Mother carefully prepared the deer meat, her light green scales glistening in the soft light of the setting sun that streamed through the entrance.
She expertly seasoned the meat, and the aroma wafted through the air, making my stomach growl with anticipation.
Father, still outside, chuckled, his deep voice rumbling through our familial bond. "It seems someone's getting impatient," he teased, his amusement clear even from a distance. I shifted slightly on the warm ground, my silver scales catching the fading light.
Mother smiled, her eyes sparkling with warmth as she handed me a perfectly cooked piece of meat. "Patience, Tharros. Your meal is ready." I took the meat, savoring the flavors as I ate, feeling the warmth and love of my family surround me.

Father questioned, "Can't I just eat something?!"
Mother sighed. "I already told you no, you've eaten a lot of slime, and they're still undigested!"
Father nodded, his expression understanding. "Alright, I'll wait."
I watched the exchange between my parents, curious about the slime Father had eaten. "What happens if you eat too much slime, Father?" I asked, my voice filled with wonder.
Father turned to me, a hint of a smile on his face. "It's not good for my digestion, Tharros. Mother is right, I need to be careful."
Mother added, "And it's not just about digestion. Eating too much slime can affect your energy and abilities."
I nodded, taking in their words. I didn't fully understand the implications, but I knew it was important for Father to take care of himself.
I go back to Father and nuzzled his head.
Father's expression softened, and he gently nuzzled me back. His large, albino-scaled body radiating warmth. "Don't worry about me, Tharros," he said, his deep voice soothing. "I'll be fine. Mother is just being cautious."
He smiled, and I could feel the love and affection emanating from him. I continued to nuzzle him, feeling a deep connection to my father.
Mother watched us with a warm smile, happy to see us bonding. The three of us stood there for a moment, enjoying each other's company.
Mother spoke up again. "Let's get back to dinner, shall we?" she suggested, gesturing to the meal she had prepared.
I pulled back from nuzzling Father and nodded, my stomach growling in anticipation of the meal. "I'm starving, Mother," I said, my voice filled with excitement.
Mother chuckled and led the way back to the food. "Well, let's not keep your hunger waiting, then," she said with a smile.
Father watched us with warmth, his large, albino-scaled body reclined comfortably. As we sat down to eat, I couldn't help but feel grateful for this moment with my parents. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed it together in comfortable silence.
After we finished eating, Mother suggested we take a walk outside to enjoy the evening air. I agreed, and we stepped out into the fading light of day. Father remained inside, his belly too large to fit comfortably outside the cave entrance.
The sky was painted with hues of pink and orange, a beautiful sunset unfolding before us. As we walked, Mother pointed out different plants and animals, sharing her knowledge with me. I felt content and at peace, surrounded by my mother's love.
When we returned to the cave, Father smiled at us, happy to see us enjoying each other's company. "How was your walk?" he asked, his deep voice soothing.
"It was wonderful," Mother replied, settling beside him. "The sunset was beautiful."
I nodded in agreement, feeling grateful for this time with my parents.
I look at Mother. "Can I still stay near Father and be under his wings while standing on his bulging belly again?" Mother nodded.
"Yes, of course!" She said.
I smiled and moved closer to Father, who was reclined comfortably. I positioned myself near his wing and stepped onto his bulging belly, feeling the soft, scaly skin beneath my feet.
Father's eyes sparkled with warmth as I settled into my spot. He wrapped a wing around me, creating a cozy, protected space. "Ready to rest, Tharros?" he asked, his deep voice rumbling.
I nodded, feeling safe and content under his wing. Mother settled in beside us, and the three of us rested together, enjoying each other's company in the fading light of day.
I knowtes I was on the ground "look like the slime were now fully digested, and your scales belly is back flat again!" Father chuckled and nodded.
"Yes, I think you're right, Tharros," Father said with a smile. "The slime seems to have done its job, and my belly is back to normal."
He shifted slightly, his scales glinting in the morning light. Mother watched us with a warm smile, happy to see Father looking more comfortable. "I'm glad to see you're feeling better," she said.
I grinned, happy to see Father's belly back to its usual flat shape. "I'm glad too, Father," I said, feeling relieved that he was no longer uncomfortable.
Father chuckled and nodded, seeming to enjoy the morning atmosphere. "Let's go find some breakfast," he suggested, his deep voice rumbling.
Mother and I nodded in agreement, and the three of us set off to start our day.
Mother sighed "it seem you can now fit into the cave entrance again!" Mother chuckled.
