AC: I'm sorry if it took a long time, but I wasn't sure how to do the first chapter. The Arc 1 is a short one but I wish some information will awake your curiosity. I wish I won't take that much time for the next chapter.
Arc 1: Youngling dragon
Chapter 1: Dragon first words
When the next day comes, Yashan takes the baby dragon, which was awake from the bed and puts him on his shoulder. The baby dragon did the same like yesterday and Yashan decides to walk outside of Hyrule, after shopping for some food and object, in case someone else wants the baby dragon and decide to move to his house.
"Well my little friend..."Says Yashan scratching the baby dragon's head. "I'll take you to my home. It's far away south, between Lac Hylia and the Kokiri forest. No one knows where it is except me." Adds Yashan whispering to the baby dragon. "And soon you. It's my sanctuary and you'll be safe here."
The baby dragon then tries to say something, but it was only gibberish and non-understandable.
"Maybe you are not ready to talk right now." Says Yashan with a smile.
The baby dragon whines a little. He wants to talk to him, but all he can do is still incomprehensible.
"Don't worry, I'll teach you." Says Yashan. Even if they can't communicate with words, they can still talk with sound and their emotion.
The baby dragon then smile at him. He was suddenly begun to be sleepy. He decides to close his eyes and take a nap.
"Sleep well." Says Yashan kissing his head.
After an hour, the baby dragon wakes up and Yashan decide to eat something before continuing traveling to their destination. Yashan then keeps walking during the rest of the day until the night come. He then prepares a camp for the night and the baby dragon sleep by his side during the night. It was a warm night and Yashan sleeps lightly in case something bad happens. Nothing during the night trouble their sleep and they keep walking during the day. They were now close to their destination and nothing can be heard for a while. Yashan then hears something walking closer.
Yashan turns around and see the 3 dark knights of the bar.
"We've finally catch you. You sure are difficult to pursuit." Comments one of the knights.
"We've done playing with you, now hand over the baby dragon or you'll lose your life!" Says the second one.
"...I've throw you out of the window last night." Says Yashan.
"It is the day and there's no shadow that can be used to your average." Says the third one.
"Hang on." Warns Yashan to the baby dragon.
The 3 dark knights take out their sword and charge at him. Yashan dodges the first one and kick the second one at the last one. Yashan can fight for a few second only one of them. He takes his sword and blocks the attack. He then rolls to the left and counter with a slash. The knight blocks it when the 2 others return to the fight. The baby dragon sees them and pushes the back of Yashan head. Yashan understand his silent warning and jump to the side and have the 3 knights at his sight. He then charges at them and he dash on the ground and make one of the knight fall on the ground. He then block one of them while the last one was about to attack from behind. The baby dragon breathes fire at the enemy and burns his flesh inside the mask of the dark armor.
"Thanks for covering me." Says Yashan.
"You don't know what's going on." Says one of the 2 knights that can fight.
"Even if you escape us...This dragon will never safe until the end of the time...Has long as he's alive...We can have everything we want." Says the other one.
"The cardinals." Says the last one.
"Cardinals...That's...familiar..." Says Yashan.
The 4 cardinals is the source-... 4 continents...4...4 el-
Father?, The very old memories of Yashan suddenly cut out. When it comes to his father, he never wants to think about him. He ruins all his clan in that foolish war.
"Then you know why we must have the dragon." Says the knight.
"The opposite. He's my friend and I'll never let you have him. He wants to be with me!" Says Yashan.
"Then we'll kill you." Says the second knight.
Yashan ducks the attack. He wasn't willing to let them live now. He then attacks more aggressively. He then decapitates the enemy with one hit. He kicks the other one and finishes the one burn alive release him from the pain.
"W-Who can you be so powerful?" Says the last knight.
"I'm getting..." Then Yashan voice suddenly become more dark and scary: "Tire of this fight." Then his voice returns normal. "So I'll finish this quick."
