For seven years, day after day, Kreiss ventured into the Norynn Wilds alone. Initially, he would stay within safe distance from the village, but as he got older and bigger, so did his courage. He became bolder, and went deeper into the forest in search of the Regal Copper.
Apparently, it was rare – near never – of the dragons to ever come that close to the village, so Taijin was right; Kreiss really was lucky that day when he met the mother and her hatchling. Still, he did not give up hope, nor did he let the other kids' insults to get to him. /He's delusional, he's crazy! He'll never find a dragon. He'll end up alone./ Those were the things said about Kreiss, and he ignored them. Let them laugh and taunt. When he walks into the village with a Regal Copper in tow, they would eat their words.
Only, that day never seemed to come.
