maybe...🪼

...you should listen to the nice boy

"You wanna run that by me again, compadre?"
"It's your own bloody fault-"
"I don't care whose fault it was! I want you to repeat what you just said to me!"
"I said that because you're internal structure has come in contact with the blood of a female dragon, the mixture of DNA will cause you to birth a dragon."
Silas von Lagon, leader of Dragon Extermination Unit No. 12, Nest Destroyers, let go of the young boy as he sank to his knees in confusion and anger.
"You're shitting me, kid." He looked up at him and pointed. "You've been poisoned by these dragons for so long that their blasphemy has twisted your mind... yes, that's it..."
"I assure you, DEU-man, that's not the case. This is fact."
Silas gave the boy a hard glare with his green eyes. "It is not fact."
"Fine. You can believe me or not, but one thing that is fact is that you killed a female dragon and got some of her blood inside of you. I've given you warning; whether you heed it or not is not my problem." The young boy began to walk away but turned back around. "Oh, and by the by, the pregnancy of a dragon is quite hard even for a full sized one so... the fact that you have such a small body may not be good in the end. That, and dragon pregnancy is an oxymoron: it's quick and long."
Silas snarled and stood back up, running after the boy. He grabbed his shoulder and mad him turn around, staring down at him.
"How old are you, kid?"
"I'm twelve but what's it to you, DEU-man?"
"Stop calling me that. You're human too so why are you defending them? The dragons?"
The boy pulled his shoulder from Silas. "For your information, the dragons have treated me with much kindness, unlike the species I call my own. I was sacrificed to the dragons by my whore of a mother, who didn't want me because pregnancy is bad for whoring, you see. Off of a rumor she had heard, she came to the mountains and offered me up as a sacrificial trade. She got what she wanted and I was raised here."
"That means you have sympathy for these creatures then."
"Well of course I do, idiot! These creatures have raised me right and proper and kind... unlike people like the DEU." He spit on the ground at Silas' feet. "Curse you and all your squads."
"Hey now! We protect people from dragons!"
"Oh yeah?" The boy took out a small leather notebook and flipped through the pages, adjusting his glasses. "Squad 12, right? Nest Destroyers; which means you literally come in and destroy unborn dragon eggs. You people are murderers! Everyone reveres the Dragon Extermination Units has blessings from the gods but when we do the same thing to villages and towns out of revenge or fear, we are considered the monsters. It's different when it isn't you, right? That's how humans are."
Silas really couldn't argue with the boy because he had often wondered if their infiltration of dragon nests and such wasn't in direct correlation to them fighting back. But that didn't matter right now...
"Look, kid, we're just doing our duties as set out by the king."
"Yeah? So what did this mother dragon do to you, Knight von Lagon?"
Silas lifted a gray eyebrow. "You know me?"
The boy looked at him with a devious glare. "Oh yeah. Here in Krellis, your name is the one we use to keep the dragonlings in line." He growled impressively. "Yeah, we fucking know your name Nest Destroyer. You never answered my question: what did she do to you to make you kill her?" he said, gesturing to the fallen purple and black dragon.
"She threatened us."
"After you invaded her nesting ground and started bashing the eggs in, you bastard." He then got a smug look on his face. "You deserve every agony that's coming to you Knight on Lagon. I never thought I'd revel in the thought."
"It's just a myth, boy!"
"There's been others it's happened to. I'm sure it's in the records." He began to walk away again. "Tick, tock, Knight von Lagon... I never said it provided an escape."
