tada! I made the story about how they were saved as a hatchling! I hope u enjoy~
Moondust, unlike many hatchlings, was kept by their clan. And although Moondust was grateful for this fact, they took advantage of it very often…..
Moondust watched as the hatchling wandered around confused. They giggled softly. This hatchling had only just arrived in the clan and Moondust decided it would be a good idea to play hide and seek. This was a game Moondust played with every new hatchling. They would lead the hatchling somewhere new, hide, and then when the hatchlings got lost or confused, Moondust would jump out on them.
As the hatchling began to move into the trees, Moondust fluttered his little wings and followed as silently as possible. The two hatchlings went on like this for more than an hour before Moondust got frustrated. Why wasn’t this hatchling giving up?! Agitated, Moondust leaped out from the bush where they hid and announced,
“Your no fun!” They glared at the other hatchlings back, lashing their tail.
Moondust waited for the hatchling to turn around and reply, but they didn’t. Instead the hatchling hunched over and let out a dark laugh. She wheezed and cackled, dark smoke erupting from her nostrils. Moondust backed away, something was definitely up. The hatchling continued to crackle as she slowly turned around. Moondust gasped. Her eyes had turned black and were rolling back into her head. Black smoke formed in her mouth and was spewed out everytime she talked. Slowly the dragon smiled at Moondust.
“J-join me…. Shade… join us ...”
Moondust gulped, their legs quaking in fear, “n-no I’m fine t-th-the way I am….”
“No I insist!” The hatchling shrieked, as she stalked towards him, “Join us.” Her voice was like a snake’s; cold, harsh, dangerous.
Quaking in fear, Moondust backed away. They knew they had to get away, but how?
Suddenly the hatchling leaped, claws extended.
“JOIN US!”
Moondust ran. As they raced away they could hear the hatchling cackle. Moondust ran and ran until they reached a dark cave. Diving inside, they knelt behind a rock and hid.
“Come out…. Join ussss.”
Moondust gulped, how had the hatchling gotten here so fast?! When Moondust took off, the hatchling hadn’t even tried to give chase.
Moondust peaked over the rock, nothing. Where was the hatchling? Then it hit them in the head. Literally. The hatchling flew at Moondust claws extended.
“I got you know!”
She dug her claws into his scales, biting at his face. Howling in pain, Moondust tried to fend her off, but it was no use. The hatchling flipped Moondust over and pinned them beneath her claws. She grinned, smoke pouring out of her nostrils and falling onto Moondust.
“Join us! Join us! Join us! Join us!”
Moondust squeezed their eyes shut in despite, this was the end, they were going to die. Going limp under the hatchlings claws, Moondust waited for the hatchling to kill them or do worse.
But the pain never came. Suddenly the hatchling was thrown off Moondust. Opening their eyes, Moondust saw a huge beast standing above them. Glancing down at Moondust, the beast offered a smile before it picked up the hatchling and took off. As it hurled off into the distance, Moondust heard the hatchling shout one more time before it was silenced.
“No! THE SHADE WILL TAKE CONTROL! You will pay!”
Shivering Moondust got up and ran all the way back to their clan, forever grateful to the beast that had saved their life.
From that day forward, Moondust became the caretaker to all familiars and beasts. They mended wounds, fed the familiars, and tended the sick. Moondust knew that they would always be in debt of the beast that they never saw again. The best way to say thank you was to make sure no other familiar or beast was hurt in the claws of any dragon, not even the shade touched.
