------------------------------------------------------------------------

Holy sh*t I skyrocketed in levels and what's up with the 3 new titles. I used to play some DnD back in the day so I know who Bahumat and Tiamat are but what do I have to do with them?

After clearing my head I decided to start investing my points. I'll bring wisdom up to 50, constitution up to 25, and I'll put strength and dexterity at 20. that should keep me safe for a while.. Ow! what the Hell! it feels like my head is in a vice, my flesh is tearing, and my muscles are on fire!

As I roll around on the ground in agony Sha Na just shakes her head and sighs.. "Intalru.. you put all the points in at once didn't you.." "Was I not supposed to?" I groan with my clawed fingers rubbing my scaley temples. "One or two levels wouldn't be a problem but anything more than that gets painful.. you would know that if you hatched in time for lessons." Well excuse me for being born late!

After the pain subsided I sat up slowly and called to Sha Na "Hey sis.." "Call me by my name!! INTALRU"... she just insulted me using my own name I don't know how to feel about this.. "Okay Sha Na what are our siblings like?" "What do you mean?" Shoulda figured that would be her response.. "Did you hunt with any of them before we met?" "No." Well that was helpful..

After another hour of walking in silence our place of birth came into view. Oh and Mr. Godzilla is there waiting.. Guess I better learn his name. "Appraise"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Yail Voct (Meaning: Kind person)

Race: Draconian (Swamp variant)

Sex: Female

Level: 21

Age: 67 years (Adult)

Class: Healer

Sub-class:Teacher

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I call BullSh*t!!! what kind of 'Kind person' grabs a baby by it's leg the second it's born and tosses him into the wild the first chance she gets!! "Umm Sha Na is that our mom?" "No Intalru she is the brood keeper.. our family is too busy to sit around and hatch eggs all day"

Well that's good I was worried for a second that I called my mom Sir, but if that's not my mom I wonder who laid me? Man that's still a hard concept to wrap my head around.

As we approach Yail Voct she greeted us "Hello bright eyes, I am happy to see you return so soon and so healthy!" She ran up to hug Sha Na as I stand in the background... "It looks like you didn't heed my words when I told you to let the bad egg die off on its own..."

So Kind this one is!!! I can tell I'm going to enjoy being a pain in her scaley *ss. Before Yail Voct could look at me I walked into the cave entrance planning to ignore her.. Slap! What the Hell!! she just hit me in the back of my head with her tail!

"You should greet your elders with respect lazy one.." "If a smooth skin is older than you do you have to respect them?" Sha Na's mouth drops and it looks like Yail wasn't expecting my reply.. while the two were too stunned to think I made my way into the cave.

Now before you guys think that I'm a bad guy you should know I was an orphan back on Earth and the caretaker at the orphanage looooved that stupid respect your elders line. I get it you should respect your mom and dad.. if they F*cking raised or cared for you but I don't think you should 'Have to' be nice to anyone older than you, I mean Charles Manson and Ted Bundy are older than me so should I just listen to whatever they say? What about Pedo's and abusive drunks? The answer is obviously NO! Age doesn't make you right it just means your probably gonna die before me so I 'Might' take wise words from an elder.. if they knew what they were talking about, but I'm not just gonna do whatever they want because they were born first.

Okay end of rant.. After walking deeper into the cave I could hear more of my people talking, since their voices were on the squeaky side I'm assuming they are my generation. I guess it's time to make friends now.. After coming to a split in the path I turn right, heading in the direction of the voices. Using the light being given off of the strange Glow moss I can see 9 of my brothers and sisters sitting in a circle talking amongst themselves.

"Hello siblings! it's nice to finally meet you!" I announce while making my way up to the group. "Greetings brother it's nice to see that you managed to hatch and grow healthily." A rather friendly lizard with a pair of nubs for horns growing just above where it's ears would be.. if it had any.

After Mr. friendly greeted me everyone else just nodded my way and continued their individual conversations with each other.

