I burst out of the water. A burst of energy ignites my open eyes. I see the shore. I swim for it. I grab it with my hands. I look at them and I jump. Claws. I have claws. They also look bigger. I feel not the cold nor the pain in my chest anymore although blood still drips. I feel no pain. I feel... nothing. I hoist myself out of the water. How... am I not dead? I've seen the darkness, and I saw a cold light. 

I feel the water dripping off me. How... why? What happened to me? I don't remember. I don't remember what happened after he stuck his sword into me. I feel the wound. Blood spills from it. Yet... why do I not feel pain? There's no pain.

"I see you're awake." A voice says.

I turn. I see a giant dragon. But I feel not afraid. Why do I not feel fear? It's a literal dragon! It just looks at me. I cock my head. It does the same. The dragon was white as snow. The dragon had wings transparent as ice. A crown of thorns and a blue gem on its chest.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"Your humble servant." She lowers her head.

"Am I a prince?" I ask.

"You can be." She points. 

I turn. I see a silver glistening crown lined with blue gems. It's pointier than I thought when I got close. I take it. I look at myself in the gems and realize... I'm a lot bigger and taller than I used to be. My chest was bigger. I stare at my white hair and glowing blue eyes. I never expected myself to be this different from a mere child. It feels like something probably. 

"Do you want revenge on those who killed you?" She asks.
