Granith and Scivil knew one day they would want a child and that day was soon coming. They both loved each other a lot and supported each other but they chose not to rush to have a child while their clan was slowly growing. One night while they were laying down, stargazing together Granith spoke out “Scivil, I think it’s time.” Scivil looks dat her startled. “A-are you sure your ready?” “Yeah! Let’s get this magic gesture done.” Scivil bowed his head and approached her. Let’s just say love was in the air tonight.

They managed to produce one egg which was that they both wanted anyway. They kept watch over it, keeping it warm in a small lava pool in their cave. They took shifts in watching over, Granith through the night, Scivil through the day. Nothing was going to interrupt their egg from hatching; nothing. That is until the news spread to unwanted ears over at one of the major seriths clan in the earth flight. They were furious that they were still alive and now they were having a child; now they were seeing red. The seriths chose one of their most prised assassins and sent her off with all that she needed, they weren’t going to take anything other than it’s head.

The egg hatched on a dusky afternoon whilst they were trading watch. They heard the quiet pecking noises come from the pool and saw a little chip missing. They both started freaking out; their child was coming! They both stayed up the night watching the little egg, waiting for it’s little head to pop out. It was morning the next day when the horns and then finally a snout emerge from the egg. Granith was squealing in delight as more and more of the baby was seen until it finally rolled out of the egg and looked ya them in awe. Their baby main colour was black with a very dark orange tertiary to make it stand out. Scivil gently lifted the baby and smiled “Well it’s a boy. What should we name you?” “Has to be something to do with fire!” “Adoh?” “Sounds interesting. Yes I like it! Our hatchling boy Adoh!” The spent the rest of the day showing him off to All all the residents, recieving many awws of cuteness as they went by.

She slithered nearby and waited behind a crate, hoping her chance to Stoke would emerge. The little guardian was playing in the ash near the opening to her cave, completely oblivious to her. She could hear the calls of Granith checking in on her every so often as she did something underground. Today was the day that guardian would be gone for good. She slithered behind the guardian, making sure she made no noise as she approached its back and with one dagger one she slammed it into its back. The baby guardian screamed loudly and bolted off forcing the serith for follow suit. Blood poured from the Adoh back as left a trail through town. He didn’t slow down and followed what his father had told him “if you get in trouble go to the lava pool. Trust us.” He ran up towards the lava pool and stopped to catch his breath but the serith was hot on him forcing him to move closer and closer to the lava. The seriths hissed in glee and said, “No ones here to save you now guardian. Prepare to die!” She got ready to lunge at the guardian but then he did something she wouldn’t thought he would do. The guardian turned around and did a leap of faith into the lava. The serith stopped and slithered closer to the pool and saw the guardian floating on is surface, completely unfazed by the lava. “What!!!” The Adoh grinned at his attacker as the serith planned its next move. “My life means nothing if I don’t get you! Two can play at this game!” The serith backed up and made a leap on top of the guardians belly. “Did you think you could get away that easy?!” She was about to put in her final blow when a death producing screech was heard, turning all heads. “Get the hell away from my child!” And with that the giant claws of her mother swooped down on top of them an thrusted them out of the lava.

Well now she had done it. There was a pretty peeved off guardian clutching her bleeding child, hissing at my direction from where she threw me and off in the distance was the little guardians father, charging at my location. She didn’t know much about guardians but if they started to hiss you know this wasn’t going to end good. She had to slither away for now and bolted for the lava pools cliffs. There was a crack in the wall so she slithered as well as she could into it and hid. The guardian knew she was in the wall and hissed around, bashing at the wall with its metallic claws. It was becoming quite clear that she wasn’t making it out alive so she would need to do another leap of faith and hope the guardian killed her quick enough. With the last burst of energy she pushed her body and of the wall and attempted to get away but Scivil wasn’t having that. Two giant claws landed over her had and body, pinned her to the ground. His big, powerful breaths could be felt across her spine as she stayed pinned. With one final punch to the head she was out cold.

“Your child is going to be fine Granith. It’s just a couple of stab wounds and loss of blood, nothing that I haven’t dealt with on both of you.” “But it’s my child, I let this happen!” “Who would’ve thought your kid would be attacked today? No one.” “But...” “no buts just take it as experience that maybe you should watch a bit more knowing your enemies are still around.” “If they try one more time I’m attacking their base.” “Oh good give me more work to do. Just be safe.” With that the doctor walked out of the room leaving her and Adoh alone. Sometime later Scivil showed up and looked carefully at them both “I’m sorry for not doing more.” “It’s fine! You got that snake didn’t you.” “Yes but it’s not dead.” “Why not!” “It’s not like Blizz knows where this assassin was sent from. If I get the info out, we can get our revenge.” “But that might take forever.” “Don’t worry I’ve learnt a few ways of getting what I want.” “Usually this is you saying this but really, a bargain chip for safety?” “I’ll make sure she’s under watchful eyes and doesn’t make a run for it don’t worry.” An audible sigh escaped Granith. “Just make sure we get what we need.” With that Scivil bowed his head and left the two at the hospital.

She woke up with a splitting headache in a cold, damp room. “Welcome to the prison snake. Let’s chat.” Those words made her spine curl as she attempted to move but realised she was heavily chained down. “What did you expect? You stabbed my child more than once. You should be dead, I should’ve eaten you! But I didn’t because I want to make a deal.” A weak hiss escaped her mouth followed by a croaky “What kind of deal.” Scivil made a toothy grin and said “ where is your base Serith. You give me its location and I’ll give you protection, rescources, a home. Not a bad deal considering you could be dead and I would find it sooner or later.” “And then what guardian. I would be shamed, outcasted, threatened. Death seems swifter.” “You act like we don’t have murderers here. I would simply put you on either mining duty or kitchen duty.” “... I get full protection?” “If you do get attacked I’ll be the first person to put my teeth into their skull.” “... fine, guess in leap of faithing into this. I’ll give you the location.” “Smart snake.”

“Hey Vrapa! Remember when you tried killing me?” “Yes Adoh you remind me every day.” “Hey Vrapa remember how you stabbed me and forced me to jump into the lava.” “How did it get to this.” “What? Don’t like the irony of being my baby sitter?” “Yes.” “How about this: teach me how to hunt and I’ll forgive you.” “...Meet me out back in ten minutes and I’ll show you how to hunt a duskrat.”
Vrapa got to live on in clan Boltninja safely from her tribes threats. Somewhere along the way she was appointed Adoh babysitter and was forced to make sure no one else tried assassinating him. Adoh think this is extremely funny and makes sure he shows just how good he is at leaping into the lava pool saying “I have faith in my body.” As he swims around. In all honestly they both have warmed up to each other, usually inseparable with has had good impacts on how she thinks of dragons.
