1 Chapter 1 Leaving Home

*CLANG CLANG* These sounds were heard everywhere around me in the mines of my home mine. All around little draconic beings swung their pickaxes down on to rocks and metal I was one of them It was dark but easy for us to see at least but most of all it was safe. That's why we stayed in these caves for many years. "Hey Crimson how's it going"? I heard my friend Draco shout. Draco has always been the strongest of this generation he was as short as everybody was but his strength was abnormal thus he was dubbed Draco by the village chief. [Im doing good Draco and you]? I asked smiling at my long-time friend. "Just finished my combat training how about you did anybody pick on you today"? He asked this since I had abnormal deep red scales thus I was dubbed Crimson by our chief. Some of the others used to pick on me saying I wasn't a kobold but a big red lizard however they don't do that anymore Draco makes sure of it. "Are you still planning on leaving the cave, it's really dangerous out there you know?" He said this with a concerned look on his face. [I'll be fine trust me I've been practicing my skills with a dagger you know]. Draco let's out a loud sigh "alright alright I won't stop you Crimson, however, you need to be careful of those humans just as much as other monsters". I smile [ Thanks for worrying about me however I already made up my mind] I pick up my bag and start heading over towards the cave entrance with my friend.

As we make our way over their I feel my friend hit me on the back the force nearly makes me fall face first. [HEY WATCH IT YOU BRUTE I NEARLY CRACKED MY SKULL]! "Hey it's not like you can lose intelligence that's, not their Crims". *Where did that heartwarming goodbye go to*? I thought to myself as I regain my balance. "Crims make sure you come back got it". [Sure and you will be the first I come and see]. With that said I make my way towards the entrance. *I see sunlight* as I got towards the entrance I finally found it the exit of the cave looking over the forest. At first, all I could think is *What a beautiful sight* however that lasted only about a second and then all I could think is *AHHHH MY EYES THEY BURN WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON AHHHHH*! I think I fell and started rolling on the ground for a good ten minutes however that's my pride speaking it was more like a good thirty minutes. *HEY IF YOU LIVED IN A CAVE WITH NO SUNLIGHT FOR YOUR WHOLE LIFE YOU PROBABLY WOULDNT GET UP AFTER AN HOUR*! *Wait what am I thinking oh nevermind its time to start my journey* and with that, I make my way down to the forest and go wherever the road will take me.
