When I first opened my eyes, I only saw darkness, shrouded by the moonlight as it cascaded over the land. It was a wondrous sight, one of the few things I genuinely enjoyed. I might not be the runt, but I'm always treated like I am one, I believe it's because of my color. See my siblings are so colorful, ones blue, the other is red, the next is green, and then me who is a dark blue-ish black. Mom didn't like me much either, my eyes are purple, witch she considers and evil color so dad always takes my side when I'm in trouble. Sometimes I try to play with my siblings but every time they gang up on me or ignore me completely, so usually I just hit rocks or chase butterfly's.

The day after my siblings and I were born dad took us hunting, he said that the earlier we start the better since we will have more experience then the rest, usually others start a week after they are born. Any who, dad taught us how to sneak up onto our target and how to make the finishing blow when our target is down. My siblings and I made a little game wile looking for something to hunt, the first person to kill something and bring it back to dad, gets bragging rights over the others. This could be my chance to finally get some respect or be on the same place with my siblings instead of below!

We race off into different directions as fast as our little claws could carry us. My tactic is to go farther out since they will be fighting over the same area while I have my own area to myself. The only downfall is that there is a lager area between me and dad, witch means they have a better chance at taking my prize, but I'm willing to take that chance. Quickly I spot a lizard tail out of the corner of my eye and slowly stalk it. It must have been trying to hide since it was behind a big bolder, my siblings must have chased it out here, I got to catch it before they find it!

Quickly I pounced on the lizard's tail and was then lifted into the air. Turns out that lizard's tail was a dragon's tail and I just happened to piss him off. He was a dark red, his eyes brown but clearly full of hatred. Suddenly I was flung into the air and the dragon lunged his unhinged jaw towards me, but he wasn't able to get all of me. Luckily dad was able to bash into the dragon before he could eat me but it's not like he didn't hit me, he scathed my eye as dad hit him.

Dad and the dragon started lashing at each other and then dad accidentally hit me with his tail and I was thrown into the river. He tried to get me but the other dragon kept distracting him. I tried to grab onto the ground nearby but the river kept swiping me farther and farther. Eventually I was able to get ahold of a log that was sticking out of the ground but after I grabbed it, it popped out and hit me on the head. After that, the world went black and I was casted into a dream.
