Legend of the Armoured Warrior

[tinuviel]

Tiv looks blankly at Ylfnogard, and tilts her head to one side. "Lessons? What sort?"

[X-Kal]

"We have to get ready for the humans to come. Unfortunately, they're not as nice as the other dragons, so we'll need to deal with them appropriately. For now, let's start on some easier things and work our way up. I've set up a few piles of dry wood, so you can practice setting them on fire."

Ylfnogard looks over at mess, who had recently been searching for smoke. "I suppose the first step is the most difficult."

Her eggshell begins to crack...

Awww man I was going to do the whole eggshell thing... Bah, I'm going to stick with it even though it now looks like I've got no imagination of my own

*Slithering about his increasingly cramped confines Jack notices that the grey (It'd be yellow if there was any light) fluid that had been sustaining him was gone. It had been getting smaller for a while and now he was really going to have to do something about it... With a little effort he starts to rock his egg*

[Valancy]

*Valancy thinks she hears something coming from the other side of the grey. Curious, she pokes a little more at the eggshell, until she finds she can see things. Colours, other eggs, and... Valancy thinks to herself... ye gods, what is that creature over there? It's all scaly and has... She looks down at her claws ...claws... like mine... With that thought, Valancy abruptly falls out of her egg.

[Mess]

Mess puffs and puffs and puffs. Still no fire comes out. He looks at Ylfnogard and says, "Yeth, talking take efforth!"

[X-Kal]

Ylfnogard pulls out a tiny feather and tickles Mess's nose. Quickly, he darts into the cave, hoping to avoid becoming a roasted advisor. However, he heard quite a nose from outside, so he assumed that Mess had learned how to breathe fire.

Looking over the eggs, he noticed that Valancy had hatched already. "Hmm, I'm going to have to feed these little ones, soon. Ylfnogard flits outside again, then spots a wild antelope in the nearby clearing. Hoping that nature would take its course inside the dragons, he lured the antelope near the cave, giving the dragons an opportunity for their first combat experience.

[JackZackson]

With much heaving Jack finally gets his egg to tumble from it's nest. A resounding crack is heard and in the inrush of air the mighty hatchling speaks for the first time Ouch

[Valancy]

Valancy hears a noise to one side, and jumps a little. on the down end of the jump, she discovers that she floats down. she wiggles her shoulders and finds... wings! She looks over to the place the noise came from, and sees the newest hatchling plop out of his egg. She begins to look at him intently.

[JackZackson]

Blinking to allow his eyes to adjust to the light Jack manages to focus on a green object in front of him, a few blinks later and it looks to be a scaly quadruped with wings, a racial memory flickers through his mind and he realizes this is what he looks like. He raises a paw curious to see if he has discovered his own reflection

[Valancy]

Valancy, her young attention span very short, soon gets bored with eyeing the green scaly creature in front of her. She begins to smell something... alive. Something delicious. Hungrily, she turns her head toward the antelope. She stares it right in the face as she tries to think what to do with it. It stands very still, but she notice it is trembling all over. She takes an unsteady step towards it; the antelope's fear overtakes it and it bounds away. Valancy lets out a snort of defeat and squats down on her haunches. This is when she becomes aware of a tiny being in the air to one side of her head.
