The night passed quietly, with the cave bathed in a soft, moonlit glow. The siblings slept soundly, their gentle snores and rustling wings a soothing background hum. Father's bulging belly continued to rise and fall with each breath, cradling my head in its soft, comforting rhythm.
As I slept, I felt my body recharge and my mind relax, letting go of the day's excitement and adventures. The warmth and love of my family enveloped me, wrapping me in a sense of security and peace.
The night wore on, and the cave remained still, filled with the gentle sounds of slumbering dragons. All was calm, and all was well.
As the night slowly gave way to dawn, the cave began to stir. The first light of morning crept in, casting a warm glow over the sleeping dragons. The gentle sounds of snoring and rustling scales gradually grew louder, as the siblings started to wake up with a series of low growls and rumbling roars.
Father's belly, still softly cradling my head, rose and fell with a gentle stretch. He let out a mighty roar, his wings unfolding from around me as he stood up. "Rooooaaaaar! Good morning, little one!" he bellowed, his voice echoing off the cave walls.
I smiled, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "Rrrrooooaaaar!" I replied, stretching my own wings and shaking off the slumber.
The cave came alive as the siblings began to stir, their morning growls and roars filling the air. Mother smiled, watching over the family as we started our day. "Time for breakfast, my little dragons!" she said, her voice firm but warm. "Let's go hunt and feed!"
The morning had begun, and with it, a new day full of adventures and possibilities. The dragons' roars grew louder, echoing through the cave as we prepared to take on the day.
Mother look at Father "you should get some excuses!" Father grin "oh come on Thyriatrix you know that not all the food turns into fat it turned into muscle mass!" Mother nodded.
Mother chuckled and playfully rolled her eyes. "Sure, sure, muscle mass. That's why your belly's getting bigger by the day."
Father grinned, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Hey, I'm just building up my strength. You know, for all the hunting and protecting the family I do."
Mother smiled, shaking her head. "I'm sure that's exactly what it is." She patted Father's belly, and the siblings laughed, enjoying the playful banter between their parents.
Father belly jiggled and wobbled from mother patted.
The siblings burst out laughing at the sight of Father's belly jiggling and wobbling. Father himself chuckled, his deep laughter rumbling through the cave.
"Hey, watch it, my dear," he said with a grin, "I'm a mighty dragon, after all."
Mother smiled mischievously. "Oh, I'm shaking with fear," she said, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
The siblings continued to laugh, enjoying the lighthearted moment with their parents.
As the laughter died down, Mother said, "Alright, let's get breakfast ready. I'm sure everyone is starving after that morning's excitement."
The siblings cheered and began to help Mother prepare the meal. Father, still grinning, joined in, his belly jiggling with each movement.
I smiled, watching my family work together. It was moments like these that I cherished the most – simple, everyday moments filled with love and laughter.
As we sat down to eat, Kieraxys exclaimed, "I want to go hunting with Father today!" Niamon, sitting next to him, nodded enthusiastically, her lavender scales glinting in the morning light.
Father's eyes lit up. "Ah, who wants to go hunting with me?" he asked, his voice booming through the cave.
The siblings all raised their hands, eager for the adventure. Mother smiled, "Well, maybe not all of you. We'll take turns, okay?"
The siblings nodded, already planning their turns and strategies. I smiled, knowing that today would be a day filled with excitement and adventure.
Mother sighed and wanted Father to loose the weight or wait until the food is fully digested so his belly is back being flats but she didn't say anything.
Mother sighed inwardly, her eyes lingering on Father's bulging belly. She wished he would take better care of himself, maybe get some exercise to shed a few kilograms. Or perhaps just wait a bit longer for the food to digest, so his belly would return to its usual flat shape. But she knew better than to mention it now, not when the family was in such high spirits.
Instead, she smiled and focused on serving the meal, making sure everyone had enough to eat. Father's antics would have to wait for another time. For now, she was just happy to see the family enjoying each other's company.
As Mother served the meal, Father leaned back, his bulging belly jutting out prominently. The siblings chatted and laughed, oblivious to Father's midsection. Mother's gaze met mine, and I could sense a hint of amusement and exasperation in her eyes. I smiled slightly, understanding her unspoken thoughts.
