It had been almost a year since I hatched, and my parents gathered me and my siblings to talk to us. My father began by saying " Well, kids, not everything stays the same. I and Scylla need to talk to you. "

We looked up at him, and Mother continued. " Thor, when you reach 2 years of age, you will have to be banished. All of you will. It is the point of being a dragon. Me and Asteropaios will miss you, but it's the way of dragons. " Father continued after her.

" Once gone, you will leave our territory and find one of your very own. You might want to group up, and this is fine, but it is suggested to leave each other when you feel ready. It will be on the same day you were born, an exact year after. Thor, you will be leaving in around a week. " Mother continued after him " You can come back to grab your siblings if you do group up, but you have 2 hours to leave each time. Asteropaios will go get food now. "

And with that, Dad left. We ran off, to go plan. ' We will group up, right guys? ' I asked, and they all nodded. " I'll always be there for you guys. I'd do anything for you guys. " Thor said, and we all hugged. " But which way will we go? " Nimbus asked.

' Whichever way it takes shortest to get away from their territory, and if our home is in the very middle of it, North. ' I said, and it was decided. We waited a while for Dad to come back, and when he did, he dropped two grizzly bears for us to eat. We all began to eat, getting as much as we could consume, and we began to train.

It was mostly like play fighting, but it was the best we could do to train. It had mostly been our routine once I was 6 months old.

I squared up with Thor, and they all cheered for him. We circled each other, and he lunged at me. I quickly turned, sweeping his leg with my tail and pinning him. I lunged my jaws towards his neck, and he faked a crunch, as if I had snapped his neck. I backed up, and told him

' You're doing okay, but you need to predict my moves. Have your paws out and try to grab my tail. ' We began to circle each other again, and he launched at me. I tried the same move with my tail, and he grabbed it. I tried to lunge away, but he pulled me closer with my tail and launched his jaws towards my leg. I kicked him in the face, making him lose his grip on my tail, and I turned away, pawing his eyes as if clawing them, but I had my claws in.

' Blinded and weak, close your eyes. ' I whispered the last bit and he did. " Oh my eyes! I can't see! " He joked playing along. I put my arms around his neck, as if choking him to death. He flopped down and I let him go. ' Good job, but I'm tired. ' I said, and we did our sleep stack just like every time we slept.
