I gritted my teeth, trying to bear the pain. Tharros was still pushing his way out, and I could feel my scales scraping against each other. Thyriatrix placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder, her eyes locked on mine.
"Hang in there, Aetherius," she whispered. "Just a little longer."
Lyriath took a step forward, concern etched on her face. "Mother, can we do something to help?"
Thyriatrix smiled weakly. "Just being here for your father is helping, sweetie. Now, let's just focus on getting Tharros out safely..."
Thyriatrix stocking my head
Thyriatrix stroked my head, her touch gentle and soothing. "You're doing great, Aetherius. Just breathe through the pain."
I took a deep breath, trying to relax, but it was no use. Tharros was still pushing, and I could feel myself being stretched to the limit.
Tharros is slowly moving out, and I grunted by Tharros getting out slow
Thyriatrix continued to stroke my head, her eyes locked on mine. "You're almost there, Aetherius. Just a little more." I grunted again, feeling Tharros's slow progress. It was like he was savoring the moment, making his exit as dramatic as possible.
Thyriatrix chuckled softly. "I think Tharros is enjoying this a bit too much." I managed a weak laugh, but it was cut short by another grunt. Tharros was almost out, and I could feel the relief washing over me...
Tharros shouted, "HELLO THERE IT WAS FUN INSIDE YOUR STOMACH FATHER!"
I stared at Tharros, my mouth agape, as he stood before me, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. Thyriatrix burst out laughing, and our other children giggled at Tharros's bold declaration.
"Fun?!?" I repeated, still trying to process the ordeal I had just endured. "You think being squeezed through a tiny opening was fun?!?"
Tharros still half out said "look I was trying to eliminate all the humans that you eat yesterday because it gives you pain, and I can't bear to look at it didn't all my siblings already towards you that?" I nodded
Tharros's words struck a chord within me, and I felt a surge of pride and love for my son. His concern for my well-being, even if it meant taking drastic measures, was admirable.
I nodded again, my eyes welling up with emotion. "Yes, Tharros, your siblings did warn me, but I...I didn't listen." I paused, collecting my thoughts. "But I'm proud of you for trying to protect me, even if it was in your own...unique way."
I sighed. "Thank you, Tharros!"
Tharros beamed with pride, his grin stretching from ear to ear. "You're welcome, Father!" He exclaimed, finally sliding out of me completely. Thyriatrix rushed to his side, embracing him warmly.
Pov Tharros
I beamed with pride as Father thanked me. I had done it! I had protected him from the humans that gave him pain. I felt a warmth in my chest, knowing that I had made Father happy.
Mother rushed to my side, embracing me warmly. "We're so proud of you, Tharros," she whispered, her voice filled with emotion.
I looked up at Father, who was smiling at me with tears in his eyes. I felt a sense of satisfaction, knowing that I had made a difference.
I question, "How are you feeling now, Father?"
Father took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling slowly. "I'm feeling...relieved, Tharros," he said, a hint of a smile on his face. "The pain is starting to subside, and I'm grateful that you were able to...ah...remove the source of the discomfort." He chuckled weakly, and I could see the tension in his body begin to ease.
Suddenly my siblings look at him
Father nodded slowly, his white scales glistening in the soft light. "I'll be fine, Lyriath. Just a bit... shaken up." He attempted a reassuring smile, but it faltered slightly. Mother wrapped a supportive arm around his shoulders, her light green scales a comforting presence beside his albino ones.
All my siblings said it in unison. "Now it our turn! To get in! Come on, Father, open your mouth!"
I excited said "Yes do it! It was fun!" Father looked at Mother."I can't you allow it all because you can't handle their puppy dog eyes!" He said
Mother chuckled and playfully rolled her eyes. "Oh, Aetherius, you're such a softie," she teased, her light green scales glimmering with amusement. "But I suppose it's only fair that the others get to experience the... erm... 'joy' of being inside you." She smiled slyly at Father, who shook his head in resignation.
Mother looked at me. "Tharros, you're in charge of making sure they know where to go!" I nodded
Father pleaded, "Can't we do this later?!"
I grinned mischievously, my silver scales glinting with excitement. "No way, Father! It's now or never!" I exclaimed, rubbing my hands together in anticipation. My siblings cheered and high-fived each other, their scales glimmering with enthusiasm. Mother chuckled and patted Father's shoulder. "It's too late for regrets, dear. The children are excited. Let's get this... unusual... family bonding experience started!"
Mother chuckled. "I mean, I can't refuse to a puppy dog eyes!"
Father let out a dramatic sigh, throwing his hands up in defeat. "I'm surrounded by manipulators!" he exclaimed, shaking his head in mock exasperation. My siblings and I burst out laughing, and even Mother couldn't help but giggle at Father's over-the-top reaction.
Lyriath looks at me. "Want to get back in there, Tharros?!"
I grinned, feeling a thrill of excitement. "Heck yeah, Lyriath! Last one in is a rotten scale!" I exclaimed, charging towards Father's open mouth alongside my siblings. Father's eyes widened in mock horror as we all piled in, eager to start our wild adventure inside his stomach once again.
Lyriath uses his shadowly thing to pin his father head to the ground
Father's eyes widened in surprise as Lyriath's dark, shadowy tendrils wrapped around his head, holding it in place. "Lyriath, what are you doing?!" Father exclaimed, his voice muffled by the shadowy restraints. I chuckled, impressed by Lyriath's cunning move. "I think Lyriath wants to make sure you don't try to escape, Father!" I teased, grinning at Lyriath's mischievous grin.
Pov Aetherius
The indignity. One moment I'm enjoying a peaceful afternoon with my family, and the next, my own children are piling into my stomach like it's some sort of amusement park attraction.
And to make matters worse, Lyriath has seen fit to restrain me with his shadowy tendrils, ensuring I couldn't even attempt to escape this absurdity.
I swear, being a father is a never-ending adventure...
I let out a deep sigh, feeling the weight of my children's antics settling upon me. Thyriatrix, my loving wife, stood by, a amused glint in her eye. I shot her a pleading look, hoping she would intervene, but she just chuckled and shook her head. I was on my own.
My mouth is forced to open wide open for them to be able to get in there
Pov Tharros
I grinned mischievously as I watched Father's mouth being forced open, his white scales glistening in the light. "Alright, siblings! Time to get cozy!" I exclaimed, leading the charge into Father's stomach. Lyriath, Vyraxys, Nyxoria, Lyrixa, Kaidorix, and even Kieraxys all followed close behind, eager to experience the thrill of being inside Father's belly.
