"I've heard you've brought back a dragon Lina?"
The man called out from behind me, he had a deep voice, but it didn't seem to match his appearance at all. He looked like a normal human, wearing a black suit with a white shirt and tie. This man was the current king of Dragnof, Norah Dragnof.
"Yes Father we have brought back a recently born dragon I will raise it"
"You don't mind doing that do you?"
"It's not a problem for us father."
"Good, good." He smiled at me and then walked closer towards me, his feet crushing the dirt under them. "What would happen if a new species were discovered here in our kingdom?"
He asked, smiling slightly as he spoke.
"Father there might be some problems, because this could cause other countries to come and invade us!"
Lina said worriedly, she knew how dangerous dragons are. She thought they wouldn't want one more of those creatures in their country, but now that we've got it, maybe things won't end up too bad afterall.
Norah laughed, "Don't worry about that Lina. We'll make sure no one comes near our kingdom ever again! But why did you bring home a newborn anyway? You should know better than anyone else that dragons need to grow before they can be useful..."
"Well, well, I wanted to see what kind of creature it is...and I also wanted to try raising another one myself. After all, I'm already quite experienced with raising animals right?"
I answered him with a bright smile, and even though I was still a bit nervous, I tried to look confident.
"Hmhmhmm, I guess you're right. Well, go ahead and give it a name.
"Father we already named it, we. Named it Kamish after the dragon from 200years ago that caused the fall of the kingdom of Ruthiea. He looks similar to the picture and description of that dragon."
Alright introduce the dragon to Belserion, as they are of the same species they should be able to understand each other.
I nodded and went to go and get Kamish to leave him with Belserion.

(Kamish Pov)
When I woke up I was surrounded by a luxurious room. The first thing that came to my attention when I opened my eyes was the fact that I was laying down on something soft, so I sat up slowly and took a glance around me.
There were four large beds lined along the walls, all of which had beautiful curtains covering them. Each bed seemed to have its own unique design, but overall they looked very comfortable.
There was a desk against the wall next to mine, and above it hung several pictures of people wearing different outfits.
In a distance of the room there was a corridor and you were able to see a adult dragon sleeping peacefully inside a glass case, probably waiting for someone to wake her up. As far as I could tell, everything in the room was made out of gold. It wasn't like the pure golden color, instead it appeared to be a mix between yellow and white.
After taking a good look at every corner of the room, I noticed two women sitting across from me, drinking tea while talking. They both wore elegant dresses, but unlike the ones worn in my previous world, these clothes weren't as revealing.
I decide that I wanted to meet the adult dragon in the are I started to walk toward the dragon's chamber. When I got closer I heard a female voice speaking to the woman holding the key. She must've been the owner of this place because she was dressed in a black robe with a hood over her head, hiding most of her face.
The young lady in front of the dragon turned back towards me and smiled,
"Hello. My name is Aisha."
She gave me a friendly nod before turning back to the older lady again, whispering something in her ear. After listening carefully, the old lady stood up and walked towards me.
As soon as I saw her I felt a sense of familiarity about her. Her skin was dark brown, almost the same shade of coffee, and her hair was long and tied together with a thin ribbon. Even though her features were more feminine, compared to what I would expect from a mature woman, she still managed to look strong and powerful.
"Welcome to our home. We're glad you decided to stay here," the old lady said as she bowed deeply.
Her gesture reminded me of a knight bowing their heads in respect to the king.
What's a Dragonet doing here the dragon that was asleep asked herself.
It was a bit strange seeing an adult dragon being held captive like a pet, even if it was just temporary. However, considering how rare dragons are in this world, I couldn't really blame them.
"Lina who finished her coffie answsered we recently found him in the forest Kamish is a fire dragon and I've decided to raise it."
Belersion was a female dragon that was in the comfort of humans she didn't mind living with humans so she decided to live in the Dragnof kingdom.
Dragons are usually solitary creatures by nature, they prefer to hunt alone rather than working alongside others. Dragons have been known to kill each other for no apparent reason, especially during mating season. In fact, many people believe that dragons are responsible for killing off entire species of animals.
Dragons where known to have imense magical powers able to change terrains destory mountains evaporate the sea they were always known as natural disasters,
"Im guessing you want this dragon to live with me?" Belersion asked
Lina nodded her head yes
"You will need to train him. He has potential but he needs to learn discipline. You'll find out why when you start the Training. we will start it at a later date.

