Now I had really spoiled everything, because everyone was looking at me with enough attention. They were very shocked by this revelation, obviously. I kept quiet until Terrador decided to ask:

"What exactly do you mean by that? Are you talking about another universe?" everyone expected me to respond.

"Yes ... more or less, I come from another universe" I said, "This ... do you know what a human is?"

"Human? Um, I haven't heard of a creature like that before" said Volteer, "There are still many unnamed creatures, some that can be quite mysterious, enigmatic, intriguing ... er ... um ..."

"Why are you asking that Jhonny? Does a 'human' have something to do with you?" Cynder asked.

"Honestly ... it has to see everything" I replied, "You see, a 'human' is a primate ... something like an ape"

There was a minute of silence, everyone who was there knew that the apes in their world were not good at all, because they fought against them in war.

"An ape?" said Sparx, "Are there more apes where do you come from?"

"Actually yes. But most of them have evolved into intelligent creatures," I said.

"As you say, I don't want to have to face them in another war ..." Cyril said.

"The truth is that several of them live normal lives ... they are the dominant species of their world, which is called Earth"

"Wow, what a place it must be ..." said Sparx.

"And aren't they looking for war? Um, it seems the opposite of what we had" Spyro said.

"In the past, they had various wars, but they fought each other, not against other species," I continued.

"It all seems really fascinating" said Terrador, "But what do they have to do with you?"

I thought for a moment to speak, I knew I had to tell them the truth:

"I ... am ... or at least, before I was ... a human"

Another minute of silence passed. Then Cynder spoke:

"But, at first glance ... you look like a dragon"

"By the ancestors, I can't believe the logic of that possibility! An evolved creature from the apes, from another universe, transformed into a dragon in ours!" said Volteer, "Such a phenomenon should not be possible, although similar events happened at times, but this completely changes everything! This is really shocking, incredible ... er ...

"Volteer, calm down" stopped Terrador.

"Oh, sorry, sometimes I have a habit of get away with words. In any case, I have a question: if you are from another world, how did you get here? "

I then proceeded to tell them the story of what had happened to me while I slept: the strange void of floating islands, the darkness and the lights with the huge figures.

"... And then I appeared as a dragon. I know it seems like a very strange dream ..."

"I've had weird dreams before too, so I believe you" Spyro said.

"Terrador, what do you think the dream that Jhonny had means?" Cynder asked.

"Umm ... I don't know exactly. But I think the void, the floating islands and the beams of light belong to the realm of convexity."

"The realm of convexity?" I asked puzzled.

"It is a space between dimensions" said Spyro "Long ago, an evil dragon, Malefor, tried to escape from his portal through it".