Pov Aetherius
I shrieks in terror
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! MY CHILDREN ARE TRYING TO DRIVE ME MAD!!!!!!" I shrieked in terror, my voice echoing through the air as my own offspring poured into my stomach like a swarm of eager explorers. The sensation was utterly bewildering, and I couldn't help but wonder what other forms of torture they had in store for me. Thyriatrix, my loving wife, stood by, laughing at my misfortune. "You're such a softie, Aetherius!" she teased, clearly enjoying my distress.
Lyriath smiled. "I use a barrier for me and my siblings so we won't get digested from your stomach acid!"
Relief washed over me, followed by a healthy dose of embarrassment. Of course, Lyriath would think of that. I shouldn't have doubted my son's resourcefulness. "Well, I suppose that's some small comfort," I muttered, trying to maintain a semblance of dignity despite the absurd situation. "Just... try not to make yourselves too comfortable in there, okay?"
I sigh. "So 1 at the time since Kieraxys is only lest then 1 year old while the rest are 4 years old, so 1 at the time!"
Kaidorix eyes gleaming "so that mean we can squeeze through at once!" I try to get out of Lyriath dark elements that pin me down to the ground but no use
"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! NOT ALL AT ONCE, YOU LITTLE SCALLYWAGS!" I bellowed, struggling against Lyriath's shadowy restraints. But it was too late, Kaidorix had already taken my words as a challenge. I felt a surge of panic as all six of my children prepared to squeeze into my stomach at the same time. This was going to be a disaster...
Pov Tharros
As me and Lyriath and Vyraxys and Nyxoria and Lyrixa and Kaidorix are prepared to get in and squeeze into our father stomach at the same time
Pov Aetherius
I thought, my mind racing with terror, 'My stomach is going to explode!' as all six of my children prepared to squeeze into my stomach at the same time.
Lyriath's barrier would protect them from my stomach acid, but what about the sheer physical space?! It was absurd, impossible, and yet... they were all looking at me with such eager, mischievous grins.
I was at their mercy, pinned down by Lyriath's dark elements. This was going to be a very, very bad idea...
Thyriatrix is sanding near me and watching it happen "Aetherius I will be here, dear." she smiled, trying to clear me up, but it didn't
I gazed up at Thyriatrix, her light green scales glistening in the soft light. Her warm smile was meant to be reassuring, but it only seemed to highlight the absurdity of the situation.
"Aetherius, I will be here, dear," she said, her voice gentle, but I could sense the amusement lurking beneath.
I shot her a pleading look, hoping she would intervene, but she just chuckled and patted my head. "I think you're in good hands... or rather, good stomachs," she teased, her eyes sparkling with mirth.
Tharros and Lyriath and Vyraxys and Nyxoria and Lyrixa and Kaidorix ran and try to squeezed their way in
I felt a surge of panic as all six of my children attempted to squeeze into my stomach at the same time. It was a chaotic, squirming mass of scales and limbs, each one trying to push their way in.
Tharros's silver scales glinted in the light, while Lyriath's navy blue and blood red scales seemed to darken with excitement. Vyraxys's dark bronze scales brushed against Nyxoria's amethyst ones, and Lyrixa's rose gold scales shone brightly as she giggled with glee. Kaidorix's forest green scales seemed to blend in with the surroundings as he whooped with excitement.
I could feel my stomach stretching, protesting the invasion, but Lyriath's barrier held strong, protecting them from the digestive juices. This was utter madness...
Kieraxys is getting ready to get in next
Just when I thought it was all over, Kieraxys, my little copper-scaled mischief maker, was getting ready to join the chaos. I felt a sense of resignation wash over me as I realized that I was about to have all seven of my children inside my stomach at the same time.
Thyriatrix chuckled and patted my head again, "I think you're doing great, dear." I shot her a sideways glance, wondering if she was enjoying this spectacle a bit too much.
And I was finally free from Lyriath dark elements
The sweet taste of freedom! As Lyriath's dark elements released their hold on me, I sprang to my feet, stretching my limbs and arching my back in a languid stretch.
But my relief was short-lived, as I gazed down at my stomach, now bulging with the presence of all seven of my children. I let out a deep sigh, wondering what other surprises the day might hold...
I sigh. "Since we can't hear them, but they can hear us, so" i pause
"...let's hope they're not getting into too much trouble in there," I continued, my voice laced with a mix of amusement and concern. I glanced over at Thyriatrix, who was watching me with an knowing glint in her eye. "I swear, being a parent is a never-ending adventure..."
I can feel them moving around in my stomach
The sensation was...unsettling, to say the least. I could feel my children squirming and wriggling around inside my stomach, their scales brushing against my inner walls. It was a strange, ticklish feeling that made me want to laugh and squirm at the same time.
I looked down at my stomach, watching as it rippled and bulged with their movements. "I hope they're not playing some sort of game in there," I muttered, half-jokingly. Thyriatrix chuckled and patted my arm, "Oh, I'm sure they'll be fine, dear."
And they kick
I winced as a series of sharp kicks reverberated through my stomach. It felt like they were having some sort of energetic martial arts tournament in there.
"Ow, ow, ow!" I exclaimed, laughing. "Alright, alright! I think you've made your point, kids!" I rubbed my stomach, trying to soothe the kicking and squirming going on inside. Thyriatrix giggled and shook her head, "You're going to have your hands full with that bunch, Aetherius."
Thyriatrix question to them, "Are you kicking because that is a game you are doing? If yes, kick once if there's no kick that means no!" And all 7 of them kick
Thyriatrix's eyes sparkled with amusement as she asked the question. And then, in perfect synchrony, all 7 of my children kicked once, making my stomach jump.
I laughed, holding my stomach. "I think we have our answer, Thyriatrix! They're definitely playing some sort of game in there!" Thyriatrix grinned, "Well, at least they're having fun!"
All 7 of them kick and squirm, and I have to deal with it
I stumbled around, laughing and wincing in equal measure as all 7 of my children continued to kick and squirm inside my stomach. It was like they were having the time of their lives in there, and I was just along for the ride.
Thyriatrix watched me with a mixture of amusement and sympathy, "Do you need some help, Aetherius? Maybe I can...calm them down?" I shook my head, still chuckling, "No, no, I think I'll just...roll with it. Literally, it seems."
Thyriatrix chuckled. "What do you like them kicking inside you!" I look at her and blush. I look away
My face grew hot with embarrassment as Thyriatrix's teasing words hit their mark. I looked away, trying to composed myself, but I could feel my blush deepening.
Thyriatrix's laughter was like music, warm and melodious, and it only made me feel more self-conscious. I cleared my throat, trying to change the subject, but before I could say anything, the kicking and squirming inside my stomach intensified, making me wince and laugh at the same time.
I nodded slowly
The kicking and squirming continued, and I could feel my children's energetic movements radiating throughout my body. I nodded slowly, resigned to the fact that this was my reality for the time being.
Thyriatrix's smile softened, and she reached out to gently place a hand on my stomach. "They're just having fun, Aetherius," she said, her voice warm and reassuring. "Enjoy the moment."