Father smiled, his eyes shining with amusement. "I suppose I can finally come and go as I please again," he said, his deep voice rumbling with laughter.
I grinned, happy to see Father's good humor restored. Mother and I watched as Father carefully maneuvered himself to fit through the cave entrance, his large body squeezing through the opening with ease.
Once outside, Father stretched his body, his scales glinting in the morning light. "Ah, it's good to be able to move freely again," he said, his voice filled with satisfaction.
As Father stretched, Mother and I followed him outside, enjoying the warm morning sun. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the gentle chirping of birds.
"Let's go find some breakfast," Father suggested, his eyes scanning the surrounding area. "I'm famished after digesting that slime."
Mother nodded, and we set off together, searching for something to eat. As we walked, Father pointed out different plants and berries, teaching me about the edible ones and the ones to avoid.
After a while, we came across a small clearing with a babbling brook running through it. Father's eyes lit up, and he gestured to the water. "Ah, fresh fish for breakfast sounds perfect."
Mother smiled, and we settled in to catch some fish for our meal.
Father positioned himself near the brook, his large body calm and still as he waited for the perfect moment to catch a fish. Mother and I watched with anticipation, our stomachs growling with hunger.
After a few moments, Father swiftly snatched a fish from the water, his claws closing around it with precision. "Ah, got one!" he exclaimed, holding up the fish in triumph.
Mother smiled, and I cheered, happy to see Father's successful catch. We then sat down together, and Mother expertly prepared the fish for our meal. The aroma of cooked fish filled the air, and our hunger was soon satisfied.
As we ate, Father told us stories of his own adventures when he was younger, his deep voice filled with laughter and excitement. I listened with wide eyes, fascinated by his tales of exploration and discovery.
After we finished eating, Father leaned back, content and full. "That was a great meal," he said, smiling at Mother. "You're always so good at preparing food, Thyriatrix."
Mother smiled, her light green scales glistening in the sunlight. "Thank you, Aetherius. I'm just glad I could make it taste good."
I looked at my parents, feeling grateful for this moment with them. "I'm glad we had breakfast together," I said, smiling at them.
Father nodded, his eyes warm with affection. "Me too, Tharros. Family time is always special."
Mother agreed, and we sat together in comfortable silence for a moment, enjoying each other's company. Then, Father stood up, his large body towering over us. "I think I'll take a walk around the area," he said. "Care to join me?"
Mother and I nodded, and we set off together, exploring the surrounding landscape and enjoying the beautiful day.
Mother, look at Father. "I'm going to rest a bit. You keep in watching them while I rest for a few hours!" Mother said.
Father nodded. "Have a good rest, my dear!"
Mother settled down, her eyes closing as she relaxed. Father watched over her, his expression soft with concern. "I'll keep an eye on the little ones and make sure everything is okay," he said, his deep voice gentle.
I watched Mother rest, feeling a sense of security with Father keeping watch. The warm sun shone down on us, and the peaceful atmosphere helped me relax too.
As Mother slept, Father kept a close eye on her, making sure she was comfortable and safe. I sat beside him, enjoying the quiet moment together.
After a while, Mother stirred, looking refreshed. "I feel much better now," she said, smiling at Father. "Thank you for watching over me."
Father smiled back at Mother, his eyes warm with affection. "Anytime, my dear," he said. "I'm always here for you."
Mother stood up, stretching her body. "I think I'll join you in keeping watch now," she said. "We should make sure everything is safe and secure."
Father nodded, and together they scanned the surrounding area, their eyes alert for any potential threats. I stood beside them, feeling safe and protected with my parents watching over me.
As we stood there, Father pointed out some birds flying overhead, and Mother showed me some interesting plants growing nearby. The three of us enjoyed the peaceful moment together, grateful for each other's company.
As Mother joined Father in keeping watch, they stood at the entrance of the cave, scanning the surrounding mountainside. The wind rustled through the trees, and the sound of rocks shifting echoed through the valley below.
Father pointed out a few birds flying overhead, and Mother showed me some interesting rock formations on the mountainside. I stood beside them, feeling safe and protected with my parents watching over me.
The three of us enjoyed the peaceful moment together, grateful for each other's company.
As we stood there, I looked out at the breathtaking view, feeling grateful for our home in the mountain cave.
I go around in the cave and go down to the mountain from the inside since there are stairs.
I make my way through the cave, navigating through the familiar passageways until I reach the stairs that lead down to the mountain. The air grows cooler as I descend, and the sound of the wind outside grows louder.
