Story Of Jolts

I crawled out the sizzling crackling broken egg and peered around the smoke filled cave, I squeaked silently and a violent force knocked me out of the cave and over the sharp rocks below. Luckily I landed on the flat rocks and broke my leg and my wing. Limping away I started to cry. I had been hurt badly and my bones poked through my skin. Limping toward the giant buildings and crawled to the giant doors. A few guards stepped out in front of me with their red armor their yellow eyes glinted through the helmet and their red scales showed through the chinks in their armour their yellowish underbelly told me it was a SkyWing.

“Look at the little poor hurt dragonet” one of the guards said without remorse

“Ha! He has a broken wing and leg!” He snapped back at the other guard

“Well what do you want me to do about it?” The first guard asked back

“You know what I expect you to do about it BRING IT TO THE MEDIC” The second guard shouted at him and hit him on the back of the head with a shield

“Yes sir!” he walks over to me and put me on his back. He spreads his wings and flies over to the medic tent where the other SkyWing warriors were being healed.

“Take that piece of garbage outta here!” The medic yelled at the guard who had brought me in. “Then you might as well get out yourself” The guard talking back at the medic and the medic looks at my wing and leg “Ok ok I will give him a fix up but only this once” He snarled at the guard carrying me on his back. He places me on the medical bed and starts to get to work. First, resetting my wing into the right place. I roar and I breath out fire almost burning the warrior next to me. Then, he fixes my leg and I chomp on the medic’s hand he places a cast on my wing and my leg.

“There happy now?” The medic asked the guard who had brought me here “Yes, now please continue to do whatever you were doing to the wounded warriors” He told the medic. The medic salutes him and the guard carries me away on his back. “What’s your name little one?” he asked me, no response. “Do you have a name little one?” He asked again and again I did not respond. “Guess he can’t talk” mumbled the guard under his breath and he brought me into this huge building that’s inside was covered entirely with gold sheets and even the chair with a person sitting on it.

“My queen” The guard bowed “Who’s that disgraceful NightWing on your back?”. The queen would ask in an unfriendly tone. “I don’t know he can’t talk” the guard replied “Can’t or won’t?” asked the queen sharpening her claws on the arm of the glittering throne “I don’t know my queen he might’ve just hatched” the guard told her “Just hatched?” she asked “Yes, my queen just hatched” he told her again. “So I didn’t need to kidnap that firescales dragonet?” she asked “Yes, my queen you didn’t need to” he told her “well i’m keeping both of them separately”. she had mischievous grin on her face and the guard put me in the chair next to her.

“It’s okay my little dragonet. You’re safe with me” she said as I squeaked and looked at her face. She had yellow eyes like all the SkyWings except her scales were blood red.

“A squeaker eh? We’ll deal with your squeaking little one” she said as she pat the area between my blue horns with her claws.

“Wait you’re head horns are blue? I have never see such color of horn not even on SeaWings” I squeaked again in response and I sat in her chair to look at the door and she noticed the horns down along my back were also a bluish color.

“We might need to look into why you’re horns are blue and not white… Guards!” she called for her guards and they stormed into the palace

“Yes my queen?” they asked standing with their razor sharp spears.

“Take this dragonet to the labs and see why his horns are blue” she ordered them

“Yes my queen” They picked me up and brought me to this room where test tubes were bubbling and a giant test tube had a weirdly shaped dragon in it, It had no legs no arms and no wings and it looked strange, the room glowed an eerily green stained by the green fire heating the test tubes. The only dragon in their was some scientist guy.

“Hello guards what have you brought me today?” he asked inquisitively

“We got a NightWing with blue horns and the queen wants to know why he has this color for his horns and underbelly scale color” Guard number 1 explained

“Ahhh yes the blue underbelly scaled one I’ve been waiting for him to stop by for awhile” he said energetically

“Wait you’ve been ‘waiting’ for someone like this to come by?” Guard Number 2 asked squinting at him.

“Yes this is one of my first genetically engineered dragonets he is a very special dragonet with powers even exceeding a thunderstorm” he said smiling maniacally

“So you’re telling me… this dragonet is genetically engineered?” asked Guard Number 1. I squeaked at the scientist and he walked over to me and put his hand between my horns “He was born like this I just modified him when he was in his egg weeks ago” he smile at me with his sharp toothy smile.

“You are a sick Psycho you scientist” Muttered the second guard as the first guard lashed out

“You messed with my egg! You made him a freak of nature!” she started stabbing the scientist with the spear and the blood splattered all over me. I squeaked in fear and hid behind guard number 2’s leg

“DIE SCIENTIST MAN DIE!” she yelled still stabbing the spear into his chest.

I crept out of my hiding place looking like a storm cloud and I tapped her shoulder and she lashed at me and yelled “WHAT DO YOU WANT! Oh it’s just you and you’re scared of something what are you scared of?” she asked I squeaked “Aww you’re scared of me lashing out violently” she said looking me in the eyes. I turned away and looked at the guard whose name I didn’t know still. I’d squeak at my mother again and she’d lift me in her arms. “He’s so cute!” she’d say nuzzling me. I’d squeak sounding a bit tired that showed I was ready to sleep. “Aww he’s tired” she’d say as I fell asleep in her arms.

I’d wake up an hour later to see my mother sleeping and a piece of meat in the hay with me. I’d tear it to shreds with my razor sharp teeth and pretty soon I was hungry again. Another dragonet had snuck in and I had not noticed him. He appeared to be wearing black cloth that covered his red scales and a visor that hid his piercing yellow eyes. He was nearly invisible in this light and he whispered, “Hey kid you over there hey blue horns!” he’d call to me and I’d walk in the direction the voice was calling from. I’d trip on my mothers tail and whimper as I landed on the knee near the area I had broke my leg.I’d get up and walk over to the near invisible kid. I’d squeak at him and he’d notice I had only been born on that day and couldn’t understand what I was saying.

“Nevermind… Wrong cave” He’d say flapping his wings silently flying out of the cave. I’d squeak my first word as he left

“Bye…”

I had fallen asleep hungry and my mom was in the cave watching sure nothing came in to hurt me. She’d have a fire cooking and there would be several slices of Meat were frying over the fire. I’d squeak a silent hello as I walked up to my mom she’d gasp with excitement.

“You can talk!” she’d exclaim loudly. I’d squeak and hide behind a stalagmite and peeked at her.

“Aww too loud?” she’d ask softly I’d squeak and nod my head. I’d smell burning and point to the fire which was starting to burn the meat.

“Oh great…” she’d say removing the meat from the fire I’d chop down on one piece of meat she had just removed from the fire but it didn’t burn at all and she’d put the meat down and I’d tear it to shreds.

“Gee you sure are hungry aren’t ya?” she’d ask me and I’d nod.

“Here have some more…” she said as she tossed me more meat that I’d also tear to shreds.

“Yummy!” I’d shout and run over to her almost running her over with my weight I was 2 and I weighed 465 pounds like a normal dragonet would.