I sat down as I felt them kicking and squirming crazy
I plopped down onto the nearest surface, laughing and holding my stomach as the kicking and squirming reached new heights. It was like they were having some sort of wild party in there!
Thyriatrix sat down beside me, a look of amusement still on her face. "I think they're enjoying themselves," she said, her voice dripping with understatement. I just nodded, still chuckling, and shook my head in wonder.
I smiled "Wow this does show how strong they are, too!" Their kicking and squirming getting more active
I grinned, impressed despite myself. "I mean, to be able to move around like that inside me... they're definitely getting stronger!" The kicking and squirming grew even more vigorous, as if they were showing off their skills.
Thyriatrix laughed. "I think they're trying to prove a point, Aetherius!" She patted my stomach, and I could feel her warmth and energy transferring to my children, encouraging them to keep going.
As they kept kicking and squirming and their kick bulge were getting more obvious
Pov Thyriatrix
I watched with delight as Aetherius's stomach continued to ripple and bulge with the kicks and squirms of the seven little ones inside. Their energy was infectious, and I found myself grinning from ear to ear.
As the kicks grew stronger, the bulges became more pronounced, and I could see the outlines of tiny feet and elbows pushing against Aetherius's skin. I reached out, gently tracing the curves of the bulges with my fingers, marveling at the miracle of life unfolding before me.
Aetherius looked up at me, laughing, and I met their eyes with a warm smile. "They're certainly making their presence known," I said, chuckling.
Pov Aetherius
I couldn't help but laugh at the sight of my stomach, which was now resembling a restless, kicking landscape. The seven little ones inside me were going wild, their tiny feet and elbows poking out in every direction.
Thyriatrix's eyes sparkled with amusement as she reached out to gently touch the bulges on my stomach. I felt a surge of affection for her, grateful for her presence and support during this wild ride.
As I looked down at my stomach, I felt a sense of wonder and awe at the tiny lives growing inside me. They were already so full of energy and personality, and I couldn't wait to meet them properly.
I thought to myself,'never thought in my dragon life I have to end up letting them get in my stomach to play around in there'
The irony wasn't lost on me. As a powerful dragon, I was used to soaring through the skies, breathing fire, and commanding respect. But now, here I was, with seven tiny dragons frolicking inside my stomach like it was some sort of draconic playground.
I chuckled to myself, shaking my head in wonder. Who would have thought that my life would take such a dramatic turn? Certainly not me, that's for sure. But as I felt the kicks and squirms inside me, I couldn't help but feel a sense of joy and gratitude for this unexpected twist.
One particularly forceful kick landed, making me gasp and double over. The pressure was intense, and for a moment, I thought I might actually scream. Thyriatrix's eyes widened in surprise, and she rushed to my side, concern etched on her face.
"Whoa, easy there, little one!" she exclaimed, laughing. I took a few deep breaths, trying to compose myself. "I think someone's getting a bit too strong," I said, grinning.
I sigh "Ok how long will you 7 finish playing and get out of my stomach?" Thyriatrix chuckled and nuzzled me
Thyriatrix's chuckle was music to my ears, and her gentle nuzzle made me feel a bit better. I smiled, looking down at my stomach, where the kicking and squirming continued unabated.
"I think they're having too much fun to stop anytime soon," Thyriatrix said, her voice teasing. I playfully rolled my eyes, laughing. "Great, just what I needed. A stomach full of hyperactive dragonlets."
As I spoke, one of the dragonlets landed a particularly strong kick, making me wince and double over. Thyriatrix laughed and wrapped her arms around me, holding me steady.
"Oh, I think they're just getting started," she said, her eyes sparkling with amusement. I groaned, laughing, and shook my head.
Just then, the kicking and squirming stopped, and an eerie silence fell over my stomach. I looked up at Thyriatrix, puzzled. "What's going on? Did they finally tire themselves out?"
Thyriatrix's grin faltered, and she looked at me with a curious expression. "I don't think so," she said slowly. "I think they're...listening."
Pov Tharros
I stood watchfully, my silver scales glinting in the dim light of our confined space. My siblings and I, all seven of us, were nestled inside our Father's stomach, each bursting with energy and life. I sensed a knowing presence from my siblings, each with their unique personalities. Lyriath seemed particularly mischievous, Vyraxys calm and collected, while Nyxoria appeared to be plotting something. Lyrixa was focused, Kaidorix eager, and Kieraxys...Kieraxys seemed to be watching me with an intensity that made me feel like he was trying to communicate something.
As we suddenly fell silent, I felt a shiver run down my spine. Something was about to change. I could sense it. Our Father's stomach muscles shifted, and I felt a gentle pressure. I wondered what would happen next, and whether our Mother would be able to sense the change too.
Pov Aetherius
I sighed. "Look like they are listening to our conversation, Thyriatrix!" I rubbed my belly
Thyriatrix's eyes sparkled with amusement. "I think you're right, dear," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "They seem to be paying attention." She gently placed her hand on my stomach, alongside mine.
As we stood there, frozen in anticipation, I could sense the six 4-year-old minds and one tiny, less-than-a-year-old mind inside me, absorbing every word, every emotion. The older ones, Tharros, Lyriath, Vyraxys, Nyxoria, Lyrixa, and Kaidorix, seemed to be listening intently, while the little one, Kieraxys, was more focused on squirming around and exploring his surroundings.
I looked at Thyriatrix, and she smiled, her light green scales glinting in the soft light. "I think they're going to be quite the handful," she said, her voice full of affection. I chuckled, rubbing my belly again. "I think you might be right."
And they go back to kicking and squirming again
The brief moment of silence was over, and the six 4-year-old dragonlets and one tiny, less-than-a-year-old dragonlet inside me resumed their energetic kicking and squirming. I winced, laughing, as a particularly strong kick landed.
Thyriatrix giggled, her eyes shining with amusement. "I think they're done listening for now," she said, her voice teasing. I rubbed my belly, trying to soothe the rambunctious bunch inside.
"Easy, little ones," I said, chuckling. "Father's stomach isn't a playground, you know." But my words only seemed to encourage them, and the kicking and squirming grew more intense.
Thyriatrix question, "How are you feeling right now?! dear!"
I took a deep breath, trying to assess my current state. The kicking and squirming inside me was quite intense, but I was a dragon, after all. I was built to withstand a few roughhousing youngsters.
"I'm...managing," I said, smiling wryly at Thyriatrix. "Though I'm not sure how much more of this I can take. It's like they're trying to kick their way out of here!" I laughed, rubbing my belly again.
Thyriatrix's expression turned sympathetic, and she reached out to gently stroke my scales. "Just a little while longer, dear," she said soothingly. "They'll settle down soon."
