so don't point it out to him.

Clothing: Under his armor, he wears either a white sleeveless undershirt, some shorts, and some boxers, or the more traditional cloth clothing made in the smaller villages and towns. He carries some boots and shoes in his pack, but human Dragons tend to prefer to go barefoot, as it allows them to feel the vibrations in the ground as well as being able to tell other things, allowing them to hunt better and percieve more. Plus, they are tough enough so that it does not bother them even in the most rough of terrains.





General History and how it affected him: Zabel's first memories was of his adoptive father, Vrax, who found him alone wandering the forest one day. No one seems to know where Zabel originated from, or what his actual name even was. But Vrax and the other dragons knew he needed a home, and so Vrax took him in and raised him. At first, they looked for where he might have come from, but they had on purposefully built their home away from any human settlements nearby to avoid conflict, and there was no way he could have wandered that far on his own. Additionally, no one reported a missing child, and Dragons were often notified due to this instinctual need to help and save Children.

Eventually, they stopped looking, partially because they had no leads, and partially because the more he was around, the more Vrax saw him as his own son. Vrax once had a wife, a long time ago, but she had died during her first childbirth, which was a stillborn. To be honest, Vrax before meeting Zabel had been depressed, and even considering suicide (A rare occurrence among Dragons). The clan could see what Zabel was doing to him. It gave Vrax a purpose, it gave him the family he had been deprived of, and it gave him something to love and live for. Zabel saved Vrax as much as Vrax saved Zabel, even if he was never told it.

It did not take too long, or much convincing, to gift Zabel with the Mark of the Dragon, making him one of them. Besides, the boy seemed to show a natural ability for their teachings, or at least a natural ability to learn. Zabel became one of them, although he was considered one of them in truth long before that. The Mark gave Zabel all the abilities a dragon could do, including powerful Draconic Magic. For the next two decades, he learned a lot about magic and sword fighting, and anything else Vrax could teach him. The two were always close, and with the Mark of the Dragon, Zabel did not age twenty years like a normal human, but only a small fraction of that. Dragons age (and often mature) slower then any other species, with the exception of the immortals.

He was quick to earn the title of Honored Warrior and Hunter, an honor that on average is only awarded to one or two dragons a year. For his age, it was a great achievement to earn it so quickly. Unfortunately, the celebration was short lived. A group of powerful magic users known as The Triad of Ancient (Dark) Arts attacked them, stealing many relics and killing anyone in their way with an army of golems and mercenaries. During the fight, Vrax sacrificed himself to save Zabel, and the boy watched as his father disappeared in the chaos. However, Zabel refuses to believe his father is dead, in part because no body was ever found, and Dragons are sometimes enslaved and kept as pets, or used to supply Wizard Rituals with fresh Dragon Blood and teeth, the dragon being kept alive but in a cramp inside area suffering. All dragons, both beast and human, prefer to be outdoors and free as much as possible.

Zabel was quick to ask their villages council to be allowed to search for this group, rescue his father if possible, and allow them to counter attack for all the lives they took and all their relics they stole that held great significance for the village. They did not hesitate to approve his request, sending him and many others out on this quest. But Zabel was sure, he would be the one to find and free his father. He was sure of it, he would rescue his father, and he knew he was alive.

And thus, led him on this path to becoming a Legend.

Weapons: A shortsword made just for him in the Draconic Forges of Armoni, and a large Draconic dagger as a backup.

Other: He carries around an old picture of him and Vrax taken on the day he received his Mark of the Dragon. He also a small beast dragon Squiring under him named Pipap, which means Light Heart in Draconic.

Story Excerpt/Writing Sample: Zabel was roaming the city of Duraal to see the sites. He had heard that Duraal had some of the greatest culture, and the Young Dragon wanted to see it all. You see, Zabel was born human, but he has no memory of his parents. When he was two years old, his first memory was one of being found by the great Dragon Vrax. Vrax is Draconic for Tough One. Vrax took in the young boy, teaching him to speak, walk, talk, and fight. He gave him the name Zabel, which in Draconic means Young Dragon. He even bestowed upon him the Mark of the Dragon, granting him a vastly increased longevity to his life as well as great power, a gift not granted so casually as it makes someone a Dragon in essence. Only a handful of these people exist in the world. In fact, Vrax granted it to him because he saw Zabel as a son, teaching him Dragon Style Magic as well as granting him the natural skill of Dragon Sword Style. How or why Dragons invented a special type of sword style remains unknown, but it requires special Dragon reflexes, Dragon senses, and Dragon strength.

However, only a few years ago, three mysterious Dark Wizards came and attacks them. Vrax sacrificed himself to save Zabel, and Zabel believes to this day the Dark Wizards trapped Vrax and have him imprisoned somewhere, in part because of what his name meant. While he might look and act like he is ten, Zabel is actually much older. His Dragon Lifespan just makes him age at an incredibly slow rate. He maintains a human appearance, but at any moment he can summon Dragon Wings, a Dragon Tail, and Dragon claws on his body, or even transform into a Dragon for a period of time, depending on his stamina and mana levels.

And right now, he was chasing down a lead. Litterally, the guy ran as soon as he saw Zabel. Zabel could sense that he had Detection Magic set up to alert him of a threat to him. The bad news for him was that Zabel did not know what he looked like until now. And so, he chased after him. "Dragon Fire Wall!" he yelled, as a wall of blue fire erupted in front of him. The man turned around.

"That magic...this is Dragon Magic! You are a Dragon! You are the Young Dragon!" the man exclaimed, as he took out his sword. "I thought you were taller and older!"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORT?!?!?!" Zabel shouted, losing it. He hated it when people called him short. It did not help he was short. Blue dragon fire surrounded his whole body, before unleashing a large attack on him. "Dragon's Rage!"

After nearly charring the guy, Zabel picked them up, slammed him against a wall, then the stone ground, then a wall again, and then back into the stone ground. By the time we was finished, the man was barely awake...and alive. "Well damnit, I lost my temper again. Oh well, maybe he wont try to run or hold back information next time".