"Did you get to eat a 'horned clucker' yet? The legs are so juicy and remembering the way those antlers crunch as you bite them just makes my mouth water.." "Yeah they are pretty tasty but I caught a 'Tree running paddle tail' yesterday and nothing can beat the chewy texture and fatty oils I got from munching on it's tail, I was savoring it all the way home.." "Oh those are both nice but did any of you get a green eyed..."

It appears my entire race is made up of foodies... I mean it could be worse, I could have got stuck with a bunch of muscle heads and battle junkies.. As I was thanking my good fortune Mr. friendly made his way over to me. "Brother what was your favorite meal?" hmmm I probably shouldn't say I've barely managed to keep anything down because it's all been raw and bloody.. "Umm I would have to say my favorite was a 'River Monster' the meat was soft but it wasn't mushy and it had a slightly sweet after taste."

.... Everyone stopped talking instantly and two horn took a step away from me and frowned. "Brother you don't have to lie about your meals if you couldn't find anything tasty.."

huh? "But I'm not lying look!" I scrounge around in my stone sack before pulling out Mr fish's Mana stone. "See!! I took this from it's skull after me and Sha Na killed it" Ksssk! everyone hissed in.. Surprise? before Mr. friendly dropped his frown and walked up to pat me on the back.

"Sorry for doubting you brother.. it's just hard to imagine that the last to hatch could hunt the strongest monster in the forest on his first day.. but you must be pretty vain if you saved it's stone just to show off to us.. then again we never would have believed you other wise so I guess you must have thought it through.. Anyways quit showing off and absorb it already."

"Huh? you can eat these? neat!" Just as I was about to toss the stone in my mouth the friendly one stopped me in a panic. "NOOO! don't do that!!, are you trying to kill yourself!"

"You said I could absorb it?" "YES!! absorb not eat! didn't you listen to Yail Voct?!?!" "Oh you must be talking about the scaley monster that just chucked me out the cave the second I was born.." .... Why does my new friend look so pale? Sh*t! she's behind me isn't sh...

Thunk! "Oww! you hit me for speaking the tr.." Thunk! Thunk! "I hit you for your disrespectful mouth whelp!" Yep she was behind me.. I covered my head and rolled away into the crowd of my siblings and while ducking and weaving around them I decided to spread more.. 'Truths'.

"You threw me from the cave the moment I opened my eyes and taught me nothing!, so I owe you nothing! why should I respect a brood keeper that didn't teach me! You told Sha Na I was a lost cause before I even hatched!" As I kept the distance between us using my poor siblings as shields I realized that Yail Voct is much slower than I am.

"How can you be so fast! What level are you whelp!" she gasped out and began breathing heavy with her hands on her scaley knees. Before I could reply a very familiar familial voice rung out "Intalru is level 12 and has saved my life multiple times, brood keeper if you keep trying to hurt him I will attack you in your sleep!" Aww there's the psycho sister that remains devoted to her savior.

""""LEVEL12?!?!"""" Apparently no one was expecting that.. After the violence and noise settled down I turned to Sha Na and hold the Mana stone up. "How do I absorb these?" "Oops.. I forgot to tell you.. just hold it tight and pull the energy into your body."... Figures I get another vague answer. I close my eyes to concentrate on the stone when...

Ding!... Mana sense reached level 1... Why does she sound so cold to me now? Aaanyways I could feel a surge of cool air right in front of my chest where I keep the two pouches on a necklace and an even stronger feeling in my hand. "Hmmm" as I concentrate harder on the energy in my hand I felt a slight wisp of cool air wrap around my body when suddenly the Mana stone I was holding disappeared.

Ding! ... Attunement with the water element has reached 2% attunement with the earth element has reached 0.5%... She seriously sounds kinda mad at me, what happened to the beautiful and sweet lady that was in my head?

Ding! Title 'Ignorant hero' has been awarded to you for special actions would you like to equip it? "Huh!?" I accidentally gasped in surprise and open my eyes to see everyone staring at me.. "Ahem um the stone is gone.." "Of course it is Intalru you absorbed it.." Sha Na shook her head and tried to push me. guess she forgot about our strength difference again...