When the two women left, I looked around at all the other houses in the village. They appeared to be mostly made from stone, and bricks, with wooden frames holding everything together. Most of the buildings had roofs of either wood or clay tiles, which seemed quite sturdy. There weren't any windows, except for those on the sides of the house.
I noticed a few kids running around playing some kind of game involving sticks and stones, and there's also a group of men gathered near one of the homes talking. Most of these villagers seemed pretty happy and carefree, but then again, I don't think anyone ever gets bored in such a beautiful place.
We finally reach the large house and I was greeted with wide smiles, and a few curious looks as well. I followed Lina into the room.
Inside, there was an enormous bed and lots of furniture, as well as a fireplace and an old table surrounded by comfortable looking chairs.
There was 2 maids both were woman that appeared to be in their 20s they wore light blue dresses with long white sleeves.
Their hair was tied up in braids, and a single braid hung over their right shoulder. Both of the maids carried wooden trays filled with food and drinks, and they began placing them on different
"Lina Spoke Kamish these are your maids they will be taking care of you"
Thier names are Mira and Nina. Mira had dark black hair that flowed down to her waist and green eyes, she was short and stocky with a muscular build. She has a round face with a cute smile.
Nina has blonde hair that reached down to her knees and emerald eyes, she was tall and slender with a delicate frame. She had a perfect hourglass figure and a sweet face. She was very elegant and refined.
"Lina Spoke Kamish would you like something to eat?" Mira said
"I nodded my head as I was hungry beyond belief as I haven't had anything to eat."
'I'll think of something to do later to go hunting for today I'll just enjoy this but tomorrow I have to figure something out as I need to get stronger and the quickest way for me to do that is hunting'
"Alright, I'll see if we have something for you."
"Thank you!"
The maids left us alone and Lina sat down on the chair across from the bed. She pulled off her cape revealing her beautiful outfit. It consisted of a sleeveless, pink top that ended above her navel and a pair of tight pants that hugged her curves tightly. She wore knee high boots with a golden buckle.
The belt around her waist had a large gold buckle, which held up a sword at her side. She then pulled back her hood showing off her Red hair and red eyes. Getting ready to sleep as it's night time.
Lina then laid down on the bed and fell asleep quickly. As I looked away from her, I noticed that the window next to the door was open. And when I turned to look outside, I saw the moon shining brightly through the trees.
I thought about how nice it was to be sleeping under such a peaceful sky.
And since it's night time I'm able to explore Lina is asleep and there isn't anything around her. So I decided to leave the room and explore the castle.
I could hear the sounds of laughter and the clinking of glasses coming from the dining hall. I walked towards the sounds and soon enough found myself staring at a group of people laughing and drinking wine.
They were all wearing fancy dresses and expensive jewelry. I felt a bit intimidated by them, so I continued walking until I came to another set of stairs going up. I took the steps slowly and cautiously as I didn't want to make any noise.

I then reached the top floor and found myself in a large hallway. There were paintings on the walls and a few statues here and there.
But what caught my attention was the large doors at the end of the hall. I approached the doors and pushed one of them open. The door swung wide open and revealed a grand room filled with furniture. It had a fireplace in the corner, and a large table in the middle. On the wall behind the table hung a painting of a beautiful woman dressed in a blue dress.
She had blonde hair and wore a crown on her head. In front of her stood a man wearing a black cape and holding a sword. He was smiling and seemed very proud. His eyes were closed, and he looked like he was deep in prayer. I stepped back inside and shut the door again.
I then heard voices coming from the other side of the door. A young girl's voice and an older man's. The girl sounded sad and angry. I pressed against the door and listened carefully.
A fiery haired young girl could be heard
"when will I be able to meet my sister!"
This kid had a frame of a 4 year old and resembled Lina quite a bit. The old man on the other hand had silver hair and a face with wrinkles around his eyes. He appeared to have a stern appearance, but still managed to exude a sense of wisdom.
Can I get some Power stones💎
