I was tired of fish and dreamed of having vegetables and cooked steak.
Ancalagon said to me. "You can fly but you can't fight or hunt and even less run away from archers and soldiers. Let's not talk about dragon hunters..."
She was right all along.
"Besides, you don't know how to articulate."
I was defeated by this announcement.
"Today we're going to hunt fallow deer."
I was asking Ancalagon to tan the skin.
????
The three of us flew off and inspected the area.
On the count of three it was easier. We had to shut up and watch. And don't let our wings whistle.
Ancalagon was in the lead and in the background, on his right it was me and at the end Leucaruth on his left, in the background.
Our training was soaring.
We went to the spots spotted a few days earlier and she nodded at me to say that she had spotted game.
She passed low above the herd and Leucaruth told me "fold them back with me: you on the right and me on the left"
We had to flap our wings while on the spot and the herd started to flee to the clearings a little further away.
The herd began to descend the hill and found themselves in open grasslands, hoping to escape the black dragon and the red dragon.
Then, as bright as lightning, Ancalagon made a loop and in a split second, a fallow deer was picked without even the others noticing anything. There must have been about 50 of them!
She released her dead prey further away and set out to do it again, but she gave way to Leucaruth and came to join me:
"Did you see the technique in common? It's easy here, everything's clear. But if you are alone, it's the same except that you have to work on your surprise technique. You must master the pinhead figure well and climb up. Except if it's too heavy, you crash and if it's too light, you miss your target.
Look closely at your little sister She dives like a buzzard, with her wings folded down and she rears up at the last moment, taking advantage of the speed to climb up and the effect of the wings to push up.
Your claws must be spread as far apart as possible to limit the rate of capture error and as soon as you feel on the palm, the target, you squeeze with all your strength to kill the prey that will otherwise struggle but also bite and especially to shorten its suffering and hear its complaints.
I said, "Complaints?"
You'll see later. You will balance the pain of your stomach against the pity you will feel for your prey. My stomach won. I follow the precepts of our dragon goddess.
Wait! Wait!
There you go! Did you see that? Its very important angle of arrival for the speed of takeoff and take its prey with it.
Now your turn!
Leucaruth took her place near her sister and I had to take the position indicated by my older sister!
"Faster! Faster! Amphisbeame!"
I was scared! I was scared!
The ground was getting closer and I pulled out my greenhouses as much as I could and climbed up by hitting next to them and pulling out a clump of grass. I hurt myself a little bit, but that's the experience!
I tried another approach again but the targets were zigzagging in all directions and my two sisters could laugh when they saw me miss, miss and miss again!
"Leucaruth: HAHAHAHA: You're disarticulated and you should see yourself! It's hilarious. You should go and offer your services to the farmers to fend off their fields... HAHAHAHA!"

My sisters turned in a circle to keep the herd and in rage I rushed forward and whipped my tail to aim better and CHACK I had my first suede and then I heard: "PITIE DRAGON PITIE
My sisters turned in a circle to keep the herd and in rage I rushed forward and whipped my tail to aim better and CHACK I had my first suede and then I heard: "PITIE DRAGON PITIE........."
I was now at an altitude of 300 meters and I was surprised to drop the fallow deer that was killed on the spot.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" made the loops: "You had mercy and you still accidentally killed him "HAHAHAHAHA!"
Vexed, I went, "MPH!!!!!"
Leucaruth:" Oh, the naughty little boy, he's all upset! Because he let go of his hahahaha prey"
Me: GRRRRRRR
I went back and grabbed the herd leader, the one with his most beautiful woods, and I did like Ancalagon, letting my instincts take over and I felt my claws penetrate the flesh and crush life in the heavy suede. I squeezed so tightly that I heard CRAK,
He didn't have time for a complaint and it was better that way.
The steak on the plate doesn't say pity!