Thyriatrix smiled. "So little ones, how are you going to eat while you are inside your father's stomach?" The kicking and squirming inside me paused, and I could sense the seven little minds inside me considering Mother's question. Then, in a burst of energetic squirming, they seemed to come to a collective decision.
A series of kicks and squirms erupted from inside my stomach, each one conveying a sense of excitement and reassurance. It was as if they were trying to communicate that they would be fine, that they could absorb the necessary nutrients from my stomach.
Thyriatrix smiled, her eyes shining with understanding. "I see," she said, her voice gentle. "You'll take care of yourselves, then?" The kicking and squirming continued, a lively response that seemed to say, "Don't worry, Mother! We've got this!"
I sighed, "Since my job is to hunt food for them, do I have to eat and then regurgitate the food to feed it to them?"
Thyriatrix nodded. "Yes, dear. That's exactly what you'll need to do. As their father, it's your job to provide for them, and right now, that means eating and regurgitating food for them to eat."
I let out a deep sigh, feeling a mix of relief and resignation. "I suppose it's time for me to go hunt for some food, then," I said, looking at Thyriatrix.
She nodded, her expression supportive. "Yes, dear. Go bring back something nutritious for our little ones. They're counting on you." The kicking and squirming inside me seemed to intensify at her words, as if the little ones were eagerly anticipating their next meal.
I smiled wryly, feeling a sense of pride and responsibility. "I'll be back soon, then," I said, spreading my wings and taking to the sky. Time to go hunting.
I thought to myself,'I have to chew the food and let them eat it while they are inside my stomach?'
I winced at the thought, feeling a slight wave of discomfort. It was a peculiar process, to say the least - hunting, eating, and then regurgitating food for my young ones to consume while they were still inside my stomach. But, I reminded myself, it was a natural part of being a dragon parent. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the task ahead. It was time to provide for my little ones.
I see a behemoth, and I can take it down with 0 problems
My eyes locked onto the massive behemoth, and I could feel my hunger and instincts taking over. I spread my wings, feeling the familiar surge of power and strength as I prepared to strike.
With a swift and deadly motion, I swooped down, my jaws wide open. The behemoth, sensing its impending doom, let out a deafening roar, but I was unfazed. With precision and ease, I clamped my jaws shut around its neck, ending its struggle instantly.
I stood victorious, my dominance over this land and its creatures reaffirmed. Now, it was time to feed my young ones. I began to tear into the behemoth's flesh, my teeth and claws ripping it apart with ease.
I froze, my jaws still clamped around the behemoth's carcass, as I locked eyes with Varkorus and Kealith. My mind racing, I tried to think of a way to explain the...unusual situation I found myself in. I couldn't exactly tell them that I had seven hatchlings inside my stomach, could I? That would surely raise some eyebrows. But how could I hide it? The kicking and squirming inside me seemed to grow more intense, as if the little ones were sensing my unease.
Varkorus, his expression dimly curious, approached me, his voice slow. "Aetherius, what's...going on?"
Kealith, on the other hand, eyed me with a keen intelligence, his voice tinged with amusement. "Indeed, Aetherius, you're not exactly...eating, are you? You seem a bit... distracted."
I hesitated, unsure of how to respond. How could I explain this bizarre situation without revealing the truth about my hatchlings? Kealith's piercing gaze seemed to see right through me, and I knew I had to think fast.
They could see my bulge belly and thought I was fat
Varkorus chuckled, his expression teasing. "Ha! Aetherius, you're looking a bit... rounded, aren't you?" He nudged Kealith, who raised an eyebrow.
Kealith's gaze swept over my bulging belly, and he let out a low whistle. "Indeed, Aetherius. You've certainly been enjoying the hunting lately, haven't you?" He chuckled, clearly amused by my apparent weight gain.
I forced a laugh, trying to play along. "Ah, yeah... I've just been eating a bit too well, that's all." I tried to downplay the situation, hoping they wouldn't press the issue further. The kicking and squirming inside me seemed to grow more intense, as if the little ones were sensing my discomfort.
I feel them kicking and squirming more active, and it getting a bit painful
I winced, trying to maintain a neutral expression as the kicking and squirming inside me grew more intense. It was getting harder to ignore the discomfort, and I could feel my scales rippling with tension.
Varkorus and Kealith continued to chat, completely unaware of the secret I was harboring. "You're looking a bit softer than usual, Aetherius," Kealith said with a grin. "Maybe you're just getting a bit... lazy?"
Varkorus chuckled, playing along. "Yeah, or maybe you've just been eating too many berries!" They both laughed, and I forced a laugh along with them, trying to keep up the charade. But inside, I was gritting my teeth, trying to endure the increasingly intense kicking and squirming of my seven little hatchlings.
Varkorus and Kealith noticed their movement at my swollen belly
Varkorus's grin faltered, and he took a step back, his eyes fixed on my swollen belly. "Wait a minute, Aetherius... what's going on?" he asked, his voice tinged with confusion.
Kealith's eyes narrowed, his gaze intense as he stared at my belly. "I think I see... movement," he said, his voice low and cautious.
I froze, my heart sinking. I had been trying to keep my condition a secret, but it seemed that was no longer possible. The kicking and squirming inside me grew more intense, as if the little ones were sensing my distress.
I sighed. "You remember that you guys met my hatchling, right?" They nodded
I sigh. "They are now inside my stomach, and I end up swallowing them whole!"
Varkorus's eyes went wide with shock, and he took a step back, his voice barely above a whisper. "You... swallowed them? All of them?"
Kealith's expression turned thoughtful, his eyes never leaving my face. "I see," he said slowly. "And that's why your belly is... swollen." He paused, his gaze flicking to my stomach. "How many are in there, exactly?"
I smiled "look they wanted, and Thyriatrix allowed it, so I can't do anything about it!"
Varkorus shook his head, a mixture of amusement and incredulity on his face. "Only you, Aetherius. Only you would end up with a belly full of hatchlings." He chuckled, clearly entertained by the situation.
Kealith, on the other hand, looked more thoughtful. "I suppose this is a... unique solution to keeping them safe," he said, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. "But how do you plan on... feeding them?"
I look at the behemoth that I killed. "I'm chewing the meat and swallowing it to them inside my stomach!"
Varkorus's eyes widened in surprise, and he let out a low whistle. "Whoa, that's... quite a feat. I've never heard of a dragon doing that before."
Kealith nodded thoughtfully, his eyes fixed on the behemoth's carcass. "It makes sense, I suppose. You're providing for your young ones in a way that's... unconventional, but effective." He paused, his gaze flicking to my stomach. "I hope they're appreciative of your efforts."
they are kicking even more active and painful
I winced, my scales rippling with tension as the kicking and squirming inside me grew even more intense. "I think they're... enthusiastic about the meal," I gritted out, trying to maintain a neutral tone despite the discomfort.
