Chapter 10 - ch 10: Hatching in his sleep.

...

Arthur quickly dealt with the fealty of oaths with the other two, Eivor was so over confident she sought a fight with Thors, to which he agreed too and they left.

As for Noir, that wolf had grown in height, it's fur thick alongside it's muscles hidden under it.

When Eivor and Thors were fully gone, the wolf slowly stood up on it's four feet, Arthur just stood still, his curiosity getting the better of him as he saw it's sudden actions.

'crunch'

'crack'

The wolf's body started morphing, it's front paws elongating into arms, Arthur just stood there completely baffled, his eyes blinking rapidly.

When the wolf stopped it's morphing, it stood on it's two feet, standing at a height of almost ten foot, it let out a low growl before a deep voice came out of it's snout.

"Master!, food!, hungry!", Arthur's eyes kept fluttering and he nodded, "go on then, make sure no one see you, you'll be chased endlessly if someone see you like this".

The wolf slowly went to it's four feet again and quickly left, it's movement's incredibly fast and agile, with each movement, it would simply jump as it's natural running.

Arthur left the cave aswell, watching the wolf running away in the distance, he just murmured to himself before leaving, "what a big bastard, I think I'd have to fight it with the sword now".

Especially it's speed, it was running even faster now that it had suddenly gotten used to it's massive body.

While it was running, it finally found a deer and it instantly pounced towards it with a sharp clear slash with it's claws.

The deer itself split in half spilling blood and guts all over the ground, the wolf however just stared before devouring it heartily.

It soon stopped it's actions and it looked up, seeing the dragon sneaking towards it's new master, it let out a loud howl.

The dragon that was sneaking towards Arthur's location, paused and turned it's massive head, "howl again, and I'll pummel you into mince meat, you damn mutt".

Mergther quickly started crawling again, the wolf however slowly stood on it's two hinds, it's face growing more ferocious by the second.

"Go to sleep little one..", behind the wolf, a woman's voice came and the wolf collapsed onto the ground, "Fenrir, take this wolf back home".

A twenty foot massive wolf came out of the darkness and picked up the wolf like a pup, then left.

"This way, he's waiting for you and.., you're not exactly unseeable, you're red vein's are like bright light's in this darkness", she shook her head as if she was seeing a complete idiot, before she turned around and walked off.

Mergther's entire body was as stiff as a block, he didn't know why, but he was so scared he even peed a little.

After hearing the woman's words, he slowly turned and saw a woman walking in a different direction.

Pausing for a moment, he decided to slowly follow behind the woman.

Soon the two arrived at a large longhouse far from the other Viking's homes, satiated atop of a hill overlooking the village below it.

Mergther stared down at the village, until he heard a familiar voice, "big guy, cut your palm and place your hand over this".

Turning back, he saw Arthur with a barrel already cutting his own palm over the barrel, Mergther nodded and cut open his own palm with one of his claws.

Blood splattered everywhere, even onto Arthur's face and clothes, Arthur just stood still and he slowly looked up at Mergther, Mergther however ignored his flat face and continued to squeeze his own palm letting the blood flow into it.

[I just took a fucking bath, and you throw your fucking massive hand over my head, letting all of it spray all over me!.]

"There, you have my blood, and let me guess, you have dragon egg's don't you, just to let you know, you also need fire for this, I can provide you with it, as magic fire is far more potent for a faster hatching".

Arthur took the barrel inside and he nodded, "fine, make sure it doesn't burn my home, just spit it onto the fire pit right there..".

He paused and held his sword at his waist, "I'll forgive you for spraying your blood on me, but I won't forgive you if you burn this place down".

Arthur could feel it, the blood was like it was on fire itself, like he was bathing in a hot spring, luckily he had slight fire immunity or else he thought he would've been burnt alive by it.

Mergther slowly lowered his head in understanding, "okay".

Slowly peering it's massive head into the doors entrance he stared at the fire pit, where three eggs were placed, each one glowing brightly as if they knew what was about to happen.

Arthur slowly stood aside with the barrel and nodded towards Mergther, "go on, do it now!".

Mergther slowly opened his mouth and blew a small flame onto the fire pit, the moment it touched the fire pit, the flames instantly flew around wildly, the orange flame was constantly switching colors continuously.

