I slowly opened my eyes, feeling a sense of calm and contentment wash over me. Thyriatrix was still asleep beside me, a peaceful smile on his face. I gently shifted my position, feeling the seven little hatchlings stir inside my stomach. They seemed to be sleeping, too, their tiny movements slow and relaxed. I smiled, feeling grateful for this moment of tranquility with my loved ones.
As I lay there, I couldn't help but think about how much my life had changed since Thyriatrix and I had met. We had built a life together, and now we had seven precious little ones - six rambunctious four-year-olds and one mischievous little one under a year old - who loved to squeeze into my stomach through my mouth, just to have fun inside.
I felt a surge of love and protectiveness towards them, and towards Thyriatrix, who had brought so much joy and happiness into my life. But, if I was being completely honest, I was also ready for them to make their exit. I gently wrapped my claws around Thyriatrix, holding him close, and let out a soft, contented sigh.
The hatchlings stirred inside me, their tiny movements a reminder that they were getting stronger by the day. The four-year-olds were likely playing some game, chasing each other around my stomach, while the little one was probably giggling and squealing with delight. I smiled, feeling grateful for this unique and special experience, but also a little eager for them to emerge and start their new adventure outside my stomach. Only time would tell when they would decide to make their grand entrance.
I gazed down at my enormous belly, marveling at its sheer size. Lying on my back, it jutted up like a massive dome, a staggering 14-16 meters tall. And when I measured around it, the circumference was just as impressive, a whopping 9-10 meters. It was a wonder I could still move around comfortably with this enormous belly, but I had grown accustomed to its weight and bulk. After all, it was a small price to pay for carrying our seven precious little ones inside me.
I get up, and that cause Thyriatrix to wake up
As I slowly rose to my feet, my enormous belly swayed gently, and the hatchlings inside stirred, their tiny movements causing my stomach to shift and ripple. The disturbance woke Thyriatrix, who stretched and yawned, his eyes fluttering open. He smiled sleepily at me, and I couldn't help but smile back, feeling a warmth in my heart. "Good morning," I rumbled, my deep voice gentle.
Thyriatrix giggled. "So, are they now decided to play in there?"
I sighed."I don't know! They have been." I paused because 1 of them gave a superpower kick that I roar out in pain and nearly fall over
I clutched my belly, wincing in pain as the hatchling's powerful kick reverberated through my stomach. "Ahh...!" I roared, stumbling forward and nearly losing my balance. Thyriatrix rushed to my side, concern etched on her face. "Aetherius, are you okay?!" she exclaimed, helping me steady myself. I took a deep breath, trying to calm down, and glared playfully at my belly. "I think someone in there is getting a bit too strong..."
Thyriatrix chuckled and gently rubbed my belly, trying to soothe the rambunctious hatchling inside. "Well, I suppose that's a good sign, right? They're growing strong and healthy." She smiled up at me, her light green scales glistening in the soft light.
I nodded, still wincing slightly from the kick, but unable to help smiling at Thyriatrix's reassuring words. "Yes, I suppose you're right. But maybe they could tone it down a notch?" I laughed, glancing down at my belly, where the hatchlings were still stirring and causing gentle ripples beneath my scales.
Thyriatrix's expression turned playful, and she leaned in to whisper, "I think they're just trying to get your attention, dear." She winked at me, and I couldn't help but chuckle at her teasing.

I winced, feeling a mix of guilt and embarrassment. I hadn't meant to kick that hard! I knew Father's belly was a comfortable and cozy space for us, but I got a bit carried away. I hoped Father wasn't too upset with me.
Pov Aetherius
I chuckled, still rubbing the sore spot. "I think I scared one of them mostly Tharros, since he is the most scary-cat!" I teased, trying to lighten the mood. I glanced down at my belly, where the hatchlings were now stirring more gently. "It's okay, little ones. Father's just a bit...tender...right now." I smiled, trying to reassure them.
As I breathed deeply, I felt my lungs expand and my chest rise, trying to calm the stirrings within my belly. The hatchlings, sensing my attempt to relax, seemed to settle down as well, their movements slowing to a gentle flutter. The tension in my body eased, and I let out a slow, soothing sigh, feeling the air escape my lips. Thyriatrix, still rubbing my belly, smiled softly at me, her eyes shining with warmth and understanding.
