So, the quest to cure my curse begins! I'm unironically looking forward to this, I bet I'll have to slug it through heaven and hell, fight creatures from mythical legends all to give myself a chance at everlasting life. If I put it that way, this quest sounds bloody brilliant!
There is a slight problem though.
I'm unsure how to actually go about this.
I think my best chance of finding soone who can help is the battlemage but she and the captain still aren't back. I could go to the capital and try to find them but that's like trying to find a needle in a haystack, they could literally be anywhere in the city. The palace is another option to ask for that prince Alistair guy but I doubt the guards would even consider sending a ssage to him.
I've purposely left the most important part of it as well, none of the family actually know which city it even is. Both parents have a rough idea but flying over to have a quick check is sothing that needs to be avoided.
So, the only thing I can think of right now is waiting for the next ssenger to visit the cave and using them for help. The problem is, they only co after a set amount of ti.
It's been roughly half a month and they still haven't arrived yet.

'Look Aesa, this curse is so freaking dumb, I've lost sixteen days of life already!'
[]
'Really? Ah, that's good then, that's another five hundred days'
If it isn't obvious, I'm going to add every single point into health as I level up. I won't be able to improve my energy or magic consumption for the ti being but that should make sense why. I've also been purposely hunting as much as I possibly can as well recently, that also should also be obvious why. More EXP equals more stat points so which gives more life for this mighty bird.
'Why couldn't it be a cool curse like growing a third limb or sothing like that?'
[]
'Dirty Aesa, get your mind out of the gutter! I said limb, not third leg. Bad system!'
"They’re back already? That was quick"
Tis just and my old man in the cave right now, both the other dragons have gone hunting for our lunch today.
"Cu!"
'He really can't help but stutter around dragons, can he?'
[]
'Aesa, it was a rhetorical question'
While the greeting is going on, I notice sothing new about the guard, his knight's armour looks slightly different than before. So of the arm and leg plates have been replaced with bits from that black dragon scale he received, I'm actually surprised they allowed him to keep it.
"S-Sorry Mr. dragon?"
I'm not the only one who's confused, mother is as well, this wasn't the plan. what is he doing, why do the terms need to change? The guard is looking stressed as well.
"E-Erm… okay then"
The human gives father a docunt he brought with him and continues on.
Listening to father like this, it sounds like he's a high-ranking soldier in the military or sothing similar bossing the guy around. I guess the knight can't exactly say no, can he?
Father heads towards the nest and mother cos over to now, clearly trying not to tear up.
"Mother, no! We already agreed, no crocodile tears. This is for the best, rember?"
I do love my parents but God, they really can be seriously emotional beings.
Mother gives a long hug then steps back again, there clearly is a tear in her eye.
"O-Okay"
"Cu?"
The guard and Minos both do as asked and then father now over by the nest, pulls the furs off revealing the money pit and takes a few things from it. Once he gets what he needs, he puts the furs back on again and cos back to us. Of course, Minos returns instantly back to the nest once it's placed back down.
"Little one, you might want to change form… Human! if you even think about turning around right now, be prepared to lose your eyes and another valuable body part"
"I-I w-wont!"
'Thinking about it, I kinda miss my valuable body part. It definitely helped with going to the loo. I think that's what father was referring to'
Once I've done what father asked and I quickly put on the training clothes I got, he cos over to and passes several items. A shiny silver broadsword, a bag of gold coins and a golden ring that had a small ruby engrained on it.
I've already got my enchanted choker; I wonder what this ring has.
"It's enchanted? With what?"
I put the ring on and give it a quick check by touching the tip of the blade I've been given against the ruby engrained in it.
[Do you wish to store -Silver Broadsword- in storage?]
[Yes or No]
A small bar similar to the first ti I unlocked system appeared in front of , it didn't make any noise but looked extrely similar.
[]
'You just called yourse-… I'll drop it for now. Yes, most definitely'
[]
[]
As soon as system finishes speaking, the sword starts fading from existence and within a second, it was completely transparent and gone.
'I need to check whe- Is soone talking to ?'
Was father communicating? Must off missed what he said. He was right up close by my face now, was completely zoned out with my new ability.
"Sorry, was talking to the voice"
Father looks extrely uncomfortable and mother is smiling, I wonder the reason why?

'So, a small elephant worth of weight? That's a really good amount. Hang on, can I not view what I've got stored though? It's like opening a fridge, you need visual confirmation to know what you want to get'
