POV Vesuvius:
The massive body of a dragon lying on the ground in a small magma pond stirred, the environnt around him rumbling.
Finally, he opened his eyes. A golden light radiated out of them.
The mass of tal and stone-like material stood up, easily towering above trees. His golden eyes looked into the distance.
Vesuvius could feel almost as if he was reborn. The energy surging through his body constantly felt warm and comfortable, as if he were subrged in warm water. He could feel the imnse force in his muscles.
He opened his mouth, grinding for the first ti in a long ti. A bluish light escaped out of the air around shifting and moving. The intense heat was constantly pulsing in his neck. He could already feel it fueling up his breath glands.
'There is still only one problem to be solved.' he thought. He focused his will on his own body. Imdiately the bluish light of radiation around him subsided, only the light of his flas still glowing.
Finally, he breathed out in relief as he knew that he narrowly avoided a huge problem, 'Just as I thought, I can really control it the sa way that I can reduce heat and smoke emitted out of my body.'

Vesuvius looked at all the freebies he got from the evolution that followed his tamorphosis and consolidated all of his changes.
'Hopefully, I didn't make a huge mistake.' he still felt doubts about the presence of the nuclear elent in his body, feeling like it went in weird directions, 'We dragons are supposed to be incarnations of nature and live. But this feels like it goes in a different direction.'
He kept contemplating the problem, feeling unsettled by the weird direction that he took, 'What was I thinking when I made these changes?'
He felt weird, almost as if he had taken a wrong turn; he could already see that he had made a wrong decision, but it was a one-way road, so there was no turning back.
'I am a dragon, and I should be using the power of nature, not going against it.'
As he started to feel terrible, a ray of sunlight suddenly ca from behind the clouds, bringing back the dragon's hope, 'Wait, is this really not natural or is it just my prejudice brought by living in a world where humans harnessed this power? Particles, radioactivity, and nuclear energy are all part of nature. Sun itself is a colossal reactor, just a fusion one! And without it, there would be no life!'
'Radioactive elents are in the ground and soil too. They are a part of nature.'
All of his thoughts suddenly moved in this new direction, his last doubts quickly vanishing, 'Yes, I have not gone astray! They killed dragons which were nature, so it is ti for to beco the anger of nature. I will harness every catastrophe that nature can produce and gain more power than any dragon before .'
With renewed vigour, Vesuvius noticed that the faint magical energy radiating in the distance beca even more visible after he grew stronger.
'First, I need to turn my magic back to vitality.'
The dragon closed his eyes and entered into his subconsciousness.
POV Thief:
The grey figure quickly descended the dark stairs, his steps so quiet that he made almost no sound. His eyes faintly glowed in the darkness after he drank a potion of night vision, allowing him to see in the dark corridor.
Everything around him was dark. Walls, ceilings, and floors are all made of dark material.
He stopped in his way suddenly, picking up a weird sound from behind a corner of the staircase. Sothing was quietly scratching at a stone, sothing sharp and hard.
'Guard or a monster?' to a professional like him. There was a huge difference between the two.
Monsters often had much more sensitive senses, but at the sa ti, they could be easily distracted or tricked as they were mostly mutated animals.
On the other side, guards lacked this supersense but, at the sa ti, were much smarter, making any attempt to distract them much harder.
'It sounds like claws scratching on the ground, so it must be a monster. Maybe one of these burning animals that are running everywhere?'
He stilled his breathing and heartbeat, knowing that it wouldn't be unusual for the monster to find him by these too. As a professional, he already took care of his sll, using alchemical potions that neutralised every body odour.
The sound of scratching kept getting louder and louder, with a faint red light glowing from behind the corner.
The thief gripped his dagger, ready to either fight or escape, depending on what would co from behind the corner.
The air started to beco hotter and hotter, with an uncomfortable feeling seeping into his body, making him feel as if he didn't sleep for days.
Only with his strong force of will, he managed to suppress unexplainable drowsiness that threatened him with him falling asleep.
The sound of scratching stopped, quiet breathing coming right from behind the corner and then... It started to move again, this ti in an opposite direction, the feeling of tiredness and the red light quickly weakening.
