Amadeus was immediately rushed back to the palace."Father, what happened?"
"Your son has the sun and moon inside of him..."
"""""What?!""""
Everyone was shocked, yet Caesar brought down another bombsh.e.l.l,
"…and one more magic core."
Everyone"s eyes widened in shock, as they looked at the heavenly genius next to them carrying his little brother. Arius didn"t understand but understood his brother was awesome as he hugged him tightly. They were then rushed into the throne room where a crystal was already ready. This was the first time that Amadeus had seen the throne room and only one word came to mind, it was magnificent.
This was the most important part of the palace, the second was the conference room, where his father had taken him to give him an idea what it was like. He thought that room was full of seriousness, but that room couldn"t even hold a candle to the solemnity present in the throne room. A beautiful gold throne sat there above countless steps. The throne room wasn"t extravagant like the movies, but it was more of a reserved one. Everything from the flooring to the ceiling was created by rare and expensive materials. It was like the dragons didn"t want to show off their wealth but also wanted to show it off.
Amadeus couldn"t tell how large it was, but the length of the two sets of pillars connecting the floor and ceiling was at least in the three digits in metres. Further on was a wall littered with torch like objects that barely lit the place. It wasn"t the brightest of places, but it did add a piece solemnity to the air. A dark purple carpet with gold lining led to the throne while the pillars had the flags of the empire. There was a total of ninety-nine steps before the throne which was elevated by one more. The blades lined the sides as they kept their bodies straight like swords ready to be unsheathed at any signs of danger.
A small crystal ball, about the size of a basketball, was there before the steps surrounded by ministers of the empire. Amadeus saw various races amongst them from cat people to the elves.
"Leave!"
Baldrik"s booming voice filled the room as he swept his piercing gaze over everyone that was present. Silently, one by one, everyone left with faces of reluctance. They wanted to see their crown prince"s status, but it seemed that they wouldn"t be able to see it.
All that was left was the crystal ball in the middle in which his grandfather stood next to it. Caesar started powering up the device which would bring out his status plate and looked towards Amadeus.
"Just put both your hands on it and let it do the rest"
Amadeus nodded and extended his hands. Placing it on top, he felt his mana get sucked into the crystal ball as it started to s.h.i.+ne in a plethora of colours, some he had never even seen in his life. This went on for a short while, before it calmed down and his grandfather picked up a card.
"Now spit on it."
Amadeus was confused but was ready to do it when Atia"s cold eyes interrupted him,
"Stop messing around Caesar!"
Turning to Amadeus she lightly said,
"Put a drop of blood on it to bind it to you."
Amadeus nodded while blus.h.i.+ng slightly at the fact that he was about to do what his grandfather had told him. Atia took out a pair of exquisite daggers. They had draconic carvings surrounding their straight single edged blades. They were both of differing lengths as Amadeus realised one was a Tanto while the other was a Wakizas.h.i.+. The tanto had a pure black blade that was about 20cm long with a black handle. The Wakizas.h.i.+"s blade was twice that, reaching 40cm long and was similar in colour. Amadeus could tell they were a pair and came from the same forge, made by the same blacksmith. Amadeus" initials were crafted onto it in the ancient Draconic language.
Looking at them, a wide grin found his face as he hugged his grandmother. He then placed the Wakizas.h.i.+ on his waist while he cut open his skin with the Tanto. He had to reduce his speed of regeneration so one drop of blood would come out. It had barely come out before the wound closed as he just smudged it onto the plate. He then put his Tanto within his robes hiding it from view.
By the time he was finished, words had appeared on the status plate.

---------------------------------
The rest were just miscellaneous skills like sneaking, mathematics etc. As for the fighting levels it seemed to go from beginner to combatant, expert and lastly master. The stats next to original were his when he was in his Dragon form. After this, he was told the general idea for the stats of certain people.
An average human would have their stats at 10, a guard and a beginner adventurer would be between 10 – 100 A common soldier and low ranked adventurer would be from 100 to 200. An elite soldier and medium ranked adventurer would be from 200 to 500. A general and a high ranked adventurer would be from 500 to 1000. The most elite of humans and heroes would be 1000+
For dragons, it was a different story. A child dragon, a recently awakened one and what Amadeus was now, was around 100 – 300. A teenage dragon was around 300-1000 while an Adult one was from 1000 to 5000. An ancient dragon was above 5000. Naturally, this was in their dragon forms meaning that Amadeus had the strength of a teenage dragon while being a recently awakened one.
