#1 of Stories from Sleazan

This story is about my main character, Tylbo Dergun, and how he found his family. This story takes place in my universe, Sleazan, an earth-type planet.


Chapter 1: The newborn

Tylbo has always been a dragon for himself. There is no wonder in that, he hatched alone in a ruined cave, grew up alone, lived alone for a long time. Over the years, he had a lot of pain, but he was still the cheerful and friendly dragon we knew. This story tells to you Tylbo's past.

We could see a ruined, slightly broken cave that looks like an old dragon nest. Not so long ago hatched eggs... It seems they had to leave in a hurry because of the collapse. Wait! One of the eggs hasn't hatched yet, but it's not damaged because of the collapse. Here lies lonely and waits for the right moment to hatch and then we can see the little dragon.

You can easly determine the color of the child from the color of the egg. The following colors were on the egg: most of it was green in a bluish shade; followed by a yellow with greenish shade; at the end, there were 2 types of blue: dark and light.

The hours have passed, but the egg didn't move. Maybe it could be injured during the collapse? Although there is a chance to hatch a few days or weeks later, than the other offsprings, but it is rare. Not only because it does not happen many times, but also because the unhatched eggs are usually put out from the cave and eaten by the scavengers. This did not happen in this case, because of the dragons left the nest in a hurry, but the dragon smell still flowed out of the cave, so no one dared to approach it.

The days have passed. Suddenly the egg started to move. At first, it was only small moves, but then a leg appeared, and another, and two more. Then a head and finally the whole creature. He looked around everywhere. But he could not see anyone, only the cold, broken eggs and the collapse. Which suggested that, they had to left the cave a long time ago, so he has to grow up alone.

When he was confronted with it, he began to roar in his anger and sadness. But as soon as he started, he stopped it because he didn't want to draw attention to himself. But the wild animals were run away from the fright.

As the days passed, the little derg learned more and more. He learned how to hunt, there are some plants that are nutritious, not everyone is an enemy and, if necessary, he must know how to back down, hide, not to show up, because it can comes into his life. Though he could not speak yet, only to make voices, because there was no one who would taught him to speak.

Already almost a year passed, he is still the lonely survivor, even though he has grown a lot since he hatched from the egg. He went hunting because he was out of meat. When he returned, he saw two strangers who approached his cave. The two strangers are not belonging to the same species for the sight, but he did not know because he had not seen such creatures yet. They traveled together and talked in some common language. He didn't see anything threatening to them, but he was afraid they would hurt him. So there was nothing to do, sneaking behind them and watching them go from there.

The two strangers reached the cave where Tylbo lived. When he saw this, he was frightened about they will go in and they will make a mess, so he stepped out of his hiding and he roared.

Tylbo: - Rawr!

The two strangers turned back and looked at eachothers, but he saw on them that they were not afraid. That's why he tried to scare them once more, but he was a little more more shy this time.

Tylbo: - Ra-awr! ...

They didn't look at eachother this time. One of them started going towards him. He was frightened of this and began to going back until he hit a tree. Meanwhile he hissed to them to leave him alone.

The stanger approached him with his hand outstretched. Meanwhile, he said something in a resting tone. Tylbo didn't know what to do. He was afraid, but he didn't want to leave the cave, because they might go in, so he continued the hissing and the trying to go back, but it was useless.

The next moment, he noticed that the figure, who is approaching him, touched his nose. And ... Petting him? "Yes, it's petting. But why is a stranger petting me? I don't trust in him, but it feels so good..." Tylbo was carried him away, he turned to his back and lost in the joy of petting.

Tylbo: - Graaawr...

Let's see who are these two strangers can be. And at all, how could they get here? Salty, the dolphin and his old friend, Xuryxxor, X in short, the rapper Xenomorph are walking in a forest far away from their home, towards a cave they have been looking for a long time now, but they have never came there, so far. Maybe today is the day when they finally get there.

Finally they reached their goal, they were at the cave. They would have just started to enter the cave when they heard a dragon roar behind their backs. They turned back to check how big danger they are at. Then They looked eachother to let the other know that there was no problem, because it was just a dragon cub.

The cub was once again roaring at them, but they could easly heard that he was not as brave as before.

Salty spoke softly: - I'll go and pet him.

He headed towards the dragon with his hand stretched out. But the cub backing from Salty toward the tree behind him and hissed continuously.

Salty: Relax, don't be afraid from me. I'm not going to hurt you.

These and other soothing phrases spoke out of his mouth until he reached what he wanted.

The dragon stopped for the first time, but then he let go himself and almost immediately was on the ground to let Salty to pet his belly.

Salty: - See? You don't need to be afraid.

X: - It's okay, you're petting him now, but if the cub is here, then where's the mama?

Salty: I think my poor cub has no parents, because in other case we wouldn't live a long time ago.

X was trying to react seriously, but in the end he laughed: Speak only in your name!

Salty laughed too. After the big laughing, they remembered that the dragon cub was all alone. So both of them were became sad, quite enough to Salty stopped the petting.

