1928. Greater Flames

"Weak! That is what you are. A dragon that can not even breathe flames! How dare you show yourself to me! If you were not the only hatchling in the last fifty years, you would have been thrown out of the village with the other trash!" 

This was just one of the many roars of anger and hatred that came down from the largest of the fire dragons gathered on the highest volcano in the mountain range. It had only been ten years since the little flame dragon hatchling has been dioscovered to be the only dragon egg to have hatched. The others had failed to break from the shells that ahd protected them while their parents watched over the nest. 

This was not unusual for dragons. Even other creatures would have these issues once in a while. Only those that were strong enough to hatch from the egg could be cared for. Not a single dragon would dare break the egg for another hatchling. If they did, it was the same as accepting that the hatchling helped was lesser.
