School Of Dragons [Hiatus]

Sandr and Dread (Meeting)

In a continent filled with nothing but sand, a village can be seen filled with villagers that are near an oasis. Every single villager has their respective jobs being either being farming, exploring, fishing, construction, or fighting dragons.

On a certain day a young lad 6 years old to be exact went out to explore at night in order to fill his curiosity and feel the cold breeze to calm him down, this lad, however, is the son of the chief who is super overprotective yet super supportive as well. This lad is wearing galabeya/Egyptian clothing or proper clothes for exploring the desert and if you look closely he has ruby red eyes and white hair, he is rather skinny yet he is super strong.

The lad started exploring then he heard a cry, a dragon's cry to be exact, at first he doesn't want to go near a dragon since they always attack them and take their live stocks but that's just if they don't kill anyone... Unless you count killing them by starvation then yeah...

The lad reluctantly searched for the dragon's cry and after a couple of minutes of searching, he finally found where the cry is coming from. He looked at the place where he thinks that he is hearing the cry from and it was a humongous cave, large enough to house a dragon or two, and again he is having second thoughts on whether he should follow the cry or not then he heard the cry again. He entered the cave sneakily while cursing himself for entering the cave.

He looked around until he saw a huge dragon which have the colors of the dessert making it camouflage but thanks to the stone-walled cave he can see it and has spikes all around also it reminded him of a certain dragon which used to attack them but as dark as the night sky, at first he didn't find anything wrong then the dragon roared at his presence which made him scared to the brink of fainting yet he held to his consciousness as tightly as possible.

The huge dragon tried to stand but then blood started spurting out of its stomach making it wince and roar in pain then a baby dragon with the same features as the large dragon appeared from the back and started licking the large dragon's wound, it was at this moment that the lad forgot his fear and went closer to the large dragon to try to stop the bleeding from the wound.

The large dragon tried to act tough in front of the lad but then it noticed that the lad has no weapons so it dropped its guard against the lad and lowered its head. The young lad took it as a way of saying that the dragon trusts him so he went and tried to stop the bleeding yet there was too much bleeding and he can't stop it, worry being visible in his face. The large dragon noticed this and licked the lad as if trying to say that it is ok which made the lad cry then the large dragon grabbed the small dragon and pushed it to the lad as if saying to the lad to take its young and raise it.

"Don't worry, I will raise him?" the lad said with a smile, trying to say that he was fine but on the inside, he was the cause a child just became an orphan and can no longer feel the warmth of a parent even though it was an inevitable outcome he still hastened the process.

The dragon curled up and smiled then lowered its head then all of its movements stopped signifying that it was dead while the small dragon mourned for its parent to wake up but nothing can be done once life had already been lost.

The lad went out of the cave with the small dragon in tow, his father can be seen shouting and searching for his son.

"Sandr!! Where are you?!!" Fear and worry laced in his voice.

The lad now known as Sandr started running towards his dad while holding the small dragon. Once he reached his dad he immediately tackles him and gives him a hug while crying, his dad soon noticed the small dragon in his son's arms but didn't dare to question it for only one thing can explain this, his son have seen a mother pass away and leaving her child.

Sandr kept his promise and at first, the baby dragon made it difficult for him to care for.

"Please... Just stay put and I will catch some food" Sandr begged at the baby dragon which most likely didn't get any of it, the small dragon hopped on his shoulders signifying that it wants to come with him so he complied and went fishing with it.

Many children of his age also avoided him since he is the first to tame a dragon which coupled with his status as the heir to the chief position, of course, nobody would even dare to oppose him.

Years went by and Sandr is now 13 along with his dragon which he named Dread since he felt dread whenever it decides to shoot a fireball and it is rather fitting.
