Alright all. No flames. This is my first real fanfic, okay? And it does get better.
Breath of Fire: Final Flame of The Dragon
Chapter One: The Birth of The Chosen
The woman lay in the bed exhausted from the labor of having a child. She closed her eyes. She knew she would not make it past the morning but just knowing that her little blue-haired angel had come with no defects at all. Her breathing slowed as well as her pulse. She knew what the mid-wife had told her sister. But she was happy to even have this child.
"Mariaha, don't go yet. You want to see your beautiful boy….and possibly name him?" Her sister said and smiled heavily.tears running dwon her already steaked face. She nodded her head and her sister left to get the newborn baby. Upon arrival she found her sister had gone on to the next world. She wanted to cry out to her sister but instead she brought her baby boy close to the dead body. As she closed in, she couldn't stop the tears that were already there. She managed to pause when the child reached up and smiled at her.
"Oh you poor little one. You don't even have a nnnaaaammeee." The tears were pouring without regret down her cheeks.
"She's gone then?" a man asked stepping inside the room. He looked exhausted and beat.
"Yes, he doesn't even have a name." She said.
"Then I guess Ryu will have to do. It is the name of his forefathers."
"I…gggguesss sooooo." Her cries could be heard throughout the small village.
Later on that everning, a fateful decision was made.
"He's a dragon alright. Just look at the eyes." Bo said.
"So green and determined. I am so sorry that I could never bear our offspring." Sara started to cry again but Bo held her close and smiled down at her.
"Well he's got no one to take him in...we could raise him." Bo suggested softly. He tussled the little baby's fine blue hair.
"Really, you think we could?" Sara questioned honestly with yearning in her voice.
"Why not? I mean it's going to different around the house but I think he'd be safe with us. Besides we can't very well let him be sent to an orphanage, can we? And live a life without any regret about it." Bo spoke to her calmly.
It was settled then Ryu was going to be their son. They raised the boy teaching him morals and how to use his physical strength. He grew up before their very eyes. He had been told at an early age that they were not his original parents but it never came up again. And although he called them aunt and uncle they meant much more to him.
