Becoming A Dragon Slayer
I was 10 years old when me and my family were going out of our village and into the wild for two days. I was excited and it was year 970 - the year when my parents died. We were out of the village and into the close forest. We were an ordinary, norse family and my father was friend with our jarl - the leader of the village. After a hour of walking, I asked my father "Dad, can we have a rest?" "Yes, son. Let's just walk a little bit down this road and we will have rest." - my father answered and I nodded. We stopped by a river and we drank some of the pure water. It was summer and it was warm. We continued walking and were now out of the forest and in the open fields, from where we had a great view of the true beauty of the mother nature. We saw something in the distance flying and due to the distance we were seeing it, it was huge. My father said "No way... RUN!" I was a bit scared now and I didn't know why we had to run but I did what my father told us and we hid under the trees of the close forest. We watched as the figure got bigger. And bigger. And now I could see that it was a huge reptile-like thing with big wings and black eyes. It had white scales and light yellow tummy. It had four sharp, straight horns. We ran towards the village and my father hugged me and kept running and my head rested on his left shoulder and I could see the dragon going past us. We weren't far from the village, but saw that the dragon landed, facing us. It opened it's large mouth and we went behind a rock and I saw a lot of fire, burning everything in it's way. We heard a loud roar. "This was a close call" - My father said after the dragon flyed away. There was a forest fire and we had to go somewhere out of the forest. We continued to run towards the village, but something happened while we were running. We saw the village burning and people running and dying from fire. Then we saw the dragon up in the sky, roaring and letting fire from it's mouth upon the people. It got closer to us and my father threw me in a hey stack. Then I saw my parents burning and screaming. I pushed my ears with my hands and started crying. I couldn't take it anymore. The situation was too scary and stressful for such a little child. I ran in the forest and didn't stop running even when my legs were aching a lot. I finally stopped when I was knocked out of tiredness. I woke up in the night and I was cold, so I gathered some sticks and two rocks. The process was very slow and annoying, but after a hour of doing that, I finally started the fire. It was warmer and I got to sleep. I slept and on the next day, I started building a house about ten meters away from a river. That is how everything started and in the next ten years of surviving in the wild, I had an axe, a sword, both metal and I had a house and food.
I was becoming twenty years old and it has been ten years. I wanted to revenge for my family and friends. I couldn't leave that dragon alive, so I prepared myself. I already knew the location of the dragon. It was in a mountain three days of walking and the direction was north-east. It lived in a cave and I have seen that dragon going in and out of it, not once. I got both of my weapons and enough food for a week. I got some water from the river and started walking towards the mountain.
