《Dragon's Journey Mythos》


 Prologue

    I, Div Zalien, live in a village alongside my fellow dragons. However through avatism I have inherited special abilities unlike other dragons. We, dragons had at one point mixed blood with another species, yet who they were has been lost in time. Due to this mixed blood the purity of the dragon species has slowly been declining bringing increasingly decreasing power. I am different since I have inherited the abilities of the pure-blooded ancestors, I, myself am a pure-blooded dragon. Due to this I have been isolated in the village. Everyone avoids me as if they could get cursed just from touching me. Although there are a few dragons who have been best friends with me since we were children and continue to hang around me despite the harsh discrimination. They are Kais and Estell.

    Recently, however I''ve started to wonder about the world outside the village. How big is it? How many people are there? How many species are there? What types of magic have people developed? What types of monsters exist? How does civilization outside of this village work?I think to myself. Lately I''vebeen thinking of leaving the village to see the world. It seems so exciting that I can get giddy just thinking of it. I chuckle to myself. Since I''ve been getting prepared to leave it seems like I''ll have to say bye to my friends but hopefully I will meet them again in the future as well as make more friends outside. Oh, but I don''t want too many. People like Kais are draining.

 Chapter 1: Leaving the Village

    "Div, come out!"


    I can hear Kais shout from outside my house waking me up from my slumber.


    "Ughhh, Kais just let me sleep for a few more hou... minutes," I groaned.


    "Div just get up! I''ll burn your house down if you don''t!" he bellows.


    Can''t you just wait. Well, whatever. I get changed and go outside to meet him. When I go outside I can see a fireball in his palm.


    "Kais... You weren''t serious about that right... right?"


    I ask with a nervous smile, cold sweat running down my back. No of course he wouldn''t... would he?


    "Don''t worry about that now that you''re out I don''t have to anymore," Kais proclaimed in a proud tone.


    Kais and I talked for a bit before heading to the village. I live a little distance away from the village to not feel the scorn that the rest put upon me. When we get to town we head up to meet with Estell. She has a small house where she has lived alone since her parents died. Estell''s purple hair and Kais¡¯s red hair are quite a bit more colorful than the silver hair that I have.


    "Hello you two," Estell speaks.This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    "Good morning Estell," I answer back.


    "Heya how you doing Estell!" Kais hollers.


    "Well apart from your screaming giving me a headache, fine," she responds tiredly.


    "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you something important before," I proclaim.


    "What is it," Estell asks inquisitively.


    "Well, I''m leaving the village," I answer indifferently.


    "d-did I hear you right... I could''ve sworn you just said you were leaving the village," Estell asks not understanding what I said.


    "No you did not, I want to see the world and that wont be done just by staying here where I can''t even go to the village without feeling the others stares of contempt,"


    "Well Div, have fun going out," Kais laughed.


    "Kais are you sure you understood him correctly. He just said he was leaving to see the world,"


    "I do know that but then won''t he have a better chance to have fun and be happy in a place different from here,"


    "I suppose that is true. Then Div when are you leaving?" Estell inquires.


    "Today."


    "W-Wait today isn''t that too soon," Estell asks frantically.


    "I''ve been preparing to leave today I just kept forgetting to tell you," I muttered.


    "In that case, see ya later Div!"


    I say my goodbyes and leave them. Going to an open area in the surrounding forest to transform into my dragon form from my humanoid form. I stand 40 feet long, 10 feet tall, shining, almost metallic black scales adorned my body. My eyes in a luminescent silver. Claws looking as if they were made of glistening silver. As I leave I think about all the things I will now be able to see freely, instead of reading about them in a book.


    "I wonder what I''ll see first!" I giddily murmured to myself.