Varkorus chuckled, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "I'll bet they are! You're a pretty dedicated father, Aetherius."
Kealith's expression turned more serious, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Aetherius, are you sure you're okay? That looks... painful."
I nodded and took a bite off the behemoth
I chewed slowly, savoring the taste of the behemoth's flesh, and then swallowed. The kicking and squirming inside me grew even more intense, and I could feel the little ones inside me stirring, sensing the arrival of food.
Varkorus watched with a mixture of fascination and horror. "I've never seen anything like this before," he said, shaking his head.
Kealith, on the other hand, seemed more interested in the logistics of the situation. "So, Aetherius, how does this work, exactly? Are you digesting the food and then... somehow passing it on to the hatchlings?"
I sigh. "Don't ask me that!" I take another bite of the behemoth
I chewed and swallowed, wincing slightly as the kicking and squirming inside me grew even more intense. Varkorus and Kealith watched me with a mixture of fascination and concern, but I just shook my head and continued eating.
Varkorus chuckled. "I think we're just going to have to accept that this is a weird day, Kealith."
Kealith nodded, his eyes never leaving my face. "Indeed. Although I have to admit, Aetherius, I'm a bit curious about how this is all going to... play out."
I took another bite of the behemoth, chewing slowly as I tried to ignore the increasingly intense kicking and squirming of my 7 hatchlings, who had somehow managed to wedge themselves inside my stomach. Varkorus and Kealith continued to watch me, their expressions a mixture of fascination, concern, and curiosity.
As I swallowed, I felt a sudden surge of movement inside me. The hatchlings were getting restless, and I could feel them pushing against my stomach walls. I winced, my scales rippling with tension.
Varkorus's eyes widened in alarm. "Aetherius, are you okay? That looks... intense."
Kealith took a step forward, his eyes fixed intently on my stomach. "I think they're getting ready to... come out," he said, his voice low and thoughtful.
I shook my head "no I think they are having fun in there!" I took another bite of the behemoth
Varkorus and Kealith exchanged a skeptical glance, clearly unsure what to make of the situation. Varkorus shook his head, chuckling. "Only you, Aetherius. Only you would have hatchlings playing around inside your stomach."
Kealith's expression was more serious. "I'm not sure if this is safe, Aetherius. What if they... damage something in there?"
I shrugged, taking another bite of the behemoth. The hatchlings continued to squirm and kick inside me, but I was getting used to the sensation. "They're fine," I said, my mouth full of food. "They're just... enthusiastic."
Kealith worried ask "are you not worried that they might get digested?"
I shook my head. "No, my son Lyriath uses a barrier on him and all his siblings so they won't get digested from my stomach acids!"
Kealith's eyes widened in surprise, and he took a step back, clearly impressed. "A barrier, you say? That's... quite a unique ability your son has."
Varkorus nodded in agreement. "Yes, and it's clear that Lyriath is taking care of his siblings. I'm sure they'll be fine in there."
I smiled, feeling a sense of pride in my son's abilities. "Yes, Lyriath is very resourceful. And with the barrier in place, I'm not worried about their safety."
Kealith's expression turned thoughtful. "I see. Well, in that case, I suppose it's a good thing they're in there. They're certainly... enthusiastic." He glanced at my stomach, where the hatchlings were still squirming and kicking.
Kealith's eyes widened in surprise, and he took a step back, clearly impressed. "A barrier, you say? That's... quite a unique ability your son has."
Varkorus nodded in agreement. "Yes, and it's clear that Lyriath is taking care of his siblings. I'm sure they'll be fine in there."
I smiled, feeling a sense of pride in my son's abilities. "Yes, Lyriath is very resourceful. And with the barrier in place, I'm not worried about their safety."
Kealith's expression turned thoughtful. "I see. Well, in that case, I suppose it's a good thing they're in there. They're certainly... enthusiastic." He glanced at my stomach, where the hatchlings were still squirming and kicking.
Kealith question "so why are they kicking and squirming?"
I answered, "It's because they are playing of kicking and squirming inside my stomach, and I don't mind at all because." I paused."i don't mind at all because I like feeling them kicking and squirming." I blushed
Kealith's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked away, trying to stifle a chuckle. Varkorus, on the other hand, burst out laughing, his deep voice echoing through the air.
"Ah, Aetherius, you're a true father, aren't you?" Varkorus said, wiping tears from his eyes. "Enjoying the kicking and squirming of your little ones, even when they're inside your stomach."
Kealith cleared his throat, trying to compose himself. "Well, I suppose it's... nice that you're so enthusiastic about your children, Aetherius."
I blushed even deeper, feeling a bit self-conscious but also happy that I could share my joy with my friends.
I look down. "For something reason, I'm concerned that they might love to be in my stomach a lot and feel safe and protected in there!"
Varkorus chuckled. "Well, I suppose it's one way to feel close to your children, Aetherius. But maybe you should be worried about setting a bad precedent. I mean, do you really want them to think that being inside your stomach is the safest place to be?"
Kealith nodded in agreement. "Yes, Aetherius, you might want to consider setting some boundaries. Otherwise, you might end up with a bunch of hatchlings who refuse to leave your stomach."
I looked down, feeling a bit concerned. I hadn't thought about that. I just knew that I loved feeling them inside me, and I knew they felt safe and protected. But maybe Varkorus and Kealith were right. Maybe I did need to set some boundaries.
Kealith question. "is it because they might try to get inside you multiple times in the future? I mean, all 6 are 4 years old, and 1 of them are lest then 1 year old!" I nodded and felt 7 hatchling, having fun
Kealith's eyes widened in understanding. "I see. Yes, that's a valid concern. I mean, if they're already comfortable inside your stomach at such a young age, who knows how often they'll want to crawl back in as they get older?"
Varkorus chuckled. "Just imagine it, Aetherius. You'll be like a dragon-sized playground, with hatchlings crawling in and out of your stomach all day long."
I laughed, feeling a bit amused by the idea. But at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a sense of joy and contentment. I loved being a father, and I loved the special bond I shared with my hatchlings. Even if it meant having them crawl inside my stomach from time to time.
I sigh. "I hope they won't keep going in and out of my stomach when they turn in the sub-adult stage. I don't think I can't handle that!"
Varkorus burst out laughing. "Ah, Aetherius, you're really worried about this, aren't you? I mean, the thought of your sub-adult hatchlings crawling in and out of your stomach like it's a dragon-sized revolving door?"
Kealith chuckled, shaking his head. "I think you'll be okay, Aetherius. I'm sure they'll outgrow this... unusual habit of theirs once they reach sub-adulthood."
I sighed, hoping Kealith was right. The thought of my hatchlings continuing to crawl in and out of my stomach as they grew older was a bit daunting. But for now, I was just going to enjoy this special bond I shared with them, no matter how unusual it might be.
