Capítulo 1: The Dragon's Call

Iori Nakamura walked through the bustling city streets, his rhythmic footsteps echoing against the concrete as he headed home after another long day of high school classes. The setting sun painted the sky in golden hues, casting a soft light over the tall buildings and the hurried cars passing by.

Like many young people his age, Iori had dreams of grand adventures and exciting discoveries. As he walked, he found himself daydreaming about distant worlds and unknown lands, longing for something more than the monotony of everyday life.

It was then that a mysterious letter arrived at his door that afternoon, interrupting his daydreams. Iori picked up the letter, his heart pounding with excitement. Upon opening the envelope, he found a thick piece of paper, marked by a dragon-shaped crest, gleaming in gold.

"Dear Iori," the letter read, "you have been chosen for a journey that will change the course of your life forever. Follow the instructions contained in this letter and prepare to discover a world beyond your wildest imagination. Your destiny awaits."

Despite the impressive crest and intriguing words, Iori couldn't help but feel a touch of skepticism. Was this some kind of joke? Or perhaps an elaborate prank by his friends? He shook his head, laughing at himself for even considering the idea that dragons could be involved.

However, that night, when he finally fell asleep, Iori discovered that the line between reality and fantasy was thinner than he had ever imagined. He was transported to a place of darkness and mystery, where great fiery eyes watched him from all directions. Before him, the ancient dragons appeared, powerful and imposing, staring at him with a mix of curiosity and interest.

Iori watched with admiration and a touch of nervousness as the other ancient dragons joined the Golden Dragon, their penetrating gazes fixed on him. They radiated an aura of power and authority, and Iori felt small in their grandeur.

The Golden Dragon addressed his companions with a palpable reverence in his voice. "Noble dragons, this is Iori Nakamura, the hero I spoke of. He has come from another world to help us in our hour of need."

One of the dragons, with silver scales that gleamed in the light, tilted his head in curiosity. "A hero from another world? What mystery is this, Golden Dragon? What do you see in him that we do not?"

The Golden Dragon cast a meaningful look at Iori before replying, "I see potential, greatness, and a power that is still dormant. Iori may be the key to our salvation, but we must learn more about him and his gifts."

Another dragon, with bright blue scales that seemed to reflect the night skies, spoke with a deep, resonant voice. "Is it true that you come from another world, Iori Nakamura? Tell us more about your journey and what brought you here."

Iori swallowed hard, suddenly feeling the penetrating gazes of the ancient dragons. He took a deep breath, gathering his courage, before beginning to recount his story, from the mysterious letter to the encounter with the dragons on that fateful night.

As he spoke, he felt a mix of emotions: fear, admiration, hope. He didn't know what the future held, but he knew he was about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime, alongside the ancient dragons and in his new world, Alduria.

After hearing Iori's story, the ancient dragons exchanged looks among themselves, discussing in deep murmurs. Eventually, the Golden Dragon spoke in a solemn voice:

"It is true, Iori Nakamura, that you are an unlikely hero. But it is precisely this unlikelihood that leads us to believe you are the right person for this mission. For true heroism lies not only in physical strength or combat skills but in the courage to face the unknown, to persevere in the face of adversity, and to fight for what one believes in."

The other dragons nodded in agreement, their expressions showing respect and acceptance. Iori was momentarily speechless at their decision, his heart pounding with the responsibility he was about to take on.

"But... I'm not a hero," Iori murmured, feeling a chill down his spine at the magnitude of the task ahead. "My body is weak, and I've never even fought in my life. How can I be the right person for this mission?"

The Golden Dragon smiled, a gentle expression in his golden eyes. "Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, Iori Nakamura. It is not brute strength that defines a hero, but the courageous heart that resides within them. You may not have battle experience, but you possess other valuable qualities: compassion, determination, and a willingness to help those in need. These are the traits of a true hero."

Iori looked at the dragons around him, feeling humbled by their ancient wisdom. He knew there was still much to learn, but he was determined to do his best to protect Alduria and those who lived there.

With a lump in his throat, Iori finally nodded. "I will do whatever it takes to help. For Alduria, and for all of you."

The ancient dragons nodded in approval, their gazes conveying confidence and hope. With this promise, Iori was ready to begin his journey as Alduria's hero, even though his heart was full of uncertainties about what the future held.

The Golden Dragon raised his head in a majestic gesture, his voice resonating with authority and benevolence. "Iori Nakamura, for your bravery and commitment, I will grant you a special blessing. I will forge a body worthy of a hero, strong and resilient, so that you may face the challenges to come."

