Following the birth of Pascal, an entire month elapsed without any signs of his awakening. Growing increasingly concerned, I decided to approach Cassiopeia for answers.

"When will he wake up?"

Cassiopeia paused for a moment before responding, "It may take a few years."

"A few years!?"

I gasped in disbelief, unable to fathom such a lengthy duration.

"Unlike humans, dragons require an extended period to acclimate to the world. After hatching from their eggs, they enter a state of hibernation for several years, gradually building strength before engaging in their daily activities. They are incredibly delicate during this phase, much like our little Pascal."

Cassiopeia explained calmly.

"Really?"

I inquired, anxiously.

"Indeed."

Cassiopeia affirmed, her voice filled with certainty.
