It was early in the morning, Bragi got up from bed and stretched for a few seconds. It's been while since he slept this good, he reminisced about the previous day where His friend Heimdall so his dragon for the first time. The original plan was to see him off and maybe turn back after the fields but the conversation was far too interesting and he delighted in the way he made fun of his friend, one thing let to another and they found themselves drinking ale in town.
Bragi wasn't too drunk, because He was taught at an earlier age not to get drunk in public . He did drink enough to get light headed, on His way back home, The only pleasure he could think of was getting in bed and passing out. He got out of bed and decided to go check on his little companion in the chicken coop, He always woke up before sunrise so he knew no one would be wondering around the chicken coop.
They were gradually approaching winter so it was really cold outside, he lifted the hide he covered the chicken coop with and to his own surprise. The dragon which was the size of a kitten the previous day had grew 2/5 in size.
Bragi felt sick to his his stomach and felt himself having an anxiety attack.
" Bloody hell " he said. He's first problem was bringing the egg home the first place, after it was the question of where to keep the egg then It cracked He had to figure out where to put the bloody dragon in. Now it's multiply almost half his size everyday.
" That wouldn't be able to contain it much longer " a voice said from the back. Bragi knew who's voice it is and at that particular moment he found it very irritating.
" I checked on your little friend here, who won't be so little any longer. He can't stay here"
" What do you want?!! " Bragi said with an irritated expression.
His instincts just told him to feed it at that moment, he got up and brushed past his brothers shoulders aggressively " Out of my way fool " he added
" You'll soon have to start feeding it an entire bison ya know that? "
Bragi came back with bigger chunks of meat and the dragon gobbled them up in no time. His mind was buzzing back and forth about what he was going to do next?
" okay, you're the genius. What do you think? "
Bragi asked Kare
" It evidently has about a week more coop space before it outgrows it, an animal like this the last thing you want them feeling is uncomfortable or irritated " He stated. He continued
" It would be wise to place him somewhere no one would absolutely look, where it would be free and spacious because at some point it'll spread those wings and want to fly and we haven't even got to the fire breathing part "
Bragi's arms had already dropped at this point, this was way complex than what he thought. What the hell was he even thinking?!!!
" you'll then have to device a way of transporting it to that location without it being seen, because if it's spotted it'll do you more damage than good believe me. This part of the world doesn't get to see Dragons that much most especially not this town "
Bragi often marvelled at where his brother got his intellect and wisdom from , it all just seemed not natural for someone his age and he grew up here it wasn't like he was very exposed. He did read a lot so he justified it with that.
" So where do you think that sort of place can be? " Bragi asked
" that's not my problem, it's your pet. Go figure it out "
That urge to break his neck came over him again.
" Shut up and leave, you're useless " Bragi said furiously
Kare just waved him off nonchalantly and went back inside
" Don't forget to light the logs on fire, carry your pet along to help with that. At least someone will be useful to you "
Bragi threw a piece of meat at him as he almost faded into the shadows but then something occured to Bragi.
" what that just humour from his dead emotionless brother? " He smiled and said out loud
" you're finally turning human fool "
He gave the last few pieces of meat to he dragon closed the coop opening. He thought he had had the dragon for a few days now he should interact with the dragon more he read people trained dragons and was wondering if he could do it himself too.
Fortunately everyone wasn't going to be home later that morning he had planned he would let it out of the coop for the first time but first he had a lot of things to do that more as he was leaving he silently muttered to himself
" it would actually be nice if you were useful in light these logs on fire "
It was noon and there was no one around except Heimdall, he had invited him earlier so they would have a go at training the dragon together. Bragi regretted not reading much on the training methods he only wanted to figure out the species of fire breathing flying lizard he had with him, maybe he would go back to the library later that day or the next. He took a walk around the house and surroundings Incase anyone came trotting back for something they forgot or whatever.
The coast was clear and he signalled to Heimdall for them to head towards the back of the house where the chicken coop. It was a beautiful day that day the sun was out but it wasn't hot or scorching. The air was pristine it was cool not cold and the scenery never got old he looked over short log fence it was nothing but beautiful green fields and preceding the mountains with cloudy peaks. Who wouldn't want to stare at this all day? he always asked himself he wish he had more time to take the beauty in but he had a dragon to train.
