My sister was named Ruby and I was named Dantine. Mom's name is Sanguine.

Mommy is sweet next to daddy but she is also a bit violent. Finally daddy pushes her.

He is a monster.

I yelped and it was impossible for me to say anything. My sister, well she copied everything I did and she didn't understand anything, except that I didn't hit her and that she was afraid of mom and dad. But especially dad.

I kept my armor on me all the time and made a helmet that would go with my horns.

The flags were beautiful and I decided to tie a scarf and give it to mom. I climbed on top of her, gave her a hug and tied a nice bow tie, the scarf didn't fit.

I found some charms that were lying around and then daddy came in, tapping his paws and tapping his tail on the side.

"Hey brat, one rule here: the gold is mine alone. Not to your mother, not to you, not to anyone else, okay? Explain to your sister. There will be no more warnings! I crunch and swallow. I can get dragonets all the time."

"And you, the smart one, I warn you, if you're a good-for-nothing, you'll end up like your mother who is my daughter. Hahaha, your mom is also your big sister. And you've been warned. You act stupid, I'll climb on you and if you're a boy, I'll make you lay eggs or you'll be impaled as soon as you're big enough."

"Another rule: I keep you alive on my territory to help me hunt. You flinch or break, I'll find you and eat you like I did with all the others!

HAHAHAHAHA

Now, enough with the baby, it's for the humans. You are a dragon. I'll show you the cave.

You follow me or die.

And you, the other brat, you come too. And you better understand what I'm saying. I never repeat myself! You have to listen to EVERYTHING I say! Even if it's the end of the world, I am your GOD. You live, it's because of me, you breathe, it's because of me.

Stolen novel; please report.

You eat and sleep, it is thanks to me and when you die, it is still thanks to me!"

Father blew and hot, sticky pitch began to form on the walls, burning everything. He walked through the flames, burning pitch sticking to his paws, fire trails advancing in the dark. We had to walk or jump over the flames to follow him into the corridor. Then we arrived in front of a castle entrance.

You see this castle entrance, I tore it out of a castle and took some monkeys to fix it for me in a cave that I carved.

This and the stones melted and hold the gate solidly. It slides perfectly.

"I showed them with my claw what I wanted. At first they didn't understand, but when I swallowed the youngest of them, it was magic, they soon understood. I locked them in the room with the grid and they understood that if they wanted to leave, as they were starving, they dug the drain for their shit and piss.

I made the hole a little bit bigger so that the future residents could not escape.

The pantry. It's mine! and every second thing you hunt is mine! You better get to know my taste soon if you want us to get along.

Here weapons and armors, I don't give a fuck. Only gold counts.

Here, you who are so smart, you just have to make gold with these useless things.

And from here on, at the first gold coins, it's PRIVATE, FORBIDDEN ZONE. This is my gold pile.

Look how beautiful it is. Take a good look at it because it's the first and last time you'll see it.

The female dragons have nothing to say and the males I think I ate them all.

And here, a punishment room and look, a surprise for your mother!

I have a big long chain and if he tries to leave, you'll see!

Here is the brolly pit and you can poke around in there if you like.

You better know how to hunt by the next moon and fly on the second one because on the third one, you come hunting with me, well I hunt you and you try to survive, it's by being hunted that we become good hunters. Beg your mother for anything you want, but you manage.

Now get out of here while I take a nap on my pile of gold and before I mistake you for a snack."

I ran on all fours, maybe five, and was followed by Ruby who was yelping in terror, she didn't understand anything but she followed me holding my tail in her mouth.

But we could see in the dark!

Ruby? can you see me? I said hello and she didn't react, but she sniffed at me and whined.

I stroked her and she purred, holding me close.

Let's go see mom.

Mom was crying, her mouth was bleeding, she had received another terrible blow from dad.

Quickly I found a spring in the cave, in a corner and I took a cloth from a corpse and soaked it with water and ran to mom.

And I dabbed her wound and licked the wound and rinsed it. She let me do it and made little grunts of revenge.

Then I squeezed her horns and managed to make "GROA": MOM in dragonian ! She turned around and licked me tenderly.

She was really beautiful and sweet even with her big horns and scales. Her horns were marked by daddy's sharp teeth.

I soon understood why females have such big horns,It's to prevent the males, brutal like daddy, from breaking their necks during mating. The horns were used to keep the canines away from the fragile neck and the spikes from the back and the neck to prevent the male from having all his weight on them. Poor dragons.

That's what I expected too if we didn't do anything. When he will have exhausted mom, he will devour her or give her as food for his "hunting" and he will climb on us until we die of exhaustion.

I was 1 day old, a little older and knew more than a young adult dragon. But how? Would I have another life before or what? Maybe but now I have to survive. I'll try to soften him up a bit tomorrow, you never know.
