Currently, I sit in a giant metal cage that was adorned with fluffy pillows, contemplating life with my brother. Why am I doing there, you ask?

Well, I suppose let's begin from the very beginning.

A normal dragon hatchling tends to spend their first 4-5 years in their eggs, I was a late champion that hatched the latest, my own mother assumed I was dead.

Greeted by a fire breathing scaly thing that towered over me upon opening my eyes, I naturally released my first puddle of pee.

After that horrifying greeting, I met my brothers and sisters, all of them not bothering to look at their youngest sibling. From then on, we learnt many things form mother, what we were, what we can do and what a cruel world this was.

Dragons were once a mighty race, worshipped by some and feared by most, but our downfall came with a few reasons, two of which was by our vitality and greed. Dragons pillaged and raped, leaving deformed descendants that never lived long enough and received hatred from the very countries that we brought down with our claws and mighty breath.

The other was caused by our ability to change our race, as the hatred grew from the other races, we had to go into hiding by transforming to other races to prevent them from chopping apart our scaly form, making ourselves indistinguishable by both our own race and others.

The last reason was our strength and the magic of the other races, it was possible to enslave dragons with magic, since we had great power, countries in war would actively participate in dragon hunting hoping to change their situation.

Strangely Inioth, our mother, was able to find one of her own kind and mate, creating us, probably the first brood of pure blooded dragon in a few hundred years.

There was seven of us, a rather large brood was what mother said we were. After a year from my hatching, we were exposed to a world much bigger then the damp cave we hatched in, a place with a big blue sky.

Upon leaving the cave, mother taught us how to fly and hunt from the nearby forest, our victims usually goblins or beasts.

The next 6 years were spent happily, our own food came from our own hunting which benefited us as we gained experience in hunting and fighting, we had to move a few times though, since we were somehow tracked by a group of elfs.

After crossing the 6 year mark, my five 7 year old siblings who had hatched a year earlier gained their first form they could take in sir young lives and left with the task mother had gave them, which was to finish an education properly in any country that they wished to go and in return of completing it, they would receive a name from mother.

I was left with my last sibling, a blood red dragon with a great amount of brute strength with a hobby of hunting and a towering figure the size of a 2 cows, while I, a blue dragon 2 times smaller than my brother whose strength was average had a hobby of sleeping,

Reaching the age of 7 a year later, mother sent us off with the same task, though by some cosmic coincidence, brother and I had the same race forms, beast men.

Well, minus that "men" at the back for my case, despite the fact that I was a male as a dragon, I received the from of a fluffy white beast female child cat, which I did not really mind, since the fluffy tail was great for hugging to sleep.

My brother, however, was much more scary looking, a tiger beast male child that was much stronger than I was, well although I wasn't sure how the tiger part worked, but the look really fits a brute like my brother.

Since we were of the same race in our first forms, we headed together towards the north, where the beast men's kingdoms resided.

But instead of safely reaching the beast men kingdom, we somehow directly walked to the human's borders.

Confused, we were caught was trespassers and sold as slaves, a interesting development if I say so myself.

I did find out later that we actually had to walk around the human borders to reach the beast men kingdom.

Well, during the process of using slave magic on us, we were found out to be dragons and the whole slave market was in an uproar. Excitedly, they dragged us in our dragon forms which we had take on as commanded by them with their slave magic to the king.

And currently, we were just sold to the king, who by cosmic coincidence had recently summoned 2 heroes from another world.

Despite my willingness to spend the rest of my days in that cage which I suppose I wasn't really against, since they had those fluffy things called pillows that was similar to my tail in its plush texture and also great food, overall I give it a 11/10. I was dragged out and presented along with my brother to the king and the heroes.

After a fight among the two heroes, I, the smaller dragon was given to the one that fought halfheartedly.

Dragging me in front of the hero, who's eyes were like those of the dead fishes I ate before, I became his familiar and was forced to change into my other form, which greatly changed the here's eyes into one burning with desire and motivation while the other one looked slightly jealous back and forth my tiger beast men brother and me.

I wonder why?
