Jupiter's Rise

Prologue

The great Planetary Dragon Orion was looking over the land of Fiore admiring the beauty of the land below him from his vantage point. However he was interrupted from his day dreaming by an annoying sound of a child crying, Orion was angered by this fact and proceeded to fly over to the source of the sound. He spotted a small boy sitting down in a large clearing in the forest, landing down he let out a huge roar in hopes of scaring off the child so he could go back to his day dreaming. However he was shocked to see a pair of dark purple eyes looking up at him curiously.

"Woah, what are you?" he asked with wonder sparkling in his eyes.

Orion admitted to himself that he was intrigued by the boy.

" I am Orion, the Planetary Dragon, and who are you little boy?" he rumbled

"My name is Thorn." stated the boy proudly.

"Thorn you say? Do you not have a second name?" Questioned the glorious Dragon.

The boy looked down at the floor mumbling quietly that even the dragon with its heightened senses couldn't hear what the boy had said.

"Boy do not mumble, be proud of who you are and stand tall, I can sense great potential within you." exclaimed the Dragon.

The boy looked up shocked but his expression quickly changed to a proud one.

"I don't have any parents, I am an orphan so I don't have a second name." stated the small olive haired boy.

The Dragon was surprised by this fact but quickly thought of something.

"Say Boy" he said catching the attention of said person " Do you want me to teach you magic, As I stated before I can see a large amount of potential within you that I believe can become something great if it is developed properly."

The boy looked up at him with shock plastered on his face.

"What magic would you teach me?" inquired the boy

The dragon chuckled softly.

"My boy I will teach you one of the strongest magics in the whole of Earthland, Dragon Slaying Magic." stated the Dragon puffing out his chest as he did so.

"Wow that sounds so~ cool! When can you start teaching me?" queried the boy

"We can start right away, here climb up on my back" offered the dragon while getting low enough for the boy to be able to climb up.

When the boy was set the Dragon crouched down and readied himself to launch up in the air with one thought in his mind.

I have big hopes for you young Thorn.
