The dragonaught (Chapter 1)

  'Ok, so I should probably try to find people soon'. Brody was not sure where to look for people as he heard no river near him, and couldn't tell which way North was, so he just started walking. As he was walking he took in the new smells and sights. It smelled faintly of maple sap and cut grass overall a really nice smell, pleasant and calming. He hadn't noticed this before and linked it to why he wasn't freaked out as much as he should be.

  It was unsettling to relise that however he decided that getting out of the forest was more important than thinking about that right now. He looked at the forest trees that looked like hyperion redwoods just larger to the point of dwarfing most buildings, and he tried to link some animals to the ambient forest noise and birdcalls.

  Soon after looking around he realized that there were very few animal's around. Loosing intrest he decided to try out his new wings. So he got a runing start jumped tried to flap his wings and 'oomph' hit the ground hard so he decided that maby just stick to walking while flaping his wings would be good enough so he could get the practice of moving them and then he could fly.

  'Ok so the system is a Smartmouth alright well I'm glad there's at least some entertainment here'

  After hours of walking Brody heard water and feeling thirsty he decide to approach the water, finding a 15 foot wide river from the looks of it and as he go's to take a drink from the river he's startled by his face as he hadn't thought to check his face before he he has 12 horns with 4 larger ones being 5 inches and set like a crown on his head with the smaller ones being 3 inches. (At least from his point of view), put in the gaps of the 4 large ones. he had a very rough looking face with many ridges almost like a closed pinecone. And the teeth of an apex predator with several variations of teeth some are sleek and sharp others serrated and a few curved as well as 4 larger teeth near the front top and bottom used for getting a grip on unfortunate opponents. He wonderd if there was more information about him on the status screen. 'Well there's only one way to find out, status.'

  'Ok so nothing has changed on the surface but what about any extra information?'

  'Oh snap, uh- lets see, information about my race

  'Wow that's a lot to take in. So I guess I have a higher potential, can someone raise there Rarity trough effort or are you just stuck with it?'

  The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

  'HEY! Actually fair enough.'

  Behind hem he heard a quiet rustling and he whipped around to find a rather short man in plate-mail with a sword on his back '!?uy oh× rea u?y adn hwy a?r ?y?-'

  'Uh I can't understand you' the man then raised his hand and Brody felt a strage feeling in the back of his head and the Short man spoke again 'I said oy what are you doing out here and why are you alone and naked'

  Brody deciding that he should tell the somewhat truth about why he's here responded 'I woke up a few hours ago in the forest and I don't rember how also I've been walking for several hours already and haven't made much progress figuring out anything yet.'

  'YOU'VE BEEN WALKIN IN THE FOREST FOR HOURS AND NOTHING HAS ATTACKED YOU!' The short man screamed

  I responded 'Uh, yes sir nothing has attacked me, and now that I think about it I haven't seen any animals for a while either.'

  'Ok so either you are one of the Luckiest people or you just have a realy threatening air around you and stand here I'm sure it's the latter' the short man chided with a shiver

  'Well anyway' he continued 'we.should probably start heading towards the village here soon and set up camp before night hits, and by the way I'm Max'

  I told him my name was Brody and we headed out towards that village he was talking about

  6? hours later we were setting up camp for the night when my stomach hit me with a Huge pang of hunger and a loud growl

  'Hungry?' asked max

  'Starving!' I responded eagerly

  He smiled and threw a small pouch of what smelled like old Jerky at me and I took some and tossed the pouch back to him, the jerky was a bit bland but not too bad.

  'It's not the best but is should hold you over until dinner' he said

  I said 'alright' and waited. About 15 minutes later an amazing aroma hit my nose I almost started drooling on my self I asked what it was and if it was done and he said it was called "terta stew" and it's almost done so I waited about 15 unbearable minutes and the smell continued to improve I had given up on not drooling by that point and there was a puddle at my feet.

  He took one look at me and bust out laughing. 'You look ridiculous' he said between. Bouts of laughter while handing me a bowl I took the bowl out of his hands and started drinks fast it tasted very similar to chicken broth mixed with bone broth and a hint of steak. I thought I kept composed until I heard Max saying 'you look very happy with the stew' while chuckling to himself before yawning and telling me he's heading in for the night and we would make more progress in the morning.

  I woke up to noise outside the tent and unzipped it to find Max starting to pack up before seeing me and waving, returning the jesture I got to putting away my own tent wich I struggled with more than I care to admit. Around 30 minutes later we were setting off on our way to the village. While on our way there Max asked me if I had a class to wich I responded no to, Max looked at me with a face that could only be described as how are you even alive, before he said just that.

  Max then asked 'do you have a subclass or any abilities'

  I said 'nope I don't have either of those Max then asked what Rarity I was in my race and I told him (epic)'

  if Max had had water in his mouth hw would've had a spit-take becaise aperently rarites above common and uncommon in the dragon-kin race are almost unheard of due to the incredibly small small population 'how many dragon-kin are there?' I asked him and he said 'Nowhere near as many as any other race but estimates say only 15,000 dragon-kin exist.' And then it was my turn to pull a spit-take. 'WHAT!'