Tylbo didn't understand what they were laughing at. Especially because he doesn't understand what they are talking about. But when they looked at him with a sad face, and who had petted him so far, stopped it for some reason. Tylbo felt that they were talking about him. So he turned his head sideways, signaling his obscurity.

He felt why they could look at him that way, so he jumped up and headed towards his cave. When he reached the entrance, he looked back to see if they followed him, but they were still looking at him. Tylbo wondered why they didn't come, so he spoke up.

Tylbo: - Rawr?

The two strangers realized this and started moving towards his direction.

Salty and X just watched the dragon cub who suddenly got up and walked towards his cave. They just watched what he was doing. But suddenly he stopped in front of his cave entrance, questioningly looking back at them and roaring out. From this they knew they had to follow him.

When they went into the cave. They saw the fallen part, the broken eggs and the mess that received them there. They concluded that he was the only survivor of a natural disaster that he might don't know yet.

When they processed it, they stepped closer to the little one, hugged him and they whispered him something together:

Salty and X: - Welcome to our family.

The little dragon didn't understand what was going on here. He only saw that they were looking around and then hugging him and saying something that made him feel safe. So he put his head in their hands to return this feeling.

Chapter 2: The reunion

It has been 10 years since Salty and Xuryxxor found Tylbo. He was learn how to speak, he got the Tylbo name. He grew up and they even renovated the cave. Fortunately, they didn't find any bones under the rubble, with this he got new hope of finding his lost family.

When Tylbo did not deal with hunting or being with his friends, almost his family, he went around looking for his real family.

One day, when the meat at home was out of stock, he started preparing for his usual hunt. When he started out from his cave, he noticed a strange smell. "An another dragon?!" So instead of hunting he followed the unknown, though not rude smell.

As he approached the source of the smell, he made it quieter to prevent it from screaming or attacking him. When he saw a nearby clearing, he saw a pink and a blue dragon. The first had a wing, but the second was wingless. They could be about as old as he was, maybe a few days older, but not much.

Let's see how they could get here. Amerays and Egoth played with eachothers. Where was one of them above, where was the other. They didn't even notice that they came out of their cave and were already far away, they were in so much fun.

When they got into the field, Egoth noticed that, but he didn't care about it. He just continued to play with Amerays. But he didn't realize that someone was watching them while they were playing on the field.

Since Tylbo preserved the egg pieces and put them together almost completely. From that he learned the eggs are as colorful as their offsprings. That's why he had the idea of he found his brother and sister. But he won't go closer. But he wanted to know where they were going, so he followed them.

Amerays: - Got you!

Egoth: - Cause you're cheated! You used your wings...

Amerays: - ... Wait, where are we? Aren't we playing in our cave?

Egoth: - We are in the middle of a field, somehow we got here...

They looked around, but they didn't see any familiar things.

Egoth: - Come this way. I got the scent to get home.

Amerays: - Alright!

Tylbo didn't needed more. He started after them.

He followed them until they reached a cave that was unknown to him. But it offered safety and peace to mind. He hid in a bush in front of the cave.

Amerays and Egoth: - Mom, Dad! We arrived! Don't be angry at us for we just disappeared!

Two dragons appeared at the entrance.

Fudaross: - You've brought frustration to your mother! Don't do that again!

Ozillia: - If I had wings I would have flew after you, but your dad comforted me. He was sure you will find your way home.

The two little dragons was still looking at their parents apologetically when Fudaross suddenly spoke up.

Fudaross: - Who is your friend? Get out! Now! RAWR!

Tylbo's legs rooted in fear, he couldn't move. "How did he noticed me? Was I too loud? What should I do?"

Fudaross: - RAWR! I SAID COME HERE! RIGHT NOW!

Tylbo's legs seemed to come alive and jumped out of the bush, landed between the 4 dragons.

Ozillia: - It can't be! He's my, our child! Your brother! I knew he was alive, I knew he hatched! You didn't want to go back for him because you said that he didn't hatch or he is dead!

Fudaross: - Yes, because I didn't want you to see if I was right, because you couldn't bear it.

Tylbo listened the events that happened around him with astonishment.

Tylbo: - Mom? Dad? Brother? Sister? I thought I would never find you! I already started to giving up the hope about finding you all.

Ozillia: - It's been eleven years since we had to leave the cave because its collapse. We didn't know what to do. We didn't know if you survived the catastrophe.

Then everyone introduced themselves to the others. They went to the old, but already renovated cave where Salty and X were there in that time. So Tylbo introduced them to his family. Fudaross and Ozillia thanked them for being his family instead of his real one.

Fudaross: - Family, let's go home!

Tylbo: - Sorry dad, but I'll stay here. This is real my home.

Fudaross: - You will come too. You're still just a cub!

X: - Fudaross, it's true I don't know you well yet, but I know Tylbo. He is a clever little dragon. Until now, he managed to do it alone, then he can and he will. If he wants to stay, let him stay.

Ozillia: - Okay, but promise me you'll visit us every day.

Tylbo: - I'll promise mom!

With this, the dragon family left home, except Tylbo. Who was left in the usual cave, what he called his home.

The end.