The other ancient dragons echoed the Golden Dragon's words, their powerful voices blending into a unified chorus. "And we will also contribute, each of us adding our own magic and power to your form. Together, we will make you the most formidable of heroes."

Iori could hardly believe what he was hearing. The idea of being blessed by the ancient dragons themselves seemed beyond anything he could have imagined. He felt a comforting warmth spread through his chest, a sensation of hope and determination burning within him.

"I... I don't know what to say," Iori murmured, his words failing in the face of the dragons' gesture. "Thank you. I will do my best to live up to this honor."

The Golden Dragon smiled, a gleam of pride in his golden eyes. "You have already proven yourself worthy, Iori Nakamura. Now it is time to begin your journey. May courage and determination guide your steps as you defend Alduria against the approaching darkness."

With one final bow to the ancient dragons, Iori prepared for the transformation that awaited him, his heart full of gratitude and determination. He was ready to face the unknown, confident that he was not alone in this battle. With the ancient dragons by his side, he knew that nothing could stop him.

As Iori prepared for the transformation promised by the ancient dragons, a sense of dizziness enveloped him, and the surroundings began to darken around him. He could barely distinguish the forms of the dragons around him as his consciousness oscillated between wakefulness and sleep.

Then, just as he was about to faint completely, a voice echoed in his mind, deep and powerful yet gentle and comforting at the same time.

"From this day forth, you shall be called Eldarion," said the Golden Dragon, his words resonating like a distant echo. "A name that reflects your new nature, your connection with the ancient dragons, and your destiny as the hero of Alduria."

Eldarion felt a wave of pulsating energy course through his being, a sensation of rebirth that filled him with newfound determination. His old self, Iori Nakamura, vanished into the darkness, making way for a new identity molded by the ancient dragons.

When he finally emerged from the darkness, Eldarion opened his eyes to find himself before the ancient dragons once again, his vision clear and sharp, his mind filled with knowledge and power. He was now more than just an ordinary student; he was Eldarion, the chosen hero to protect Alduria and its people from the approaching darkness. And he was ready to face the challenge with all the strength of his new being.

The wise counsel of the ancient dragons echoed in Eldarion's mind, resonating like a comforting and inspiring melody.

"Learn to harness the power within you, be a worthy hero, train to be strong, be strong for justice; if you do this, you will be a true hero," echoed the first dragon, his words resounding with authority and wisdom.

The second dragon continued, "If you find yourself in trouble, remember us, and we will lend you support. We will always be by your side, Eldarion, ready to offer our help when needed."

Finally, the third dragon spoke with reassuring gentleness, "Above all, find happiness in this new life of yours. Do not forget to find joy in the small things, even amidst the battles and challenges you will face. Your happiness is important, Eldarion, for it will strengthen your determination and guide your path."

Eldarion absorbed each word with renewed gratitude and determination. He knew his journey would be arduous and filled with challenges, but with the advice and support of the ancient dragons, he felt he could overcome any obstacle that crossed his path.

With a solemn nod, he bid farewell to the dragons, feeling invigorated and ready to begin his journey as Alduria's hero. With his new identity, his newfound powers, and the dragons' support by his side, he was determined to face the unknown with courage and hope. And so, with a firm step, he set off into the unknown, ready to write his own story as Eldarion, the hero of Alduria.

After receiving the counsel of the ancient dragons, Eldarion was sent to the northern region of the continent of Dragonterra, where the dragons dwelled. This mountainous place, dotted with numerous volcanoes, was known for its intense heat and majestic landscapes.

Guided by the instructions of the dragons, Eldarion found himself in a vast plain at the foot of the volcanic mountains, where the air was thin, and the ground trembled beneath his feet with the latent power of volcanic activity. The heat of the northern sun beat relentlessly upon him, contrasting with the cold air that blew from the snowy mountains in the distance.

Focusing on his new mission, Eldarion closed his eyes and delved into his inner self, seeking to access the power newly bestowed upon him by the ancient dragons. A sensation of warmth began to pulse within him as he connected to the essence of his new identity as Eldarion, the hero of Alduria.

With concentrated effort, he managed to visualize a holographic screen before his eyes, revealing his own status and abilities. However, to his dismay, Eldarion realized that his initial status was weak compared to what he had hoped for.

Determined to overcome his limitations, Eldarion vowed to train tirelessly, seeking to strengthen his body, hone his skills, and master the powers that now resided within him. With this burning determination in his chest, he prepared to embark on his journey of self-discovery and growth, determined to become a true hero worthy of the name Eldarion.
