"It was raining, the clouds above my head bold and dark. Flashes of lightning brought silver linings, brief and feral, across the brooding sky. Suddenly, a bright stream of orange flame rushed towards me as the dragon roared in anger. The heat of the deadly flames was so strong that the rain misted before coming into contact. Breathing hard as fear consumed me, I swung my sword, aiming for the jugular while I ducked under the scorching heat, my armour feeling as though it would melt onto my fur.
I missed.
The dragon didn't give up, bringing up more of its flamible gas from its belly as it prepared for another breath of fire. Distracting me for a moment, the dragon swiped, diverting my attention. Before I could regather my bearings, the dragon spewed his molten breath at me once again. There was only option left; allow it's claw to hit me.
SMACK!
The tip of a nail caught my eye, and I cried out in pain, and I knew one thing in that moment; I knew the wound would scar."
With a quick nod of his head, Eino rubbed his eye as though recalling the pain of the incident.
"But Eino," His friend Elsh asked; "Didn't you say you got it falling off a cliff the last time?"
"Ah, but I did! You see, this battle took place at the top of a cliff, and I was precariously close to the edge. The dragon, shifting it's weight so much during the battle, ended up loosening the ground beneath us, and just as I went to behead the beast, the ground gave way, and I fell. As I did, a rock hit my eye, catching me here," Eino pointed to a smaller scar slightly off from the biggest one before pointing to the one underneath. "This is where the dragon claw caught me."
"Then, what about the pirates?" Chygo asked his friend, getting suspicious of Eino's stories. "And the big scar?"
"Ahh, you see, that's where things get interesting. At the bottom of the cliff, the ocean was raging, the storm causing turmoil within the sea. I fell into the water, where I drifted, only to be picked up by pirates. I was tied to the mast for several days when suddenly, their ship was attacked. The dreaded whale, Moby Dick, broke the ship with a single bite. The mast got caught in his teeth, and before I knew it, one of these huge things scraped against my eye, giving me this," Eino pointed to the main scar around his eye. "I barely escaped with my life."
It wasn't until a few years later that Elsh and Chygo learned the truth... Eino had left out an old newspaper with the title "Local Teen Survives Pirates After Falling Off A Cliff While Fighting A Dragon."
All of it was real.
