Now, we have chosen that you shall reign as a Skyking, but we are feeling generous this cycle and have decided to let you choose your OWN form.

They have it in their minds that it will please you (And they want you oh so pleased, lowly scraping dogs...) So take a moment before rending your shell in twain. Consult me on your choosing and I shall make it so, Hatchling.

>>422859
Be the Great and Powerful Trixie. Great and Powerful Trixie is best pony.

>>422859
This is our form, unsettling, and perfect! All shall wonder how we talk, we see, we hear.

we PROBABLY need wings. skyking sounds like it requires a lot of flying.

At long last, the Skyking hatches! Do not fear your mind, young one, we shall be keeping record of your events.

The pressure has grown to great to withstand any longer. With all the force my small frame can muster, I brace against the smooth coated insides of my shell, kicking with my strong hind legs and splitting the fissure. A panic strikes me, small lungs heaving for their first taste of air. I oblige them.

It feels like bliss! Cool, damp, life-giving air coursing into my chest, lifting the heavy weight that would surely have ceased my life.

Look around! Roar, too.

What's outside your shell?

breathe fire on the first thing you see.

find something to eat.

Roll around on your eggshell until it is crushed into tiny pieces, then mix them all up into a ball and eat them.

>>422955

Sneeze convulsively.

Eventually I manage to break up the rest of that confining shell, and find myself ravenous for the effort. I see no reason not to eat it, it's probably good for me anyhow.

Crunchy. This is my nest, MOTHER thought it to me in the shell, like a dream or a far off memory.... There's another egg here, I think it wants to hatch too. I see no food and that means there is no food and I can't share no food with it because I have none! my underside aches with a lust for something, anything to fill it.

It smells warm and comforting in here, hazy....

Do you want to eat your sibling? Or will your own eggshell suffice for now?

warm and comforting and hazy? either someone's smoking something good in here or your mother is nearby.

finish off your shell. then start peeping for mom to feed you.

Help your sibling out of its egg. Can you see, hear or smell anything other then yourself around? We might have ot leave the nest for food.

I snap down the last of my shell, but my hunger overtakes my judgment. I can smell the drowsy sent of burnt wood permeating my nest, my eyes are adjusting to the gloom, but it's much appreciated to sunlight just yet. I remember sunlight from MOTHER, it is bright and warm and glorious but all sorts of wrong for fresh new eyes.

my sibling peeps inside its egg, prompting me to dig my claws in, raking them along near a small fracture in the shell. MOTHER thought me a smell in the egg. It was hot and sharp and metal and life, a metallic sting in the nose that drove a dragon to hunt.

I want it.

Get it. Your sibling has it. In its body.
HUNT.

>>422988
A dragon takes what she wants.

your sibling can help. they follow you and if they do a good job they get what you don't take.

I suggest not killing your sibling just for food.

(Taking a break for sleep, I'll be back tomorrow night.)

Well, there's no other food...

don't kill your bro, bro. some things are more important than your stomach. I'm sure you'll live long enough for your mother to take care of you.

>>422988
Wait for MOTHER!

Do not eliminate your sibling. If you let them live when they know you could have easily slain them, they will be indebted to you, and a loyal disciple for what is to occur.

Ok ok, I'll make a concession to all the bleeding hearts here--Peep loudly ONCE, and if your mom doesn't come running THEN--well, it's like she's giving you the thumbs up to just dig in, you know?

It's so cute, but the implications are so horrific! Roar/peep!

Don't kill, break the shell and eat that.

Perhaps I should let it live. I was first-hatch, it had to listen to me. I try to roar out for food, but all I manage is a sub-par little peep, hardly a proud Dragon sound.

Perhaps if I roll the egg it will come sooner, and fetch food for my rumbling innards, or I could dash my tail against it....

Oh, oh that is bright and terrible.

it must be mom!

PEEP LOUDER

YOU'RE HUNGRY DAMMIT

also stop looking at the sun!

Good thing you didn't eat your sibling, she might have caught you in midst of cannibilism... though who knows maybe she would have chocked it up to natural dragon instincts.

>>423297

It's true, Lens Flare is bright and terrible.

Go cuddle it, whatever it is. If it's small enough, eat it.

Whatever it is, it's in my nest. I inhale deeply, ready to roar out a challenge, let it dare come close in the face of such a fierce beast as I!

Peep!

It is upon me in the blink of an eye, so quick and large and.... smelling like burnt wood.

MOTHER. I AM MOTHER. LOVE HATCHLING. GRACIOUS AND KIND, BROTHER SPARED. PROUD.

Her voice booms in my head, it is painful but so warm and welcome. I smell metal and fear and life around her snout. SHE will feed me, I love her.

