CHAPTER EIGHT: Going Out

CHAPTER EIGHT: Going Out

-----

Waking up at the crack of dawn is normal for the four year old. His training sessions usually takes the whole afternoon or day, depending on his guardian's schedule. He didn't know if the gold dragon goes around meeting other dragons, but he didn't try asking him about it.

He was also a little thrilled about meeting other dragons aside from the two constant presences in his life. But he was only allowed to go out with the presence of the ancient dragon and could not go out by himself.

But now that he got his attribute, there's a chance he will be allowed to do so.

Turning his whole body to the side, he stared at the curled up body of his brother who looked peaceful and refreshed. There were two jars of cookies on the bedside table, one full while the other was empty.

He remembered his brother's whining about how he also felt his pain, and how annoying it is. He will apologize later. Right now, he needed to do one important thing.

A name for himself.

He really should think of a name. He didn't know if he can call himself 'cale' anymore, not when there is a high possibility that there's still a 'Cale' in this world. So, his best option is a new name that describes him now or a name that is the closest to his past name.

Maybe he can grant his brother a special service and ask for a name? Hell, does that ten day old dragon even knows enough words to think of a name? Well, maybe he does since dragons are usually smart at birth.

"Eugh."

He whipped his head to looked at his groaning brother, it was so fast it sounded like some bones broke. "Kim Rok Soo?"

• What

"You can't speak? Does it still hurts? I don't feel pain anymore!"

• Obviously no, but I'm more tired than usual. What are you doing?

"Nothing, You're not even going to open your eyes?"

• No.

He snickered at his brother. He's a dragon, but damn he must've carried all the laziness in the world for him to not even bother opening his eyes. His brother is so unique, as expected of another dragon!

• Anyway, I'm Kim Rok Soo.

"I still don't know what the hell should I name myself, thank you very much."

• Why not just Cale? Or something close?

"I don't know, Cale sounds basic to me!"

• Ho, you already have names in mind?

"Yeah, just need some advice. I want a new identity, but I... Well, refused? To forget my past life. I still needed to smack the back of the head of the white star, y'know?

• No, I don't know. List out all the names, I'll say which is the best.

"Really!?"

• Hush! I'm resting my whole body and soul here. Be glad I'm wasting my energy into thinking about it.

"Hmm, Well first, Cale. Then Caleb, Kyle, Ciel, Sienna, Kayle, Sorrel. Which one?"

• Hmm, Kyle out, that one's boring. It meant 'narrow'. Kayle is just 'merry.' Sienna and Sorrel are just 'red.' so basic! That leaves Caleb and Ciel. Say, what do you like more? Heavenly, or Brave and Faithful?

"What... What?? How the hell did you know about all those? Was it written in books? I've read almost all of the books here and it's all spellbooks!"
