Chapitre 3: Imma do my own thing
Waking up after my slumber, I noticed the changes that happened to me. My energy reserves had grown almost 50% from last time, probably because of how much energy I used in that purple fire breath. I grew from 30 feet in length to 50, and from 10 feet in heat, to 15 feet in height. With a wingspan of 100 feet. I am official a chunky two day old dragon.
I stretched my body and looked around the cave observing the surrounding area and noticed that my dragon mother was not in the cave with me and my other siblings. Speaking of them, I noticed that they grew a little from yesterday as well. Though, not as much as me.
The biggest of them was surprisingly the youngest male, he was around 15 feet in length, and 4-5 in height. It seemed that I'm not too much of an anomaly when it comes to dragon growth.
The other two siblings were evenly matched in size as they were around 10 feet in length and 3-4 feet in height. Though inconsequential in size to me, according to my dragon heritage they were all giants in size compared to others of the same age. Most being only around 8 feet in length at max.
Then I must be a super genius or something, hopefully dragon mother will give me extra tasty food.
Speaking of, I could hear the beats of a massive set of wings, that sounded like someone banging on hundreds of base drums at once. I could feel the wind around me increase in speed and pressure as the flapping came closer.
I could see a tiny dot in the distance grow bigger quite fast as dragon mother quickly flew towards the mouth of the cave.
In a flash, her enormous body landed in the cave making tons of dirt and dust fall from the ceiling. She dropped the body of creature even bigger than me, though dwarfed by dragon mother.
"Eat." Was all she said before she turned around and quickly passed out, though I could tell her guard wasn't down. Maybe in a sort of half sleep. Where the body and mind rest, but a portion stays awake to observe her surroundings. I remembered a fact about sea animals in my past life, like whales and dolphins.
'Does that mean we're aquatic or amphibious?' I asked myself, questions for another day.
I looked at the huge beast mother brought us, it looked like a mix between a water buffalo and a elephant, with the body and horns of the buffalo. But the trunk and ears of an elephant.
Strange indeed.
As I was observing it, I noticed my little siblings already digging into the beast.
Far away from me, worried I would hurt them for a bigger portion.
I looked curiously at the meat wondering if it would taste good even while raw. I sniffed it and it smelt pretty good, so I decided to get a good mouth full of meat and started to chew on it. (no diddy)
'This is pretty good.'
As I was digging into the beast, eating much more than my siblings combined, almost finishing my entire portion. Dragon mother was watching me eat, with eyes that I thought were proud and almost a little worried.
But she looked away after watching me for a bit, letting herself fall into a deep sleep. Obviously not worried too much about anything.
After eating more than 90% of the beast, with my stomach full I approached the edge of the cave and looked outside for the first time in my life hoping for details about where I am.
I noticed that the cave was in the side of a very, very, very, tall cliff. If I had to guess it would probably be thousands of feet tall. The second thing I noticed was that it was snowing out, either it was winter which I doubted because normally eggs hatch in spring and summer, if I remember correctly.
Which means the climate here is very cold, which probably means I'm a ice dragon, or something of the like. This information was very important because it would show what magic I would be most proficient with. Although I asked for the highest affinity with every type of magic, I would have a much higher affinity for magic that corresponds to my species, surpassing genius's and prodigies alike with my ice magic.
I always thought Ice dragons were the coolest, freezing entire countries with ice, making ice sculptures of its citizens and cities. Leaving proof of it behind, scaring beings from ever messing with it.
As I decided the path I'm taking in the future, Mother dragon woke up from her slumber and noticing me by the edge of the cave had a sly smirk on her dragon lips.
Her tail at lightning speed whacked me, and sent my flying over the edge of the multiple thousand foot tall cliff.
The only thing I heard before my plummet was.
"If you want to live, fly!"
Mother dragons voice oddly sounded excited, I could tell she was watching me as I fell.
I tried my best to flap my wings but the wind pressure shooting into me from below stopped my premature muscles from cooperating.
There had to be a way to fly while plummeting or else mother wouldn't knock me off.
Think. Think. Think.
The ground seemed awful close to me all of a sudden. Just as I was about to hit the ground, I cracked the code. There was no way for dragons weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds to fly with those thin bat like wings, unless they were very powerful.
It must have been magic, but what kind. Wind, or some kind of unique draconic magic.
I don't have time to think. I just have to act.
I closed my eyes and focused on the feeling of the wind around me, and tried to manipulate it to make me float instead of fall.
Almost instantly I could feel my body stop falling and instead I was staying completely still in the air, like someone was holding me in place.
I spread my wings now that the wind pressure wasn't there, and I asked the wind to make me go up.
And like an old friend, the wind responded and I began to fly upwards, I flapped my wings and my speed multiplied by many fold. I was like a lightning bolt as I went far above the cliff where my home resided.
The feeling of wind against my scaly face was exhilarating, I stopped going up and just glided straight ahead, watching the setting sun from above the clouds.
It was beautiful, more beautiful than anything I've ever seen.
It was time to head home, my siblings were probably worried. Mother too maybe.
I glided down towards the entrance of the cave and saw all my family members sitting on the edge watching me approach.
They made way for me to fly in, I stuck the landing perfectly as the wind guided me and slowed me down.
Eventually I'll want to fly by myself without the winds help, but that's for later.
"Did you enjoy the breeze?"
Mother dragons smirk wasn't there, it seemed it was a genuine questions and not a sly remark.
"It was remarkable, I wish to do it again tomorrow." It was my first time using my draconic mouth to speak so my voice was a bit raspy.
"Maybe this time I won't have to push you."
There was the sly remark. I turned around and laid down on my luxurious bed made up of animal pelts and leaves.
I could tell mother favorited me over my siblings, but I don't think she would neglect them or forget to feed them.
In my dragon inheritance, some dragon parents leave as soon as the eggs are laid and let them hatch by themselves and fend for themselves. Luckily we got a sensible mother, who didn't abandon us.
"Abeloth, in 10 years, there will be a tournament held for the youngest generation of dragons, would you like to participate. The winner will get countless treasures to help them develop in size and strength. You'll also find many female dragons your age you could mate with."
Before I could go to sleep, dragon mother hit me with a haymaker.
"Of course, those treasures are mine, and if any waifu's pop up, I'll take them too." (Not a harem.)
"What's a waifu?"
"Nothing, don't ask again."
I quickly ignored any remaining questions she had about the word that slipped out of my mouth. Before I passed into a slumber I said.
"Imma do my own thing, mother."