I question, "What if they don't outgrown this habit?!"
Varkorus's grin faltered, and he looked at me with a hint of concern. "Well, Aetherius, I suppose that's a possibility. I mean, dragons can be creatures of habit, and if your hatchlings have grown accustomed to crawling inside your stomach..."
Kealith's expression turned thoughtful. "Actually, that's a good point. We don't really know how this... unusual behavior will affect their development as they grow older. It's possible that they might continue to exhibit this behavior even as sub-adults or adults."
I felt a shiver run down my spine as I contemplated the possibility. What if my hatchlings never outgrew this habit? What would that mean for our family, and for our relationships with other dragons?
Kealith sighed. "Me and varkorus will go now, and you can finish that behemoth in peace!" I nodded, and Kealith and varkorus flew off
I watched as Kealith and Varkorus disappeared into the distance, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. I could finally enjoy my meal in peace, without worrying about my friends' reactions to my hatchlings' unusual behavior.
I turned my attention back to the behemoth, taking another bite of its massive flesh. The hatchlings inside me continued to squirm and kick, but I was getting used to the sensation. In fact, I was starting to find it comforting.
As I ate, I felt a sense of contentment wash over me. Being a father was strange and wonderful, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
When I finish eating the behemoth, I burp and then burp
The loud burps echoed through the air, a testament to the massive meal I had just consumed. The hatchlings inside me seemed to respond to the burps, their squirming and kicking growing more intense for a moment before subsiding.
I chuckled, feeling a sense of satisfaction. It wasn't every day I got to enjoy a meal as massive as a behemoth. And with my hatchlings inside me, it felt like a special treat.
I settled in, feeling the warmth of the sun on my scales, and let out a contented sigh. It was moments like these that I cherished, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the joy of my hatchlings.
I chuckled. "Did you little ones kick and squirm feel that I just burp? And did you cause the burp by kicking and squirming?" I smiled as they gave a good and strong kicking
I laughed, feeling the hatchlings' energetic kicks and squirms inside me. "I'll take that as a yes!" I said, grinning. "You little ones are quite the lively bunch, aren't you?"
I felt another series of kicks and squirms, and I chuckled, enjoying the sensation. It was clear that my hatchlings were happy and content, and that was all that mattered.
As I sat there, basking in the warm sunshine, I felt a deep sense of connection to my hatchlings. It was a unique and special bond, one that I cherished deeply. And as I felt their kicks and squirms, I knew that I would always be there to support and care for them, no matter what.
As I sat there, surrounded by the peacefulness of nature, I felt my eyes growing heavy with contentment. The warm sunshine, the sound of birds chirping in the distance, and the gentle kicks and squirms of my hatchlings all combined to lull me into a state of relaxation.
I let out a deep sigh, feeling my muscles unwind and my mind calm. It was moments like these that I cherished, moments of pure joy and connection with my hatchlings.
As I drifted off into a light doze, I could feel the hatchlings settling down inside me, their kicks and squirms growing gentler and less frequent. I smiled to myself, knowing that they were happy and content, and that I was exactly where I was meant to be.
Pov Tharros
I look at my siblings. "Hey guys, let see how he reacted when I pushed my claws further, and I held his own claws."
Pov Aetherius
I feel 1 of them pushing their claws against my stomach and belly wall
I looked down, surprised, as I felt a set of claws gently pressing against my stomach and belly wall. I couldn't help but wonder which of my little ones was responsible for this curious probing.
"Ah, what's going on here?" I asked, my voice calm and playful, as I tried to determine who was behind the gentle clawing.
The claws pressed slightly deeper, and I felt a surge of curiosity. What were they up to?
As it pushes it claws further, I feel a pain from it as it pushes my veins and nerves
I winced, feeling a sharp pang of pain as the claws dug deeper, pressing against my veins and nerves. "Okay, that's enough," I said, my voice firm but gentle, as I tried to discourage the little one from causing me any more discomfort.
But it kept pushing it claws further
I gritted my teeth, trying to bear the increasing pain as the claws continued to press deeper, putting pressure on my internal organs. "Stop...please stop," I said, my voice strained, as I tried to reason with the little one.
I placed my claws on my belly to hold it down, and I breathed
As I held my claws against my belly, I took slow, deep breaths, trying to calm myself and ease the discomfort. The pressure from the little one's claws was still there, but I was determined to remain patient and gentle, hoping they would soon stop and retreat.
And that claws held my own claws from inside my stomach
I felt a surge of surprise and curiosity as the little one's claws, still pressed against my internal organs, grasped and held onto my own claws, which were trying to hold my belly in place. It was a strange, intimate connection, and I couldn't help but wonder what was going through the little one's mind.
I sighed. "Were you just trying to hold my claws this whole time?"
There was a pause, and then the claws relaxed, releasing their grip on my internal organs and my own claws. I felt a sense of relief wash over me, and then, to my surprise, I felt a tiny, mischievous presence stirring inside me, as if the little one was pleased with themselves for having accomplished their goal.
Suddenly, they began to tickle me from the inside
I burst out laughing, feeling the ticklish sensation spreading through my belly and chest. "Oh, you little scamp!" I exclaimed, my voice shaking with mirth. "You're going to make me laugh myself silly from the inside out!"
They kept tickling, and there was no signing they would stop
I laughed uncontrollably, my scales shaking with merriment. "Okay, okay! You win! You're the champion tickler from the inside!" I exclaimed, holding my belly in laughter. But despite my surrender, the little one showed no signs of relenting, and the tickling continued, leaving me helpless with laughter.
I rub my belly
The rubbing motion seemed to only add fuel to the tickling, and the little one inside me giggled and squirmed, their tiny hands or claws or whatever they were using to tickle me moving even faster and more mischievously. I laughed even harder, my belly shaking like a leaf.
I sigh. "I can't believe Thyriatrix can't refuse them by squeezing inside my mouth and going to my stomach!" I kept laughing
I couldn't help but laugh even harder at the thought of my mate Thyriatrix's antics, and the little one inside me seemed to sense my amusement, redoubling their tickling efforts. I was almost crying with laughter now, my belly aching from the constant shaking. "Thyriatrix, you little troublemaker, I swear, our young one takes after your older brother Valthorn!" I exclaimed, still chuckling.
I laughed so hard I could barely breathe, tears streaming down my face as the little one's tickling continued unabated. "Oh, Valthorn's mischievous streak lives on, it seems!" I exclaimed, still chuckling, as I thought of my mate's older brother and his reputation for troublemaking.
A few minutes later, they stopped tickling me
I breathed a sigh of relief as the tickling finally stopped, my belly and sides aching from the prolonged laughter. I smiled, feeling a warmth in my heart towards the little one inside me. "Thank you for the laughter, little one," I said, my voice filled with affection.