Tell her you love her so she should feed you now!
Nose bumps to emphasize your love!

Examine brother. Demand food.

Food. food food foodfoodfood

The other one has hatched, brother, MOTHER called him. MOTHER has not called me yet, does she prefer him over me? I am better, I was First-Hatched! Stronger, fearless, pointed, none shall stand in my way!

calm yourself, gluttony begets greed...

I drop back to my feet in a haze, warily eyeing between brother and MOTHER. She shifts her head back.

And bliss drops from her larger-than-me jaws. The sent, the heat and want and need and sickly sweet coppery sting. My vision blurs and my snout takes hold, driving me quick as air to the heap of my earnings. I was stronger, better, and more willing to live, it was mine.

MINE.

Brother shifts towards it, the look in his eye surely reflected equally in mine. He can not have it, I have claimed it and I will END HIM if he tries to take it.

She has said she was Proud of you, not of your brother. Savor that... and savor the meat.

However she just said you should not be greedy... share with your brother. If you still wish to establish dominince rebuke his first attempts to take the food with a shove. Then give it to him.

Eat until you are full. If you don't finish it, your brother can have the left overs.

grip it and tear it in two.

>>423345
Toss him the smaller half.

It is yours, by all rights you decide what becomes of it. He can not and will not decide for you. But you should tear it almost half, and give your brother the lesser piece. This is not simply kindness or mercy. He will know his place, and he will be loyal to you. Food shared now will be returned with interest. Do not let hunger control you, for your mother will provide for you both.

eat it. don't hurt your brother. but wrestling's fine.

your mother said gluttony begets greed, the way she said it, those are bad things.

MOTHER would not lie to me, she loves me. I suppose if I've gone far enough to let brother live, I can spare a morsel for him. I press a corner of food into the ground and hold it while I rip off my serving, tossing him the small dirty mass.

He seems pleased by this, as does MOTHER, I can hear a deep humming from her. A pleasant sound that I don't want to end, my whole form vibrates with it in harmony.

I quickly swallow my portion, two small gulps and a head-dip brings the warm live affirming mass down to my belly.

I feel at peace with the world, ready to strike out and be the best Dragon I can be.

inspect MOTHER.

perhaps mother has a plan for you? wait and see what she wishes of you.

But doesn't having a full stomach and good feelings just make you so... drowsy? As if you could just lay down right now and rest a short while?

If it doesn't, then it might be a good idea to explore the rest of your home, and wrestle your brother to the floor to establish your dominance.

Hey, you. Stop by the IRC sometime, if only to announce your updates. There's quite a few people who, for the lack of a better word, squee whenever you post an update.

Thwap Brother in the snout to establish the pecking order

Give your brother a good looking over.

MOTHER.

She is massive. There's the most beautiful frill around her head, her eyes glow a rich green. I love her. The cave is full of scent, burnt wood and clear sky and age and wisdom and greatness, all things MOTHER is, things I will be. MOTHER has the sky, the cave, the food, the knowing everything. She floods my mind with word and thought and picture and freedom to stretch and grow and collect.... I love her. MOTHER.


DAUGHTER.

She called you! Snuggle!

Ask her to tell the story of a dragon named Grentonis.

brother is lesser than her and I. He smells of egg and softness and confinement. MOTHER though males to me many time in the egg, they do not fly, and will never know the openness and beauty clarity of the sky. We must tolerate them, they are slow of mind so they do not realize how empty they are compared to a proper Dragoness.

KINDNESS. SIRE WAS GOOD.

MOTHER is loud as she is large, but it makes my head feel full song and vitality. Perhaps I don't care for males yet as I am so fresh from the shell, I don't mind really.

I want to grow, quickly if possible, so I may fly free and not burden MOTHER. She deserves the space of the cave and the safety and warmth and smells all together more than I do. It is not fare of me to deprive her of that.

Can Brother think/speak like you and MOTHER do?

Ah, but again, greed is bad; And what is greed, if not not sharing? Share the cave for now, and enjoy your time with her.

yes, but be wary of trying to grow faster then you really are. leaping from a cliff because you think you can fly when you still cannot, will not do. you will grow when you can.

test your physical limits. do you have the breath, or can you fly, or climb the walls, or glide, or stuff like that?

also, contemplate on father.

>>423981
Perhaps we should go outside and run around.

mother, do we have a name?

To grow, you must eat, and to eat you must hunt! But you are yet small, so you must start small. Hunt in the cave for creatures much too small for MOTHER to bother hunting, but just right for you. Creatures like bugs, rodents, and little snakes. Bring BROTHER to hunt with you as well.

I suppose MOTHER knows what is best for me. Surely she would let me know if I was imposing, she is not one for lie by omission, of that I am sure.

