Ask Namari why Master is a dragon

From Create Your Own Story

"I was wondering, why is the Master of this house a dragon?" you ask.

Namari smiles as she lathers up some soap in her hands. "It's a long story."

"I've got time."

She clears her throat, and rubs your shoulders with her soaped hands. "Well, it was about two thousand years ago, when the kingdom was still new. The original Masters of this house were very popular and respected. They were a simple family of three, a duke, his wife, and their son. Wealthy, but humble. They often helped those who asked, and offered shelter to those that needed it. But then the war with the dragons came, the father and son went off to battle the dragons, while the wife remained."

Namari pauses for a minute, gathering some more soap before continuing. "Six months into the war, the wife received word that her husband and son had been killed by the dragon lord. They had managed to vanquish the tyrant, but at the cost to their own lives. Stricken with grief, she ran out of the kingdom and through the forests, trying to outrun her despair. She soon found herself midst the ruined fields where the final battle took place. She wandered it, hoping to find some signs of her family, but instead she found him, our Master. Newly born, clinging to its dead mother."

"The Master's mother was pregnant, and she went into battle?"

Namari nods. "Indeed. She was the dragon lord's mate, and our Master his son. Seeing no one else around, she picked up a discarded sword, and was about ready to kill the child. But upon hearing the baby's cries, and seeing him so helpless and scared, she scooped him up, and took him to her home in secret. She often thought about killing the child, but whenever he would smile at the kindness she gave him, her heart melted. After a year, the dragon said it's first words, "Mama". It was then that she decided to adopt the dragon and raise it as her own son."

"How did she keep him a secret for so long?" you ask.

"She had informed the king about her new child, and though he wanted to kill the dragon, saw the joy her new son brought her, and would not take a second child from her. But, on the condition that she keep him a secret to everyone in the kingdom. They had suffered enough from dragons, and would not tolerate one being among them. Only those who would pledge their loyalty and secrecy to her would be aware of the child's existence. So, when she finally died of very old age, our Master became lord of this household and all those within."

"Wow." you say.

"Truly. Is there anything else you wish to know?"
