Grendel Kirk
Gren entered the room, narrowing his eyes slightly at the strange colored stones before him. So
this is where the tugging was coming from. It was almost unbearable now. He approached the most attractive looking stone he could find. Purple and black swirls coated the egg, with flecks of brilliant gold spread throughout.
"This is beautiful," He whispered under his breath.
"How much is this thing worth?" That was when it exploded.
Grendel stared at the creature below him, shock etched onto his face. So the stone was not a stone. The stone was an egg. The egg had a dragon inside of it. This was a dragon egg. Dragon egg. Wait wait wait wait. This was amazing! This was going to be his path to success! Dragons only hatched for their chosen riders, this Gren knew very well! He began to extend his hands towards the small creature, who butted it's head up to meet it. There was a flash of bright pain, which then quickly subsided. Close inspection of his hand revealed a strange silver scar. A mark that Gren would come to know as the symbol of the rider, the
Gedwëy ignasia.He began to look around the room now, noticing similar creatures surrounding his friends. So...
"Are we going to be dragon riders now? This is amazing! The four of us with dragons!? We'd be all powerful! We could have riches and respect that a poor Mashal villager could only dream of!" Gren stood up now, his small dragon cradled in his arms. He scanned the faces of his companions with his one eye, a frenzied grin on his face. This was more than he could ever have possibly hoped for! Him, a dragon rider?! And the other eggs! He could get rich auctioning those off to the highest bidder! Grendel eyed the remaining eggs greedily, completely glazing over the dead person in the room with them. Those
were going to be his eggs. Wait, dead body? Gren set his dragon down carefully and began to search it for anything valuable or useful.