I gazed lovingly at my belly, feeling a sense of wonder and gratitude at the six 4-year-old young ones and the tiny, mischievous one-year-old who was still growing and developing inside me. It was a unique and special experience, carrying multiple young ones at different stages of development, and I felt blessed to be able to nurture and care for them all.
They are now inside my stomach as long as they want now because I can't force them to get out myself
I chuckled to myself, resigned to the fact that the little one had claimed my stomach as their temporary home. "I suppose you're the boss now, little one," I said with a smile, feeling a sense of wonder and amusement at the strange and intimate connection I shared with the tiny being inside me.
As I spoke, I felt a gentle nudge from within, as if the little one was responding to my words. I smiled, feeling a deep affection for this tiny being who had taken up residence inside me. I placed my hands on my belly, feeling the gentle movements within, and began to hum a soft, soothing melody. The vibrations from my humming seemed to calm the little one, and I felt their movements slow, as if they were drifting off to sleep. I continued to hum, feeling a sense of peace and contentment wash over me, as I stood there, cradling my enormous belly and the precious life within.
As hours passed, I was getting bored, so I got up and flew off to adventure around the forest
The wind rushed past me as I soared through the skies, my enormous belly leading the way. I felt a thrill of excitement, eager to explore the forest and see what wonders it held. The little one inside me seemed to sense my excitement, and I felt them stir and shift, as if they too were eager for adventure.
As I flew over the forest, the trees grew taller and the streams wider. The scent of ancient magic wafted through the air, drawing me closer to the Heartwood Tree.
I landed gently on a branch overlooking the Heartwood Tree, its massive trunk glowing with a soft, ethereal light. The little one inside me seemed to sense the sacred energy emanating from the tree, and they grew quiet, as if in reverence.
I sat in silence, taking in the beauty and wonder of the Heartwood Tree. The forest was alive with magic, and I felt grateful to be a part of it.
They began to kick and squirm
I winced slightly as the little one inside me began to kick and squirm, their movements strong and insistent. It seemed they'd had enough of the peaceful atmosphere and were ready for more excitement. I chuckled, feeling a surge of affection for my rambunctious offspring. "Alright, alright! I think it's time for us to find some more adventure, don't you?" I said, smiling to myself as I took to the skies once more.
As I flew over the treetops, the wind rushing past me, the little one inside me continued to kick and squirm, as if urging me on. I laughed, feeling a thrill of excitement, and banked sharply to the left, swooping down towards a sparkling waterfall in the distance.
The roar of the falls grew louder, and the little one inside me seemed to sense the approaching excitement, their movements becoming even more energetic. I felt a rush of joy, knowing that I was sharing this experience with my offspring, and that they were reveling in the thrill of the adventure as much as I was.
As we approached the waterfall, I spread my wings, feeling the rush of the water beneath me. The little one inside me let out a tiny roar of delight, and I laughed, feeling the spray of the water on my scales. Together, we danced in the mist of the waterfall, our laughter and joy mingling with the roar of the falls.
As we danced in the mist, I felt the little one's movements becoming more synchronized with mine, as if we were performing a perfectly choreographed dance. The waterfall's roar grew louder, and the spray created a misty veil around us, hiding us from the rest of the world.
In that magical moment, it was just us – me and my little one, lost in the thrill of adventure and the beauty of nature. I felt a deep connection to my offspring, knowing that we were sharing this experience, and that it would be etched in our memories forever.
As we continued to dance, the little one's tiny roars of delight grew louder, and I laughed, feeling my heart overflow with joy and love. And in that instant, I knew that this was what it meant to be a parent – to share in the wonder and magic of life, and to create unforgettable memories with the ones you love.
I sigh "let held back, and when we arrive home, you 7 are coming off my stomach!"
I let out a hearty chuckle as the little one inside me protested our return home. "Don't worry, little one," I said with a smile, "you'll have plenty of adventures ahead of you. But for now, it's time to head back home and get you and your siblings settled in." As I spoke, I began to make my way back through the forest, the little one inside me still squirming and kicking in protest.
I couldn't help but think of my mate, Thyriatrix, and how she had convinced me to let our six hatchlings take refuge in my stomach. Those big, round eyes of theirs had been impossible to resist, and now I was paying the price - literally. But I wouldn't trade this experience for anything, and I knew that Thyriatrix and I would have a good laugh about it later.
As I flew, the little one's tiny roars grew louder, and I could sense their excitement and energy building, eager to emerge and take on the world. I smiled, feeling a sense of pride and anticipation for the moment when I would finally be able to see my seven little ones face to face.
As I arrived at the mountain cave, I got inside and saw Thyriatrix waiting for me and she smiled and said "got back from a very long hunt and it seem you been spending time in the forest without me knowing!"
I chuckled, feeling a bit sheepish as I settled into the cave beside Thyriatrix. "Ah, well, I might have taken a little detour on the way back," I admitted, trying to play it cool. "I just needed to, uh, stretch my wings a bit."
Thyriatrix raised an eyebrow, her smile growing wider. "Stretch your wings, huh?" she repeated, her voice dripping with amusement. "And what about the seven little stowaways you've got hiding in your stomach?"
I laughed, feeling caught. "Ah, well, I guess I couldn't resist those puppy dog eyes of theirs," I confessed, scratching behind my ear. "But I promise, it was just a temporary arrangement. I'm ready to hand them back over to you now."
Thyriatrix let out a playful laugh, her eyes sparkling with mirth. "So, you've had quite the adventure, I see," she said, her voice teasing. "I'm glad you're back safe and sound, with all seven of our little ones still snug inside you."
I grinned, feeling a bit relieved that she wasn't scolding me. "Guilty as charged," I admitted, trying to play it cool. "I let them sneak in for a little adventure, just like you allowed them to."
Thyriatrix chuckled, shaking her head. "You're such a softie, Aetherius," she said, smiling. "But I'm glad you're excited to finally see our hatchlings face to face again. Shall we get them out of there and settled in now?"
I sighed "what make them go to my small intestine and lead them to my large intestine? Just like Tharros when he got stuck inside my stomach just like today, and now he is also inside my stomach again?!" She nodded
Thyriatrix nodded, a hint of amusement still dancing in her eyes. "I think our little ones just wanted to have a bit of fun inside their father's stomach," she said with a smile. "They love playing games and going on adventures, and your stomach is just another playground for them." She chuckled, shaking her head. "And Tharros, well... he's just a bit of a thrill-seeker, always looking for the next exciting thing to do. Even if that means getting stuck in tight spaces!" She laughed, her eyes sparkling with mirth. "But don't worry, I'll help you get them all out safely. Again."
