Chapter 3

I awoke to the sound of water being poured into something , I looked to my left and saw my mother with a basin of water washing herself carefully before putting on a simple white one-piece dress.

Mother-‘’now son you need to get up wash yourself and get ready for the temple visit today as it will govern what you wish to do with your life from now on ‘’ she said to me as she emptied the basin and refilled it with clean water for my usage.

Xarjurn-‘’ yes mother’’ I got up and carefully cleaned myself and pulled on the neatest black tunic that I had as well as a pair of red trousers and black boots.

I moved outside the house where my mother was waiting for me. She began to lead me into the town where the temple to the dragon god was located. The eleven city were generally made of trees that wrapped around each other to form buildings most of the buildings in the city were like this except the temple as I was carved from the bones of a dragon that once helped defend the original elves like my mother. Apparently the dragon died after the battle between the elves and ancient human kingdom that no longer existed in this age. The temple itself was entered through the skull of the dragon and the main building was inside what would have been its chest cavity, inside was massive as the hall could hold nearly 2000 people with some room to spare.

The room was arranged rather simply with a large number of pews starting from the back until a few feet from a statue of a large white dragon curled around a large golden egg. In the room was 40 or so different families of elves from blood elves to high elves but me and my mother seemed to be the only royal elves here. We walked up the pews near the statue and sat down waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Soon a high elf wearing robes that had some black and blue scales sown into it arrived and introduced himself as the high priest of the dragon god, he explained that the statue behind him was connected to the dragon god himself and that he would bless each and every young elf here but we would all get a blessing that would affect us to much only ones that would increase our physical attributes by 1 or 2 percent things like that, he then moved on to explain that there used to be champions of the dragon god that would do his bidding and they usually had blessings that made them nearly five times superior to any other elves.

He then motioned for the first child to put his hand on the orb he did and a small portion of elven script appeared above his head saying he had increase magical affinity to nature. This went on until the 30th family’s child walked up to the orb she had pink hair that went down past her waist with the characteristic milk like skin of a blood elf her face was one of those that you could tell would turn into a unparalleled beauty when she was older, she placed her hand on the orb and what came up was not expected at all.

Dragon God’s champion of loyalty

You have been granted a small portion of the dragon gods power due to you devotion to him, your physical attributes and metal ones have been boosted by four and you will be able to be instructed in the ways of battle by the first born of the dragon god until the age of ten

The high priest then began to praise her as a herald of true piety and then gave her a small bangle made of dragon scales that was held in case a champion was found again, her parent were hugging her and laying praises on her while she sat there with a beaming smile on her face. The smile she had made my heart skip a beat as it was the most beautiful thing I had seen even the blood elf from yesterday paled in comparison to her smile.

The next few family went by like normal until it was my turn, as I walked up to the orb I could hear the parents of the other children talking about me and my mother, they mostly insulted her for being a lose woman without a husband and called me a bastard child, I personally ignored them and placed my hand on the orb. As soon as I placed it there was a flash of light that blinded everyone in the temple for a short time the light quickly subsided and behind the statue was a ten foot tall white dragon that was the same in every detail to the statue in front of me. The high priest then began to fall on his knees and praise the dragon. This made me realise that this was the dragon god himself and I went on my knees as well and I assumed that the rest of the people in the temple were doing the same.

Dragon god-‘’ don’t kneel to me my son’’ he said to me in a voice that carried a unmistakable power but also held the warmth of a father.

I looked up at him and motioned for me to stand and I did, he began to walk towards me as he changed into a humanoid form that could only be described as regal. He was soon in front of me and he laced his hands on my shoulders and looked me straight on the eyes with a smile on his face.

Dragon god-‘’ now I know what you are thinking but let me tell you I am indeed your father so yes you are half dragon and your physical capabilities will always be comparable with divinity due to the fact that you are my offspring, magical as well, the blessings I give to you are two fold first you will be able to form any type of crystal you want as long as you have the mana to create them secondly you will inherit my old armour and weapons of my human form when you reach 15 years of age also you will also be taught under my first born who shares your name until 10 years of age. although I know what your kind are like with their aspects so I am declaring that this shall be the aspect of the dragon and only those who have bested either a forest lord or have become a champion of mine may follow it’’

He then pulled me into his arms and said into me ear he was longing to meet me but could not until now. He then diapered as fast as he appeared. The high priest came up to me began to kneel at my feet and sing praises to me and my mother for being the lover and child of the dragon god. I personally didn’t like this and asked him to stop and luckily he did and then said we had to pick our aspect except for me and the pink haired girl. Soon every one had picked their aspects and were to be brought to the brander who would brand the upper arm of the children with the mark of their aspect. The high priest told the brander of what had happened and that a new aspect mark was needed he got straight to work as his two apprentices began to mark the rest of the children with their marks, after a few hours the new mark was ready to be made it was a outline of a elf with dragon wings and a tail breathing fire while holding a spear in one hand. It took half an hour just to get the pink haired girls mark finished before it came to mine, many times I had tried to talk to her but I always stopped myself from speaking to her as I feared she wouldn’t like me.

As my mark was burned onto my skin I vowed to myself that I would make this girl my bride even if it took my entire life.