The meal was delicious, and the family enjoyed it together, savoring the flavors and each other's company. For now, Father's belly was just a minor concern, overshadowed by the joy and love that filled the cave.
As we finished our meal, Father let out a contented sigh, his belly still prominently displayed. Mother playfully nudged him, but her eyes sparkled with affection. The siblings began to clean up the remains of our meal, chattering and laughing as they went about their tasks amidst the warm glow of luminescent crystals that lined the mountain cave.
I stood up, helping with the cleanup. "I'll help, Mother," I said, smiling at her. Mother smiled back, "Thank you, Tharros. You're always so helpful."
As we worked together, the cave felt warm and cozy, the sound of dripping water and the scent of damp earth mingling with the smell of good food. The fire pit in the center of the cave crackled, casting flickering shadows on the walls as we moved about. It was moments like these that I treasured, surrounded by my loving family in our mountain cave home.
After the breakfast Father belly is now even bigger than before.
After breakfast, Father's belly had indeed grown even more prominent, a testament to the hearty meal we'd just shared. Mother raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement and exasperation on her face.
Father, however, seemed utterly content, his eyes closed in satisfaction as he lounged in his favorite spot near the fire pit. "A dragon's gotta eat, right?" he said with a grin, his voice rumbling deep in his chest.
The siblings chuckled, and I couldn't help but smile at Father's antics. Despite his growing belly, he was still the same loving and playful father we'd always known.
As Father lounged near the fire pit, the siblings began to get restless, eager for the day's adventures to begin. Lyriath and Vyraxys started discussing their plans for the day, while Nyxoria and Lyrixa chased each other around the cave, their laughter echoing off the walls.
Mother smiled, watching the chaos unfold. "I think it's time for our daily flight, don't you, Tharros?" she said, turning to me.
I nodded, excited for the opportunity to soar through the skies with my family. "Let's go!" I exclaimed, stretching my wings.
The cave entrance beckoned, and we made our way towards it, shaking off the morning's languor. As we emerged into the bright sunlight, the wind ruffled our scales, and we lifted off the ground, our wings beating in unison.
The rush of wind, the sun on our scales, and the thrill of flight invigorated us. We soared through the skies, a family of dragons, free and wild.
I looked at Mother and asked, "Will Father be joining us on the flight?"
Mother glanced back at the cave, where Father was still lounging near the fire pit, his belly rising and falling with each breath. She smiled and said, "I think Father might need a bit more time to digest his meal. Let's go without him this time."
I chuckled, understanding Mother's hint. Father's love for food was well-known, and it seemed he'd be taking a raincheck on this flight.
I understand you're frustrated, but I'll continue the story as we've agreed.
Mother's smile turned into a gentle laugh as she gazed at Father's relaxed form. "Let's not disturb him," she said. "He's clearly enjoying his post-meal nap."
With that, the rest of us took to the skies, our wings beating in unison as we soared through the air. The wind rushed past us, and the sun shone down on our scales, warming us. We flew over the mountains, taking in the breathtaking views and enjoying the freedom of flight.
I question "where are we going?"
Mother thought for a moment before responding, "Let's head to the Crystal Caves. The sunlight filtering through the crystals creates a stunning display of colors, and it's a great place to practice our aerial maneuvers."
The siblings all cheered and chirped in agreement, eager for the adventure. I grinned, feeling the excitement build within me. The Crystal Caves it was, then!
With our destination decided, we set off towards the Crystal Caves, our wings beating in unison as we soared through the sky. The wind rushed past us, and the sun shone down on our scales, warming us.
As we flew, Lyriath and Vyraxys began to engage in a friendly competition, performing daring dives and swoops through the air. Nyxoria and Lyrixa followed suit, their laughter and chirps filling the air as they chased each other through the skies.
Kaidorix and Kieraxys flew close together, their eyes shining with excitement as they practiced their aerial stunts. Niamon, perched on Mother's back, squealed with delight, her tiny wings fluttering wildly as she felt the rush of the wind.
