Arc 1: Youngling dragon
Prologue: The baby dragon
Yashan was a young mercenary who was walking on Hyrule field for a day. He was 15 years old, a very young mercenary, but a powerful one. He has brown hair and gray skin. He wears a black tunic and brown boots. He wears a shorts and sharp sword on his back with a black blade. He also has a necklace with the medallion of his clan: shadow clan. No one in Hyrule knows about the shadow clan, protector of Hyrule in secrecy. Though his ancestor fail to do that when Ganondorf who seal them in their village until Link seal him away. He travels around Hyrule in search of a job. He didn't really receive any because Hyrule was in peace since the evil Ganondorf has been defeat. The night was coming and he decides to camp outside since it's a good night. He lights a camp fire and begin to bake some food he caught during the day. The flame releases a delicious odor which attracts something. It was ramping around the camp and when he gets out and move close enough, Yashan sees a dragon, a baby one. This dragon is a serpentine creature armored in red scales. He boasts two forelimbs equipped with claws and his cranium is covered, presumably, by a helmet-like exoskeleton. Also, a fiery mane streaming from his neck which shows he can hurt someone with his neck. But the mane weren't streaming strongly and was still harmless. When Yashan looks closer, he looks like a baby dragon alone without a parent to guide, protect, teach and help him. He's small and cute at the same time. His eyes show that he's hungry and want to eat something. Yashan observe him for a while before taking the food and was about to eat when he caught the eyes of the baby dragon. Yashan tries to resist the sad eyes of this dragon, but he gives up.
"Are you hungry?" Asks Yashan to the baby dragon.
He presents the meat closer to the baby dragon. The baby smells the food for a few second before suddenly taking all the meat and takes it somewhere else.
"Hey! Come back here you little rascal!" Shout Yashan to the baby dragon.
He then runs after the baby dragon who finds a spot to eat with voracity. He was apparently so hungry he takes big bite and swallow it when he can. Yashan moves closer and the baby turn his face at his direction...and breathe fire at Yashan face. Yashan manage to dodge it at the last second while the baby dragon finishes eating the meat.
"You little bastard." Says Yashan.
The baby dragon just looks at him with innocent eyes, his belly a little bigger than before. His eyes show satisfaction, because of his full stomach. When he throws fire, he was only burping the gas in his stomach. Yashan decides to return to the camp and cook another meat, he hears a sound and he sees the baby coming closer to the camp, but he stays a little away from the camp. When Yashan looks at him, he was wondering what this baby dragon wants from him. When the meat was ready, Yashan eats it while watching in case the baby tries to steal him again but didn't. Yashan realize why he was staying closer, he doesn't see him as a threat and also...he can obtain food...and thinks he can easily stole some.
"*Sigh* Will you stay there or come closer?" Asks Yashan.
He decides he prefers knowing the baby dragon was closer to him than far away and waiting to do something. He wasn't sure if he understands him.
The baby looks at him for a while before carefully moving closer to him. It seems that he understand Yashan words. He then moves close to the flame of the camp and lay down. He slowly closes his eyes and let the flame warm him, though he can breathe flame and the flame in his body should warm him.
"Sleep well." Says Yashan to the baby dragon. He then lay under his sheet.
The night passes quietly until the sun came back. Yashan wakes up and looks at the spot where the baby dragon was sleeping. He wasn't there anymore. He looks around wondering where he might be when he feels something moving close to him. He looks under the sheet and see the baby dragon that was awakening.
"When did you get there?" Asks Yashan not expecting any answer.
The baby dragon opens his big mouth and yawn strongly from a good night sleep and looks at him innocently. Yashan gives him a gentle smile and decides preparing a breakfast for the 2 of them. The baby moves next to him, now trusting Yashan. Yashan move gently his hands on the baby dragon neck and scratch it for a few second. The baby dragon likes it and smile at him. He then whines a little when Yashan stop scratching his head.
"It's time I'll go. It was good meeting you." Says Yashan. He packs up his stuck and was about to walk to the town when the baby dragon whine stronger.
Yashan turns around and looks at the baby dragon. He was moving closer to him and stays close to his legs.
"What do you want?" Asks Yashan.
