King of the Dragons
Rai's POV
"You called, my lord?" Xaithus said while he was kneeling in front of me and his right hand was on his left shoulder.
"The first dragon king." When I said those words, his body flinched and gulped hard.
"Forgive me, my lord." He said while dropping his head to the ground. I let out a sigh and massaged my temples.
"My lord?" Callis asked while looking at me with concerned eyes.
"My lord, we only recently discovered the identity of the egg. Additionally, it appears like someone was attempting to steal it, and the human prince just so happened to find it first," he continued. I had a lot of questions, but one word in particular kept coming to mind.
"Fate," I whispered.
"Pardon?" Callis only gave me a perplexed look as Xaithus asked in surprise.
"Fate will find a way," They simply stared at me when I stated it. I got up from my chair and made my way over to Xaithus. In addition, I gave him a pat on the right shoulder.
"We can't stop it from happening," I said as I walked past him.
"Where are you going, my lord?" Callis asked and followed.
"Cave." I spoke.
"Cave?" When he asked, I simply nodded. Upon reaching the cave's entrance, I noticed a large hole and all the vines moved as I lifted my right hand. I passed into the large, shadowy opening. The interior of the cave was breathtaking, as the plants sprung to life as soon as I entered.
I keep moving farther and farther down. I arrived at my location after trekking and resting for several hours. Upon glancing at the enormous entrance, I understood that this spot was untouchable to everyone.
"I shall wait for your return, my lord." says Callis as I walk through the enormous entrance. It closed, and I headed toward the middle, where the main magical source caused the island to levitate and turn into an unstoppable fortress.
I focused my mana on the rainbow crystal by placing my right hand on it. It is my responsibility to safeguard the island and the creatures that call it home, since I am the only Alexio on this planet. After my ancestor, I didn't have to care about people because my father gave me something to keep their countries from collapsing.
After I completed the ceremony, everything was brighter than normal. The island will stay afloat for a millennium as its invincibility grows stronger. I stepped outside after making sure everything was in order, and I saw Callis waiting for me. His right hand was on his left shoulder as he bowed his head softly.
"Is everything all right, my lord?" He asked, and I just nodded before turning my gaze towards the path.
"Let's go." I said and walked past him.

Third Person's POV
"Hmmmm..."
"Your highness, can you please stop staring at the egg? The elders have been calling for you." Lucas's secretary, Kelvhan said.
"I'd rather watch the egg than meet those old hags." He said.
"But your highness." Kelvhan was frustrated when the Crown Prince didn't even move from his seat.
"They won't stop bugging me about marrying one of their grandkids.." He said while softly patting the egg.
"Tell those old hags not to bother me about getting married. I'm tired and sick of them talking about marriage with their own daughter." The Crown Prince mumbled, and Kelvhan just sighed.
Kelvhan was about to leave the Crown Prince's room, but he stopped midway when he heard a noise that was cracking
'Crack.'
'Crack.'
'Crack.'
'Crack.'
He looked in the Crown Prince's direction and saw that the egg was shattered, and he saw its eyes and scales turning into a golden rainbow.
"I can't believe it," the Crown Prince said in amazement when he saw the whole body of the dragon.
"The first dragon king," Kelvhan silently said as he watched the dragon.
"Kelvhan." the Crown Prince said with a serious voice.
"Yes, Your Highness," he said, gently lowering his head.
"The dragon's existence is a top secret. Don't tell this to anyone." He said and petted the dragon that was in his arms, sleeping.
"What about the king, queen, and princess?" Kelvhan asked, and the Crown Prince didn't answer.
"*Sigh* As you wish, your highness," Kelvhan said and stepped outside.

'Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.'
'Swoosh, swoosh, swooosh.'
'Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.'
The wind blew violently, and all the living creatures were groaning as if something bad had happened.
"My lord," Callis said as he looked towards his lord's face.
"The next ruler of the dragons," he said, watching the baby dragon that was in the arms of the Crown Prince.
"But, my lord, the Crown Prince." He cut off Callis words.
"It was an inevitable thing to happen," he said, putting his hands together and saying an ancient prayer that would keep the young dragon safe. In the enchanted mirror, he and Callis could see the tiny dragon. An old phrase flashed on the tiny dragon's forehead as it flared up.
"My lord, that is." Callis was shocked when he saw the ancient world on the baby dragon.
"Divine protection." He said those words silently, and the baby dragon was sleeping peacefully.
"My lord?" Callis asked.
"Call Caliphe," he said.
"As you wish." Callis disappeared and minutes later he came back with Caliphe, the Queen of Fairies.
"You called me, my lord?" Caliphe said as she lowered her head and placed her right hand on her left shoulder.
"I want you to send one of your knight fairies to protect the baby dragon from danger," he said, and the two just stared at each other with a confused look.
"*Clears throat* That is, umm... too difficult." Because dragons are able to detect everything, Caliphe objects to the lord's order, fearing that the fairy knight may suffer harm.
"Don't worry, I will put a spell on the fairy you have assigned to protect the baby," he said.
"Then I will call one of my strongest fairies," Caliphe said and the lord just nodded.
"Callis."
"Yes, my lord?"
"Prepare the dragon's tears." Callis froze when he heard those words coming from the lord's mouth.
"Pardon?" It was the only word he could utter. The Lord looked at him with a smile on his face.
"I have some important business to attend to in the human world."
