Intro
It had been a peaceful night. Clans had gathered in celebration, some swapping mimic stories as they chuckled. Outside the festivities the hatchlings had gathered. They had built a fort and were deep in their game of storming their castle. Toy swords clashed between the hatchlings.
"Take that villain!"
"Villain, I'm not the villain, you are!" They had been through this about three times. Everyone wanted to be the hero not the villain. They had tried to dress a Corgi as a dragon but the dog could not keep up with so many hatchlings.
The argument died down once the rough housing continued, the hatchlings laughing but still they had no idea who was the villain.
Little did the hatchlings know they were being watched. A group of mimics had gathered and watched the hatchlings, it all looked like fun to them. They wished to play too but weren't certain what to do until they heard the argument. They could be the villains! They didn't mind if it meant they could play. The mimics murmured to each other, if they were going to do this they would make it the best game.
Combining their magic the mimics started to change the area around them. The wooden swords the hatchlings held took on a metal appearance, clanging together. It spooked a few hatchlings until one noted they were still light. One swung at a nearby stump but found the sword bounced off like it was still wood. They then noticed that other things changed. Cardboard armor now looked like metal. The garden now was a spooky forest, and their once cardboard castle now loomed in the distance.
"What's going on?" Someone asked.
"Certainly you can tell!" A booming voice shouted. "I have come to issue you a challenge. Send your best adventurers to challenge me! Face me in my castle if you dare, for I am the Mimic King and I will rule this land and conquer the world!"
The hatchlings gathered together to select the heroes.
"Firhab and I will go!" The monotone voice of a fae called out, Spartrix was her name. She sat on the Obelisk's head clinging to the thick green mane.
"I suppose we can," Firhab nodded.
"I wanna kick the Mimic King!" Rogtumble shouted, the Banescale grinned as she approached.
"You will certainly need me to solve puzzles!" Ferthaz, a clever spiral approached. "Can't be all muscle after all."
"Here I come a Wortestraling!" Wortestral, a mirror should out, "What's an adventure without music?"
"Okay, I think we have our party," Ferthaz nodded. "Let's go-"
"Wait for me!" Dermeeti ran forward clutching a Flower Vulpine Plushie. The coatl was one of the youngest of the group. "I wanna come too."
"Of course you can come, Dermeeti." Firhab spoke up before anyone could argue. "Just stay near me.
"Right! Oh, Marley should stay here, it's dangerous." Dermeeti set the plush down, even if he didn't really want to leave it behind.
"Okay, now we have our party, let's go!" Ferthaz pointed onwards. "The rest of you, we're gonna need supplies! There's no telling what we'll encounter. We'll scout ahead, you all gather what you can and follow behind!"
Having their own jobs made the rest of the hatchlings not argue, plus most were a tad frightened of the voice. "Good luck!" The hatchlings waved at their friends.
