The Dragonborn

The kingdom of the dragonborns

There was once a kingdom led by the dragonborne. A rich and fruitful country with a strong king. The king protected his subjects, and they protected their king.
However, the peaceful days were nearing an end, as the war with the other nations began. In a world full of magic, the thirst for power grows. The country of dragons holds great power, which often made other nations start wars with them, as everyone wanted to gain the power of the dragons.
Having the mighty dragons on their side, would of course make some invincible.
The king was doing everything in his might, to protect his people and also the dragons within his country.
Being the dragonborne gave him great power, he was able to make peace between his people and the dragons.
Edric was the king that the country needed. The huge division within the country made it weak against the other nations. The previous kings had led the country into poverty and constant wars. He was the very first king, that cared about his country, people and forming allies.  He was the one, who made peace with the dragons, as a dragonborne, he took his duty of protecting them and made a barrier that protected  them from the greed of humankind.
He had forged a bond with them, that made him and his country stronger. He had gained the trust of Fafnir, who became his guardian. With Fafnir on his side, he won many battles and made his country flourish once again.
The dragons loved the king, he was the first dragonborne, that cared about them just as much as of his own kind. They would often talk with him and give him advices. Their bond was unique some days he would spend all night talking to the dragons.
He would make the far trips into the hills to offer them protection from the power thirsty humans, and also from those, who hunted dragons for their own benefit.
Having the dragon scales, or their claws could be turned into powerful weapons, which could be sold off for a very high price.
For a very long time the number of dragons dwindled, as the thirst for power of the other dragonbornes led to mass killings of multiple kinds of dragons. They would be hunted and killed for their scales and claws.  Basically, the whole body of the dragons could be turned into powerful magic weapons.
With the death of the last dragonborne, and the leadership of Edric finally brought peace to everyone.
He casted a powerful protective barrier that could not be crossed by anyone that did not come from the dragonborne family. The “others” could not cross the barrier, as his blood was required to pass the barrier
As his wife was close to giving birth to his first son, he took her to the hills of the dragons, where she gave birth to their first son, Reagan. From the very first moment he was born, he received the blessings from the dragons, which would in the future give him great power.
Reagan was born with a very odd feature. His eyes looked like the eyes of the dragons. His striking yellow eyes glimmered from the very first time he took a glimpse of his parents. Until the birth of Reagan no other dragonborne had the features of a dragon, this was given to Reagan because he received the blessings of the dragons.
Edric was both, very happy and worried about this special blessing that his son received. Having the eyes of the dragons meant that his son could never lead a normal life, his life would always be in danger as it could be easily seen, from which lineage his son came from. If there would ever be a war within his country, his son could be spotted out very easily, thus he secretly swore to himself, that if anything would ever start to become dangerous, he would hide his only son within the realm of the dragons.

Soon came the time for the ceremony in his castle, as the birth of his son had to be celebrated in the kingdom, with the help of his trusted friend Fafnir, he brought his new born and his wife back into his castle.
The preparations for a grand celebration were being made, his wife took care of their son, while Edric invited his trusted allies into his kingdom.

On the day of the celebration the lord of the Phoenix came forth and presented a necklace made from the very own feather of his phoenix. This was a very special gift to the young Reagan, as it is said that the holder of the phoenix necklace would be blessed with the protection of the phoenix itself.
This gift made Edric think back of the time when Nenaias had his first born. He was the one who gave his daughter the ring made out of his very own protector, Fafrni’s,claw and a necklace made of Fafnir’s scale, as Nenaias is a friend that he holds very dear, he felt the need to protect his daughter, as if she were his own blood.
As the celebration went on, the other nations also gave small blessings to the young Reagan. Edric went out into the cold winters day to take in the fresh air.
“Edric, my friend, what are you doing outside, while your own son’s celebration is going on inside?”, Nenaias walked towards his trusty old friend and put his hand on his shoulder. “You seem worried, is everything okay?”. “You know, when I earned the title as a king, it was very difficult to gain the trust of the dragons. I had to prove to my people, that they are not wanting to hurt them, and I had to also prove to the dragons, that they could trust us, trust me.”. Edric took a sharp breath. “I am very happy, that Reagan has received the blessing of them, you know? But at the same time, I cannot help but wonder, was it the right thing to do? Was it okay to let my son receive this blessing?”. “Why would it not be okay, Edric? Your son is special, it has never happened before, that the blessing of the protectors of our kingdoms has given our child a unique feature. Reagan will become a great leader one day; I am sure of that”. He had a grin on his face, as he said that.” I remember, when Aranor was born, you also worried about the safety of her and thus you gave her your protectors charms. Sometimes it is better to let things go their natural way”. He said wisely. “Nenaias, sometimes I feel like your nonchalant behaviour will get your country in danger, and here I thought the Elven clan would be more careful than I am”, he said with a chuckle. Both of the men started laughing and slowly headed back into the grand hall.
As the time passed the grand celebration neared its end. As a grand ending Edric had arranged the dragons to come together on the castle, as the visitors were about to leave the dragons started to spit fire above them, they lit up the sky like millions of little fireworks, as a grand ending for a new future.
The people were in awe over the grand ending, and thus the day came to an end.
