THE ORIGIN

"HEY, BRAGI DON'T BE TOO LATE OUTSIDE"

His mom yelled.

"Yes, Mother I won't be"

He of course knew he was going to be very late.

His mom a short little woman, who make no mistake is the strongest person he's ever met. she had blond hair, a prominent brow ridge which her brows were a mix of dark ang golden.

Her eyes were ocean blue, something about looking at them just made you at peace almost instantly, with high cheek bones and a well defined jaw. she was just the most beautiful sight to see.

Bragi took some time to wash his face at the stream, he glared at his own reflection, he had fair skin his hair color was dark with little streaks of gold it was long and he packed it into a ponytail. His eyes were hazel which was really uncommon it just made him all the more unique, he also had a slightly pointed nose and a well defined jawline.

Bragi stood at six feet and two inches tall, broad shoulders but very skinny build (he didn't like that very much)

He was going to meet up with some of his friends most especially his best friend Heimdall, not a lot was there to be known about Heimdall he was just a short chubby kind from the town of Gyotre.

before leaving the house , mom tasked him to deliver some brooches she had made to Nadia, she was a trades woman. He didn't know, for some odd reason the woman just never seemed to like him, or his mother or his brother but word has it she had history with his father. Maybe she's just a bit bitter things couldn't work out between them.

she had to be at least 6 feet tall, a round intimidating face, a uni brow with the darkest of eyes ( maybe the most gorgeous of the qualities on her face ) and oddly sized breasts which compared to the rest of her body is far to big strangely protruded from her chest. she had a deep voice which made her all the more Intimidating. He delivered the brooches to her.

"Bragi, your mom send this did she?"

with the meanest expression on her face, Bragi gulped down some if his own saliva

"yes she did, she told me to pick some hides as well"

"that'll have be tomorrow" she replied

her expression softened a bit, and almost with what seemed like a smirk

" Tell you father I say, Hi"

"Yes ma'am to which Bragi replied"

He was glad that Interaction was over, a little longer he would have started sweating.

He met up with Heimdall shortly after and they took off towards the hills with a couple of other boys he grew up with.

A couple of years ago when we were younger they would play hide and seek, but nowadays they tend to do some work out, goof around and talk about girls and sometimes their ambition to be strong men or warrior's for the kingdom.

because he had to deliver the brooches earlier that day him and his friend were quite late. because of the other boys on the hill and they just did what they usually do just talk a bit, grade the most beautiful girls and talk about random stuff, but Bragi always had someone in mind he knew was the most beautiful girl in the village (Frigg). He slipped into a brief daydreaming phase of holding Frigg's hands and telling her every single day how she's the most beautiful creature to ever walk the universe. He let out a little smile at the corner of his mouth.

It was already getting dark the other boys including Heimdall were heading back home, Bragi for some odd reason decided to stay back this particular day to think a little bit more and reflect on and stresses on what he wants his life to do.

he thought to himself he's at that age where he has to have a purpose, worth chasing with his life for. Walking back home he didn't take the usual path he would as every other time.

He was kicking a rock as he walked down the path, the rock rolled off into a cave. He had forgotten The cave was there or his brain ignored each time. he and the boys had been in the cave before and there was nothing particularly interesting about the cave but his curiosity took over him and wondered into the cave.

the sun was still setting so the light from outside dimly lit inside of the cave, he was initially focused on the rock until he thought he saw something he decided to move closer maybe to get a little more clarity on what it could be. He proceeded to move forward then all of a sudden he started to feel his body get lighter, he was on the ground but felt like he was floating through something he could feel his body moving through some kind of plane which the perception of space and time didn't seem to exist although very brief it felt like bliss , he felt invincible he felt immortal.

The feeling stopped, it didn't feel like he was in the same cave , but it did feel like one it was far darker and hollow bit he could make of something in the distance some kind of glow. He moved towards the glow with absolutely No fear or awareness towards danger, His mom usually told him he could be stupidly courageous and curious sometime and get would always reply with "Those are some of the qualities great warriors posses"

He smiled a bit.

" You fool, should you be smiling right now"

He muttered to himself

As he moved closer he could make out the shape of something that looked like an egg bit it was the size of a small rain barrel, so there was no way that could be an egg. He got closer, the egg was sitting on a boulder, it was large with tiny scales all over it , it was glistening the scales shiny in a way there were tiny visible cracks all round the egg. It was as if brute force had been tried to open the egg before.

The cracks had a neon green kind of glow to it and it made the egg seem to come alive, the placed both his Hands close to the base of the egg he didn't particularly feel anything that communicated the egg was alive. but it was hard to the touch , scaly but in a smooth way. He picked it up it weighed about 50 pounds which was not typical for a dragon egg. He found his way out of the cave and enjoyed that brief moment of bliss again.