Thyriatrix question to them, "Alright, little ones," Thyriatrix cooed, her voice gentle and soothing. "What's going on in there? Are you getting restless? Do you want to come out and play?" She paused, listening for any response from the hatchlings, her light green scales glinting with amusement.
I grunted, still sore from that strong kick from the inside of my stomach. "I hope they are done from their so-called 'playground'!"
Thyriatrix chuckled and playfully rolled her eyes. "Oh, Aetherius, you're such a softie. They're just having a little fun in there." She leaned in, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Besides, I think our seven little troublemakers are just trying to show their younger sibling the ropes of playing inside Daddy's tummy. They're quite the adventurous bunch, aren't they?"
I raised an eyebrow, correcting her. "Actually, I think it's the other way around. The little one seems to be the ringleader, and the older ones are just following their younger sibling's lead." I smiled wryly, remembering the particularly strong kick I'd received earlier. "And they're certainly enthusiastic about their playground in there."
I sigh. "How long will they leave their playground? it be a 1 day!"
Thyriatrix laughed and shook her head. "Oh, Aetherius, you're so eager to have your stomach back to yourself, aren't you?" She smiled teasingly. "I'm not sure, but I think they'll come out when they're good and ready. Besides, it's not every day they get to play inside Daddy's tummy. Let them enjoy it while it lasts." She chuckled and wrapped her claws around me, giving me a gentle squeeze. "You can survive one more day of being a playground, can't you?"
I think for a moment 'kinda and I'm not sure it is not every day you mean many times of the day!' I nodded slowly
Thyriatrix burst out laughing, her light green scales shimmering with amusement. "Oh, Aetherius, you're absolutely right! I guess I should say it's not every hour they get to play inside Daddy's tummy!" She chuckled, wiping tears from her eyes. "You're such a good sport about this, dear. I'm sure the little ones appreciate their playground, even if it is a bit...unconventional."
Thyriatrix smiled and questions "Wait, will your older brother Kaidën be seeing the little ones again?"
I thought for a moment, 'Kaidën...I hope he's prepared for the chaos that is our little family.' Then, I replied, "Actually, I was thinking of inviting him over soon. The little ones love playing with their uncle, and it's always nice to have him around." I smiled, thinking about how much fun Kaidën had with the hatchlings. "But, I should warn him about the new playground they've discovered...inside my stomach."
Thyriatrix chuckled, her light green scales shimmering with amusement. "Yes, please do warn him. I'm sure he'd love to know that he'll be entertaining a group of rambunctious hatchlings who think Daddy's stomach is a playground."
I nodded, smiling wryly. "I'll make sure to send him a warning...or a survival guide, whichever is more applicable." I laughed, thinking about how Kaidën would react to the news.
Just then, the hatchlings inside my stomach began to stir again, their movements causing gentle ripples beneath my scales. I winced, anticipating another strong kick. Thyriatrix noticed my expression and giggled.
Thyriatrix smiled. "I think you should lay down while you warn your older brother Kaidën!"
I nodded, deciding that was a wise idea. "Yes, maybe that's for the best. I don't want to risk any more...enthusiastic kicks." I smiled wryly, making my way over to a comfortable-looking spot.
As I lay down, Thyriatrix settled in beside me, her light green scales glistening in the soft light. I closed my eyes, focusing my thoughts on Kaidën. I reached out to him through our mental bond, forming a clear image of my thoughts in my mind.
"Kaidën, I need to warn you...the little ones....are inside my....stomach!" Kaidorix immediately thinks I have eaten them
Kaidën's mental voice was laced with panic. "Aetherius, what do you mean they're inside your stomach?! Did you...eat them?!" His thoughts were racing with alarm, and I could sense his concern for the little ones.
I quickly reassured him, trying to alleviate his fears. "No, no, Kaidën! Nothing like that, just let me explain!"
But Kaidën doesn't want to hear it. "They are your hatchling, for goodness sake! Aetherius!"
Kaidën's mental voice was still laced with panic and a hint of accusation. "They're your hatchlings, for goodness' sake! Aetherius, how could you...?!" He trailed off, his thoughts still reeling with the idea that I might have harmed the little ones.
I sighed, trying to remain patient. "Kaidën, listen to me! I didn't harm them, I swear. They're just...being their usual rambunctious selves. Please, just calm down and let me explain..."
