Chapter 6 ( Acnologia the second of his name.)

I watch the black claw protruding out of the egg in shock.

And it wasn't long after that another claw smashed another hole, and the egg unable to handle fell apart and revealed the newly hatched dragon inside.

A jet-black dragon, with shining red eyes, it started right at me, seeming interested in me, and for some reason, I wasn't really afraid of it, if anything I was drawn to it.

And on pure instincts alone, I stretched out my hand in its direction as, with the slightest hesitation, it jumped on my hand and climbed up my shoulder.

The connection it had with the egg was now stronger than ever and growing every second. This dragon was mine.

But the whole situation created more questions and answered none.

Truthfully, since I've come to this world, I haven't seen my face or my hair, I don't know if I'm from some distant and forgotten line of Targaryen descent.

Or was this dragon just a gift like the Mera-Mera, but if it was wouldn't it have been easier to give to me as I awoke in this world or at least mention it in the information I had gotten?

Question after question appeared on my mind one after the other, none of which I could really answer at this point in time.

The fact of the matter was simply that I had a dragon now, something that hadn't been seen in years.

He snuggled into my neck as his scales rubbed on my skin and when to sleep. That was good it gave me time to prepare.

Compared to his frightening appearance, he seemed really nice for a dragon, but I knew that was only because of our bond. That was probably also the reason I knew he was well.. a he and not a she.

It was just a feeling that I seemed to know how to interpret, telling me he was tired or his general state of mind.

It was a lot, but at the same time, I was glad for the company, as even with his arrival, my plans hadn't changed. If anything, his arrival made my plan to stay here until I was strong all the more necessary.

" I have a dragon and the power to control fire. It would be weird if it didn't become someone great in this life."

" Sigh, four years, I'll stay in this forest for four years, I won't even think about leaving until those four years are done, that should be more than enough time for me to really change and be ready to take on anything that will come my way."

Now that decision was made. All that was left now was to name my new dragon partner.

It needs to be a name that would fit the beast I know he will grow into. A name really didn't take long.

I remembered a dragon in another show famed for killing other dragons and his immense power, pitch black with blue markings, the dragon of the apocalypse.

" Acnologia."

The little dragon was still fast asleep, and I knew a new problem would arise upon its awakening. He was bound to be hungry. After all, he hadn't eaten since hatching.

I had planned to put of get more food until tomorrow, but things have changed now, even though I am tired from using my fire to hatch the egg, I should be able to push through and get something even if it's just a rabbit.

I couldn't leave Acnologia in the cave, and he was pretty much stuck to me even. in his sleep, so there was only one solution, which was to bring him along.

So I got up and, for the second time today left the cave.

I didn't plan on going far seeing that would be a stupid idea, and there was no need, I had noticed rabbits frequently passed by, so all I needed to do was hide away and wait until one appeared.

With Acnologia on my shoulder, I had to take my time getting into position so as not to wake him, and then the waiting began.

( fifteen minutes later)

After what seemed like hours later, one finally appeared.

Now all I had to do was catch it, I had learned my lesson with the first rabbit, and I was too slow to catch it by chasing it, which left only one other option.

I formed my finger into the shape of a gun and took aim, and the rabbit noticed nothing.

A ball of fire about one centimeter formed at my fingertips, and I fired it off immediately, aiming for the head.

BOOM!!!!

BAM!!!

The shot hit the target dead on causing a miniature explosion, as brains and blood flew everywhere.

" Shit!!"

I quickly ran forward and picked up the dead rabbit and put its head to my mouth, soon a mixture of blood and brains entered my mouth, and I drank it after all I had still yet to find water.

After I had enough, I moved the rabbit from my mouth, formed a small flame in my other hand, and burned the wound so it would stop bleeding.

As I turned to head back to my cave, I felt some movement on my shoulder as Acnologia had awakened by the commotion.

He looked around curiously until his eyes landed on the dead rabbit in my hand, and he tried to roar, but it was more of a high-pitched squeal.

I looked at him and smiled.

"You are Acnologia, the dragon of apocalypse second of your name. Cool, huh?"

He again tried to roar to show his agreement, but another squeal came out.

We would need to work on that.
