Day 1
I feel something outside my rapidly cracking shell. I smash my head against my shell again and again. I break out, and watch the last traces of things with wings, trapped in cages, being pulled along by humanoid creatures with beards and tall hats. I try to run after them. The things shout, "Your names are Athena, Holly and Speedy..!" Names? I look behind me and see bits of shell on the floor. I feel four feelings wash over me at once. Sorrow, anger, confusion... and wonder.
"Hi weird yellow twisty corkscrew thingy with brown eyes, brown horns, what looks like a beard, a flame on its tail and yellow and silver wings!" says a strange purple or dark blue creature with wings that look like crystals or snowflakes, a cream underbelly, and light blue eyes. "Umm... Hi?" I say. "I think I'm... Ateno? No, Aheehah? No, wait, Athena!"
"Hey, your eggshell says Victory dragon! Mine says Fourth Snowflake dragon! And that unhatched one over there says Surprise dragon! I think I'm Holly, by the way." says Holly. The other egg starts cracking. A little green thing pops out, yells, "SURPRISE! I'm hatched! And since your names are Athena and Holly, I'm gonna be called Speedy! Suits me!" and dashes round us in a circle.
"And I thought I was a chatterbox..." says Holly, falling over. The little thing stops for a moment to catch its breath. It has what looks like fins on its head, three horns, wings, and big eyes. "Alright Speedy," I say. "I'll take Holly. We have to go in this direction." I say, starting to fly just above the wheel tracks. "We must follow the wheel tracks!"
"Why?" he asks.
"Because that's where the other dragons are."
"Kay. What's in it for me?"
"You get to meet your family."
"Cool!" We start flying together, me with Holly on my back, him darting all over the place, and the sun setting.
4 hours later...
Finally! We reach an oasis, a forest close by. "We'll sleep here for tonight. I don't want to get lost in the dark."
"Ditto..." mumbles Holly, half asleep.
"Me too..." yawns Speedy, lying down on one of three beds of leaves he made for everyone in five seconds. I drag Holly onto one, and settle down on the last one. I get into a good position, and drift off to sleep...
