CHAPTER THREE: Hatching

CHAPTER THREE : Training

-----

Two dominating voices resonated in the golden lair of a golden dragon.

"What do you mean abnormal! I'm a perfectly normal, cute, and adorable dragon!" The red dragon huffed as if he heard something misleading. So what if he regressed, reincarnated and still has his memories as a human and now he's reincarnated as a baby red dragon? So what!? He's still normal. Isn't this how dragons are? Majestic and unique?

The ancient dragon just scoffed at him. They had been talking about the red dragon(s?) after being shown about the slumbering dragon inside the cracked egg. "What an ostentatious dragon. I just said you're bigger than normal."

"It's the same thing."

"It is not, you menace looking dragon."

"I am not a menace, I am majestic!"

Cale seriously doesn't know what's wrong with this old man. Doesn't he know that dragons are majestic, beautiful and powerful upon birth? Cale may or may not have only read about dragons but now that he's a dragon himself, he can confirm it himself. He didn't need those spell books anymore, the redhaired mage with Choi Han named Rosalyn has already showm him too much.

Granted, he never talked to her directly nor was he taught about it because he was just a mere human in a hundred soldiers. But Cale has always been observant, if he tried hard enough and follow what Choi Han did maybe he could be a swordmaster too.

But now he's contented as being the mighty creature that he is.

"Since you will stay here, I might as well teach you. We will wait for your twin to wake up, according to the liquidified mana around him, it would be four years from now."

...Or not?

He flew towards the golden dragon who smirked seeing him interested.

"Four years? My dongsaeng would be born in four years? Oh! Oh! Golden Dragon, Do you know how to handle a sword?"

"I am a swordmaster."

"Awesome! You're very awesome! As expected of another dragon, teach me that!"

Eruhaben laughed at his words. 'As expected of another dragon', really? He was few hours old. "Hmm! Goldie, But what about my black egg sibling? I sensed nothing inside the egg despite it not being cracked or anything."

Ah. That. Eruhaben was enlightened about the conditions of the red dragon's 'family'. A red egg, which is him and his twin, then a black egg. All were in a cave for who knows how long? Dragons take different years to hatch. But Eruhaben knows it should've been so long because if the parent was here, oh a mountain would already be vanished.

There was a 'dragon heart eater' according to the hatchling, which is very disturbing and kind of disgusting. Maybe the myths about dragon slayers are true after all.

But the problem here is the whereabouts of the black egg. When they got there, it was already gone. Eruhaben could feel the traces of mana that the culprit had left behind, and asked the baby dragon if he can feel it too. His answer was arrogant, 'Yes, of course I can. I am a powerful dragon, Although the smell is so... ew.' ...And also a little judgemental.

He wondered what the hell the abnormal dragon was smelling, as he could not smell it. But Eruhaben realized one thing about it.

'He has the potential to become the dragon lord.'

He is almost a thousand years old dragon, and this is the first time that he had encountered a dragon as overpowered as these- not one, but two, If you count the slumbering draconian embryo inside the egg.
