Reborn as a DRAGON

Chapter 248: A new life



Chapter 248: A new life

Kaida stood in awe as she gazed at the small flame flickering above her palm. She had always known that magic was real, and have seen the destruction one could bring with it first hand. But to actually wield it herself was a feeling beyond her wildest dreams. She did not need any medium, no mana stone, no nothing. The dragon, her new master, who had been watching her with a patient and understanding gaze, waited for her to become familiar with her newfound powers before imparting some much-needed advice.

"Remember, Kaida," her master spoke with a deep and resonating voice. "Mana is the essence of all magic. To wield it, you must first learn how to guide and channel it. As an ascended mage, your connection to the mana stream and your respective element will be stronger than ever before. Use this power wisely, for it can bring great good or great destruction. In the end, it all depends on you."

Kaida nodded, taking in his words with a solemn understanding. She had always known that magic was a force to be reckoned with, especially with what happened in her past. but it seemed like she had never truly grasped its potential until now.

Her heart raced as she looked up at the dragon, her new master. She had never felt such a mix of awe, respect, and gratitude for anyone before. The dragon had not only bestowed upon her the gift of magic but also given her the courage to face her past and turn a new leaf in her life.

"Thank you," she said softly. "For everything."

Her master nodded, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "You have a long journey ahead of you, Kaida. But I believe that with dedication, perseverance, and the right mindset, you can truly become one of the future pillars of magic."

Kaida nodded, feeling a sense of determination and purpose building inside her. She knew that this was just the beginning of her journey, and she was ready to embrace it with open arms. She had nothing left for her here in this backwater village. Instead, she will further progress in her new path as an ascended mage and take her destiny into her own hands. She silently promised herself, her eyes flickering with resolution.

"Now then, it is time for you to return to the church's headquarters. There, as I mentioned before, you will meet your senior brothers and sisters who will teach you all you need to know about being an ascended mage. So, are you ready to go?" He asked, his voice gentle but commanding.

Kaida nodded, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation building inside her. She had never flown before, let alone with a dragon. But somehow, she knew that she was in safe hands.

Her master then gently lifted her up in his massive palm, and Kaida couldn't help but gasp at the sheer size and power of the creature. She felt both small and insignificant in his presence but also incredibly honored to be chosen as his apprentice.

As they took off into the sky, Kaida felt a rush of wind blowing through her hair, and her heart skipped a beat. The world below her looked so small and insignificant, and she realized that this was truly happening, she made it. She was no longer stuck in that awful village, she no longer had to face the scornful gazes of the villagers, instead, she was about to discover a whole new world of magic, one that she had never imagined possible.

Kaida glanced down at the villagers that quickly turned as tiny as a dot. Her master did not care to talk to them any longer. After she succeeded, he simply took her and left. The villagers did not have any time to say anything, nor did they understand what had happened. It was all so abrupt, but she did not care.

Her heart was racing as they flew through the sky. The wind was rushing past her, blowing her hair back and making her feel weightless. For a moment, she was terrified, her stomach churning with fear, but the feeling quicky passed as she continued to watch the world below her.

The trees and buildings looked so small, like toys, and the roads and rivers looked like thin, winding threads. She saw fields of golden wheat waving in the breeze, and orchards full of ripe, juicy fruit. In the distance, she saw a range of mountains, their peaks covered in snow, and she gasped at the sheer majesty of them.

As they flew over a river, her new body allowed her to see clearly, Kaida caught sight of the fish jumping out of the water, their scales glittering in the sunlight. She saw a group of children playing in a meadow, chasing each other and laughing. She saw a herd of cows grazing in a field, their tails flicking lazily back and forth.

It was like she was seeing the world with new eyes. She had never realized how beautiful and vast it was before. A sense of awe and wonder washed over her, as she wondered if this was how her master saw everything all the time, from high above. A smile slowly spread across her face.

Her master continued his flight swiftly and steadily toward the church's headquarters, and Kaida felt a sense of peace wash over her with him by her side. She was truly blessed.

But, as they approached their destination Kaida felt a sense of sadness. She didn't want the flight to end. She wanted to keep soaring through the sky, seeing new sights and experiencing new sensations.

And so, their journey finally reached an end as they flew over the majestic mountain range, the large church building slowly came into view. She glanced at her new home for the foreseeable future with an interested gaze. Besides the main building of the church, a massive pillar was erected from the ground with a group of soldiers standing guard around it. To the other side of the plateau was an enormous arena, that was connected to a large platform.

Her master tilted his body and flew down toward said platform. As soon as he landed, Kaida hopped off his palm, feeling a little disoriented but also incredibly exhilarated.

It didn't take long before a large crowd appeared to welcome their arrival. All of the people present glanced at her with curious, and envious gazes.

'This is it, the start of my new life!'
