Chapter 2 - 2.Old man

Once again, I open my eyes to be greeted with darkness.

Then a light appears belonging to a fire.

I turn towards the direction of the source and I see the bearded man, this time without the hood covering himself.

I realise that the fire was hovering above his hands. This world has magic!

He greets me with a smile and then starts chanting something which I assume to be a spell.

[Hello there young one, my name is Alfred]

I'm able to understand him!

[As you are an infant, you probably don't know what happened since you were born during a battle between dragons and humans]

Hmm? Oh right my mother was a dragon so that means that I must be a dragon too!!

I look down and see that I purple and black scales and my short claws.

I'm currently sitting on a somehow cosy stack of hale mixed in with some soft materials.

I try standing up but I immediately topple over.

Alfred let out a soft chuckle and continued talking.

[I was walking around the aftermath of the battlefield looking for survivors of either side and I happened to find you]

He showed a look on his face as if he was recalling something.

[I carried you back to my lodging hidden deep within the forest]

Without warning, a loud grumble came from my stomach.

[Ah yes you must be hungry. Stay here will I find you something to eat]

He chanted another magic phrase and a large boulder rolled over to the side allowing natural light to flow into the room.

After Alfred left, curiosity led me outside, since Alfred must've forgotten to close the door.