There were legends saying that G.o.ds were said to have their strengths at over 10,000 but what made them different was that they had control of one of the worlds forces. It was also said that the strongest of dragons were able to contend against the G.o.ds of the world.
What shocked Amadeus the most was the last t.i.tle "Loved by the G.o.ddess of Faith and Luck." He remembered his two lives and realised that he was really lucky in everything. Luck was a formless power, sometimes he can get extremely good luck sometimes a bit of bad. It was never extremely bad, he always thought that karma seemed to go easy on him.
Now it seemed that it was true as he was loved by the G.o.ddess of faith and luck herself. His family looked at his status card and more shocks were created in their hearts. However, being a family of dragons, they reigned in their shock as the card disappeared in Amadeus"s arm. It then turned into the crest of the Drakonis royal family and printed it on his arm. Now whenever, he needed to check on his status, he could just bring it out with a thought. Playing around with it for some time, Amadeus thought about his cla.s.s when Caesar"s voice brought him out of his thoughts. With a normal voice Caesar looked at his family,
"I"ll be returning to the clan as I"ve left it for too long. I will be back later to see what cla.s.s Amadeus gets and start Arius" training."
He looked a bit sad and Amadeus felt a bit pitiful for him, but it was all thrown out the next second,
"Aww! My grandsons, your grandad is going to miss you…!"
Raining in a lot of kisses he finally left, not before a slap from Atia for nearly suffocating Amadeus and Arius. Seeing the previous emperor leave, Amadeus then turned his attention to his other grandparents who were talking to his mother. He hadn"t even had a proper introduction with them. Feeling a gaze, the three turned around and his mother beckoned for Amadeus to come over. Jumping in his mother"s arms, she lifted him up before introducing her parents.
"Ama, this is your grandfather, Silas Glacies and your grandmother Aurora Glacies. They"re my parents."
With a cute smile, he greeted them with a bow,
"h.e.l.lo, Grandfather, grandmother."
Aurora"s smile widened as Silas gave a nod. He carried the demeanour of a general while Aurora had a grandmotherly smile on her face. Aurora then reached out her hand to carry Amadeus. Amadeus was surprised at first as he was easily lifted by such weak looking old woman but just ignored it remembering that she was also a dragon.
Amadeus then spent his time with them, until they had to leave in the evening. After they left, the five made their way into the place to their residence. Lily had returned from putting a sleeping Arius away as the room"s atmosphere became serious. Amadeus felt this and also became serious, waiting for his elders to speak.
The residence was like a living room but bigger and more extravagant. There was one large sofa, a table in the middle and two chairs on opposite ends. Amadeus sat on the middle of the sofa with Lily hugging him while Baldrik and Atia sat on the chairs. Baldrik turned to Amadeus,
"There is something we must tell you, son."
Amadeus" ears p.r.i.c.ked up while Lily"s hug got tighter.
"You would need to take the throne in a couple, maybe few years."
This news was a shock to Amadeus as he looked at his mother who nodded and to his grandmother, garnering a similar reaction.
"But, why?"
This time it was Atia who spoke,
"It"s written in an agreement that the emperor must abdicate the throne when they"ve reached the ancient dragon stage. Your father has held back his evolution for some time as there was no heir, but luckily you came along. He is also nearing his limit"
"B-but-"
"No buts!"
Atia"s voice had stopped all of Amadeus" protests as she continued,
"I will be returning to the clan soon."
Baldrik looked at his son with caring eyes,
"I will stay for as long as I can to get you ready for the position. Once I"m gone, your mother would stay behind to make sure everything goes well."

Author"s note
Well, I just went with it. Was thinking of doing yin and yang or duality but decided not to. It was too long. As for duality, well it didnt exactly say what it was being a bit vague in my opinion. For celestial dragon, well I thought it sounded better. At first I was going to t.i.tle his race as golden dragon of the... but thought nah so resulted in this. It"s also my first time with the stats so help me on that, didn"t know how to do it. Need to work on the power rankings, like s, a, b, c etc. or something else.
