Sometimes it crossed his mind, why so different? Why the difference of food, or growth? Why the difference in sights, and body image? But so rare it came into his mind. Listening to his care taker, listening as they spoke like they knew all. Teaching him dragons were nothing but scum. He listened as if he was in a trance.
His care taker hissed with disgust as he spoke of dragons, knowing how many of his kind have fallen to serve them. Despite Media, the youngling Dragon taken by this creature, Ringlet Amphithere. Something rare, but being nothing but a hatchling at the time, left by his mother, the creature took the young one in. Teaching it to speak, to learn to fight. Wary of shadows and smells that deem foreign. He gave himself a name, something that other Ringlet Amphithere's spoke of, something that Dragons often spoke of. Media. He was not sure what the name meant, yet it felt.. Right to him.
Media was sent on a task, it was his first time leaving without supervision. His task was to bring food home, and he wanted to impress his care taker. With a puffed out chest, the small dragon nodded. His little scaly claws reached out, digging into the cold ground, his body unwrapping as his wings fluttered and scurried off.
He felt proud. To be trusted in such a way. He couldn't help but smile. Media searched, turned over small rocks in hope, yet nothing. After nearly an hour, his own stomach growled. Frowning, he slowly moved along. Not even realizing he grew lost, taking the incorrect turn. Huffing, he soon saw it.. The right sized creature, he could catch it and kill it no problem.
Media spoke in a quiet voice, his eyes darting around. Climbing slowly towards it, he didn't realize that this would turn bad. "Slow.. Come on.. I'm so close.." Right then, he pounced the creature, attacking it and biting it. Slowly, a growl like yawn roared. He felt his stomach flip and twist, watching his target slither away and a larger creature appear, learning his dinner was not as small as he though it was.
