"Get your stinking paws off , you damn dirty humans!"
Despite still able to make a movie reference, I'm actually in a really bad situation here.
A dozen or so human soldiers have got tied down under a rope net. I'm stuck because I can't cut through this net with my talons from my current position. I've already done it once before but I was on the other side of it last ti.
"Stop struggling, you stupid bird! The mage put a spell on the net"
"It's no use, calm down"
Two of the soldiers are right alongside trying to calm down and stop thrashing about, clearly, it's not working.
"Let outtttttt!"
"Is the knockout potion ready yet?"
Another soldier runs over and passes one of them a small glass bottle.
"Here it is, sir"
"Get that shit away from or you'll regret it!"
You're probably wondering how I got here? Well... it all started just before my first birthday.

"Cuuuu!"
I'm ssing around with Minos at the mont flapping my wings at him and he seems to like it, Mother and father are just off to the side of the cave.
"I'm boreddddd. Feel like I've done nothing for years"
Obviously, I'm exaggerating, just went hunting and ate dinner an hour ago.
"You can track our scents?"
"Cu?"
The planet? Are my parents part dog as well as dragon? I feel like a teenager with a curfew knowing that. No chance of ever sneaking away with that knowledge.
Mother is looking conflicted on this but she finds it hard to refuse a request from one of her kids, she's too kind for own good.
"I'm always nice… I know that's a lie but still"
"CU!"

Just before we set off the next morning, I want to have a quick check at Minos's stats.
'Status'
[Na: Minos | Species: Dragon | Level: 12]
[Health 1,000/1,000]
[Stamina 1,299/1,300]
[Magicka 700/700]
'Damn it'
Going to stop looking at Minos's status now, my levelling is just unfair compared to his growth. I an, he only eats a single animal a day and levels up like it's nothing. Of course, it only applies to animals he's actually killed but still, it's dumb how slow my level grows.
Thinking about growth, that reminds , I've stopped growing now. The phoenix species really doesn't make much sense seeing that I've beco fully grown this quickly, still the size of a small elephant I am. It has nothing to do with being impatient, this species is just weird. It seems I'll never end up the sa size as a dragon, thankfully.
Minos has grown a bit more as well but he's still tiny, will take him years before he gets close to my size. He has to be my little brother for a while longer.
As for my stats.
'Status'
[Na: Ikarus | Species: Phoenix | Level: 8]
[Health 2,000/2,000]
[Stamina 1,498/1,500]
[Magicka 500/500]
Before the imaginary person I'm giving an update to says sothing, I know my stats are higher than Minos's. That's still doesn't make it fair that he levels quicker than I. He only roughly eats half what I eat a day and he still isn't hunting and killing for his prey all the ti yet; I however kill everything I eat. It's crap how much grinding I'm having to do and this little shit levels effortlessly. Still love him though regardless.
I've gone too much off topic now, as for my stat distribution, I'm not going invest in magic for a while. Don't really see the point until I can actually use it.
Eight levels in a year of life and it will always get progressively harder. I'm not sure if I'm developing fast enough or not.
'System, are my numbers good?'
[]
Damn it, before we even leave, this system will piss off.
'Okay, let rephrase that. Are my number good compared to a human?'
[]
'Forty? Is that good?'
[]
'Isn't that obvious? What about an average soldier or knight's level?'
[]
'So, the all-knowing system doesn't know sothing again?'
[]
'We're not doing this now!'
I ignore the systems insult and this ti; I intend to leave.
"Minos, let's head out"
"CU!"