Kaidën did not listen
Kaidën's mental voice abruptly cut off, and I sensed a surge of determination from him. I realized he was already on his way to our location, his concerns for the little ones driving him to act without hearing me out. "Kaidën, wait!" I called out mentally, but he was no longer responding.
I open my eyes and feel defeated. I look at my belly and see Thyriatrix still by my side, trying to settle the little ones down that are kicking and squirming inside my stomach
Thyriatrix gazed up at me with a sympathetic expression, her light green scales dimmed slightly by concern. She seemed to sense my frustration and helplessness. "Aetherius, don't worry," she said softly, her voice a gentle rumble. "Kaidën will understand once he sees that the little ones are safe and sound."
She paused, her gaze drifting back to my stomach as she focused on calming the hatchlings. After a few moments, she continued, "Besides, I think they're getting a bit tired. They should settle down soon."
Pov Kaidën
I can't stop thinking,'Why did he eat his own hatchling? Is he insane? I should go there and check on to why he ate them'
Pov Aetherius
I sigh. "I was about to warn him about them inside my stomach playing as if it is their playground!"
I let out a deep sigh, feeling a mix of frustration and amusement. "Thyriatrix, it seems Kaidën has jumped to conclusions. I was trying to warn him about the little ones' new game, but he didn't give me a chance to explain." I shook my head, chuckling wryly. "Now he's probably thinking I've lost my mind...or my appetite."
I let out a deep sigh, feeling a mix of frustration and amusement. "Thyriatrix, it seems Kaidën has jumped to conclusions. I was trying to warn him about the little ones' new game, but he didn't give me a chance to explain."
I shook my head, chuckling wryly. "Now he's probably thinking I've lost my mind...or my appetite."
Thyriatrix looked up at me with a concerned expression, her light green scales glistening in the soft light. "Do you think Kaidën will calm down once he sees the little ones are safe?" she asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty.
I yelled out, "I DON'T KNOW HE SEEM VERY FREAK OUT!" All 7 hatchling inside me kick and squirm more violently that my belly quivering violently
Thyriatrix's eyes widened in alarm as my belly began to quiver violently. "Aetherius, maybe you should try to calm down," she suggested, her voice laced with concern. "The hatchlings are feeding off your emotions, and if you're stressed, they'll only get more agitated."
Just then, Kaidën burst into the clearing, his eyes fixed intently on my stomach. "Aetherius, what's going on?" he demanded, his voice low and urgent. "I could sense the distress of our children - Tharros, Lyriath, Vyraxys, Nyxoria, Lyrixa, Kaidorix, and little Kieraxys. Are they...are they okay? Why are they inside your stomach?"
I try to calm him down
I took a deep breath and tried to reassure Kaidën, "Kaidën, calm down. The children are fine. They're just...being a bit rambunctious, that's all. They've discovered a new game, and they're playing inside my stomach."
I attempted to smile, hoping to ease Kaidën's concerns. "Tharros, Lyriath, Vyraxys, Nyxoria, Lyrixa, Kaidorix, and little Kieraxys are all safe. They're just having a bit of fun. No need to worry."
I smiled. "They were going inside my stomach by choice, by the way, and they are perfectly fine. They are just playing. Don't just think again that I ate them because that is not true!"
Kaidën's expression slowly changed from alarm to confusion, and finally, to relief. He took a deep breath, letting his scales relax as he realized the truth. "Ah, by the ancient dragons...I'm so sorry, Aetherius. I jumped to conclusions, didn't I?" He shook his head, a hint of a smile on his face. "I should have known better." He sighed
Kaidën's gaze drifted to my stomach, where the hatchlings were still playing and squirming about. A soft chuckle escaped his lips.
I sighed, "I suppose we should be grateful they're taking after their Thyriatrix older brother Valthorn mischief." I smiled wryly, shaking my head. "Tharros has been in my stomach before yesterday morning, but I didn't think the others would follow suit so soon. And definitely not all at once!" Kaidën was shocked on what i just said
He laughed, clearly amused by the situation.
Kaidën's expression changed from amusement to surprise, his eyes widening in shock. "Yesterday morning?!" he repeated, his voice laced with incredulity. "Tharros was in your stomach yesterday morning, and now all of them are in there?!" He let out a low whistle, shaking his head in wonder. "I think we're in for a wild ride with this bunch, Aetherius."
I sighed. "Tharros did come out, but only a few minutes later, he went back in along with his siblings!"
