A New Friend

MC POV

I woke up with a mind splitting headache with a beam of sun hitting my face but oddly also felt comfortable.

Waiting for my headache to subside while I wiggled a little for the sun to get out of my face, I hear humming of an unfamiliar tune and feeling something stroking my back lightly.

While in a daze listening to the calm humming I suddenly remembered the earlier events with the giant Water Boa in the lake before I passed. I instantly went on guard and forced myself from whatever was holding me making some distance before turning around. what came into view was the beautiful elf lady I saw earlier by the water.

' Well looks like I happened to save here by luck' I thought to myself while slightly relaxing, but still stayed Cautious of the elf.

' Even if God said Elves kinda worship the dragons as God's here due to nature but that also doesn't mean that they don't also only worship us due to power and right now I'm weak as hell with no way of protecting myself other than running away ' I thought to myself while on instinct arching my back and growling like a scared cat staring down the elf with narrowed eyes.

' Well that seems to have done the trick ' I thought to myself due to the elf stopping an looking worriedly at me, though she does seem more worried that I'll run away.

' might as well check her stats now that a have some time ' activating the world eye

[ Aria Evergreen Lvl 46 ]

Race: High Elf

Description:

High-Elves are a humanoid race with an inate talent for archery and nature magic. High elves have a greater life span than their lesser kin [Elves] due to their greater connection with nature having them live about twice as long as a normal elf. Due to their greater longevity they have an even lower fertility than normal elves. The male population of high elves having a lower sex drive than normal elves due to the lowered fertility rate leaving them low in number. The female population of high elves will also refuse to mate with normal elves or any other lower race. Only Races' they believe above themselves are the Dragons, God's, and Spirits with the exception of the human hero for breeding due to their power.

' Geez.... I really didn't need to know about there mating habits but at least this tells me that this girl doesn't seem to have bad intentions towards me if I'm seen as a greater power.' I thought to my self while sitting down like a dog because it just felt more natural with four limbs now.

Sitting down and feeling more relaxed I see the elf Aria start to slowly move closer to me.

As she was was moving closer putting herself right in front of me as she spoke words to sooth me while sticking out her hand to touch my head " It's okay girl I'm not going to hurt you "

I was kinda peeved that she called me a girl but what can you do when you look like I do now, all pretty and fluffy. So I just let out a sigh and let her touch my head.

"hehehe, you're so soft" she said as she was petting me. ' Well that seemed to make her happy I guess ' I thought to myself while letting her pet me a little longer.

After a few seconds I shook her hand off my head then just looked at her why tilting my heading questioningly trying to ask who she was even though I already know it's better to get it from her, don't want her finding out I have the [World Eye].

Looking at eachother I saw on her face that she didn't really know what I was trying to get across. So I though I should try writing something but the only language a know from this world thanks to that translation skill Satou gave me is the ancient dragon language my mother used to leave a note for me, It's kinda weird its like the language just imprinted in my brain allowing me to be fluent in writing, not sure about speach yet though but I'm pretty sure I can pull it off if I ever have to speak to another dragon buy I think that's just due to me being a dragon. Anyways let's write something and maybe do to her worshipping my kind she'll know it.

I began writing with my claw the word "Name?" to see if she understood but when she looked at the writing her eye widend.

'Oh? Does that mean she understands?' I thought while tilting my head to the side in a questioning manner once again.

"I'm sorry I don't understand this language. I only know the Elvish language and Human language. I'm just surprised that you can write you seem so young." Aria said smiling wryly

'Hmm... maybe if I try motioning for her to write something then I can learn her language with the skill?' After a few seconds of contemplating how to motion for her to write I did what I thought would be the simplest way for her to understand.

I hopped in her lap startling her due the sudden movement. Now that I'm in very close snd have a good view of anything she will write, I move my head grabbing her sleeve and tugging at it.

"Awww do you want me to pet you some more?" as she began to stroke my back.

I swatted her hand away with my tail and pointed at the ground where I wrote the 'Name?'.

"Um.. sorry I still don't know what that says"

I shook my head and grabbed her sleeve. With her not Resisting I moved her hand to the ground and moved it around in the dirt indicating that I want her to write something

" Oh? so you want me to write something in my language? Do you think that will help?"