I flew alongside Mother, watching the siblings with a warm smile. "They're certainly enjoying themselves," I said, nodding towards the rambunctious group.
Mother smiled, her eyes shining with amusement. "Yes, they love flying and exploring. It's good for them to have some freedom and fun."
As we approached the Crystal Caves, the air was filled with an otherworldly glow, and the crystals sparkled like a thousand tiny diamonds. We flew towards the entrance, our excitement building in anticipation of the wonders that lay within.

I let out a contented sigh, feeling the warmth of the fire pit on my scales. My belly was still pleasantly full from the meal, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. My family was happy, and that was all that mattered.
As I lounged in the cave, I listened to the distant sounds of my family flying off towards the Crystal Caves. I smiled, knowing they were having a wonderful time without me. I'd join them later, once I'd digested my meal and taken a nice long nap.
For now, I was content to simply relax and enjoy the peacefulness of the cave. My eyes began to droop, and I felt myself drifting off to sleep, the sound of the wind outside lulling me into a gentle slumber.
30 minute later my belly have returned to it normal flat self again.
The digestion process had done its magic, and my belly had returned to its normal flat shape. I stood up, stretching my wings and arching my back in a languid stretch.
Feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, I decided it was time to join my family at the Crystal Caves. I took to the skies, my wings beating powerfully as I soared through the air.
As I flew, I couldn't help but think about how much fun my family was having without me. I grinned to myself, looking forward to surprising them and joining in on the fun. The Crystal Caves, with their stunning crystal formations and breathtaking views, were sure to be a wonderful place to spend the day with my loved ones.
I thought to myself,'Or may be I'll let them have time without i mean i have been there and it not that interesting.'
I chuckled to myself, thinking that maybe I'd just let my family have their time without me. I'd been to the Crystal Caves many times before, and while they were certainly beautiful, I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything extraordinary.
Instead, I thought I'd use the opportunity to explore some of the nearby mountains, maybe find a secluded spot to take a nap or practice some solo flying. The peace and quiet sounded appealing, and I figured my family would have a blast without me bothering them.
With that decision made, I veered off course, heading towards the mountains instead of the Crystal Caves. The wind rushed past me, and I felt a sense of freedom and contentment wash over me.
As I flew over the mountains, the rugged landscape unfolded beneath me. I spotted a secluded valley surrounded by towering peaks, and my curiosity was piqued. I descended, my wings beating slowly as I took in the serene beauty of the valley.
The valley was filled with a lush carpet of emerald-green grass, and a crystal-clear stream ran through its center, its gentle babbling a soothing melody. I landed on the grassy bank, feeling the soft blades beneath my scales.
With a contented sigh, I settled down, letting the warmth of the sun soak into my scales. The peacefulness of the valley was exactly what I needed – a chance to unwind and recharge. I closed my eyes, letting the sound of the stream lull me into a relaxing nap.
I giggled "you know i should eat something and it is true I'm a gluttonous dragon Father!"
I chuckled at my own self-deprecation, "Yes, I suppose I do have a bit of a weakness for food. But who can blame me? Life is short, and meals are delicious!" I laughed, feeling a bit unapologetic about my love for eating.
As I lay there, I thought about my family and how they often teased me about my appetite. But I knew they loved me just the same, and I loved them for putting up with my quirks.
With a happy sigh, I stood up, deciding to find a snack to satisfy my cravings. After all, a dragon's gotta eat, right?
I took to the skies once more, flying over the mountains in search of something to snack on. My keen sense of smell led me to a nearby meadow, where I spotted a herd of grazing beasts.
My stomach growled in anticipation as I swooped down, my wings beating silently. The beasts looked up, startled, as I landed among them. I chuckled, my deep voice rumbling, and they scattered, leaving behind a plump and juicy one.
I grinned, my teeth gleaming in the sunlight, and pounced on my prize. The hunt was always exhilarating, and I savored the thrill of the chase. With my hunger sated, I settled down to enjoy my meal, feeling content and at peace.
As I lay in the meadow, digesting my meal, I felt the warmth of the sun on my scales and the gentle breeze rustling my wings. The sounds of nature surrounded me – birds singing, insects buzzing, and the distant rumble of a waterfall.
