Ember sat idol next to a nest with a single egg in it. Her now adolescent daughter sat beside her. Sadly, Sothul was a slow learner and was unable to comprehend some words and concepts. While her brothers thought and acted like regular teenagers, Sothul simple was slower.

"Mom," Sothul began. "Where is the dragon in the back of the cave?"

"I won't be needing him anymore." Answered Ember. "Your father said I needed to have another girl. You won't suffice for Litus."

Sothul struggled to grasp Ember's explanation. "I don't understand."

"No need to." Ember said, standing to front her daughter. "I just need to kill you. You won't even bare children if you tried."

Sothul remained motionless as her mother approached her. "I don't wanna die, mom."

"Be honored, daughter." Ember growled. "Maybe daddy will show you the love he feels for all his children..."

Pinning her daughter's neck against the ground with her claws, Ember bit down on Sothul's jugular and snapped her neck, killing her. She then dragged the heavily bleeding body back inside the dark cave.
