Outcast

"I'm a member of the Crimson Flame Tribe, that wouldn't conflict with each other?" asks Valoris surprised.

"No, clans are all beastkin descended from a sole ancestor, whereas tribes are beastkin of several types gathered together by the founder. As long as it's not a tribe the clan is fighting against there are no issues usually."

Valoris is stunned and excited by the offer. This is the chance of a lifetime, as a member of the Stormfury clan, he would have access to resources, and knowledge he couldn't even fathom before, quickly he answers.

"Then I accept"

"Then kneel," says Vanor, Valoris does quickly surprised by the turn of events.

"As my right, as heir to the Taleos branch of clan Stormfury, I Vanor Taleos Stormfury accept you into the clan as a lost clan member of my lineage. As such is our custom, you will gain the name Taleos in veneration of the originator of our line. The 3rd son of the original storm dragon, his name is Taleos Stormfury, third son of the original storm dragon, Sky Ruler, Demon Slayer"

"Rise Valoris Taleos Stormfury! Rise and be recognized!" as Vanor says this, it seems to echo throughout the mountain. Seconds later the mountain shakes as if in recognizing Valoris.

"What was that??"

"The ancestors watched and approved of your recognition. For now, that is all you need to know. I will have the Chronicle be updated. Since my son attributed to you gaining your lineage. You will be put somewhere along the lines of my grandson. Now the first order of business is to prepare you to evolve! I can't have a grandson of mine running around being a kobold can I?"

"No Emperor? what do you mean prepare me?"

"Just call me Vanor when we are by ourselves kid, and several things. Firstly while you gained my son's lineage it was very diluted, it looks like you purified it with something but its still very diluted compared to what it could be. The way to fix this is by giving you a trace of the Dragon God Taleos's blood.

Within it is the much more potent storm dragon lineage then what you currently have. Also within, is a tiny bit of his divinity, or god power. This will help you reach the perfect condition to evolve. Though I have to say, you did remarkably well by yourself. This is the first time I have seen a kobold with the body strength of an a.d.u.l.t wyrm!

It seems somehow my son found an inheritor who matched him in determination. Secondly, there are several training methods created by Taleos himself that are uniquely suited for storm dragons to train in that you will find incredibly useful.

The third and final thing is I will be assigning you an instructor to help teach you all you need to know about our history, combat, elemental control, cultivation, and bloodline purifying. a fair warning, some of their classes will be held in groups.

And unfortunately, even though we will wait until after you evolve before you go to these classes. You will still be the only wyrm among wyverns, and dragonlings. I will tell you the same advice I told my son. Endure! endure and work while they look on and laugh. eventually, you will realize that while they mock you, and taunt you. not focusing on themselves..... you are catching up"

After saying this Vanor crawls away saying he will be back shortly. Curious Valoris begins to look around and finds a tome that reads

" The Original Storm Dragon, Fact or Myth". Opening it, he reads that it breaks down all the myths surrounding him. Such as it was confirmed that he had in fact destroyed two worlds that attempted to annihilate the planets under his control.

Another confirmed that near the peak of his powers, he had fought his older brother Solbastious who was 3 centuries older than him to a draw. Another discredited the myth that he disdained the thunder and wind dragon lineages that were created from his bloodline.

On the final page was the question " Still alive?" with it being unanswered.

"Valoris, this is your cousin Rentil. Rentil this is your cousin, soon I will be placing him in the general studies group, and I want you to help prepare him. You two get to know each other while I go grab something" says Vanor before rushing off.

Valoris inspects his newfound cousin. A large storm wyvern with deep blue/gray barbed scales, ebony horns that form a crown, spines that run down her back, large blue wings, and piercing green eyes that are studying him with curiosity.

" So you are uncle Valoris's son huh? I'm his older sister's daughter. Why did he give you his name? it's pretty uncommon "

" ...it was to help carry on his dream of everyone knowing the name Valoris Stormfury" answered coming up with the answer on the spot. It was clear Vanor was vague on the details, so Valoris decided to follow his lead.

" That sounds like something he would say. My mom loved telling me stories about him. Grandpa Vanor said we are gonna help you evolve, then start some crash course teaching on everything you should know. Looking at you, its clear fighting isnt something you lack experience in. But I'm gonna teach you how to fight storm dragon style.

All the tips, and tricks we have picked up over the centuries that can help a storm dragon win a fight. Also, I will be going over our clan's history, there are intricate relationsh.i.p.s both within the clan and with other clans backed by centuries of history you need to know. Otherwise, you are liable to cause problems which you really don't want.

Finally, I'm gonna help you with training methods created just for storm dragons, they bring out our max potential hidden away within ourselves. Grandpa Vanor said to only help you in fights if you are hopelessly outmatched. So don't expect to rely on me to save you all the time. If you act like an arrogant "young master" I have no problem beating it out of you. We clear?"

" We are, trust me I have no intention of becoming some fragile person who has to look down on everyone to feel good about myself"

" Perfect, you know where grandpa went? I wanna go get some food"

" I think he went to go get some blood of dragon god taleos. He said it would put me in the perfect position to evolve."

"WHATTT!" yelled Rentil shocked. The blood of dragon god Taleos was looked at with near holy worship within their branch of the clan. To give it casually out to a kobold to help him evolve was like giving a worm a divine power. As Rentil stared at Valoris in shock. Vanor crawls back into the room.

" Sorry it took so long, I haven't looked for this in ages, forgot where I put the stuff. So Valoris, you ready to evolve?"