He then charges again and break the sword of the knight. He then finishes him by piercing his heart.
"I will protect this dragon...No one will hurt him." Says Yashan at the agonising knight. Then the knight dies.
"Are you alright?" Asks Yashan.
The baby dragon trembles of fear a little.
"Sorry about my scary voice...I have nothing to do with you." Says Yashan.
He then scratches the neck of the baby dragon and the baby calms down. The baby dragon knows he won't hurt him. He knows he'll protect him.
"Let's keep going! We'll be there soon." Says Yashan.
They walk for the rest of the day and they finally arrive at the rock section between Lac Hylia and the Kokiri forest.
"We are soon here...There's a little passage...there." Yashan clicks a little button and the door slowly opens. He then enters in the passage and he walk for an hour in a cave until he gets out to a plain.
"This small house here is my home." Says Yashan. "I live in this plain because I...Prefer living in solitude. When it becomes too hard, I take job for rubies and I go to the bar and talk to the owner."
The baby dragon just puffs with pleasure.
"You can explore it while I prepare food." Says Yashan.
The baby dragon explores the surrounding and discovers a small lac south of the small house. He runs there and drinks the water. When he watches the green plain, it is surrounded by rocks that stop anyone to come there. He then sees blue flowers and run close to smell it and it was marvelous for the baby dragon. His stomach begins to make a sound and he enters inside the house and he climbs on the table. Yashan laugh gently and he puts food for the baby dragon and he eats it slowly and taste it. Yashan looks at it and wonder why he eats more slowly. He guesses he isn't desperate to find food anymore. When his stomach was full the baby dragon burps the air in his stomach and a long trail of fire goes out of his mouth.
"It's time for a little practice." Says Yashan. "I know you want to talk so I'll help you."
Yashan tries helping the baby dragon talking by showing him slowly and surely how to spell each words.
The baby dragon tries to repeats the word but it wasn't a success. After few hours, they both go to sleep.
"You can continue training little one...You have all the time." Says Yashan.
After one weeks of training, the baby dragon seems depress by his constant failure to talk. He begins to think he'll never be able to say any word. He wanted to simplified communication with Yashan even if they understand each other's well without word. He was frustrated, but he likes being so much by the side of his friend so he keeps it inside of him. Yahsan on the other hands sees his progress, even if he cannot talk, he progress faster than most being that exist on Hyrule. He also sees him growing up and become bigger and especially longer over the time. In one week, he was twice longer than the first time he sees him. He knows that one day...He'll have to sleep outside...When that time comes...That will be for later.
"Can you spell my name?" Asks Yashan. "Try and say it: Yashan. Ya...Shan."
The baby dragon tries saying the word but he fails.
"You progress a lot little one. Try again." Says Yashan.
The baby dragon thinks he's just encouraging him.
After 2 hours, something finally happen.
"You almost got it." Says Yashan. The baby dragon didn't believe him.
"Y...Y-a...Y...Ya...shan." Finally says the baby dragon.
"...Repeat again." Says Yashan with a smile.
"Yashan...Yashan...Yashan Yashan Yashan Yashan Yashan Yashan." The baby dragon continues that way for a while.
"You did it!" Says Yashan.
"Yashan...I...I lo...ve...you." He says to Yashan.
Yashan, touched by those words, takes the baby dragon. He then hugs him with love and the baby dragon licks his cheek. After one minute, Yashan prepares the diner for the 2 of them and the baby dragon keeps saying his name. He then tries saying other words for a while.
"You can rest a little if you want." Says Yashan.
"Yashan." Says the baby dragon.
"I know...I tell you that you can do it." He adds with a smile.
They eat the food and the rest of the day was pure happiness for both of them. The baby dragon begins to talk with happiness. Yashan was happy that the baby dragon enters in his life. He has now less time to mourn about the past and concentrate more on the future of the baby dragon. He doesn't know what he'll become in the future...But he'll make sure he shall be a wonderful dragon.