The baby dragon stays close to his feet at looks at him with puppy eyes. Yashan understood what he means.
"You want to come with me?" Asks Yashan.
The baby dragon smiles at him and puff happily. Yashan then takes him on his arms and put him on his shoulder. The dragon place himself comfortable, his head and neck on Yashan right shoulder and the rest on Yashan left shoulder.
"Let's go!" Says Yashan which the baby dragon happily puffs.
During half of the day, they move during the day until they reach the town of Hyrule castle. When he passes the gate, he sees that lots of citizens watch Yashan and the baby dragon around his neck. He walks at the bar and enters. Lots of people were talking in the bar and when they see them they stop talking and observe them. Then the owner of the bar sees them and she smile.
"Welcome back Yashan, glad you here! I needed a moment of silence." Says the owner.
"You're welcome...Hylians still aren't use to my presence." Comment Yashan.
"No one in Hyrule knows what you really are." Says the owner.
"I love leaving mystery. Without mystery...life is less interesting." Says Yashan friendly.
As their conversation continue, the other people in the bar calms down and talks more normally and openly when they see Yashan isn't a trouble maker.
"So...What's on your shoulder?" Asks the owner.
"Well miss...It's a little...dragon I think and a baby too. He likes me so I've take him with me. He's a nice little fella...But I don't know what he'll do if we piss him off." Says Yashan. "I've found him yesterday on the plain and he was hungry when I first meet him." He then begins to scratch the neck again and the baby dragon purr with pleasure.
"He's cute." Comment the owner. "What do you want?"
"I want a beer please." Asks Yashan.
The door of the bar opens and 3 new persons enter in the bar. They were about to sit on their usual table when one of them sees the baby dragon around Yashan neck. They begin to whisper among themselves before one of them move closer to Yashan.
"Excuse me mister. May I talk to you?" Asks the person.
Yashan turns around and see a man completely covered of armor. The armor is completely black with dark helmet covering the face of the knight.
"Of course! What do you want?" Asks openly Yashan.
"We want to know where you find that little dragon." Asks the knight.
"I find him in the plain of Hyrule. He was alone so I decide to take him with me." Explains briefly Yashan.
"How much do you want for this dragon?" Asks the knight.
"W-what?" Says Yashan consternate.
"How about 2000 rupees for the dragon?" Proposes the knight.
"...He's not an object to sell." Objects Yashan.
This begins to attract the attention of greedy hylians in the bar.
"Then maybe 5000 rupees for the dragon." Proposes the knight.
The baby dragon observes the conversation and knows that Yashan begins to be angry at the situation. He didn't understand the rupees system, but he understands that the black armor guy wants him. If he could talk he would say he wants to be with Yashan.
"Sorry, but I don't want rupees from you. He isn't something to buy so stop trying." Yashan takes out 10 rupees and pay the owner of the bar and get out of the bar. "Oh! Before I go, those who want to attack me...you better forget trying to attack me...it's the night after all." Warns Yashan.
Yashan gets out of the bar and go inside the inn and buy a chamber. Since he feels some danger he decides to stay in the inn for the rest of the day...with the dragon close to him. The rest of the day was smoothly and the night comes and Yashan go to sleep with the baby dragon sleeping in the bed with him.
In the middle of the night, 3 shadows try to enter in the room of Yashan and try to walk silently when Yashan opens his eyes. He takes his sword and points it at the 3 intruders.
"Get out of my room now!" Order Yashan.
"Give us the dragon and we'll spare you." Says one of the 3 shadows.
"You have no chance against me. I'm a great nocturne warrior." Says Yashan with a smile.
"We will see about that." Says one of the warriors.
The 3 takes out their sword and were ready to fight.
One of them attacks and Yashan dodges it without problems. He punches the enemy and throws him at the window. Yashan then disappear out of the warrior sigh and knock them out and also throw them out of the window.
"Good-night." Says Yashan.
The baby dragon watches all the short battle and is impressing by the strength of Yashan. It makes him feel safe with him and that nothing will hurt him. Yashan returns to the bed.
"Sorry I wake you." Says Yashan to the baby dragon while scratching gently his neck.
The baby closes his eyes and fall asleep.