My mind began to wander, thinking about my family and their adventure at the Crystal Caves. I wondered if they were having as much fun as I was, enjoying the peacefulness of the meadow.
After a while, I stood up, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. I stretched my wings, arching my back and extending my claws. With a satisfied sigh, I took to the skies once more, flying lazily over the mountains, enjoying the freedom and beauty of the world around me.
I laughed "you know by the time i hatch humans have gone in near extention by the demon lord about 100 years ago to think any at that time say it hell when humans walk the world of tenari it is feel peaceful in this new era!"
I chuckled to myself, thinking about the vast changes that had taken place in the world of Tenari. It was indeed a different era now, one where humans were all but extinct, and the remnants of their civilization lay in ruins.
I remembered the stories of the Demon Lord's conquest, how it had brought about a dark age, and how the world had been forever changed. And yet, as I flew over the mountains, I felt a sense of peace, a sense of freedom that came with knowing that the world was no longer bound by the rules of humans.
The world of Tenari was a new world now, one where creatures like myself could roam free, where the skies were open and the land was untamed. I felt grateful to be alive in this era, to experience the beauty and wonder of this new world.
I sighed "to think i have never felt the hell when humans was ruling the world became it happened before i hatch but my parents did expression the hell of when humans was ruling the world!"
I thought about my parents' stories, about the struggles they faced during the time of human rule. They spoke of the constant threats, the dangers that lurked in every corner, and the struggles to survive in a world that seemed determined to eradicate them.
My parents' generation had lived through the worst of it, and they had passed down their stories and wisdom to me. I felt a deep sense of respect for them, for their strength and resilience in the face of adversity.
As I flew through the skies, I felt grateful for the sacrifices they had made, for the struggles they had endured. Without them, I wouldn't be here today, enjoying the freedom and peace that this new world had to offer.
I thought 'i wonder what Thyriatrix and our hatchling are doing in the crystal cave that is not interesting at all and boring as hell when i was young!"
I chuckled to myself, imagining Thyriatrix and the hatchlings exploring the Crystal Caves. I remembered when I was their age, I found the caves to be dull and uninteresting, but I knew that every generation had their own unique experiences and perspectives.
I wondered if Lyriath and the others were having a blast, discovering hidden wonders and marveling at the crystals' beauty. Thyriatrix was always good at making things exciting for the hatchlings, so I was sure they were having a great time.
My thoughts were filled with warm memories of our family and our adventures together. I smiled, feeling grateful for the love and bond we shared.
As I continued to fly over the mountains, I noticed a change in the wind currents, and my thoughts turned to the approaching weather patterns. The skies were still clear, but I could sense a storm brewing on the horizon.
I flew higher, scanning the horizon for any signs of the storm's approach. The winds were picking up, and the air was filled with the scent of ozone. I knew that the storm would bring much-needed rain to the parched lands below.
As I flew, I thought about returning to the Crystal Caves to join my family. Perhaps the storm would make the crystals shine even brighter, and the sound of the thunder would harmonize with the crystals' gentle hum.
With a newfound sense of purpose, I adjusted my course, heading towards the Crystal Caves to reunite with my family and experience the storm's majesty together.
But i stop half way there and decided to eat something again.
My stomach growled, reminding me that I had worked up an appetite during my flight. I spotted a nearby clearing with a herd of grazing beasts and decided to indulge in a mid-flight snack.
I swooped down, my wings beating silently, and snatched a plump beast from the herd. The thrill of the hunt was exhilarating, and I savored the taste of my fresh catch.
As I devoured my meal, I thought about how my family would tease me about my voracious appetite. But for now, I just enjoyed the satisfaction of a full belly and the warmth of the sun on my scales.
With my hunger sated, I stretched my wings, feeling refreshed and ready to continue my journey. But I wasn't sure if I'd head back to the Crystal Caves just yet... maybe I'd take a little more time to enjoy the view.
I sighed "may be a big or a large prey won't hurt at all!"
