Sulucco

Sulucco had always been the daredevil kind of hatchling : a tree to climb ? Be sure to find him at the top in the blink of an eye, trying to reach the next not-too-resistant branch.
A cliff to jump from and glide until earth ? Of course he will ! Not knowing how to fly and not having fully grown tundra wings don't really matter, after all.
Unknown edible looking (or half-edible. Or quarter. Or less. After all, you can't know if you don't try.) stuff abandonned on the table ? Ooops, you should have put this hot pepper away before.
Clearly agressive fauna representative in the garden ? Who let it go inside ? And who let the hatchie go out ?!
A bubbly mysterious witch cauldron full of radioactive green potion that is probably dangerous to drink, touch and inhale ?
Better tie him to a chair before he gets the idea of climbing the burning metal to take a clother look to the potion.
That's precisely what Sulucco's parents didn't do.
Oh, it wasn't that they were'nt caring and loving - but they had other hatchlings to look after, and hatchlings who took from their father the burning energy of Fire dragons, from their mother the recklessness and sturdinessof Plague dragons, and from their Wind homeland, a strong taste for adventure and discoveries. Not the easiest hatchlings to raise, you'll have to admit.
Hektabori, their mother, was visiting the Witch Sisters to trade potions and remedies, and tips about their craft, when it happened.
Sulucco sneaked the herbalist and the witches. He climbed the cauldron, his dense fur protecting him from the burn as soon as he was fast. He looked at the unnaturally green glowing liquid.
And he fell into the cauldron.

"Oh no, not again !" said the alchemists when they heard about it. Hatchlings and eggs really should be allowed near strange bubbly potions.
Indeed, multiple eyes began to grow on Sulucco's body.

"Well, he'll have to adapt." said his mother. "I'm so proud of him. That's what make strong drgons, I tell you !"
"What, multiple eyes ?" asks her mate, confused. "Or diving in magical boiling potions ?"
"Having the courage to face the risks for what you want, and the strength the overcome them !" answered the Plague herbalist. "Though multiple eyes is also a good answer."

After a while, it seems that this unexpected mutation wasn't a danger for him... but unsettling it was for sure.
But Sulucco didn't see (get it ?) things the same way the other dragons in the clan did.
Sulucco loves being special - it's like having a superpower of his own !
After all, who else can spy on other dragons with his tail ? Have a 360 vision without being an owl ? Inspect both under the couch and on the shelves looking for the keys at the same time ?
He even let his fur grow on his extra eyes for maximum dissimulation... and learned a little magic trick to move his fur at will (advantage of living in a mages clan) - just imagine the endless tricks possibilities ! Perfectly normal - though rather hairy - tundra, and then, Boo ! All of a sudden ! Multiple eyes gazing into your very soul !
Sulucco is way too proud and independant to be affected by other's remarks. They don't like him ? Too bad for them. If they can't stand his specificities, they won't go along anyways.
Sometimes, though, often at the end of the day, he suffers from headhaches because of the extra view his brain is not calibrated to support easily.


It was obvious that he wasn't going to stay in the clan for long. Yearning for adventure, as soon as he was grown up enough to travel on his own, he took his travel pack (which was ready since his 6th birthday) and left the clan for new horizons.
Who knows where his path will lead him ?
