"Ccu, fu"
I'm really trying to start speaking but words just struggle to co out.
I'm still unsure why these two don't talk and use that telekinesis thing. I want to na it sothing else but the only thing I could up with is telecommunications but that doesn't work either.
It's been maybe a month or two since my birth, actually it could be a lot longer but I really don't have a clue. Ti seems to flow quite quickly in this cave despite there not being much to do. Speaking, no, communicating with my parents seems to pass the ti even more though. Considering both of them have thousands of years' experience between them, they don't actually communicate a lot.
Well, except when they are feeling frisky. Thankfully, both of them leave the cave when that happens sparing this bird's innocent eyes. Actually, I'm not innocent. I did live as a man for twenty-three years before this. That sounds a little sus so I'm going to move on.
I haven't actually gone close to the cave entrance yet because I'm sure there's no path going down. I've only ever seen both the dragons fly in and out of it and I really don't fancy falling off the edge. Being afraid of heights is a reasonable fear, alright?
This cave is actually perfectly suited for dragons. I don't see how a human could realistically climb up this high and even get up here. If they didn't have to hunt for food, then the dragons would never have to leave.
That reminds , I'm able to eat food by myself now. I still need a little help getting the fur of the animal but I can chew, no, I don't have teeth so it wouldn't be chewing. Using my beak, I can rip small parts off the animal and then swallow it. I do worry a bit about choking but there's not much else I can do.
I've grown a decent size bigger and my legs are starting to get a lot a lot stronger as well. They have to because my wings are useless for carrying or picking anything up. My claws have gotten a lot sharper and stronger as well. Or is it talons?
Anyway, back to trying to speak. While I'm practicing, mother arrives back ho with food for the day.
'What is that?'
'Never like that. They wild, correct?'
Hearing the fear inside my head coming from her, I held my breath without question. She quickly picked up and we started to leave the cave.
Once we left the cave, I was chucked onto mother's back and she started to fly circling the mountain.
'What just happened?'
Don't look down, the dragon I'm on won't drop . Just don't, look, down.
'But he only laughed'
I hate this. Flying is horrible. Talons, don't let go of her back.
'I'm… sorry'
A little ti passed while we were flying about. I was still trying to ignore my completely rational fear of heights. Then, the black dragon's head snuck out the cave entrance.
It was just then I realized sothing bad.
'Wait, what about the egg?'
I actually feel sorry a little for father. It was my fault he laughed.
Once we got back inside, I still wanted to confirm if it was okay. Checking the egg up and down, I couldn't see any damage or cracks fortunately. The purple gas seed to have cleared up as well.
'Why hasn't it hatched yet anyways?'
He is telling off. He might just be irritated that I made him laugh so I'll let it slide.
I guess it's safe to eat the horses then? I wonder how he cleared out the poison though.

"Fu, I miss my arms"
It actually didn't take long to learn how to speak after saying my first curse. The next day I started practicing how to say mum and dad since most first words always seem to be parent related. Several weeks later and I can now speak full sentences.
I'm actually not sure what the na of the language I'm speaking in is called. Telekinesis always sounded like English in my brain but when I speak, it sounds completely different. I can understand it though.
"Don't get jealous just cause I can speak and you can't"
I'm unsure how to describe the sound of my voice. It definitely sounds feminine but I'm unsure if it even sounds human or not. I am a damn bird, probably explains why.
He looked grumpy while leaving. In his defence, I have been speaking out loud a lot recently. Should I apologize when he gets back?
"I'm getting a little bored now though"
"What kind of ga? No, I'm a little old for sothing like that"
"Even If I did, where would I even hide or run? You can see everything in this cave from where we are right now, tis stupid"
"You have no idea"
Then an idea ca to mind while I was talking and facing mother.
'System, can I view other people's status?'
[]
As soon the system answered, a different transparent status opened above my mother.
[Na: Kellearzar | Species: Dragon | Level: 1,000]
[Health 100,000/100,000]
[Stamina 74,737/75,000]
[Magicka 75,000/75,000]
[. Please note, 166,666 is maximum allowed for one stat]
"Mother, just what the hell are you made of? Your stats are insane!?"
"Imagine there was a box above your head which in numbers showed how powerful you are. Yours, would be five hundred tis bigger than mine"
She seems a little to humble for her own good if I'm being honest.
"I don't think you understand how mighty this is. You might be the most powerful existence in the world"
I get the feeling this happens so frequently that I'm hoping it shouldn't take that long for it be resolved. I'll try and help by changing the subject. Oh, I'll should ask that.
"Mother, is there any way of changing into a human?"
"I was a human before rember. I kinda miss it and besides, arms, thumbs and teeth are pretty useful to"
As much as I like to scream and shout about how stupid being a bird is, there is so positives, the most obvious would be flying. It's just a sha I'm scared of heights.
"Why not?"
Father instantly gets shut up my mother. I'm not sure how these two can tell, probably so sort of dragon tongue magic crap.
"I could push it over to check"
'I wonder what his status is like?'
[Na: _____ | Species: Dragon | Level: 5]
[Health 450/450]
[Stamina 400/400]
[Magicka 400/400]
"HOW THE HELL IS THAT FAIR?"
