PROTECTOR

The whole time Bragi was doing his chores, going in and out of the house fetching some wood and some other things, The phrase " Rollercoaster of Emotions " had another level of meaning to him. He was excited, terrified, scared & feeling courageous.

The entire time his mind couldn't couldn't get off the chicken coop by noon as usual he was already done with most of his chores and he had come home early from the farm today. He walked towards the coop then lifted up the hides he closed the coop opening with. The little dragon got up from the corner and made a gesture like it was bowing.

" Hey there little guy " Bragi said softly

The baby dragon was making no sound yet, there were a bunch of things he needed to know. What to feed it, how to take basic care of it the do's and Don'ts , he hadn't told Heimdall yet & he still needed to go learn more at the library and find out what species of flying bat this is. He chuckled

" What do you have going on there, brother? "

Kore asked appearing out of nowhere

Bragi almost felt his his heart jump out of his chest, with all the composure he could manage to gather tried his possible best not to look surprised or jumpy.

" Nothing, what are you doing here brother? "

He knew better not to hide things from Kore because that boy was sharper than a sword, Kare who was sixteen at the time bore a lot of resemble with Bragi yet they differed so much in personality it's easy to question if they're related.

" You've been coming to the backyard a whole lot of recent " Bragi stated

" Something interesting going on here? " He asked

Kare was very reserved too reserved in fact, he was a smart kid and he even barely spoke although he was just sixteen he was already the same height as their father the major difference between him and Kare was just the fact that Kare's eyes were blue and he had feminine facial features which made him a favorite among girls.

Bragi would've been jealous but he wasn't bad looking himself Heimdall was the only one who had looks to worry about they would always tease him for that

Bragi knew he had to tell his brother everything before he figured it out himself, it would be less messy to just tell him upfront last thing he wanted was Kare's smarty pants on his tail.

" I'll show you something, but first I'm going to explain it before I tell you " Bragi said

" Promise me you won't freak out " Freak out?

Kare was the most unemotional person he knew , fear , happiness, sadness he didn't exhibit any of those. He loved to be left alone barely had any friends never voices out his ambition He's just an all round mysterious guy

Bragi went ahead and explained the whole story from start till the moment they found themselves. Kare didn't even flinch didn't even hint at a sign of terror but Bragi wasn't particularly surprised. There was a brief silence after Bragi went into the monologue of his terrorizing past 48 hours.

Kore would eventually open his mouth and say.

" Bragi my dear brother, you're an idiot!! " he didn't say it in a nice way, mean way , happy way or angry. He just said it cold.

" You found a strange object in a magical cave somewhere and your first thought was to bring it home , where your family stays "

Bragi was just motionless, he understood Kore wasn't coming from a place of malice he was just a cold hearted blunt talking Bastard. You either love him or hate him for it.

" Well all that doesn't matter now, it's already here and it's what you'll do about it that matters but you do need to work on your decision making though " He continued

" Well what do you think we should do about it? " Bragi replied

" You brother, what would you do next. It's non of my business " He said so nonchalantly.

Bragi at this point was annoyed he felt like breaking his younger brothers head in. " little bastard " Bragi thought to himself

" I shall not tell mother and father as I have no desire to get them upset they can be a bit sensitive sometimes " He said as he was walking back into the house.

" You do know you have to grow a heart someday you selfish bastard " Bragi said jesting at him.

He looked back in the chicken coop and said

" Don't worry we don't need him any way, Now let me find you something to eat and you can't keep staying here it's not safe "

He went back to his room got his pouch and head into town where he was going to meet Heimdall where he always would be, around girls trying to impress them. As he was walking away from home he had to pass a bush path because their home was much closer to the fields than it is to the town.

" There was no sense living in the middle of town where our source of income was out in the fields, if we had to live on mountains to make our lives easier that's what we shall do" His father would say

He always laughed at his memories of his father he managed to say the most serious of stuff in the funniest way possible.

" That's enough day dreaming Bragi, snap out of it" he said out loud

" I wonder what my father would think of all this if he found out, No!! I don't even what to think about it "

He frowned his face at the thought and kept walking the straight path that'll take him to town. Perhaps his mind would be at ease a little when he tells Heimdall everything, at least he won't go at it alone any longer. He was sure out of his mind Heimdall would freak the Hell out and the thought of that gave him some joy. He felt as though He was going to laugh through the entire thing.
