[Malas is seeing Sapphiras POV. “Seeing through Sapphiras eyes”]
…Sapphira has shown you a memory.
…One day after the Hatchling Ritual.
Everything was black once more, but this time I felt that I was looking at the darkness rather than being physically inside the darkness. Soon a semi oval shape of light began to shutter slowly as it gradually became bigger and more light began to filter through. Soon everything was bright and an image began to clear up. The Image was of a single, huge, and old Drazilcin looking straight down as if it was making eye contact with each hatchling.
“Ugh. I can still see that ugly grin even now. Hopefully that face doesn’t scare me for the rest of my life. I am going to have nightmares for a while now.”
The old Drazilcin nodded happily and then cleared its throat after it looked around for a bit. “Welcome Hatchlings to this world called Terragem / ter·ə-dʒem /. I am Grand Elder Duleveros, the head leader of all the Arctic Drazilcins in this village. There are other leaders that you haven’t seen yet, but eventually you will get to meet everyone. This wonderful village is located around the Northern Region of the Eosgaia /Ee·ose-guy·ya/ Continent. It is the 145th year of the Second Age and it is early Dawn Cycle. He paused a little before continuing. “You who have just recently hatch into this world, it may seem a bit strange and too much information for your young minds to handle yet, but do not worry. The information we Elders give you will automatically be updated in your own info tab so you may review the information at your own pace.”
“Sweet! I finally have some information that makes actual sense about what is going on. At least now I know where I am and the date. The date looks weird, but at the same time it looks natural. I wonder why?”
“Now, you may wonder how to view your own statistics also known as Stats or other information from the information tablet also known as the Info Tab. It is very simple to open up either one of the information screens. You just have to “think or imagine” the action without saying anything out loud. It may seem strange and confusing at first, but it will come naturally to you like how we all can naturally breathe without thinking. There is no specific command to open it up unless you customize such actions yourself in the Info Tab. Unless you have certain tools or a Special Skill that allows you to see others information, only you can see your own Stat Screen and Info Tab.”

“Oh how convenient. I wish I was told this earlier when I was being born except for the last part. Hmm. I wonder if everyone else saw what I saw at the beginning.”
“Since we are classified as part humanoid, we have higher intelligence then some other monster species or wild beasts, but at the same time…There are other more highly intelligent beings out there. Some are friendly, others will not hesitate to end your life without mercy. Heroes are such beings that go out of their way to "hunt" or "subjugate" anything that isn't Human like. Wild Beast are another group you must be wary of. In a few days’ times, you hatchlings will grow up quickly due to our special species race and being part monster. We live in a dangerous world so our beginning growth rate is high, but once that growth period is over, we slow down and have long life spans compared to short life span species like the evil humans, but not long enough compared to the tolerable Demi-humans. “
“That’s interesting. So, there is more than one type or class of species. I wonder how many more are out there. I wonder if my mysterious knowledge is due to the high intelligence of my race. I have to be careful of the so-called Humans. They sound very dangerous.”
“Now not to bore you to death, I will leave you to use my information as you see fit. I hope you do not waste such gifts. Ah before I forget, you will need to discover and mature your Special Skills on your own. I cannot give you any more information regarding that. You must be careful who you tell and show. One last thing, each one of you who hatched together yesterday are like family. Unity within this village is very important as our village saying goes like this “one is weak, however together we are strong.” Never forget that.
Once again the old Drazilcin looked around satisfied before something caught his attention. "Hmm…That one hatchling in the back…Malas was it? To think he is still sleeping…I guess my smile was super effective…Well whatever, I must get going. My old bones tell me that it is time to take my nap.”
“No thanks to you Grand Elder. You better take responsibility for your actions.”
