What's next?
My 18th Birthday Pt.1
I quickly notice that I haven't gotten dressed yet, im standing here naked holding a baby dragon...
I quickly put down the dragon and get dressed. As soon as my shirt is on I feel a weight hit by back as Izzy flies into it, her claws digging into my shirt to grip on, she was probably trying to land on my shoulder. I reach around and take her off my back, holding her to my chest as I leave my bedroom.
I see mom making breakfast in the small kitchen we have, her back facing towards me.
"Good Morning mom, breakfast smells amazing. The egg hatched!" I say with a smile.
"Good Morning baby. Congratulat..." She turns and pauses as soon as her eyes land on the creature in my arms. Her face pales.
"IS THAT A DRAGON!" she yells in shock, one hand grasping the wooden counter behind her.
"It is a baby dragon, her name is Isabelle but im calling her Izzy for short. Don't worry, she isn't dangerous." I say, a slight smile on my face.
Dragons in this world are very dangerous creatures, very powerful, so im sure its quite the shock that her son is now carrying one around like a little girl does to a doll.
I hear the front door open and see my sister coming in with a deer over her shoulders. She smiles at me then freezes as soon as she sees the dragon, the deer carcass falling to the floor.
"Don't worry Mila, the dragon is what hatched from my egg, her name is Isabelle, but im calling her Izzy for short." I say quickly. I walk over to her and Izzy jumps down from my arms and starts biting at the deer, she is probably fairly hungry after hatching.
Mila takes a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
"Wow... so my baby brother has a pet dragon now... huh..." Izzy hears the word pet and seems to get mad, glaring at Mila. "Sorry... not a pet I guess" she says with a chuckle. Izzy goes back to eating a part of the deer. Mila crouches down and takes off a leg of the deer, giving it to Izzy to eat before picking up the rest of it and moving it to a place to prepare the meat.
After Mila has finished she goes to change clothes into something not covered in deer blood, and comes back so we can eat breakfast together.
"Happy Birthday baby brother, your officially an adult now. How does it feel?" Mila asks me, a smirk on her face.
"To be honest it hasn't really hit me yet, I woke up to the sound of her egg cracking, and then I was distracted by me now having a dragon by my side. I feel stronger, but that's probably because of the connection I share with Izzy. Having a creature share my mana feels a little weird, but not in a bad way. Since her mana is the mana I have been putting into that egg for my whole life, its like she is a part of me, like she is linked to my Soul. I can feel her emotions and understand basic thoughts from her, which is how I knew what her name is." I say with a smile, looking over at the now sleeping dragon, laying next to the picked clean bone of the deer leg it had been eating.
"That's great and all, but I hope you haven't forgotten about the rest of your day, we have some celebrating to do after all." Mila says, a sultry look in her eyes for a second before being replaced with a normal smile. "Mom and me got you some presents, and not just what your expecting." she says with a wink.
We finish eating and Mila and Mom leave for a few moments, coming back with a couple boxes.
"The big one is from me and the longer one is from Mom." Mila says, putting them on the table in front of me. I grab the bigger one first and open it to see a set of armor seemingly made of Bear hide and small metal plates. Mila smiles as she sees that I like it. "I used the hide from the bear we hunted a few months ago, took it to a blacksmith in the town over and had them turn it into a decent set of armor." She says, a big smile on her face. I smile back and give her a tight hug, which she returns.
I move over the the longer box and open it, my mother's eyes glued to me as I do. I see a something long wrapped in cloth, I unfurl the cloth and see that its a Staff that was wrapped in a Cloak. The cloak is green and is definitely something a Elf would wear. The staff looks like its made of a Dark wood, the tip of it forming around a dark amethyst gem.
"It was your Father's... he had always said that once you were old enough he would teach you magic, and he would pass those down to you. Even though he isn't here to give it to you, I hope you will accept them." She says, a sad smile on her face. I walk over and pull her into a hug. "Of course I will accept them mother." We hold each other for a few more moments before she gives me a kiss on the cheek and we move apart. As I turn around I just miss a blush forming on her cheeks.
I take the Gifts and change into them in my room, before coming back out. "So... how do I look?" I say, a little nervous.
"You look great baby brother, very charming." Mila says, giving me a thumbs up. I hear a slight gasp from my mother.
"You look... just like your father... a little more handsome even." she says, another sad smile on her face.
Mother doesn't talk about father that much, and when she does she often looks sad, she must miss him a lot. According to the stories she tells me, she was a Prostitute when my father met her. She was Pregnant with Mila and was suffering for it because she had been thrown out. He found her and took her to his inn, gave her a meal, and took care of her. She talks about it like it was Love at first sight. He was with her almost every day after that. She won't tell me what my Father did, aside from the fact that he was proficient with magic, but he was obviously fairly well off. My Mother had Mila and while spending their lives together, she got pregnant again, which turned into me. A few months into the pregnancy, father was called away for a job and died in battle, leaving my mom behind with me and Mila.
I walk over and pull her into a hug again, with Mila joining in, wrapping her large arms around the both of us. She stand there in the middle of the kitchen holding each other for about 5 minutes before breaking apart.
"So brother... its time for your other gift, its waiting for you in the forest, where we usually take our breaks." She says with a wink. "We should give mother some time to herself, she seems to need it." she whispers into my ear as she passes me, heading for the door. I give mom one more hug and a kiss on the forehead before walk after her.