As I reach the bottom of the stairs, I step out into the bright sunlight, feeling the warmth on my skin. The view from here is breathtaking, with the mountainside stretching out before me. I look around, taking in the sights and sounds of the mountain. The trees sway gently in the breeze, and the sound of birdsong fills the air.
I feel a sense of freedom and adventure, eager to explore the mountain and all its secrets. I take a deep breath, enjoying the fresh mountain air and the sense of possibility that comes with exploring the unknown.
As I looked around the cave, I saw a lava pool glowing in the distance, its warm light illuminating the dark cavern. I thought to myself, 'It wouldn't hurt to take a quick dip.' I ran towards it, but before I could get in, Father out of nowhere grabbed me using his jaw. "Tharros, look, you're still a 7-year-old hatchling! Your silver scales won't deal with the heat yet!" Father said.
I struggled against Father's grip, laughing and trying to squirm free. "But Father, I just wanted to feel the warmth!" I protested, feeling a bit disappointed that my adventure was being cut short.
Father held me firmly, his jaws gentle but firm. "I know, Tharros, but your scales aren't ready for the heat of the lava pool. You need to be patient and wait until you're older. Let's explore other parts of the cave instead."
I question, "Did you follow me downstairs?" Father nodded slightly.
"Why did you follow me?" I asked, looking up at Father with a mix of curiosity and a hint of mischief.
Father's expression softened, and he gently set me down on the cave floor. "I wanted to make sure you were safe, Tharros. You're still young, and the cave can be unpredictable."
I nodded, understanding Father's concern. "I'll be more careful next time," I promised, looking up at him with a smile.
Father smiled back, his eyes warm with affection. "I know you will, Tharros. Let's head back to Mother now."
I nodded, and Father led the way back through the cave. As we walked, I asked, "Father, can I ask you something?"
"Of course, Tharros," Father replied, his deep voice encouraging.
"Why do I have to wait until I'm older to use the lava pool?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.
Father thought for a moment before responding, "It's because your scales aren't fully developed yet. As you grow older, your scales will become more resistant to the heat. But for now, it's not safe for you to expose yourself to the lava pool's heat."
I nodded, understanding Father's explanation. "I'll wait, Father," I said, feeling a sense of responsibility.
Father smiled, his eyes shining with pride. "That's my good son," he said, ruffling my silver scales with his snout.
We continued walking back to where Mother was waiting. As we approached, I saw her standing near the cave entrance, looking out at the surrounding landscape. She turned to us as we approached, a smile on her face.
"Ah, Tharros, I see you're back," she said, her voice warm. "And I see Aetherius is keeping a close eye on you, as always."
Father chuckled, his deep voice rumbling. "Someone has to keep him out of trouble," he said, winking at me.
I grinned, feeling happy to be surrounded by my parents' love and care. We stood together for a moment, enjoying each other's company, before Mother suggested we head back to our usual routine.
Father smiled. "Tharros was downstairs, and he was about to go in the lava pool, but I caught him before he got one of his claws to make contact with it."
Mother's expression turned serious, and she looked at me with a mix of concern and amusement. "Tharros, you know better than to go near the lava pool without an adult," she said gently.
I looked down, feeling a bit sheepish. "I was just curious, Mother," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.
Father chuckled and wrapped a claw around me. "Curiosity is natural, but safety comes first," he said. "We'll teach you more about the lava pool and how to use it safely when you're older."
Mother nodded in agreement. "Let's focus on your lessons for now. We can explore the cave and learn more about our home."
Mother smiled, "or you little ones home since me and your father knows this mountain cave At the back of your head!" She said.
I giggled at Mother's words, feeling a sense of security and comfort knowing that my parents knew the cave so well. "Yes, Mother," I said, smiling up at her. "You and Father are the best guides."
Father chuckled, his deep voice rumbling. "We've lived here for a long time, Tharros. We know every nook and cranny."
Mother nodded, her eyes shining with warmth. "And we'll teach you everything we know, so you can explore and thrive in our home."
As we stood there, I felt grateful for my parents' love and guidance. I knew I was lucky to have them teaching me about the cave and keeping me safe. I looked up at them with admiration, feeling proud to be their young dragon.
"Let's go find some food," Father said, his stomach growling softly. "I'm sure Tharros is getting hungry too."
Mother nodded, and we set off together, exploring the cave and searching for something to eat. As we walked, I asked them questions about the cave and its secrets, eager to learn more about my home.
