I remembered someting, I dont know if its a memory, or a bad dream, but I belive it is both.
The sun was high, shining brightly, made the day warmer, and the shadows shorter. A tall cliff, straight into the air, with a few caves leading into it, high above. The trees around were tall enough to reach half the way (whitch is pretty high) and the oldest even higher. In a cave, on the far side of the cliff, out of sight, far from any living creature that wasnt a bug or a mindless lil rodent. In that cave lay a egg, about to hatch. No parent was around, or any other eggs, it might have rolled deeper into the cave by some reason, or it might have been alone. It was me, darkblue egg, with some light blue areas and black dots. A bit dusty.
It did not take me long to brake free of my shell, my limbs were stiff, as I rolled around the floor tryng to make them work. The sun was low, coloring the sky red, when I finally could walk around without tumbling over myself. I found a strange scent in the air, for some reason I liked it, I could almost taste it. It was a smell of burning flesh and bones, acid burn.
As any curious hatchling, knowing nothing of the world around, I followed that scent, it lead me closer to the entrence of the cave, the cave walls seemed to glow red. Then I saw what the smell was, where it came from. There was a pile of burned meat, flesh and bones, scales and tails, horns and claws. Bodies of other hatchlings, that had burned inside out, being born with out the ability to survive, sick and misshapen. They were my siblings, I knew it, their scales where the same color as mine, or what was left of them. Their scent was familiar, reminded my of my own.
A single dragon lay there, seemed untouched by the illness, or the unknown reason for the burning acid. I walked closer to him, he seemed to breath, he was breathing. My simple young mind wanted nothing more than play, explore and company, and understanding of what was going on. I pushed him with my nose, but he did not move, not even turning his head to see who was pushing. I walked over, infront of him, and if I had been closer to the edge, I would have fallen. Half his body was burning with acid, not fast, but still burning, you could see the bones in his face. I stood there in shock, he did not seem to notice me.
I was more confused than terrified, I did not understand death at this point. I despiratly cried for help... but no one came... I lay there beside my brother, the onlyone that lived. I wispered to him that I would try to help him, in any way I could. I wispered it to him until I fell asleep....
in the morning he was dead....
