Bab 2: Chapter 2
After taking some time to gather his thoughts, Jay decided to embrace his new identity and explore this world he had found himself in. Uncertainty hung in the air as he couldn't pinpoint the era he was in. But before leaving the ruins behind, he felt a curiosity pulling him to investigate further.
Despite the irritating smoke that surrounded him, Jay strolled through the crumbling remains of Valyria. As he neared a massive, half-ruined tower that dwarfed even his dragon form, he couldn't resist the temptation to see what lay inside. However, when he tried to break through the inner layer, which seemed to be made of some metallic material, he realized his strength wasn't enough.
So, Jay decided to unleash his fiery breath once more. The intense black flames melted away the metal, revealing a pool of molten gold pouring out from the structure's interior. Jay gazed upon the gold with a sense of longing, a reminder of the human life he had left behind.
But amidst the molten gold, something caught his eye—dragon eggs. Using his bat-like wings and claws, he carefully extracted the eggs from the still-liquid gold before it solidified.
Before him lay four dragon eggs, each a different hue: white, red, grey, and blue. Jay regarded them with a mix of wonder and longing. As a lone dragon now, he felt an unspoken need for companionship. Memories from a TV series he'd watched flashed through his mind, reminding him of how dragon eggs were hatched.
The challenge now was how to transport them. Jay's sharp gaze caught sight of a metallic box within the tower, gleaming with gold. With great care and using his colossal claw, he maneuvered the box out, the hole barely accommodating his massive appendage. It was a comical sight, a majestic dragon struggling with a small box.
With considerable effort, Jay managed to place the eggs into the box, all the while wrestling to maintain his balance with his lower limbs. If anyone had witnessed this spectacle, they would have been hard-pressed to contain their laughter.
Jay had successfully placed the dragon eggs into the box, but he still faced the challenge of carrying it. The box was too small to grip with his enormous mouth, and he worried that one wrong move might send it tumbling into his hungry stomach. Being a dragon, he was starting to realize, came with many limitations that were quite inconvenient.
Suddenly, hunger pangs struck him, and he knew he had to leave Valyria as soon as possible to find food. With great effort, Jay managed to hold the box in his mouth. It was then that he remembered he hadn't yet tried to fly. He attempted to flap his wings, but all he achieved was losing his balance on the ground.
Determined, Jay took a different approach. He started running as fast as he could and then suddenly flapped his wings with all his might. Slowly, he began to lift off the ground. It was an exhilarating feeling, and he wanted to scream with joy, but the box in his mouth held him back.
After a few minutes, the fog around him began to clear, revealing an endless expanse of sea below him. It was his first flight in both lives, and it was a moment of pure wonder.
As Jay continued his flight, he grew more adept and faster with each passing moment. The journey seemed to stretch on, but eventually, he spotted an island in the distance. Without hesitation, he soared towards it, eager to find his first prey.
Upon reaching the island, he noticed several villages nestled within the dense forest, along with structures resembling temples. His keen eyes soon detected a few wild animals in the woods. Jay set his sights on a wild goat, even though it seemed quite small. The goat sensed the presence of a predator and dashed away in a frenzy. However, despite its efforts, it ended up in Jay's powerful claw. With a series of wing flaps, Jay managed to land near a hill.
Unbeknownst to him, the Naathi people of the island had spotted him. They saw him as a colossal, flying monster and sounded alert throughout every village. Panic spread through every village as they faced not only the threat of slavers but now the arrival of a massive and menacing beast.