Arthur covered his face and took a few steps back and threw the blood in the barrel onto the pyre.

The flames instantly changed from it's frenzied state into a calmer one, from it's earlier red and orange flame, into a pure calm blue.

Arthur kept backing away, if he didn't, he would go bald, he didn't want that, so he kept backing off.

After a few hours, the flames died down, no to be precise, you could say that they just stopped entirely, nothing happened and Arthur just frowned, he turned towards Mergther and frowned further.

[Is this bastard a fake dragon, he must be born from a Drake or a Wyrm.], Mergther seeing Arthur's gaze looking at him as if he was looking at defective product, instantly roared in defiance.

"This isn't my fault!, the ceremony was a success!, look they're just late blooming and a bunch of lazy idiots!".

He pointed towards the eggs and Arthur followed it, the two just gazed at the eggs, still, nothing happened.

"Screw this! I'm taking them into bedroom!, I don't have time to stay up all night watching and awaiting for them to hatch!, you can rest here Mergther".

Arthur losing his patience, he grabbed each egg and took them to his room, when he took the last one in, he made sure to look around before closing his door and locking it up fully, even the windows were tightly shut.

He had grown quite repellent for anyone sneaking into his room after the previous two invasions.

Getting into his bed, he just stared at the eggs for a while, before his drowsiness took over him.

In the middle of his sleep, slight cracking sound's from his bedside could be heard, Arthur grumbled, with his eyelids fluttering while this was happening.

'crack'

'crunch'

'crunch'

'crack'

"Giisss", the pitch black egg fully cracked open and a small dragon peered it's head skull like head out, hissing as if it was expecting a fight upon birth.

Spreading it's wings, it broke the remaining egg, staring at Arthur as he slept, it twisted it's neck in a curious manner, crawling over like a snake, it climbed his bed skillfully.

Soon after, the bright blue egg also started cracking and a head peered through a slight crack, this one was rather curious as well, but it chose to stay inside the egg and watch the black one climbing towards Arthur.

As for the red egg, it showed no signs of wanting to come out at all, the black baby dragon finally got close enough to Arthur.

It kept nudging him with it's small head, even biting his fingers, when the baby dragon, saw no response, it arched up it's tail and shot it towards his hand.

Arthur shot his eyes open feeling something enter his skin, but it was already too late, he couldn't move, it was like he was paralyzed.

Moving his eyes downward, he saw the black dragon curiously tilting it's head, as if it's act of waking him up was normal.

Arthur angrily glared at the thing, especially after seeing it's tail deeply implanted within his hand.

He could see black vein's spreading throughout his arm, [fuck!, this bastard is poisonous!.]

"Rawghhhh!", the red egg burst open and a grey little dragon angrily glared at the black dragon, it's furious gaze held a hint of red lightning.

The black dragon instantly hid itself when the grey baby dragon let out a tiny roar, the grey dragon turned it's head slightly and knocked over the blue egg, causing the other dragon to fall out of it's shell after cracking open, upon hitting the ground.

Arthur just watched these little fiends fighting one another, especially when the black dragon kept repeatedly trying to stab his hand with it's poisoned spiked tail and succeeding every time.

He was left lying there utterly defenseless and paralyzed as they started wrecking havoc within his room.

He actually preferred the blue dragon, which was the calmest amongst the three, as of right now at least.

It was already sleeping by his side, as for the other two, they were fighting still, biting and clawing at one another.

When the poison wore off, he slowly stood up and he was about to pick up the black one by the scruff of it's neck, however it was nimble and it stabbed his leg, Arthur instantly felt his body go stiff and he instantly fell forward collapsing face first onto the floor.

[This little bastard, this is the tenth time, I swear I'm gonna cook you on the fire pit.]

The black dragon actually felt like it understood him, and it stabbed his arm in a protest multiple times, this time the poison was much stronger, causing him to pass out from the excruciating pain.

When he awoke, the Dragon's had calmed down significantly, Arthur felt like his entire body was hit by countless baseball bats.

Slowly trying to stand up, he once again got stabbed by the black dragon's tail, but this time, nothing happened and when Arthur felt nothing happening, he stared down at the black baby dragon with a hidden glint in his eyes.