I nodded my head happy that she understands me now. At my agreement she moved her hand down and wrote something. At first it only looked like a very elegant version of hieroglyphics, but once she finished it was like my vision blurred and I had a small sting go through my head. upon open my eyes I see her writing again and understood that it said 'HI, My name is Aria'.

'I guess that pain was just like an indication of like an upload or something of the sort but why didn't it happen with the Draconic language? Eh whatever imma just chop it up to me being a dragon'.

Now with the ability to communicate with Aria, I hop off her lap and once again begin to face her. she seemed to be a bit sad that I left her lap but it would have been uncomfortable to reach down to write on the ground.

I stuck out my claw and began to write again but this time in the Elven dialect. ' Hello, I'm Augustus but just call me Aug' I wrote

Now the Elf girl looked very surprised and sat there for a good 30 seconds before blurting out " You're a boy?" a bit annoyed that was the first word out her mouth, like damn women I just learned you entire language in a matter of seconds and your concern is my gender? but I just nodded 'yes' giving her an answer.

"Oh, sorry for calling you a girl earlier... you just look so pretty". she said looking at me like she wants to cuddle

'No worries, question though is there any way else we can communicate other than speach seems I can speak let and writing everything is tiresome' I wrote out for her

"Ah, yes there is I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier. It's called telepathy it allow people in close proximity with one another to speak to eachother through thought. It's usually only used when you wanna say something without it be heard." she said as she stood up and placed her hand on my head I didn't react because she already described the spell to me.

Upon touching my head a white light covered her hand, it was a really weird feeling like my mind was connected with something. As soon a she lifted her hand from my head I heard her speak 'Hey, can you hear me?' when I heard that I can tell it was different from her normal speaking it felt like those story people told on earth about there being voice in their head that told them to do stuff.

'Yes I can, this feels really weird' I said but now my voice sounds that of a child I hate how cute it sounds

'Yeah don't worry about it you'll get used to it, So why are you all alone out here you don't look old enough to be without your parents' she said with a concerned tone

'Hmmm? oh that well from the note my mother left in the cave behind the waterfall it seems that my mana signature she felt from my egg was too weak so I'll have to grow up alone to get stronger and find her in the future'. I said nonchalantly

'Oh, I heard that dragons do that with their young if their mana signature shows little promise.' she said with an apologetic tone but a second later asked 'Well then since you have no where to go would you like to come to my village with me?'

'Are you sure I won't be a bother?' I asked knowing full well they would love to have a dragon live in their village

'Of course not, I'm sure everyone would love to have you. You'd have a happy life with us if you come'

'Well Ok then I take your word for it but if you don't mind could I by chance live near you I won't feel comfortable alone in your village' I said trying to sound shy. what I said was pretty much true you never know if a psycho elf tries to kid nap me while I'm sleeping. I'm too weak to protect myself right now best option is to stick close to the high elf princess.

'Definitely! I was gonna ask for that anyways' she said with a bright smile

'Now then Aria, how long should I take us to get to your village?' I asked didn't want to run out of sunlight after all.

'It shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to get there if I run. Daddy wouldn't let me go any further' she said with the last part sound having he sound annoyed

'Alright then let's get going. Don't want to run out of sunlight' I said walking in the direction she was pointing at earlier but stopped when I heard her speak

'Do you mind if I carry you? it will be faster to get there and also we won't lose the telepathy link if I am carrying you' she said with a face full of ulterior motivates. she obviously just want to cuddle me on the way but her reasoning was to solid to refuse

'.... Fine' I said as I walked over and jumped into her arms

'Hehe Now let's get going!' she said in an excited school girl voice.

After that 15 minutes flew by and we were infront of a huge silver wall with a twin door entrance decorated elegantly with Elvish writing but I could also feel that wall could hold firm to some crazy shit it was just a gut feel but I learned to trust it after the Boa incident and won't even bother asking how they managed to get this huge ass wall here. Also aren't elves supposed to be living in a village set up or even just in the tree?

While thinking to myself I hear Aria interrupt my thought saying out loud this time

"Welcome to Elven Kingdom of Edalgard" as the gate began to open
