BXBX NOVEL Chapter 135 Arad's First Awakening: Very Young Dragon
The butler stared at Jack, lifting an eyebrow, "We have decent healers at the mansion. Bring him in, and will get him up in moments,"
"He needs rest," Jack replied. "We will send you a letter when he starts feeling better," Jack then left the guild, leaving the butler standing there.
He then left for Merlin to ask about the dracorage spell, but she only knew the name.
Days quickly passed, and before anyone knew it, Arad woke up.
Five days after Arad fell asleep in the cave, his eyes slowly opened, feeling the blood rush in his veins. CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! His spine cracked when he moved his neck, lifting his head.
Scales fell from his shoulders, leaving an empty shell as he breathed.
Arad\'s size has doubled, and he now stands at three meters in his draconic form and is nine meters from head to the tip of his tail.
Arad stretched his wings, realizing how massive they got. No wonder they couldn\'t lift him before. He went from a five-meter wingspan to fifteen meters.
His torso resembled a dog, with a muscular upper torso and a lean stomach. His arms and legs were thick and muscular and strong enough to easily maneuver his heavy body across all surfaces.
^I am bigger than that red dragon,^

[Frightful presence] The terrifying roar of a dragon. The sheer depth of the voice causes people to fear it.
[Awe presence] The void dragon\'s deep voice can be soothing when he talks. It grants people a sense of ease, a feeling that the dragon is a reliable being to trust.
%You either hear the dragon roar and knew he\'s coming to kill you and get scared, or hear it and be glad you aren\'t on his list. When Arad roar, Aella, and Jack would get the awe presence while what they are fighting gets the frightful one%

Arad opened his jaw and closed it, extending his claws and scratching his arms to remove the stuck scales.
CRACK! Arad heard the sound of something shattering. He looked forward and saw a kobold woman staring at him with shaking hands. She had dropped the bowl of water she carried.
"My Lord. You\'re awake!" She bowed, "How majestic," she lifted her head, glaring at Arad\'s draconic form.
"You..." Arad tried to speak but stopped remembering he couldn\'t talk in his draconic form. And then, he realized he just talked.
He can speak now that he\'s a very young dragon.
"You don\'t need to bow," Arad said. His deep voice made the kobold woman bow again. "Oh! My lord, I wouldn\'t dare,"
"How long have I slept?" Arad asked.
"Almost six days, my lord," She looked at Arad, "You must be hungry. Shall I bring you something to eat?"
Arad looked into her eyes, and it didn\'t take him a second to sense the fear inside her. They are afraid that he might eat them now that he is awakened. A hungry dragon isn\'t something anyone wants to deal with.
"Worry not. I prefer to hunt my own food," Arad said.
The woman froze, "My lord, we are only skin and bones."
"Sorry, I didn\'t mean I wanted to eat you." Arad shook his head. "I will go out and hunt monsters in the forest. You and anyone I don\'t see as a threat aren\'t food," Arad stood on all four, swinging his tail from left to right.
"My lord, may I speak?" The woman said, scratching her cheek.
"You have already been talking," Arad replied.
"The tunnels ahead are too small for your majestic figure," The woman said, looking at the door behind her.
Arad nodded, "I know. I was stretching my body." He shifted into his humanoid form.
Arad\'s clothes were still on him, but they felt tight. The muscles on his body grew larger to reflect his 21 strength.
"I probably need new clothes," Arad mumbled, walking through the tunnels with the kobold woman.
With each step, the kobold in the tunnel felt Arad\'s presence moving, causing them to freeze in fear. His awakening was quite sudden, and many of them didn\'t want him to see them fumbling around with traps or being stupid.
To the kobolds, Arad\'s opinion of them meant life or death. If they looked weak or useless, they would get eaten.
After walking for a while, they reached the third layer. "I didn\'t see any of the elders," Arad asked.
"They are engrossed in their work, planning for the future. Shall I call them to meet you?" The woman asked.
"No need, we can talk when they have time, don\'t disturb their work." Arad replied, looking at the woman with a smile, "Their work is important, and I can\'t mess that up for them,"
Arad didn\'t know how those impacted the kobolds. The woman merely nodded as it thought of it as a matter of fact. She then went to tell the kobolds that they are worth their work to Arad, and slacking can mean grave consequences.
"My lord!" The ant queen cried, rushing toward Arad and almost stomping him. "I have missed you!" She circled around him.
"I was just sleeping," Arad sighed, and the queen gave him a closer look.
"My lord, did you get stronger?" The ant queen asked.
Arad nodded, "Of course, I did get older as a dragon,"
"No! No! How could I reach you if you kept getting stronger? It\'s unfair! Unfair!" The queen cried.
As the ant queen started throwing a tantrum, Arad sneaked out to the second lair.
The Axols\' attitude didn\'t change. They reached out to him. He patted them a bit and then left for their business.
Arad then walked toward the first layer, where he found a door locking his way. ^This door wasn\'t here before. Did the goblins make it?^ Arad thought as he pushed the door open.
Arad saw the goblins hustling behind the door, cleaning their lair and decorating the walls. He walked out, and the goblins stared at him momentarily before panicking, "His Lordship is awake!"
