《The Dragon’s Kin》The new adve-, new destination
Advertisement
It's spring and I already turned 4. The flowers are blooming, creatures are running outside and the usual liveliness is starting to come back to the island. Each creature is doing its own thing.
As for me, I was walking towards the gate when mother stopped me. I wanted to bug the light blue dragon Marin a bit, but my plans changed.
That reason was "A festival?" I asked while tilting my head.
"Yes, it's the First victory festival held in the capital of Fleania Empire" Mother replied.
It's a national holiday celebrating the first victory in great war. The tradition itself is several hundred years old, being mentioned in several history books found in libraries of the main continent. Not that I have visited one. Not even secretly...
"But didn't you forbid me from leaving the island?" I asked. While I did said that, I really wanted to go. This was my opportunity to stash some new sweets. I know..I am well aware of my problem!
"Well, since you will be coming with me, it shouldn't be a problem" she explained. This was the first time she asked me to accompany her outside of island.
"Then I will join in!"
A wild grandpa suddenly appeared and interrupted our conversation.
"No!" we spoke in unison. It was perfectly timed response, befitting united thoughts of mother and daughter. Nothing good would come from it.
"Don't you remember 84 years ago!?" mother looked at him and continued with an unexpected statement "You got so drunk, that you transformed back into a dragon and destroyed several buildings!"
"Mother was furious!" she rebuked him while her expresion indicated, that she was remembering the said scene.
I had no idea about this kind of granpa's history.
You should've told me more about it mother...

Wait, if I don't control my curiousity, I might turn into a evil dragon. At least, that was what mother told me long time ago.
The worst thing is, that I have no idea if it's true of not!
"But that wasn't my fault!" grandpa interrupted my thought crisis with an objection.
He really wanted to go out with his daughter and granddaughter. Not that I blame him.
"Should I call mother?" mother asked with a icy tone. Because grandma was a powerful weapon against him, we agreed to mention her only when necessary. Were the events from 84 years ago that bad? I still need to as her.
"Okay, I'm staying here" while saying that, he turned around and started walking towards the training area. I know your fear of grandma's wrath is big, but I had no idea that it's to this extent...
Turning her attention back to me, mother spoke "Since you are already 4 and your human form did mature enough, I thought that it can be great experience"
My human form did mature a bit ever since I could use it, but it still resembles a 10 year old girl. It's features started to resemble mother while it still keeping my innocence of a child.
Not that I had the power of ordinary human child. I am still weaker compared to my dragon form, but that form have it's own advantages.
"Okay, I will go" I nodded.
I may have felt some uneasiness while looking at the reflection of my human form before, but now the girl in my memories is no longer clearly seen. I think I'm slowly overcoming it!
"Great! I will go and prepare the gear for us" with her usual smile, she started walking towards the mansion. I wonder if she's planing something.
"And don't forget to ask grandpa for some coins!" a faint shout reached my ears.
"..." she wanted me to ask for currency, from person that we shot down. This is going to be hard thing to do.
The new adventure, ehm...new destination has just been decided.

The Worldforge: Warlock Rising
Abandoned as an orphan, Mar was tested for magic by the Mages of Orelm and was found to possess immense magical potential, but when he grew old enough to start his training he found he was unable to cast so much as a single spell! Embarrassed by their mistake, the mages threw him in the library where he read books and tutored the mage students for a bit of money. All the while, he can’t help but envy the the students who are living the life he had so eagerly awaited. But when an object of great and malevolent power promises to make good on all the promises the mages broke to him Mar is thrust into the world of magic. Mar will find that fate had something more than a life confined to the library planned for him after all. Authors Notes: I consider this to be a comming-of-age Sword and Sorcery story based mostly on the style of classic western fantasies. So if that's your thing then I encourage you to take a peek. Something I want to mention though is that the main character starts of pretty wimpy, and that might not be your thing. That being said, if you stick with him he's got a long way to grow. Also, while this version of the story is meant to be fully readable, more dicerning readers may want to wait until I move out of rough draft phase. There may be some inconsistancies with character and plot while I am still in the rough draft phase. I'm sorry for this, but this is my first web novel and from what I've read the best way to get a good novel out is to write write write, and then edit ruthlessly after you're finished with the book, so that's the plan I'm going to follow. Again, this is a rough draft. Everything you are reading is subject to change, including the name, title, and cover photo. This may no longer be the case once I've decided I know where this fiction is going and I have a reasonable understanding of the characters and their behavior. You're reading what comes off my keyboard as it's made, with very limited editing. There will be mistakes in the text. I do a quick spell check to take out the worst of the errors, but there will be some I miss. You can point them out in the comments if they are particularly confusing or glaring and I will try to fix them, however I am not overly concerned about minor errors as this is not the final draft by any means.
