I feel suffocating, I can't breath, what is going on here. Fu... Fu... I am panicking, drowning is one of the worst death scenario i could think of. It is dark, can't see anything. Yes, my eyes are open. The only thought I have in mind is to try and swim, but that is impossible I am confined, I barly can move my body. I can move my head. In my panic I throw my head against that wall Infront of me. The wall cracks, I try to get that crack bigger, to put my head out of it. I need to breath, I start to feel so exhausted from lack of oxygen.

Haa...Haa...haaa, I got my nose out of that confinement. I have to get out of here and so I try to make that whole bigger, until I can stick my whole head out of it. Only darkness out there, but that does not matter for me, at least I can breath.

After I got some air in my lungs I try to to make my potential exit bigger, I have to get out of here, it is no joke to try to suffocate someone. That feeling is horrible. The crack where I put my head out gets slowly bigger like cracking glass, but there is a slippy film that somehow still holds my confinement together. That film barly is a problem since I at least can breath again.

Taking a few breaths, I push with all my strength I have against that the wall that confines me. With a "crunch" sound everything cracks.

I fall down with my head and hit.... Something dry and soft. I was so exhausted that I could barly move my limbs. Just give me a view minutes to sort out my thoughts. That was a horrible experience.

Still....darkness surrounds me. Where the fu I am? Who am I? I am confused about my own thoughts. Why am I asking me that eaven? Stop that, that thoughts don't help me here. I lift my head and try to look around, better try to find out where I am, even if everything seems so dark around me.

I try to look around and behind me I can see something. It looks like a almost circular opening to a night sky with beautiful stars. Not just stars that look like the light spots you can see.. nooo what I can see is absolut breathtaking. The only comparison I can make is something like a nebular, surrounded by shapes of violet colors.

Äääm.. why can I look behind me with only turning my neck? Uhh. There is enough light, I can see shapes and the surroundings around that circular opening. That's a cave I am in, a really big one if you compare it with that circular cave opening behind me. That opening is maybe about 20 Meter in diameter and about 80 Meter in front of me. But I never was good at calculating distances... still, the cave seems eaven bigger than only the entry part. I can't really tell how much bigger because the rest of the cave behind the entrance is just covered in dark. What is a Meter anyway? Why do I count with that? It does not matter now, I want to move my body.

My body... I am still lie on my stomach on the ground that feels like it is covered with straw. The starlight behind seems to be enough to see the frames of my surroundings and.. egg remains behind me....

Okay.. fine.. I just got out of an egg... My drowning prison was an egg? Seriously? I eat that for breakfast. What is a breakfast? Who knows... I am getting hungry now.

I get distracted to easily. I have to focus on the main issue. My back has scales, a tail and leathery flaps right and left on my back. Yep.... I can see my back just by turning my head around with my very long... neck? Okay fine, let's get up and turn around, in front of me is still only darkness, even if I get slowly used to it so that I can see even more as time goes by. I try to get up and turn around to the cave opening. I need to know my surroundings. So I try to stretch my arms and legs first..what are arms, I meant my front and back legs. What is wrong with me, seems I am still confused.

Okay, on my front legs are 5 claws, my back legs have only 4 claws. Seems somehow a bit asymmetrical......, but who cares. I am now standing on all my 4 legs. I want to get to that cave opening. You know, that beautiful night sky just looks to impressive, so I have to get there. Don't want to see that scenery only through the cave opening. What else should I do? Oh yea.. I am hungry I could eat a whole pig, at least it feels like it. I don't know, but I am sure a pig is something really delicious. In that cave is nothing else I can see because it is barely lit. I have to get to that opening. Turning around and try to get forward i only fall on my snout. Snout? Yea, that elongate thing right under my eyes in front of me.

At least it did not hurt really much, let's try again..... and again.... I think I figured it out now. Left front leg and right back leg should almost go forth at the same time and than the other side. Call me stupid, but I still have to focus on the coordination of my limbs. I hope I don't starve to death to get out of that cave until I reach that opening. It really seems to be a long way to get there. It will take ages to reach that end, but what else should I do? As I was about halfway to the cave opening, witch also was the end of the straw covered floor ground, i can make out a sound that comes from outside. That intimidating sound makes me feel very nervous. The sound gets louder every second and it surly means no good. It sounds very daunting, like some flying predator that is like a 100 times bigger than yourself. That intimidating Aura comes closer and it is not a nice feeling. What should I do? I am not stupid, I have to get back into the cave and try to hide at the very back end of it. I have to do that very fast! There is absolute no way to reach the cave entrance and than hide somewhere there. My best chance of staying hidden is the dark back wall of the cave.

I turn around and walk back to the straw covered ground as fast as I can. Back to where I started my journey. The good part is, I get faster every second I fast-walk into the depths of the cave.

While I try to get there, I almost stumble as I pass an egg that is almost as big as I am, maybe eaven bigger.

As I pass that egg, the flapping sounds that come from the cave entrance are already deafening loud.

The next thing I recognise is a shockwave under my feet, that lets me stumble again. I land on my stomach. It is hard to describe, but there is an aura, a feeling, a presence coming from the cave entrance that can only be described as a feeling that ends your existence.
