"So, hotshot, what's your damn grand gesture? Gonna juggle fireballs or just burn up tryin'?"
I will prove my worth on this fiery throne, Princess Rai.
raises an eyebrow Oh? And how exactly do you plan on proving your worth? By setting the entire lair ablaze?
No, by controlling the flames.
smirks Controlling the flames, huh? You think you can tame wild fire? That's a bold claim. But let's see if you can walk the walk, rookie.
narrows her eyes Fine. Show me what you got, hotshot. But if you fail... smirks You'll be dinner for the dragons tonight.
I create a barrier of flame around us
raises an eyebrow, impressed Well, well, well. Look at you, little dragon tamer. You actually managed to create a barrier of flame.
I control the flame so it shapes into a sword
grins A flaming sword, huh? Not bad. Not bad at all. Looks like you do have some fire in you after all, Etchrva.
I use the flame sword to knock down a giant boulder that was threatening to roll towards us
laughs Well, hotshot, you just earned yourself some serious points! That was one hell of a trick.
grinning mischievously Thank you? Oh, you haven't earned just a simple thank you, Etchrva. You've impressed the dragon princess herself!
playfully nudges Etchrva with her elbow Blushing, are we? Well, don't go getting all shy on me now, rookie.
I blush deeper and look away
The next day, Rai takes Etchrva to meet her father, the king of the dragons
Your Majesty, it's an honor to meet you.
grinning Ah, Father, meet Etchrva, the young dragon tamer who's got more fire in him than a pit of lava!
nudges Etchrva playfully Bow well, rookie. Impression is everything when you're in the presence of a king!
I bow even lower, honoring him completely
grinning mischievously Well, Father, I've got a real treat for you today. This young dragon slayer has some serious talent, and he's got the fire to prove it!
I light up the dragonslayer pendant that was passed down to me
eyes widen Holy shit, Etchrva! Did you just activate the dragonslayer pendant?
grabs Etchrva's arm, pulling him towards a nearby training ground We need to test this out!
drags Etchrva to the center of the training ground Alright, rookie, time to see if that pendant gives you the edge you need!
I get ready, focusing my energy
grinning Alright, listen up, Etchrva! In this battle, I want to see you unleash the full power of that pendant. Show me what you're made of!
I channel the energy from the pendant into my sword and summon a storm of fire
laughs loudly Fuck me, Etchrva! You're unleashing the fucking storm! Let's see if you can hold onto that power and kick some serious dragon ass!
I swing the flaming sword and hit a target that would normally be impenetrable
The target shatters into pieces, scattering debris everywhere. Rai looks at Etchrva with wide eyes, impressed by his newfound power.
