I see concern in Breigon, or not! he thinks I'm going to abandon him. So, I immediately talk to him, to clarify that I would never do that to him.

  - Breigon, to me you are a brother from the same litter; we are together. I won't lie to you, this is all strange, but in my inheritance, I wasn't given everything either. Maybe something similar happened to you, maybe because of those humans, I don't know, but I will guide you, brother, you can be sure of that; although I also have questions.

  Yes! Garrl is very understanding; maybe because he is a child, his mind is more open to accepting differences, but the truth is important, now I can try to find some answers; and as for his possible questions, I have no problem trying to answer him, leaving aside the topic of reincarnation, as I still believe it is not the right time. Yes! Thank God!

  - Thanks, Garrl, if you agree, we can take turns asking questions, and we'll continue until we're satisfied with the answers. What do you think?

  - I don't see a problem, but we should keep walking; I feel like it's not safe here.

  - Sure, let's continue and if you don't mind, I'll ask you first, is that okay?

  - Of course, Breigon, ask whatever you want.

  - Well, this might be strange, but I have to ask: What are we? That is to say, what do we call or identify our people? I mean, I know we look like a lizard, but...

  - Oh brother, if an adult heard you, they would think that, if you're not a "wanderer," they would at least think your half crazy. We are not lizards and that is offensive, remember it, be proud of our great lineage that comes from our great ancestors and the duty we have to them. We are kobolds! Descendants of the great dragons.

  - Dragons? Kobolds?

  That confirms to me that I am no longer on Earth. It's not something I didn't already know, but I still had some hope. I seem to remember in my previous life fantasy stories about kobolds, but the truth is, I don't know much. But putting that aside, I'm related to dragons? Seriously!

  - I see you deep in thought, brother, tell me, do you know about our great ancestors? Right?

  - Well, Garrl, I honestly remember something about dragons; they are like us, but bigger, they breathe fire like Kirkarrg did, they are lizardsssss I mean reptileeee they are very powerful and majestic! I hope I'm not mistaken, sorry.

  - Mmmm ……………………….. Have more respect for our great ancestors. I can be understanding, but an adult or a wise person will not be; they might also punish you. "Great ancestors, have compassion for my brother!" I will guide him, I swear" But yes, our great ancestors are powerful and majestic, they do much more than breathe fire; and yes, they are much greater than us. You know, I'm glad to know that you did inherit something, but I emphasize: have more respect.

  - I'm sorry, Garrl, I'll have it. I guess it's my turn to ask, right?

  If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

  - Hey! It's not fair, my doubt about whether you knew about our great ancestors was more of a concern than a question, but I'll let it slide. What else do you want to know?

  - Well, thank you. You mention something about "inheriting." What is that? I have my suspicions, but I would like to confirm them.

  - It is a magical ritual to bestow knowledge upon those whose lineage does not separate from our great ancestors and to never forget our duty. I don't know how it's done, as it wasn't passed down to me, but I know that the "wise ones" perform it; moreover, the tablets we carry are from the "wise ones" of our village.

  This clarifies a lot for me. Garrl didn't exactly come into this knowledge; they were implanted, or rather, inherited in some way, through a magical ritual? It sounds chilling, but I can't judge them. Focus, did they try to do the same to me? Is that voice related? Does remembering my previous life affect anything? How much knowledge does Garrl have? Is there a limit? So many new questions, this seems never-ending.

  - Breigon! brother! Can you hear me? Do you hear me? And just to be clear, this doesn't count as a question! And for the record, this doesn't count as a question!

  - Ahhhhhhh, I'm sorry, Garrl. Generally, I get lost in my thoughts. What do you want to know?

  - Mmmmmm ……………………….. I was asking if your name comes from one of our great ancestors? And yes, is that why it sounds and is pronounced so strangely?

  My name? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, my pseudonym that I made up. Oh, darn! What did he say? Does he expect me to tell him which ancestor he comes from? I just made it up by putting words together, and the ending "gon" was to make it sound like dragon, since I thought we resembled them, but what an irony; and the pronunciation and sound is because I was trying to speak my previous language. What did he say?

  - Well, Garrl, I just came up with my name; it sounds weird and is pronounced weird, but I just invented it. The truth is, I don't think it comes from any dragon ancestor.

  - Did you make it up? That just makes it weirder, although if you're a "wanderer," it could be, I don't know, ……………………………. Wait! You told me that you inherited knowledge, is that where your name comes from?

  - Well, the truth is yes.

  - Then there's no problem, your inheritance guided you, just as it guided me, since my name comes from the great Orgarrl; that's what I remember when I received my inheritance and then I knew my name would be Garrl.

  - …………………………… I suppose? I suppose? If you say so, Garrl. But rest assured that it comes from my knowledge, that I am sure of.

  - Don't worry, brother, if we find a wise man, he will guide you about your ancestor. It's in our lineage. Kirkarrg said that they might be able to help you, and you might even be able to reclaim your entire heritage. I know you say you believe you don't have it, but the fact of this conversation proves otherwise; a "wanderer" couldn't. Those skills you have come from our ancestors and were passed down to you. Remember, you must always be grateful to them and fulfill our duty to them.

  I wish I could tell Garrl that this knowledge doesn't come from his ancestors, unless there was a draconian secret society pulling the strings in my world, haha, but seriously, I can talk to Garrl because I am an adult human inside a kobold hatchling; it sounds very crazy, but this is now my reality. I don't know what to think about reclaiming my supposed draconic heritage; I'm afraid to think that something might happen to my current self. I don't want to forget who I am nor lose my humanity, even if it sounds silly in my current situation.

  - Brother! I think we can rest there. From up high, we can watch if something moves and if it's dangerous.

  The truth is, I had completely lost interest in our surroundings due to our brief conversation, but since we left the river, we had only walked to the nearest wall. This place was just another cave, quite large like the one where the village was; Garrl points to an elevation on the wall, like a cliff or crag. So, we proceeded to climb, and I'm glad to know that this body is designed for climbing, as it was relatively easy to ascend just like in the crevice; once we were up, we rested. I still had questions, one in particular worried me, but a little rest doesn't hurt.
