Erragon's Heir: The Hero of Euria
Once upon a time, in the deepest reaches of the ancient forest lived a majestic golden dragon named Erragon. His scales gleamed brilliantly in the sunlight, his eyes sparkled like the crystal blue sea, and his wings spanned wide as his magic moulded the world around him. Erragon was a creature of immense wisdom and power, feared and respected by all who dared to venture the depths of his realm.
Through the ages, a prophecy echoed in the air, whispering about a brave human who would seek out the golden dragon. This human would learn from Erragon, absorb his wisdom, and bring peace to the troubled kingdom of Euria. This story starts with the appearance of that human, a poor foot soldier named Eduard, dispatched by the king to kill the mighty dragon.
However, on gaining an audience with the golden dragon, Eduard was awestruck by Erragon's wisdom and intelligence. He couldn't believe a divine creature like him could be the evil beast the castle's whispers had spoken of. So, instead of fulfilling his duty, Eduard decided to stay, wishing to learn from Erragon, hoping that the dragon's wisdom could help bring peace to Euria.
For years, Erragon taught Eduard the ways of the world, the balance of nature, and how to harness magic. They delved into the essence of power and the importance of responsibility. Eduard, being an adamant and dedicated student, flourished under Erragon's guidance, his heart filling with courage, compassion, and wisdom.
As time passed, the bond between Eduard and Erragon strengthened. However, their peaceful existence came to an abrupt end when the news of Euria being invaded reached them. Armed only with Erragon's teachings and an enchanted blade, luxuring with the celestial energy, Eduard turned his footsteps towards the chaos that his home had become.
The Euria that Eduard returned to was scarcely the one he had left behind. Buildings were in ruins, families were separated, and despair hung heavily over the kingdom like a choked night. At the castle, the situation was no better; the King, overwhelmed by everything, was near insanity.
Eduard gathered the distressed troops and devised strategies using the knowledge he'd gained from Erragon. He showed them the value in standing united and fought alongside them, raising their morale, making them believe in their strength and themselves. His brave heart, courageous actions, and strong will impacted those around him, changing their despair into the hope of a better tomorrow. The new life that Eduard breathed into the almost lost battle was quickly noticed by the concerned king.
During the final battle against the invaders, Eduard managed to harness his internal magic. With the celestial energy from his enchanted blade, he cast a spell that blinded the enemy, turning the tides of the battle in their favour. Eduard’s display of power and strategy led the discouraged troops in driving the invaders out, saving Euria from the brink of destruction.
The war was won but at a tremendous cost, a cost that had to be never repeated. The relieved King, witnessing Eduard's transformation and the changes he brought in the kingdom's functioning, named him the rightful heir to the throne. Eduard was surprised, but he accepted the role, hoping to use his position to bring a long-lasting peace to the kingdom.
Under Eduard's rule, Euria flourished into a peaceful and prosperous kingdom, and the prophecy of peace came true. True to his teacher's teachings, Eduard led with wisdom, responsibility, and kindness, reminding everyone that the power he held was never his own but for the people of Euria.
Every year, Eduard would return to the ancient forest to spend time with his mentor, Erragon, regaling him with tales of his kingdom, always a student, forever seeking knowledge, striving to be the brave human Erragon had always believed him to be.
