Kirishima's P.O.V
I smiled up at my mother who was looking around the field. She was laying down, soaking up the sun with her scarlett scales. Her gold eyes scan the area as her nostrils flare. She is alert and smells danger. I was too young to have noticed. I run after a butterfly and flap my small wings agresively. I have yet learned how to fly. Another month or two and I would have been taught that along with basic haunting skills. My mother was soft and kind, she thought I could be better off knowing hunting later after am a strong flyer. My mother snorts in warning but I keep playing. I started getting out of her zone and followed after the butterfly as it flew to the woods. "Eijiro" she snaps her jaws. I froze and turn back to look at her. "Come were leaving" she said as a low snarl leaves her. I run back to her and she flattens her wing and tail. I climbed into her back and snuggle close. She stood and arched her wings to hide me.
The butterfly flys back to us as Mom starts to walk through the field. It's was glowing as it flew. It was white and blue. I stared at it as it flew closer to Mom's wing. It changed from blue to red as it lands. Suddenly it admits a large blinding light before a large boom is heard. Mom roars in pain and flattens her wing. I claw at my eyes as my ears ring. Suddenly more of those glowing butterflies surrounded mom. She growls and snarls as she moved her body to protect me. "Cowards! Face me !" Yelled mom as more explode down her body. I curl into a ball as I cry, scared out of my little mind. Mom roars and breathes out fire to destroy the butterflies. They explode once lit up. A small army of men in strange armor run out as two in cloaks stay back. Mom roared. She breathes a fire circle around us. "Ei I need you to run and not look back. Hide until I come get you okay?" Said mom flattening her tail. "But momma-" "Ei.. please" she said looking back at me. I nod as I wipe at a tear.
I slide down her back and run. I run out of the fire and down the field. I kept running not looking back like mom told me. I only stoped once I reached the other side near the tree line. I looked back at regretted it. My mother was bloody and was covered with arrows and explosive butterflies. She roared out as she faught the men who stab at her with charmed swords. She was losing so much blood and energy. I was sure this is the last time I would see her alive. Tears roll down my face as I turn back and ran. I ran deeper into the woods until a butterfly cut me off. I stop and looked around frantically. More butterflies circle me. I was trapped.
A woman with long black hair, red eyes wore a long blue cloak. She walked up to me and bends down. "Shh..it's okay little guy. Am not going to hurt you" she whispered sweetly. I believed her and when she put her hand out, I walked up to her. She smiled softly and pets me behind the fin. I purr and turn for more pets. She giggled softly and suddenly she picks me up. "Shh it's okay. We're going to take you somewhere safe, somewhere warm with a good meal" she said smiling. She pets me and chants something under her breath. I start to feel sleepy and soon I passed out.
I woke up in an ice cold cage. A bowl was filled with fish and chunks of red meat. A small red blanket sat in there opposite corner. I shivered and looked around. The woman had lied with kind eyes. The cage was dark due to the large blanket covering the cage. I whine and cry as I curl up in the red blanket. I heard voices talking then fighting. "We can train him with love and kindness! A loyal dragon could benefit the kingdom!" Yelled a familiar voice. Was that the woman? It sounds like her. "Don't be ridiculous we can make him fear us and do our bitting. He can fight in the arena and make us money! Either way it's just a mindless beast" said a deeper voice. A man and by the closeness he is the one holding the cage. "But that's cr-" "Cruel? Honey life is cruel this beast just learned it early. Now go back to report to the village and tell them we took care of the dragon" the man said. "Yes your highness" she said unhappily.
