I traveled through time and was given free tickets by big trucks.
When I woke up again, I was inside an egg, crowded, dark, and with a tail. There is a furry ball hanging from the tip of the tail that glows.
On the day I broke out of my shell, two elf girls wearing maid outfits and carrying swords came to me. One called me "Dragon Lord" and the other fed me sweets. One was so noisy that I wanted to die again, and the other was so quiet that I thought she fell asleep standing up.
They say that I am the last Xihuilong of Ellandia. But I know that I am just an unlucky social animal, holding in my hand an unknown reincarnation ticket. I don't know where it came from, and I don't know when it will expire.
The tail ball will light up. The dragon's breath will spray. Sugar is delicious. The two maids are very warm. As the days passed, I actually felt that becoming a dragon wasn't that bad.
Until I discovered that there was a line of small words on the back of the ticket:
"Expiration of validity: until the day Guangyuan returns to balance."
Translated into human words: when my mission is completed, my soul will dissipate. Not death. It's completely gone.
But I didn't dare tell Ashley and Ariel. The way they smiled and said, "We will follow wherever the Dragon Lord goes," made me swallow the words that came to my lips.
I can only stuff the tail ball under my belly every night. I was afraid that it would be too bright and that they would notice that I was shaking.
The light tried very hard to shine before it went out. And I am probably the last light that is slowly dimming.
