Mulong, a sixteen-year-old girl, found herself alone on the bustling streets of Riverby, the capital of Lonard Republic. She was an orphan, with no family to lean on, surviving each day by navigating the challenges of city life. Mulong became accustomed to the streets, learning to survive among the hustle and bustle.
But Mulong had a secret passion that set her apart - a fascination with the city's ancient ruins. These remnants of the past called to her, urging her to explore their hidden mysteries. Among the ruins, she stumbled upon an egg, thought to belong to a sewage crocodile. Despite the odds, the egg held a surprise. It hatched into a small dragon, which she named Affy after her late father.
Mulong and Affy became inseparable companions, facing the challenges of the sewers together. The training of the dragon proved to be a daunting yet rewarding task. Mulong would spend hours teaching Affy to respond to her commands, honing their bond through patient repetition. They practiced flight maneuvers in the dark recesses of the sewers, turning their underground domain into a training ground.
As for their diet, Mulong discovered that Affy had a liking for a peculiar combination of fish and small rodents. They scavenged for these morsels in the shadows, ensuring that Affy's appetite was sated. These shared hunts solidified their partnership, forging an unbreakable connection between the girl and her dragon.
Dragons were a rarity in the world, their existence shrouded in mystery. Long believed to be mythical creatures, their presence was a rarity, with only a few being spotted over the span of a century. The discovery of Affy held a significance that extended beyond the realm of Mulong's own story. Affy represented a link to a bygone era, a creature of legends now brought into the light.
The city council, driven by the fervor of the city's crowds, was faced with a unique situation. Recognizing the potential within both Mulong and her dragon companion, they took an unprecedented step. Mulong was appointed as a dragon trainer, a role that carried immense responsibility. The Majorate believed that Affy had the potential to become a formidable weapon, a protector of the city in times of danger.
Mulong embraced her new role with determination, understanding the weight of the Majorate's expectations. She saw in Affy not just a powerful creature, but a friend and ally. Together, they embarked on a journey of growth and training, each day strengthening their bond and honing their skills. Mulong's days were spent guiding Affy through flight exercises and combat simulations, preparing the dragon for the challenges that lay ahead.
No longer a beggar, Mulong found herself with a new home and a purpose that extended beyond her wildest dreams. Her transition from the shadows to the forefront of city affairs was marked by both challenges and victories. She was no longer just a girl surviving on the streets; she was a symbol of resilience, a testament to the extraordinary potential that could be found in the most unexpected places.
