My first work ... hopefully it will be entertaining enough for all the great folks of the interwebs ;) 

That ten years of idyllic life, how i long for them to come back.

That ten years of living with mama and papa, no hardships, no pain, no nightmares, no danger.

That ten years of love, safety, happiness.

That ten years are gone and will not return, that i am sure of.

After my parents disappeared and i almost starved myself like an idiot waiting for them to return

from their hunt. But hey, don't hold my stupidity against me. What is a hatchling ten years old supposed to know? 

Was i not supposed to believe my parents to come back?

Was i not supposed to be too young to hunt for myself?

Were my parents supposed to simply disappear one day without any warning?

No! I will survive! I will LIVE!!!

I WILL BE STRONG !!!

And one day i will find my parents, that i swear to myself.

But for that, i have to learn so many things, to hunt (in progress/limited success), to find my way

anywhere (failing miserably/ YES I AM LOST AGAIN!!! GRRR!!!),  to identify danger 

(that damn Spiketail hurt... I mean Really?!? Those spikes CAN pierce my scales???), and so many 

other things i could think about them for entire days , but that would not help me much.

Ah , but where are my manners , mama would scold me if she saw me right now.

My name is Tramas and as you might have surmised , i am a dragon hatchling.

Yes! A dragon! The most powerful and majestic of all the creatures ever!

... the most ... powerful ... 

What could have happened to my parents?

Are they not the pinnacle of power?

Are they not smartest of the creatures around?

And there is two of them! WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM ?!?

... YES I AM ANGRY!, WHO WOULDNT BE ?!?

... yes i am sad and lonely ... /sniff/ ... and scared.

Scared of being alone.

Scared of never being capable as my parents wer... ARE!!!!

Scared of never finding them.

So i am scared and lonely.... SO WHAT?!? I AM A DRAGON! I AM Strong.... -ish.

I am a hatchling after all.

Small, weak, stupid... well, in terms of knowledge, i have not learned much yet, BUT! i AM learning!

And i am learning fast! I am a smart boy after all! Both mama and papa always said so!

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

... Well sometimes they said that i am too smart for my own good , whatever that means.

/heh/ ... i can do it! ... YES! , i WILL survive on my own and find them ... wherever they are.

SO! Back to my daily grind! What will i have today for dinner? ... A scalehoof? Crawler? Spiketail?...

Nope! NO spiketail for me! I learned my lesson! No more spikes in my face , thank you very much!

AH! a scalehoof! And its alone! ... i wonder why.

Well , never mind , its big enough to fill me today and maybe even tomorrow.

Stay close to the ground, slowly, patience, just like daddy taught you, You are the hunter!

Closer .... closer , it still didn't detect you ... a little closer ... AH! It feels something! NOW!!!

HA! WHO IS THE HUNTER? ME!!! HAHA!!....

...

... papa ... thank you for your knowledge. mama , thank you for your patience.

/sniff/ ... I will be strong ....

----------------------------------------

--And so our little dragon gorged himself on his tasty prey while here and there a tear rolled from his eyes.

----------------------------------------

Well , scalehoofs are tasty , so i will bring the half that was left with me.

Would be a waste to leave it to other creatures around. Lets see , what to do to get stronger?

... I have to get stronger to find and possibly save my parents.

I mean , what can overpower TWO adult dragons? Heh, what can a single hatchling even do?...

No! I will be powerful enough to not be afraid of anything! I am smart! I will grow! ... 

... please be safe mama and papa ... and wait for me .../sniff/

----------------------------------------

-So our little dragon continued on his journey to power and his quest to find his parents.

It has been over a month since his parents disappeared, but he quickly adapted to his new circumstances 

and learned to live day by day, but can he be strong enough? Smart enough? ... Time will tell.

And so the time passed, and our lost little winged lizard learned, grew and journeyed onward.

But no matter how much he looked , how he searched , he could not find his parents.

Not even a trace remained and so he went further and further from everything he knew and love.

Ever onward , ever further.

In mere week spiketails were no danger to our little lizard friend, he is a smart little thing after all.

Well , small for a dragon, or so he thought, but truth is that Tramas is much bigger than he should be

for his age. His parents took great care of him, but even so , he is still bigger than any dragon his age.

Almost one third bigger in fact ... and with size naturally comes strength and power.

But see, no one told him, so our not so little dragon is not aware of his relative power to his peers.

Not that any are around, since his parents valued their privacy and space, they decided to make

a lair far away from their kin. Alone in the wildlands far to the south, where no one would bother them.

By stroke of luck , or maybe some long forgotten instinct, Tramas headed north. Where his kin could be found.

Will he find help? Will they even be willing to help? Will he survive the journey?

Well... at the pace he is taking it will take him couple years, but that may be for the better.

I wish you luck little... well not so little dragon.

Hopefully my little blessing will help you on your journey through life.

--Blessing of ;@+_!1: received--

... What was that ?!? ... WHO SAID THAT !?! ... Weird ... Maybe i am going insane , heh ... that was a 

weird screech ...

----------------------------------------

worse. No matter, sleep well little dragon, i wish you well.
