All I saw was darkness. I was in black room, without a single light. How did I get here? I couldn't recall. But where is 'here' anyway!?

I couldn't even tell how long I've been here anymore. All my plans failed.

In this darkness I was alone.

After a long time I was thinking if this is some kind or purgatory and if I am in one, why won't they hurry up!

'But seriously, if this continues, I will seriously go crazy... ' When I thought that, a heavy feeling enveloped me.

For the first time since coming here, I felt really tired. My eyes became so heavy, that I couldn't even open them.

Suddenly, a warm sensation could be felt all around my body. All I could think of was how nice and pleasant it was. There was only one problem...

'I still can't move...'

It was maybe few days since then, but I couldn't even stretch.

I tried to wiggle or turn myself around but all my efforts failed. Yes, I couldn't even wiggle myself like a worm. Just where in the hell am I!?

Asking myself the same question like hundred times, something changed.

'Wait, I can move my finger'

Fufufu, finally. It was the first time I was able to control part of my body since falling asleep.

'Aaaah...how long it has been since I felt this kind of accomplishment.'

I finally can move! Yay! I was seriously happy.

Ah, my small little fingers, they're starting to move. My beautiful little fingers, how I missed sense of touch.

'The sensation of touch after all this time' I almost cried.

Oh my sweet little fingers with claws...

Wait a minute?

'Claws?' My mind screamed. I don't remember having those! I started to panic.

But then, I heard something.

*crack*

'Just what was that now?'

The same noise was heard.

*crack* *crack*

Right when I heard it for the second time, something started shining on me. It was probably sunlight. Even though I couldn't open my eyes, I could feel it. When I was trying to wiggle my way out, it was then: It felt like something breaking under me, that whas the time when I fell out.

'Haaah!' I screamed as I hit something hard. But all that could be heard was sound of some kind of toy.

"Gyaa~!"

Yup, that toy sound was made by me...

After hitting something, the fresh air could be felt on my body. I slowly opened my eyes and what I saw almost gave me a heart attack!

Dark silver lizard was standing in front of me! No, it wasn't a simple lizard... Only one word came to my mind, Dragon!

At first I got startled, but when it gazed at me, I felt warm sensation inside my body. It felt just like when mother was watching her child.

My memory was still fuzzy, I could recall some of my memories of my old 'self' just like huge buildings growing into clouds, but no names, faces of people or where I lived. If I l couldn't recall them, then just who am I?

As I was wondering about these kind of things, the dragon moved closer to me. And then, it spoke!

"My child! My beloved daughter!"

From the atmosphere, I could tell 'it' was my parent. I could feel its positive energy surging from it towards me. She cried in happiness with some unknown language I didn't even heard before, yet I could understand it.

"Gya gya!" I tried to say something, but all that escaped my mouth were adorable toy noises.

"Don't try too hard to speak my daughter Tamariesha, you were just born."

Tamariesha? Is that my name? I could feel that the dragon thinks of me as its daughter... But wait, no no no, that can't be!

I tried to rub my eyes so I could better see but as I tried, small hands covered in darkish silver scales were in my view... A-am I a monster!?

Seeing me panic, the dragon tought I was trying to walk towards her so it started bending its neck towards me to help me. But I didn't wanted to stand, I wanted to run away!

"You were born just an hour ago and now you want to move? As expected of Silverscaled child!"

From its voice, you could feel gentle aura of parent trying to encourage its child.

Well, I still wanted to run away...