Thyriatrix sighed. "Just lay down on your side while they move to your small intestine!" And the hatchlings that are inside my stomach started to kicking very strong."Are they don't want out of your stomach?" She asked me, and I nodded
Thyriatrix chuckled and shook her head. "I think they're just having too much fun in there," she said with a smile. "They're not ready to leave their playground just yet." She laughed, watching as the hatchlings continued to kick and squirm inside my stomach. "I think we'll just have to wait a bit longer for them to decide to come out and play."
I grunted "alright you can stay there as long as you want. Just please stop!" I placed my claws on my belly
Thyriatrix burst out laughing at the sight of me, her eyes shining with mirth. "Oh, poor Aetherius!" she exclaimed, holding her sides. "I think the little ones have worn you out!" She gently took my claws and moved them away from my belly, replacing them with her own soothing touch. "Don't worry, my love," she whispered. "They'll settle down soon. Just relax and let me take care of them for now."
I lay down on my side
Thyriatrix smiled and nodded, her eyes still sparkling with amusement. "Good, just rest for a bit," she said, gently stroking my scales. "I'll keep an eye on the little ones and make sure they don't get into any more mischief." She settled in beside me, the seven hatchlings snuggled up against her, and began to softly hum a gentle melody that seemed to match the rhythm of my heartbeat.
Pov Thyriatrix
I smiled as I watched Aetherius lay down on his side, looking relieved to finally be able to rest. I gently stroked his scales, feeling a sense of affection and gratitude towards him. He was such a wonderful mate, always putting the needs of our little ones first.
I looked at Aetherius's swollen stomach, knowing that our seven little hatchlings were safely inside, still active and kicking. I chuckled to myself, thinking about how they had just started their fun adventure in their father's stomach today. They were just so full of energy and curiosity, and they loved playing and exploring new spaces.
As I hummed, I could feel Aetherius's tension easing, his breathing slowing as he relaxed. I continued to stroke his scales, feeling a sense of peace wash over us all. It was moments like these that I cherished, surrounded by my loving mate and our precious little ones, who were currently having the time of their lives playing inside their father's stomach.
Pov Aetherius
I let out a contented sigh as I lay on my side, feeling Thyriatrix's gentle strokes on my scales. It was nice to finally relax after the excitement of the day. I could still feel our seven little hatchlings moving around inside my stomach, their tiny kicks and squirms a reminder of their energetic and playful nature.
I smiled to myself, thinking about how much fun they were having in there. They were just so full of life and curiosity, and they loved exploring new spaces. I was happy to provide them with a unique playground, even if it was a bit unconventional.
As Thyriatrix continued to hum and stroke my scales, I felt my eyes growing heavy, my breathing slowing. It was moments like these that I cherished, surrounded by my loving mate and our precious little ones, who were currently having the time of their lives playing inside my stomach.
I yawned
Thyriatrix smiled and leaned in to gently nuzzle my scales. "Sleepy, my love?" she whispered, her voice soft and soothing. I nodded, feeling my eyelids growing heavier. The sound of her humming and the gentle strokes of her scales on mine were lulling me into a peaceful slumber. The hatchlings' gentle movements inside my stomach seemed to be slowing down as well, as if they too were settling in for a rest.
I closed my eyes and slept
Pov Thyriatrix
I watched as Aetherius's eyes drifted shut, a soft smile on his face. I continued to hum and stroke his scales, feeling a sense of peace and contentment wash over us.
As I looked at Aetherius's sleeping form, I couldn't help but feel grateful for this moment. Our little family was safe and happy, and our seven hatchlings were having the adventure of a lifetime inside their father's stomach.
I gently settled in beside Aetherius, keeping a watchful eye on him as he slept. The hatchlings' gentle movements inside his stomach were soothing, and I found myself drifting off into a light doze, surrounded by the peaceful sounds of my loving mate and our precious little ones.
I wispper, "You little ones love being in there, huh?" I chuckled,"just like my older brother Valthorn when he often gets inside Father stomach for fun"
I smiled, my eyes still closed, as I remembered Valthorn's antics. "Yes, it seems like a family tradition," I whispered back, my voice barely audible. "Our little ones are definitely following in their uncle's footsteps." I chuckled softly, imagining Valthorn's mischievous grin as he used to play hide-and-seek inside our father's stomach.
Father wasn't happy when he kept doing this everytime
I giggled, remembering the look on our father's face whenever Valthorn would emerge from his stomach, grinning from ear to ear. "Oh, Father was not amused, to say the least," I whispered, my voice filled with amusement. "But Valthorn just thought it was the best game ever." I smiled, feeling a sense of nostalgia wash over me.
I gently rub Aetherius enormous belly and feel them inside his stomach
Aetherius stirred slightly in his sleep, a gentle smile on his face as he felt my hands on his belly. I could feel the seven little hatchlings moving around inside, their tiny scales and wings fluttering as they played and squirmed. I chuckled softly, imagining their little faces and antics as they explored their father's stomach. My rubbing seemed to be soothing them, and they slowly started to settle down, their movements becoming more relaxed and gentle.
I felt 1 nuzzled my claws
I smiled, feeling a sense of delight and connection with our little one. "Ah, someone's saying hello," I whispered, gently stroking the hatchling's tiny snout with my claw. The little one nuzzled my claw again, and I could sense its curiosity and playfulness. I continued to rub Aetherius's belly, feeling the hatchling's tiny movements as it snuggled up against my claw, enjoying the attention.
As I continued to rub Aetherius's belly, the little one began to move closer to my claw, its tiny wings fluttering excitedly. I could feel its little heart beating fast, and I sensed its eagerness to play. I gently obliged, wiggling my claw back and forth, and the hatchling chased after it, nipping at it with its tiny jaws. I chuckled softly, enchanted by the little one's antics, and Aetherius stirred in his sleep, a gentle smile on his face, as if he too could sense the joy and playfulness emanating from our little one.
I thought to myself,'I hope they will decide to get out of his stomach tomorrow morning.' I look at his enormous belly and see they seem to have fun and love being in there
I smiled, watching as the hatchlings continued to play and squirm inside Aetherius's stomach. They seemed to be having the time of their lives, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder and delight at their antics. "I think they're enjoying their little adventure," I whispered to myself, chuckling softly. I looked at Aetherius's peaceful face, and my heart swelled with love and gratitude for our little family. Tomorrow morning would come soon enough, and I was curious to see if the hatchlings would be ready to emerge from their cozy playground inside their father's stomach.
I laughed softly to myself, shaking my head. "Probably not," I agreed, smiling at the thought of our mischievous little ones. They seemed to be having far too much fun inside Aetherius's stomach, and I had a feeling they would want to stay and play for as long as possible. I settled in beside Aetherius, watching over him and our little ones as they continued to sleep and play, feeling grateful for this special moment with my family.
I yawn and went to sleep
