You snuggle peacefully into the warmth of the nest, making soft and quiet chirps of content as you await the return of your mother. You are so young that your eggs shells still lie around you, mother having yet to dispose of them.

Suddenly, you let out a loud squeal as you are snatched up from the nest. Your small eyes stare into the face of the human man, said human grinning wildly and cackling to its companion, a more nervous chap who remains at the side.

"Now, boy, when have you ever seen a dragon so young? It could sell for a fortune!"

"But it's too young-" The boy tries to argue.

"Hush!" The man interrupts. "Now, quick! Before the big one returns, let's go!" The men try to dart off, but a massive tail slaps against the ground in front of them. A low snarl echoes throughout the tense silence.
