Chapter 21: Dragons

You walked around the dragon grounds with caution, carefully not stepping on tails, eggs, nests, or anything at all. You were afraid that you might offend them in any way.

Lukas watched you from a far with Skađi by his side. The two watched you like an eagle. Both beautiful eyes were on you, making sure that you don't do anything that would cost you trouble.

Skađi grunted a bit with a sense of approval. Lukas felt a bit at ease. He didn't want to jinx this moment. He didn't know much on divination like his sisters and mother, he couldn't predict the future like them. It didn't bother him since he learned that it was their role in the family to know that, and divination takes more emotional energy than physical or mentality.

I like this girl. He could hear his mother's words echoing at the back of his mind.

He didn't want to believe it either, but he never thought that you could be good for him. He wanted to think that he was too good for you, or you were too good for him. But a mind can't stay on the same thought forever. He started to realize that it was something he never thought he'd feel again after so many years. Maybe in a different form, but it was too familiar.

"Woah there big guy!" You laughed out of nowhere as a dragon tackled you on the ground playfully.

Lukas snapped out of his thoughts and watched you carefully. He didn't want this to go wrong.

"Easy boy!" Your hearty laughter gave off a sense of ease to the dragon that was currently on top of you and licking your face like a dog.

He was bigger than Skađi, and more playful. He, you learned that it was a he from observing the differences and asking some of the people, was handsome and beautiful. It reminded you of someone, but just a more playful version of him.

The dragon was marvelous. Gold talons and silver white scales. It was about thirty feet long, or longer. His eyes were ruby red with a small glint of amber against the sunlight. He was a marvelous creature.

He nuzzle his face against yours as you laughed with glee. The guy was too cute and too huge to handle.

Lukas watched you from a far with amazement. Years of practice, yet this was the first time someone he saw taming a dragon on the first week of their own training. Was it beacuse you are a natural or was it thanks to him? Still, he was amazed at what you can do within a small amount of time. Trouble and adventure, the only things you both did for the first two weeks. Everything was full of excitement.

Now it was the third week of the month, and everything has just been a rollercoaster ride. Everything started to click into place. Feelings, wants, needs, and etcetera. He felt elated, very elated for the first time in years.

23rd of December... His thoughts remembered the date today.

It was almost Christmas, and he was so far from home. He was never home for Christmas. He always knew that Berwald was there every year. He never came because of his older brother's differences with him.

He couldn't say if he hated him or not. He was still his brother after all.

He sighed at the thoughts. He has always wanted to go, but he didn't want to raise supicion. Berwald knew that he was on to revealing the mythical world, and he wasn't letting him anywhere near that. He didn't also want to raise suspicion about (Y/n). You were looking for an assignment to do and if they all found out, then it was time to clear your mind after everything you've been through.

"Okay, down boy!" Your gleeful words snapped him out once again.

The silver dragon sat down and let out a shark-like grin.

"So," you smiled, "what can you do, big boy?"

The silver dragon grunted and flew towards a fallen tree.

For a dragon who has been here for years with no human friend, he was well-tamed.

You watched him fly towards the log. A white ball started to appear in his mouth, like Skađi's ball, but brighter with a static appearance. He shot the ball out of his mouth and destroyed the log with a static feeling surrounding the air.

It stung a bit, but it was cool.

Lukas raised his eyebrows in surprised while you gaped your mouth open. You didn't intend to pick this one, but hell, this one was cool.

"Did he just shoot electricity out of his mouth?" You tilted your head sidewards with so much curiosity that it could've fell off.

You could feel the goosebumps on your neck rise. The small shock you felt made you feel more energetic and eager as ever. The excitement was just about to start.

The dragon went back to your side as you gape your mouth open at him. He seemed pleased on impressing you with his skill. You snorted a little.

"Well aren't you a show off." You said and scratched his neck.

The dragon whined and seemed to grunt playfully as he rolled his eyes.

"What should I call you then..." You wondered aloud. "I can't call you Thor since I already have a dog back in Amsterdam named Thor."

You began to think for a name. This was one of the world's biggest problems, choosing and picking a name.

"Uhhh, Zenith?" You suggested as the dragon looked at you weirdly.

"Something that's significant to you," you wondered and scratch his chin, "or something that's close to what you can do."

Pokémon was out of the question, obviously. But you didn't know what to name him. Electricity was his power and you couldn't think of a good name.

"How about Tempest, hm?" You said.

The dragon seemed to approve of it. A glint of happiness was in his ruby eyes. He tackled you down and started to slime you up with his saliva.

"Dude! Stop, I've only got ten shirts in this journey!" You laughed.

Lukas crossed his arms and sighed. He didn't know what to do with you at this moment. A carefree person who was enjoying the moment.

"Tempest is another fandom reference actually," you laughed nervously, "but I guess you already knew that from here. You pointed at your temple.

"Seemed pretty obvious enough," he said.

"Oh really?" Your eyes sparkled. "What did I name him after?"

"Easy, Tempest from the series Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan," he answered with a confident sound.

"Mind reader." You poked your tongue out at him playfully.

To be honest, he thought he wouldn't get it right this time. He knows how to sound confident even though he wasn't confident about it. It wasn't obvious that he couldn't read your mind anymore. It wasn't obvious yet. It's scaring him. Reading one's mind was always an advantahe for him. You were predictable in many ways, but the predictable can be unpredictable as well. He doesn't underestimate you. He knows that you're determined, and are willing to do anything for the things you loved to do and are dedicated to.

He's met some people like you, but as he read through your mind when you met the first time, he knows that you'll bring up trouble that would cause chaos to the whole world if he doesn't act now. He was already aware that you are of royal descent. He practically knows everything about you, but those were only material things. His gift doesn't read one's persona easily.

During his time with you, he learned a lot of things about you. The you that hasn't been opened up in a very long time. The extremely curious (Y/n) you are. Your curiosity can kill you, but it's a mind that's worth dying for. You'd uncover the secrets of the world, go through the impossible, and more. You were a dangerous human being. A very dangerous one.

It scares him that you were unaware of this mind of yours. That mind that could take over yours.

"Hey, Bondevik!" You called him over.

He saw you on the back of Tempest with a big smile.

"How do you ride a dragon?" You asked with the biggest smile on your face.

Lukas raised his eyebrows.

"Are you sure you're ready?" He placed his hands in the pockets of his jacket.

"I don't know." But you looked like that you were born to do this.

He scanned you head to toe. Trying to deduce what your next actions were. It was obvious that there was no stopping you from learning.

"Alright then, lets fly."

OH MY GOD I GOT TO UPDATE THIS, FINALLY. IT'S ONLY THE 15TH OF OCTOBER. THE LORD HAS BLESSED ME WITH INSPIRATION, BLESS!
