Chapter 2 Awaken Me

“You must awaken him” Said Grandad “Awaken your Dragon”
That was what Grandad said before a scooped up the egg. It was cold again, I was alone, alone in the dark, but this time, I knew what to do. It was like a hidden instinct, I sat cross-legged on the ground as if I was meditating, placed the egg on my feet, and lowered my forehead to touch the egg. It was like an explosion of feelings from the stone, I thought it was attacking me until I realized, They were feelings. Love, Longing, Happiness, sadness. I embraced them, I was swimming amongst those feelings, And I gave the egg my feelings, Happy feelings, contempt, and events that had happened in my life so far, My first tooth, My family, The death of my friends, and strange disappearance of my mother. All of a sudden the darkness was gone. I was back in the sunshine, with my Grandad.
“Well done” Said Grandad proudly, indicating with his index finger.
The red stone was, changing. It was more soft than solid, and more of a gas than a liquid it was a strange feeling, sort of like holding water that floated above your palm. Then the Rock disappeared, but not fully, only the casing, And siting in my hand only the size of my palm, was a curled up in a ball was a dragon. Once again it was like a switch except, stronger, every sense had been heightened to 150%. I could determine the different types of birds in the air. I could smell the very dust in the ground. It was like I could zoom in to different things in the ground, And I could feel every single scale on my dragon. My Dragon!
“Don’t worry Lance, once you advance in your training you will be able to turn off your heightened senses, you can even lower your senses once you advance to master.” Said my Grandad.
“Wait” I said suspiciously “ Is there like a dragon, ” I hesitated. What was I?
A dragon keeper?
A dragon Friend?
“The term you’re looking for is Dragon Rider” Corrected Grandad.
“OK so a Dragon rider school?” I said.
“Sort of” Grandad said thoughtfully “There used to but now the dragons have decided to turn on us.”
“Huh?” I said confused.
“Have you heard of the Greek Gods?” asked Grandad.
“Sure” I replied.
“Well they were the first dragon riders.” explained Grandad “They had the power to use Magik and to have the almost unbeatable power of the dragons.”
“So what happened?” I asked.
“Well that’s A pretty touchy subject, we’re not sure which God It was, but they turned on the rest of the riders, and destroyed allot of Eggs which made the dragons really angry, and that’s where the mortals come in.” started Grandad
“The Gods took two sides, and as the battles broke out, the last two Eggs that were not destroyed, fell through the clouds of mount Olympus, and two people found the Eggs. And so began the start of the human riders.”
“And then I found the Egg.” Smiled Grandad “And I sworn that I would train the last rider until he was ready to start his reign to help the people in my world.”
“Huh?” I said confused ”Wasn’t your home in Sydney?”
“No I was born in another world, a world called, perspherous, which is now at war with itself.” Said Grandad sadly. “The opposition is being controlled by a strange being, a being which also reigns on a dragon, but this dragon is like no other.”
“And you need a hero.” I said, my mind in overdrive.
“Yes, and I will train you, But to start training first, you need to meet your dragon!” Said Grandad, smiling. My dragon was stirring.
