Chapter 1: Fateful Encounter

The harsh sound of leaves being crushed became louder as a small child angrily stomped his way through the dim forest.

"Stupid Metalicana, shitty father", the small boy murmured in a mantra.

Lost in thought, the small boy had wandered too far from the Dragon's cave and found himself in a huge clearing. The boy raised his head to look at the clear night sky. He shivered as a cold breeze went through him.

"….I'm not lost. I'm just getting away from the old man, only idiots get lost", thought the child as he blankly looked around his surroundings. The quiet atmosphere calmed the child down as he plopped down on the boy thought back to the afternoon and groaned at the memory.

Today was the day Metalicana was finally going to teach him the Iron Dragon Roar. He witnessed the power of the roar firsthand when Metalicana had protected him from an enemy. He was so eager to make his old man proud. But despite training for the whole day, he could only produce a small puff of smoke. Metalicana roared with laughter as the boy ran away in frustration.

The small boy felt his eyes water and furiously wiped his eyes. "Crying is for wimps. I'm the strong Iron Dragon-"

"Um-"

The boy suddenly stiffened as a mysterious voice captured his attention. Even with his enhanced hearing, he couldn't pinpoint where the voice came from. It was as if the voice was being carried by the wind.

His ears perked up as the soft buzzing noise faded in and out of hearing range. Assuming it to be a pesky bug, the boy swatted his hands around to knock it out.

"OW"

He whipped his head towards the voice and squinted to get a better look at the small ball of light. The boy's eyes widened as he curiously watched a small blue haired fairy glaring back while rubbing her head.
