The birth

I'm hesitant to run for the door now before the reptile is free from its prison but I'm not sure my body is ready to run and I'm sure falling alongside the reptile would condemn me to death if the beast turns out to be aggressive.

This time of reflection had deprived me of this choice because the reptile is now free of these movements, turned in front of me and looks me straight in the eye.

The beast is impressive! How can what I have in front of my eyes be a newborn? He must be 30cm at the withers and he is almost as long as I am tall. It is completely black with reflections of a dark purple, folded wings that we guess of an equally impressive size for a newborn.

His eyes are striking, his reptilian pupils are the same color as his body and they are surrounded by an amber colored iris with visible mottling.

In my condition I have little hope of surviving if this be …, wait…. SHIT it's a DRAGON!

Why was a dragon by my side all this time? And why did he decide to hatch the moment I touched him???

My thoughts were soon interrupted by the dragon closing in on me, its proximity tensed me up like never before and I flexed all my muscles and got into position to dodge and run away if I find the opportunity, my muscles screamed in annoyance but I ignored them.

When the dragon saw me change my posture, it immediately stopped, its posture in turn changed and growled slightly.

We stayed like that for a few seconds and I realized that he had put himself in an attack posture when I put myself in a defensive posture.

I slowly resumed a natural posture the dragon was still watching me but in turn, he resumed his original posture, he approached again but a little more slowly.

I tensed up again but tried my best not to move lest he react badly.

I could feel my pulse pounding in my temples as he came in front of me he was still looking me straight in the eye and once he got in front of me he started sniffing my legs and hands then laying those front paws on me then the torso.

He stared at me again then he brought his head and his face closer to my hand, I couldn't suppress a movement of my hand back, he immediately growled at me again, as if to ask me to put it back on. my hand instead.

I didn't really have a choice to obey if I tried anything he was already on me and I had no chance of running away so I slowly put my hand back where it was and he stopped growl as soon as I start the movement.

Once the hand was replaced he put his muzzle on my hand, at that moment, a strong burning sensation appeared on my hand.

The pain once again made me cringe, I took several steps back, until I fell on my bed.

What is happening ? I didn't see him spit fire though! The burn was intense but it dissipated as it had appeared, without explanation and instantly.

I look at the dragon again and see that it hadn't moved while I was burning , it continues to stare at me...

Suddenly I felt a presence…. A presence in my head!
