Born to a poor farmer and his wife was, Aurora, a very beautiful healthy baby, but she bore the mark of the chosen. Jonathan took Aurora the day after she was born and traveled quite some time before he met with his destination, the edge of their realm.
In a loving, strong voice Jonathan, through tears, began to sing.Jonathan rocked the baby back and forth in his arms as he raised his voice to the outside realms. Within the hour, the winds changed and clouds gathered above head. Jonathan continued singing, when he finally opened his eyes to peer at his sleeping beauty, it appeared.
The dragon’s eyes were crystal blue and his scales were as white as the winter’s snow.
Gently, he landed next to Jonathan. His talons dug into the earth leaving holes the size of tree trunks. All his glory and splendor made Jonathan tremble as he handed over his first born.
“Aurora,” Jonathan said in a whisper that the breeze flew away with, “is what we have named her.”
The dragon bowed his head in acceptance. “Place the baby on the ground and stand back,” the dragon’s voice sounded as rolling thunder. Jonathan kissed Aurora’s forehead before laying her down in front of the dragon. Once the dragon’s instructions were followed, he took off picking up the baby and flying past the edge of the realm.
I like this very much, it makes me wantto know what is going to happen next. Perhaps you could tell us how long Jonathan's travel was? Was it a year, a month? How did they get to his destination? I'd love to see their journey in some form. Just an idea, otherwise a great beginning and I'm looking forward to reading the following chapter.
This story has a promising start, makes me wonder if there'd be lots of adventures coming up. There isn't much of a plot yet since it's only a prologue, which I think is good because it sort of pushes one to go on to the next chapter. I like it's simplicity, and the mystery of why such events just had to happen. I'm sure there'd be more to it than what seems to be there. Hope I'm actually making any sense to you. Good Job.
