Dragon Child: The Journey Begins

Chapter 6

Hmm. What should I do now?  It seems obvious to me that my mother is missing.  Something or someone came here and fought.  If I had to guess, my mother was a member of the fighting team.  After the fight, the participators went away somewhere.

If that's the case, is this an abduction?  My mind seems to remember a certain Sky Blue dragon a couple of years ago wanting to take my mother somewhere.  I suppose that's my first clue to go on. 

However, I'm not even sure where Mr. Sky Blue came from.  What was his real name again? Skyrod? No, that doesn't seem quite right.  Hmm, Skyman?  No, why would a dragon be named man?  That's just crazy.  No, it was closer to Skyla? Ah, that sounds more like a girl's name.  But who am I to judge?  However, I'm pretty sure I'm getting a bit off track here. Skyra? Skylee? Skyros?  No, wait!  I remember now!  Its Skylos! 

That's right, he was Skylos from someplace.  Er, what place again?  Argh, this is so hard to remember the name and origin of some random dragon that tried to eat me two years ago! 

Let's see, he was a wind attribute dragon named Skylos of , of......of WHAT?  Why cant I remember?  Skylos, Skylos, wind attribute....hmmm.  I seem to recall there was a bit of a connection between his name and his attribute as well as where he came from.

I've almost got it!  I know I can remember!  AH!  I remember!  Skylos!  A Dragon Guardian of the Sky Clan!  Hmph!  And you thought I couldn't remember!

Now the real question is, where on earth does the Sky Clan live?  That Skylos guy probably knows what happened to my  mom.  My gut is telling me so.  Unfortunately, my gut is also saying its probably somewhere in the Dragon Kingdom.  I'm pretty sure humans are eaten on sight.

However, I will not surrender my mother to vile dragons who come to my home to kidnap her!  I will leave on a journey to rescue my mother!

After I rooted myself on, I proceeded to gather necessary supplies for a long journey. 

. . . . . . . . .

Well, I don't really have anything to bring with me.  Shiny gems are fun to look at, but pretty impractical if you wanna bring them on a journey.  Besides, I have a trick I can use to teleport back here at any given time.

What's the trick, you ask?  Wouldn't you like to know!  Well, I cant just be blurting out all my secrets to a stranger, can I?  I don't even know who I'm talking to!

Ahem.  I braced myself, and teleported out of the den.  Well the only hole in the pile of debris I used to call the entrance to the den was too small for me to squeeze out of.

I walked carefully around the mashed up front yard of my home and stopped right before the forest.  Hmm, it occurs to me that perhaps I should figure out which way to go first. 

I looked at the sun.  My luck was that it was on its way up.  That means, that direction is east, which is the direction of the Dragon Kingdom.  That place should be my first goal, I think.

I have a feeling this is gonna be a very long walk.  Ah well, each journey begins with a single step!  I must march onwards! 

I lifted my foot and took my first step away from home.  Somehow, I feel that I should really be hoping my mother was truly kidnapped and not just my imagination.  I would get into so much trouble if she came back and found me gone!

But, well, I have a legitimate excuse!  I was truly worried for her sake!  Yes!  Its not like I wanted to escape my confines or anything!  My goal was just.  I had no ulterior motives at all!  Truly!

Ah, what's with those condescending eyes!?  Don't you believe me?  Fine, I'll admit that I have a teeny weeny itsy bitsy little bit of an adventurous heart.  But!  Have you ever been grounded for two whole years?!
