The Dragon’s Kin

It's been a whole month since I was born.

Today, is the day we would leave the cave. I will kinda miss it. I tried to ask my mother if we could play here in the future, but I still couldn't speak clearly. Well, I guess I will be sneaking here a lot.

For the first time since I was born, I walked out of the cave. I could feel my wings itching. When I tried to rub them, my mother pushed outside the cave from behind.

"Don't worry, they are just exited, it's in your blood. " she replied with a smile.

Since I was pre-occupied with my wings, I haven't paid much attention to my surroundings. I almost fell of the edge. Seriously...how distracted I can get? I wonder if being distracted is in my dragon nature...wait, I should focus!

After ending this almost endless train of thoughts, I looked around with my baby dragon body.

"waaaa~" slipped out of my mouth.

What came into my view was incredible. The view from the ridge was full of green trees, small mountain river full of little fishes and clear blue sky. My view was interrupted by my mother.

"What are you waiting for? Fly." even is she said it in her calm voice, what are you trying to make your newborn daughter do!?

Well...this was before she gave me a little push.

'I'm going to die!!!!' I screamed in my mind. But before I became a dragon pancake, my wings swung all the way to their fullest and started catching gusts of wind. I guess this is one of the instincts of dragon? I wish I knew it earlier mother!

As I flew higher and higher and started to get the hang of it, the whole mountain came into full view.

On its the west I could see sea of trees with small animals walking between them.

On the north there was a small village of monsters with green skin that resembled goblins from the novels. With their small bodies they looked like ants from my point of view.

Contradictory to west, the east was a huge ocean full of big monsters that reminded me whales with horns. As I tried to turn 360 degrees I almost lost my balance and almost fell. I really need more practice.

Finally on south side from which the cave is, I could see the small river I saw first flowing towards a small lake. A small dot that grew bigger and bigger started flying towards me.

"Tamariesha!!" as you can guess, it was my mother.
