(April 3)

"Y-y-you're a DRAGON???"

William shouted at me as he pulled out his staff preparing to fight me.

I was confused at the time, and I was baffled. I had asked him what he meant by that but he jumped back and was chanting a spell.

Ice spears appeared around him and I realize he wasn't going to listen.

William was an A ranked wizard, in a normal situation there was no way I could've possible beaten him but right now William was unprepared and was hastily summoning his spells.

Wizards have high attack but low defense, they need time to prepare their spells and their attacks, which is usually why wizards fight in parties. When they do use their spells do attack though, they have the potential to do a tremendous amount of damage.

But without anyone protecting the wizard, the situation would be a lot different.

I quickly jumped at William hoping to disarm him but even though wizards are weak close range, you would expect an A ranker to have some sort of backup, which is exactly what William had.

William summoned a insta-shield he created out of his magic.

I accidentally slammed into the shield and bounced back.

By then William had finished his ice spears and shot them at me, there wasn't much room in the lab and so I had to dash behind a table and hide.

I tried shouting to William again to stop and talk it out, but William still wouldn't listened to me.

I grabbed a nearby potion bottle, which at the time I had no idea what it did, peeked my head over the table and chucked the potion at him.

William flinch and at that moment, I kicked the table towards him and caused a piles of paper to go flying and created a huge mess.

This distracted William enough for me to dash behind him and grab his staff.

He struggled to keep hold of his staff, however he was a wizard and I was a soldier/ knight, it was no contest in terms of strength and I ripped the staff out of his hand.

I then grabbed his arm and pushed him onto the ground and pressing his face onto the ground.

He was shouting and screaming like a kid so I gave him a big slap to face and told him to calm down.

Which he then did.

William took a deep breath in and out and I slowly, very slowly, eased my grip on him.

William apologized, he looked at me straight in the face and said these exact words right to my face:

"Who are you...? Wait, do you not realize you have dragon blood and dragon essence within you?"

William got up and started cleaning up the mess while I stood there dumbfounded.

Dragon blood?

I have... dragon blood and dragon essence within me?

William told me to leave and then come back the next day, which I did and I stayed at a nearby motel that Briggs introduced me to and now I'm writing into my journal.

(April 4)

It's now morning and I'm preparing to go back to William, hopefully I can get him to explain what's going on with me... does the dragon blood have anything to do with the scales that have been showing up on me?

.

After I entered William's "lab", he greeted me and told me to sit in the seat next to him.

I was suspicious that he might try something but I had no choice, he was the only person who knew what was going on with me.

He once again, apologized for his "foolish" actions yesterday and then he proceeded to explain that he wasn't thinking straight yesterday, if he had thought about it logically there was no way a dragon could turn into a human and my blood didn't have enough dragon essence in it for me to be a dragon.

I nodded and said I understand, I wasn't going keep a grudge or anything.

I told him I didn't know anything about it either, and then I also showed him the scales on my arm which were growing. I said that this never happened to me before, and this suddenly appeared all over my body after meeting the dragon...

William seemed to be extremely fascinated with the scales, he took a magnifying glass and looked through it and rubbed his hand against my arm to feel the scales.

He was getting awwwwfullyyyyy close... it was starting to get a bit awkward.... well at least for me, William didn't seem to notice, or at didn't care.

He asked for permission if he could "borrow" a scale, and I was hesitant but I agreed and he plucked one of the scales off as if it were a leaf...

Ouch again.

He examined it and then placed it under a microscope.

I sat there in silence for a bit before William stood up and looked at me.

He then offered me deal, to come stay with him for a while and help him with his experiments and research in exchange he'd pay me vast sums of money. Also he'd help me manage the dragon scales on me and fully utilize it to it's full potential.

I asked him how long would I stay here for, and he thought about it and replied: "Maybe a few years?"

A few years... in exchange for information, and money... with the money he offered I could live like a king without working for the rest of my life...

I told him I'd think about it and he nodded.

I then asked him if he knew anything about the scales and why they were growing, was it contagious? Would it effect my family?

William shook his head, and sat down again.

Then he told me what he knew.

When someone absorbs dragon essence, they temporarily become gain a lot of power, however it will eventually disperse and they'll go back to normal and the only reason dragon essence doesm't disperse inside of a dragon is because of it's dragon blood, which attracts the essence and keeps it there.

Now, meaning even if it weren't a dragon, but has dragon blood, it could also have dragon essence... however dragon blood loses it's properties after a dragon dies so you can't keep a bottle of dragon blood or anything.

So the only way to get dragon blood is to inject the dragon blood into another living being before the dragon dies.

However, dragon blood is extremely poisonous and even a single drop could kill even strong knights and it's power will twist the person's organs inside out causing the person to implode and die.

Also if the blood isn't compatible, the dragon blood might even evaporate all the blood in the body of the new host and kill it.

Simply put it's nearly impossible to take dragon blood into yourself.

The amount of things you would have to consider is insane, the amount you inject, the right blood type, keeping the dragon alive so it's blood doesn't lose it's properties, defeat a dragon in the first place.

The chances of it succeeding and obtaining dragon blood within you is less then 0.0000000000000000001% (not exact number but an estimate).

But it seems that exact thing... happened to me, according to William, after hearing my entire story he hypothesized that maybe while I was stuck during the dragon attack and when Gin came along and fought the dragon (the guy who saved me) the dragon spilled some blood which got evaporated into the air and somehow got into my wounds.

That means now... I'm part dragon and can wield dragon essence according to William...

"You are the only person in the world that has dragon blood within you, congrats."
