Project Zero - Book 1 (Name yet to be decided)

Chapter 4: Light In Darkness

Tap tap, tap tap, tap tap.
~Snowy one, wake up, do not lose hope so soon, embrace the cold around you and become whole again~ A voice calls "B-but how..." I respond as I attempt to do as it says.
~Embrace what you are, embrace the element that belongs to you, control it, own it~ The voice says.
I start to feel my body, able to feel my legs, my paws, my ears, my tail and all, then the realisation hits me as I open my eyes "What just happened" I ask as I look around, seeing an unfamiliar winged creature with black scales, four horns and oddly coloured eyes, a long tail with a dangerous looking bladed tip and blades at the pinnacle of its wings.
~You just reformed your body using the element that belongs to you, the cold, or more specifically the snow" the creature says; I blink as I look at it "What are you and why're you helping me?" I ask, checking my whole body is in tact once again ~My name is Esulyis but most call me Sly and I'm a dragon but as for the reason I'm helping you, that's because everyone and everything deserves a chance to live~ It says. I look around noticing that I'm no longer in the enclosure I had been in before and now am rather in some kind of storage facility.
The dragon looks around before looking back at me ~Project Zero is it not?~ it asks, somehow knowing that I'm an experiment and what project I am "Yes, why do you ask?" I respond and it nods ~Well I'll just call you Zero then, is that OK?~ it asks and I simply nod, seeing no harm in removing the project part of my name.
I stretch out and groan "So my element is snow?" I ask.
The dragon nods in response to my question and moves a little, slowly getting up, snow falling from its body "Yes, I've been creating snow for you for around two days now so you could reform yourself, I'm glad we weren't found in that time, it appears the humans in this complex are rather incompetent" It chuckles slightly before sighing.
I notice the dragon shivering slightly and frown slightly "Are you ok? you're shivering" I ask, getting merely a quiet nod in response 'I don't think it's adept to the cold... It did this all for me at the risk of making itself ill' I think, making a mental note of the dragons kindness to me.
The dragon looks at me soon after "Are you hungry?" it asks, something I'd not really thought about before now so I simply blink in response earning a quiet chuckle from the dragon "I'll take that as a 'I don't know' shall I?" it asks. I nod quietly on response to the dragon who nods in response and slowly gets up, heading to a box on one of the shelves. Taking a large hunk of meat out of it and slides it along the icy floor to me "here, have some of this, it should make sure you're not too hungry" I do just that, starting to dig into the meat, hearing a soft laugh from the dragon who has laid back down near me, eating an apple despite looking like a meat eater. I stop paying attention rather quickly and focus on eating, not realising how hungry I had been or that I could even get hungry.