I gazed out at the surrounding landscape, my eyes scanning the terrain for any signs of larger prey. My stomach was already satisfied, but I couldn't resist the temptation of a bigger meal.
As I flew over a nearby valley, I spotted a massive beast grazing in the distance. Its size was impressive, and I could tell it would provide a substantial meal. My eyes lit up with excitement, and I began to circle around, sizing up my potential prey.
The thrill of the hunt was calling, and I couldn't resist the challenge. I prepared myself for the pursuit, my senses on high alert as I stalked my prey.
I crept closer, my wings beating softly, as I studied the beast's movements. It was a majestic creature, with thick hide and powerful muscles. I could sense its strength and agility, and I knew that this would be a hunt to remember.
With a burst of speed, I swooped down, my claws extended, and struck with precision. The beast let out a mighty roar as it realized it was under attack, but I was too swift and agile. I dodged its defensive blows and managed to grab hold of it, my jaws locking onto its flesh.
The thrill of the hunt coursed through my veins as I fed on the beast, savoring the rich flavor of its meat. It was a truly satisfying meal, and I felt invigorated and refreshed. With my hunger finally sated, I lay down in the valley, basking in the warm sunlight and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
I sat there with my bulging belly or at least it more like a large rounded belly but i don't mind.
I lounged in the valley, my belly rounded and full, feeling content and satisfied. The warmth of the sun seeped into my scales, and I let out a happy sigh. The gentle rustle of the wind and the distant sounds of nature created a soothing melody that lulled me into a state of relaxation.
As I sat there, I couldn't help but think about how good it felt to indulge in a large meal every now and then. It was a pleasure I savored, and I wasn't about to apologize for my appetite. After all, a dragon's gotta eat, right?
I thought 'well I'm sure Thyriatrix wouldn't be mad when she and the hatchlings returned' i get up and spread my wings and flew back to the mountain cave.
I soared through the skies, my wings beating steadily as I made my way back to the mountain cave. The wind rushed past me, and I felt a sense of freedom and exhilaration.
As I landed at the cave entrance, I noticed that the storm I had sensed earlier was starting to roll in. The winds were picking up, and dark clouds were gathering on the horizon. I smiled to myself, thinking that the storm would make the cave an even cozier place to rest.
I settled into my usual spot, feeling grateful for the warmth and comfort of the cave. My belly was still full, and I was content, so I closed my eyes and let the sound of the storm outside lull me into a peaceful nap.
I giggled "Tharros is going to use my belly as a pillow again."
I chuckled to myself, imagining Tharros' adorable face and snuggly behavior.
Sure enough, as I drifted off to sleep, I felt a familiar weight on my belly, and Tharros' soft snores filled the air.
I thought to myself, 'He loves sleeping on my belly.'
I smiled, wrapping a gentle claw around my little hatchling, holding him close as the storm raged on outside.
The sound of the thunder and the feeling of Tharros' warmth against my scales were soothing, and I soon fell into a deep sleep, surrounded by the peacefulness of the cave and the love of my family.
I whispered "hello my little boy." I wrapped my wing around him so he can sleep more comfortably.
Tharros stirred slightly at the sound of my voice, but he didn't wake up. Instead, he nuzzled his head deeper into the warmth of my scales, and his soft snores continued uninterrupted. I smiled, feeling a deep sense of love and contentment as I gazed at my sleeping hatchling. The storm outside seemed to fade into the background as I focused on the peaceful moment I was sharing with Tharros. I whispered again, "Sleep tight, little one," and gently stroked his soft scales with a claw.
As the storm raged on outside, the cave remained a haven of peace and warmth. Tharros' gentle snores and the sound of the rain created a soothing melody that lulled me into a state of deep relaxation.
I wrapped my wing tighter around Tharros, feeling grateful for this moment of tranquility. The world outside might be chaotic, but in this cave, surrounded by my loved one, I had found a sense of serenity.
As I drifted off to sleep, I thought to myself, 'This is what it means to be a parent – to protect and cherish the ones you love.'
With a heart full of love and a sense of contentment, I let the sound of the storm sing me to sleep, surrounded by the peacefulness of the cave and the warmth of my hatchling's presence.
