The Seven Dragons
The Chosen Child

Srakk....

Clamps!

"Awwwhhhhh!"

Bughh...

Brakkk...

"Aughh..."

A boy fell from a cliff on the edge of a river. Not far from the thick enough forest, in the hills leading to the towering volcano ahead there.

The boy's body hit a tree branch and rocks, as his body fell from the top of the high cliff.

"Ouch... Huhuhuhu.. ihss..."

The little boy was crying, complaining about the pain in his body. Which is currently still in a state of being face down on the ground. As a result of falling from a high cliff behind him.

Actually, it's not the first time he's been through something similar. Because so far, the journey he has done, not only this cliff is the only thing that makes his body in pain due to a fall.

The obstacles faced by the child are many kinds.

Like a forest he had never known how things were in. The river with its swift flow and sharp rock scratches the soles of the feet. There were even a lot of deadly beasts, as the beast was a meat predator. There are also snakes that are certainly dangerous, because of venomous and other poisonous animals. Which of course can be found easily in the forest and the wild like this.

And all that must be faced by Oregon alone.

*****

Oregon is the name of the boy.

He was about six or seven years old. With his tall thin stature, and his face that looked always clean and handsome. Despite a lot of dust and wounds around his face and other limbs.

Oregon had been a month, walking from his hometown to where he was going. That is the top of the volcano, which is clearly visible is issuing a thick smoke covering the peak in the distance there.

Said the elders in the human world, the volcano was being used to accost a dragon. Who served the punishment, for the wrong that had been done by the dragon.

Actually Oregon does not know, what the exact reason, given by the elders in the human world, where Oregon originated. So as to give this heavy duty to himself, who is clearly still a minor. Compared to those who are old and experienced in any circumstances.

A month ago, an Oregon house on the edge of the forest was visited by several people. Which turned out to be the elders in the human world.

The elders met his mother, Ellie. They think that if there's something important, they're going to talk to Ellie right now.

"The Elders are convinced that this child of mine can bear the responsibility. To ease the emotions of the dragon that was at the top of the volcano?" ask her Oregon mother, when the elders came to her house. And speak of the purpose of their coming that day.

Oregon, who overheard a question asked by her mother, tried to sharpen her hearing.

At the time, Oregon had just finished bathing in the river. So he does not know, if there are guests who come to his house.

"Mothers. What's the matter?" ask Oregon, who went straight into the house.

His eyes were sharp, staring at one by one of them, the elders who were in his house at this moment.

"What are they doing here, ma'am?" ask Oregon again, because her mother, Ellie, did not immediately answer her question earlier.

"That's, they're asking for your help, dear."

And it turns out that his mother wasn't lying. So Oregon again looked towards the guests who were important people in the human world.

"What can I do? I'm just a little boy sir?" Oregon asked the guest. Ask for an explanation of the help he can provide.

The elders looked at each other, before finally one of them answered the question. "We ask for your willingness, to go to the top of the volcano over there Oregon!"

The elder's index finger, pointing towards the volcano. Which seemed far from the reach of his eyes.

The volcano appeared towering, with a thick puff of smoke covering its summit area.

From the direction of the volcano, occasional eruptions are also heard. That said, the eruption was the result of the outpouring of anger of a dragon, which was in brackets. Because he had to serve his sentence, in the crater of the volcano.

Oregon noticed how the volcano's condition was indicated by the elder earlier. Because he also knows, if the volcano often makes a blaring sound, with vibrations that feel up to his house.

But all this time he did not know, if in the crater of the volcano there is a dragon.

Not without reason, if Oregon doesn't know it. Because all this time, Oregon lived together with its own mother. Stay away from human settlements, because it is considered a cursed human being. Which caused many natural disasters.

But all this time Oregon never complained about her circumstances, to her mother, Ellie.

He often helped his mother by hunting in the forest. To be able to get hunted animals, which they can make their food everyday.

If you do not get game animals, Oregon will look for fruits around the forest. For him to take home, then enjoyed with his mother.

"How's Oregon? You want to do this job?"

The question made Ellie sad. His eyes glazed over, out of objection, at the task the elders had given his son.

Ellie felt that the task was very difficult for a small child like Oregon.

"Is there no one else you can ask for help to get there, sir?" ask Ellie, who tried to refuse the request.

"There's no Ellie. Only your son can carry out this task."

The answer certainly made many questions present in Ellie's head as well as Oregon.

"Why Should I be Master?" ask Oregon, who really wants to know. What was the reason these elders wanted him to leave.

"Yes, what's the reason, sir?" replace Ellie who asked the elders.

Finally the elders gave an explanation to Oregon and Ellie as well. If this is the result of their asceticism.

The volcano has been almost six years, experiencing strange events like this.

Always let out thick smoke at the top of his mountain, and strange noises that resulted in the tremors of the earthquake. Often leads to natural disasters.

The elders eventually went to asceticism, asking for instructions on how to overcome the condition of the mountain. And in the end, the God in heaven gave a hint. If they had to send a boy who is currently living alone with his mother.

The instructions, of course, also with some characteristics. Which ultimately leads to Oregon.

"But I'm still a little Master! What can I do to defeat a dragon who is in a state of rage, in the crater of the volcano there?" ask Oregon confused. Hearing the explanations of the elders who met him at home.

"Because you are the chosen child."