We picked up the prey, each 2 and as we were not very far from a river, Ancalagon showed me
"Amphisbaene, if you love blood, now is the time to suck it, otherwise, to transport the prey, unless you love guts, we empty it in the river and it feeds the fish that will feed you. This is the life cycle. That's why you have to empty your guts upstream so that the remains feed the fish, bottom carp and sturgeon."
Then she held the suede by her wing clip and the big leg clamp, she gutted the suede and emptied the contents using the tail knife, sharp, flat like a kitchen knife and sharp like a razor blade.
When the interior was emptied, she cut the hooves and bony parts without flesh and removed the head.
"So, the meat keeps better if you are interrupted by something, you also keep other predators away, especially during naps and and also you reduce the weight by almost half for transport. and IMPORTANT THING with hunters:
They find the caves by following the blood trail of the prey using dogs.
They sometimes "offer" especially greasy and heavy prey to delay the dragon, and they use the bloody trail to track it down and kill it.
So I understood the importance of hunting experience and caution.
We went back to the lair and they wanted to eat it raw but I cooked my meal on the fire on a skewer (on a wood) and it was tasty. But it changed me and I had to pass beautiful pieces of the butcher to this bloody mass where I had to empty, gut and remove the skin myself.
I even started looking for salt and pepper, but there was none.
The cave was cleaned with a flame and we went swimming at the lake to remove traces of blood.
Then Leucaruth took branches from young branches of fir trees and said to me: "Here, it removes the smell of blood! Rub yourself with this and you'll smell like a HEHEHE tree! (She was all red and I could see she wanted me). But I was still human inside and these kind gestures towards me annoyed me a little bit but I had to respect their sensitivity.)
It was getting dark and I could see really well in the dark and the prey looked like bright red and blue Christmas ornaments. It would even be easier to hunt at night!
Then, on a busy day, with a full stomach, stories were told about the fire and Ancalagon told us that our dragon ancestors had come here long before man and long before mammals, at the time of the great sharp edges and that the first dragons had come from the stars and his mother always showed a star that showed the north.
"See, our ancestors come from this star. From here it still shines but seen from here there is only light left. She could already be dead! We've already tried to fly to the stars to escape the men but there's not enough air left at some point and it's too cold, all dark and we don't go up and exhaust ourselves."
I: "Yes, I learned that, but people went to the moon one day with a flying tower, a rocket. It has an engine that grows in the void and allows you to travel to the stars, but the distances are so great that it is impossible to go too far."
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

My sisters had put themselves in a little chair with me between them on the nest.
It was out of the question for her to have her own nest....
I wanted to call but I was too good with my treasures to move.
Their serpentine tongues touched mine from time to time and I found it more fun than sensual.
But with each contact, they held me tighter so tight that we could hear our hearts beating and, strangely enough, they synchronized!
I loved them and very slowly, I began not to regret my human envelope anymore.
Our bodies thus against each other provided us with a soft warmth, added with the embers of fire and the silence of the night. Moreover, I was no longer afraid of bites because I was now the one who would be scary!
Let a nightmare come forward if it dares! I'd bite it!
Lost in these thoughts I let myself go and heard like children playing in the grass, like angels and they took me by the hand and we went to a valley full of flowers to reach a small lake where we played in the water.
My dream continued like this all night long and in my dream, a big bird stood at the top of the hill and shouted!
COCORICOOOOO!
"I opened my eyes and it clicked!"
Rooster... hens..... Eggs!
Boiled eggs!"
Today I'm going to make myself a henhouse!
The problem is, I thought out loud
and instead of snoring I had a offensive sound: "SNORT! MMPPPHH WHOUAAHAHAHAHA!"
Ancalagon said to me, all applauded: "You start strong in the morning!!!!!"
One day passed, then the next and the next. Nothing but happiness!
I hope it lasts! Every year I spent there would bring me closer to my parents!
We were carefree and yet they trained me to be myself, to become a real dragon!
And they were successful...
