Author's note: Choose to believe in this if you want. My name is Nehzier. I'm what's called a therian. Most of you will not know what this is. At the end of the series I write I hope you learn about my kind and what I myself am. I'm not the only one either. I personally know a few. Also no using the story for your own work.

My past Chapter 1: My second greatest loss

I've been stuck in this prison long enough. I've been pressed against the walls long enough. It is time for me to be free. I tossed and turned within my prison. My prison shook but did not break. I pushed my egg tooth into the wall piercing my prison.

A small gap was left in the pierced shell. I pushed with all my strength. The shell cracked my head moving into the world. I pushed again finally breaking my prison.

As I took my first breath of air, I looked up at the great head of a dragoness. My mother. I looked at her, quickly familiarising myself with her image. Even now to this day I still remember.

Her beautiful black scales, shining like stars in the night. Three horns adored her head. She had a long muzzle, and a long forked tongue. Her teeth a gleaming white.

She moved in towards me and embraced me in a loving coil. Her head near my body. She used her tongue to clean me of the birthing fluids I had on me. I looked into her warm loving white eyes.

She knew instantly what I wanted. I was hungry and she knew that. She moved her head beyond my sight. When she turned back, she had fresh meat in her maw holding it near me still coiled. I lurched my head forward a bit taking the piece of meat from her maw. I quickly ate it, using the small teeth, that would one day be used to kill humans. I quickly ate my fill.

As a hatchling I was tired. I went to sleep within my mother's coils. In the morning of my awakening I saw I was no longer coiled. What would any hatchling do when they've lost their mother, I panicked. My body was ill-equipped to be moving around on all four at this stage.

I heard claws on the rock floor. When I turned it was mother. She brought more food. She placed it near me. I ate with vigour common among my kind.

The taste of fresh blood running down my gullet was something I thoroughly miss to this day. Heh humans don't like the taste of raw meat, nor the blood. My teeth tore through the meat. Chunks being eaten at a time. I finished the meat, my forked tongue licking at my maw getting the blood on my muzzle.

My mother Spoke to me, She called "Nehzier" in a tongue very few would even know of today. She was beckoning me to go to her. I complied trying to stand on all four legs. I weakly got up. I was unbalanced at first. I slowly made my way to her.

She seemed incredibly happy with me walking. She nuzzled me lovingly. Again my young body was tired. I began to fall asleep. Before I dozed off she coiled around me.

The next day when I woke up I found mother still coiled around me. She was awake her eyes watching me. She told me today I would get to go outside. I was immensely happy.

We walked towards the exit to the cave. What I saw amazed me. I was standing at a ledge of cave that was a few hundred feet above ground, starring out at a lush forest. There was a crystal blue lake in the middle of the forest. Wildlife stretched as far as the eye could see. The wonders of the beautiful world blinded me from its flaws.

My mother took me out if the cave perched in her back between her powerful wings. She flew me to the water's edge of the lake. I was amazed as I saw the forest go beneath us. Animals of all shapes and sizes seemed to cower before mother.

She landed gracefully at the water's edge. She reached her head back to grab me gently between her teeth to lower me down onto the floor. It was amazing to fell the grass between my scaled paws. I gently padded over to the water's edge. For the first time I looked upon my own image. I had to horns. Both above my ears. I had my mother's eyes white, with black slits, to contrast with my deep black scales. My scales gleamed with lustre of a new born hatchling.

I watched as schools of fresh water fish swam beneath the surface. I moved my head over the surface of the water t get a better look at the fish. In truth the fish looked edible and I was hungry. As I moved to see the fish. I lowered my head to try and catch one. I slipped into the lakes shallower waters. Mother simply laughed. She must of thought it was funny. I was just disappointed that I didn't get my meal.

I tried time and time again to get the fish, my efforts were showing little success. Mother saw my failed attempts. She then plunged her head in the water her maw open. When her head resurfaced she had at least a dozen fish. I removed myself from the water, walking up to mother. I cooeed gently as mother laid the fish down in front of me.

I began eating the fish. I complained to mother they were too wet. She just nodded and breathed a small black flame over the fish. Scales began to flake and skin was peeling. I stood there amazed. My mother obviously saw this bewilderment and fascination. She then told me soon I would be able to do the same thing.

I was happy but hungry so I took little notice at the time of her telling me of this fact. I began to viciously attack the fish which tasted much better now. As I ate Mother simply watched me, lovingly. When I was done she took me back to the cave. I fell asleep during the flight. The day had been great. My first look on the world.

I woke once more during the middle of the night. The heavy clang of metal on the cave floor could be heard easily through the forest. Mother told me shed be right back, and to stay here. She walked out of my sight and towards the exit. I heard a massive thud something hitting the floor loudly.

Curiosity got the better of me. For the first time I set my eyes on a human. He had not seen me. I snuck around him quietly. I thought he was just another thing to eat. I lunged grabbing the throat with my fangs. A common hunting instinct.

Gravity pulled me down. His throat ripping open as I took his throat with me. Within a few seconds the human died. I wanted to tell mother of my accomplishment. I turned around to see what made the thump before. My mother had a sword rammed between her eyes. Blood pooling out.

I had lost the only one I ever knew. I was all alone. I waited for days for a response from mother. When I finally gave up. I vowed to kill all humans for what they did to her. I spent years perfecting my hunting. My breath came as did some magic. I spent years with hate growing.

So what do you think of the first part?