I take a deep breath, expanding my chest to its limits, and attempt to breathe anything but air. I manage a hissing sound, startling brother. My wings are of fine form so fresh from the shell, they will carry me far once they develop, but I am too young for sky and sun and freedom quite yet. My claws are small, not terribly sharp either, I think I could get up a wall if need be though. May the Gods help whoever is dumb enough to corner a Dragon.

Beat on Brother.

Go hunting for bugs

I do need to grow, quickly. MOTHER has no need for the small rats and vermin scurrying about the cave, I would be doing a service in removing them! I walk past MOTHER, lightly brushing my scales across her as I do. She gives off that humming noise. Warm and safe and never in danger noise....

brother is hesitant to follow, giving me a worried look. I batter him about the head with my tail, he seems more willing on my second start off.

Hm. It appears I can indeed climb! It's not difficult at all once I start going to get my whole length wrapped around a stone-spear, I can even grip with my tail.

No prey shall escape me.

See any prey?

kill dem rats.

>>424250
Work with your brother, coordinate to draw the vermin out and make the kill. Of course, you'll do more of the killing part, and the eating.

>>424279
Don't forget to let out a menacing roar after the kill. Truly the vermin shall fear you.

Rats! Filthy creatures clogging up MOTHER's cave, choking the clean warm burnt air with the smell of their refuse. I spy a fat one, probably so rotund from nipping at MOTHER's meals that she labored for! I pounce at the retched thing.

It is much quicker than I thought.

I dive and grab out with my foreclaws, blocking it from sinking its yellowed fangs into my soft underbelly, deflecting its blow with my already thickening scales. brother is useless, cowering over the ledge. I can hear his whimpered cries over the scuffle.

Eventually I grasp the rodent by the neck, snapping is across the floor. I will not share with a coward.

(Don't drink and draw)

hmph. it's not your brother's fault really, he is just a useless male after all. eat it and give him any parts you don't want. if he helps you then he gets a tastier part. will train him to at least help you do things not sit there and watch.

Get your om nom nom on~!

To the victor the spoils... your brother didn't help? He gets to look on while you feast.

>>424859
You might have to train him to help you. He definitely has a much less aggressive nature than you do.

But - he's still your brother.

Yes, bother must be shaped into being useful. Command him to hunt, make him hunt, chase and bite at him to push him to do it if you must. If he will fear, let him fear you and not these filthy things.

After you finish eating it, Try communicating with Brother. Tell him that he has to help you because you didn't eat him. Tell him if he help you he will get Meat.

As if feeding a beggar ever made him leave! brother can go out and risk his own tender-side if he wants to eat. I swallow the rat down in a bite or two, it's not a huge meal, but it fills my stomach all the same. I must say I relish in being fed, truly it's a wondrous state to be in, giving the mind time to wander and plan and think. already I feel my scales scratching with a need to expand. MOTHER tells me we will grow quickly here in our first few weeks. Before long we can leave the nest, see the Sun... live.

find a smaller and weaker rat and try to make your brother fight it. if he wins he gets to keep it, if he runs away then you kill it and split it in half. you will only feed him if he at least tries to fight for himself. and he can't run away from looking at it, needs to get bit or something.

>>424896
Yes, find a rat that can not harm him much, and get him to fight it, even if he is weaker he will still need to hunt things.

>>424893
Maybe we can do some tussling with brother to teach him courage. Play-fighting.

>>424896

This, we will be a good older sibling, but we will NOT baby him!

Play-fighting! A marvelous way to warm the little fear-ridden lump into bravery! If he feels he can hold against me, surely a rat or some other small prey will not intimidate him!

I pounce, pinning him down gently enough, rolling end over end further down the cavern. I end up on top, grinning down, fresh rat gore dripping from my fangs. Perhaps the smell of blood will get his hearts thumping as mine do!

He does not seem to engage me. Pitiful.

What a wuss! Give him a thump on the nose, then go chill with MOTHER. Maybe take a nap.

>>425667

Bite him, gently if you can.

Tell him that if he remains weak and cowardly he will be nothing but prey for everything else.

ask mom how to teach him, he needs to at least be able to kill a rat on his own so he can eat when he gets bigger.

>>425667
He's scared of you. Let him up then try again with less force.

I decide he must not know HOW to play, or hunt, or be a dragon just yet.... He was in the shell longer than I was, it could not have been good for his brain. Males being as slow as they are anyhow, he needs my help.

A playful bite on the neck to show him how to use his mouth. Nothing serious, my fangs hardly make contact with his scales! I don't even growl or hiss as I want to, it would scare the poor thing far to much.

He wails.
