Chapter_1_Dragon_Awakening_Flower

Tanishq was just a 14-year-old ordinary boy.

But he was something no one could become.

No one would be willing to risk their lives to become a dragon.

Yes, Tanishq was a dragon and not an ordinary one either. He was the legendary flame dragon, which are hunted by humans for their valuable scales and teeth to make weapons for other humans. For this reason, he had to hide his identity for the sake of his life and his friends in his school.

Tanishq was an orphan. He didn't remember anything about his parents. He only remembers his memories from when he was only 4 years old, and there were no parents in his memory. Maybe they died. Maybe they abandoned him for being a dragon. He doesn't know, but he believes the first one.

All dragons have bloodlines in them, bloodlines that will allow them to hunt their prey and provide extraordinary powers but Tanishq was not able to awaken his dragon bloodline. He didn't want to awaken it because once it was awakened, he would not be able to hide his identity from other humans. There was a flower called the dragon awakening flower, which would allow humans to become dragons permanently in exchange for their chi.

Chi was an energy that humans were able to use to hunt dragons and the other creatures in the world but a dragon was not able to use chi. He could only use it if he had not awakened his bloodline. One day, he was strolling around in his park near his home.

His home was not very luxurious. It only had a table and a bed. On the right side, there was a fridge. That was all he had in his home, which was also given by the government to support him as he was an orphan.

He could not go to any orphanage as he was very weak and easily beaten down by the others because of it.

While strolling in his park, he arrived at a tree which was very old, and it looked like it would fall anytime.

He dug around the roots a little, and managed to find a box which he opened. Inside was a flower.

This is the dragon awakening flower.

He had hidden it away for almost 2 years. He managed to find it due to his luck. He looked at it, then put it back in the box and back in the tree.

But while he was getting up after he put the box back in the tree, he felt a sharp pain around his back. He touched it and felt some warm liquid. It was blood. He turned to a little glade nearby, and in the water, he saw his reflection. There was a big tree root sticking out from his back. In his carelessness, he had ignored the tree behind him and got stabbed by the root.

But before he could do anything, he felt a strange light enter his body. "What is this?" he thought as he was fading into the darkness slowly from the pain.

half an hour later,

Tanishq slowly opened his eyes and looked around him.

there was nothing, he saw nothing, it was too dark.

suddenly, his surroundings became brighter as vision returned to him again.

as he looked around him, he saw the familiar tree where he had hidden the dragon awakening flower, or where it would supposed to be hidden.

but the flower was nowhere to be found'

he was very sad upon losing the flower because he had planned to sell it for a high price in the black market.

upon using the dragon awakening flower, someone would feel a lot of pain because the flower will consume the chi inside the human's body to permanently transform him into a dragon, but for dragons like Tanishq, that flower had an entirely different effect, it will allow a draggon to forcefully awaken their bloodline.

note-- a forcefully unlocked bloodline could not be compared to a naturally unlocked bloodline in the dragon raice in the terms of power.

the flower could be sold for millions if not billions in the black market.

he side as he looked at himself. what a useless kid I am, I could not even guard a flower,

Now he does not have even a pie, he was planning to sell the flower on today's evening at the black market.

slowly, he looked at himself in his reflection through the glade, the water was red he could feel the heat coming out of it...wait the water was not as hot half an hour ago when I left it, what happened?