Kaidën's eyes grew even wider, and he let out a hearty laugh. "Oh, by the ancient dragons! Tharros is definitely going to keep us on our toes, isn't he?" He chuckled, shaking his head. "And now, all of them are in there...I can only imagine what kind of mischief they're getting up to inside your stomach!"
I look at my enormous belly "well they kick and squirm and play in there right now!"
Kaidën's laughter grew louder, and he doubled over, holding his sides. "This is...this is insane!" he exclaimed, tears streaming down his face. "My little nephew and nieces are having the time of their lives in there, aren't they?" He wiped his tears, still chuckling, and gazed at my enormous belly with a mixture of amazement and amusement.
Kaidën question "So how did Tharros get out?"
I answered and blush "well Thyriatrix said that his older brother Valthorn did the same thing he often got inside his father's stomach, and Thyriatrix explained to me that" I paused
I look down "that he have to push them out from his large intestine, and I have experienced once from Tharros!"
Kaidën's eyes widened in surprise, and he burst out laughing again. "Oh, by the ancient dragons! I had forgotten about Valthorn's antics!" He chuckled, shaking his head. "And I see that Tharros is following in his uncle's footsteps, literally!" He grinned, amused by the situation.
Kaidën's expression turned serious for a moment, and he asked, "So, you had to...push Tharros out, then?" He raised an eyebrow, curiosity getting the better of him.
I sigh. "You guess the rest now that all 7 of them are inside it will hurt. Like hell!"
Kaidën's grin faltered, and he winced in sympathy. "Ah, by the dragons...I can only imagine. Seven little ones trying to exit at once...it's going to be a memorable experience, to say the least." He shook his head, his expression a mix of amusement and concern. "Well, I'm here for you, brother. Thyriatrix and I will make sure you're...ah, comfortable, during the process."
I look at Kaidën "just know they have to go to my small intestine and to go to my large intestine, and now they just stay inside my stomach!"
Kaidën question "So you said they been inside your stomach only 1 day?" I nodded."And how do they eat?" He asks
I answered, "Well, I eat, and the chew up food fall into my stomach, and they do whatever it take to eaten, and I don't the rest!"
Kaidën's eyes widened in astonishment. "So, they're essentially...feeding on the food in your stomach?" He asked, trying to wrap his head around the concept. "And they've been doing this for a day now?" He shook his head, chuckling. "I've never heard of anything like this before. My little nephew and nieces are certainly...resourceful, aren't they?"
I nodded "Yes and as in right now, they seem kicking and squirming by having fun!"
Kaidën laughed, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "I can imagine! It's like they're having the time of their lives in there!"
He gently placed a hand on my enormous belly, feeling the movements of the little ones. "I can feel them kicking and squirming around. They're definitely having a party in there!"
Thyriatrix question "Do you want to feel it?"
Kaidën's eyes lit up with excitement. "Really? I can feel them too?" He asked, his voice filled with curiosity. He looked at me for permission, his hands hovering over my belly in anticipation.
I nodded, smiling. "Of course, go ahead."
Kaidën's face lit up with a wide grin as he gently placed his hands on my belly. He closed his eyes, focusing on the sensations beneath his fingertips.
At first, there was nothing but a gentle fluttering. But then, the movements became more pronounced, and Kaidën's eyes snapped open in wonder.
"Whoa, they're really kicking and squirming around in there!" He exclaimed, laughing. "I can feel them rolling and tumbling, it's incredible!"
Thyriatrix chuckled, smiling at Kaidën's reaction. "I told you, they're quite the handful."
Kaidën continued to feel the movements of the little ones, his face alight with joy and amazement. "This is truly a remarkable experience," he said, his voice filled with awe. "I've never felt anything like it before."
As Kaidën continued to marvel at the sensations beneath his fingertips, I couldn't help but smile at the sight. It was clear that he was thoroughly enjoying the experience, and it warmed my heart to see him so happy.
I sighed. "I just mostly want them to get out of my stomach!" Kaidën patted my head
Kaidën's expression turned sympathetic, and he patted my head gently. "Don't worry, little brother," he said, his voice soothing. "They'll come out when they're ready. Just hang in there a bit longer."
Thyriatrix chuckled and added, "And try not to think about the, ah, 'exit strategy' they'll be using. It's not exactly the most... dignified process, is it?"
Kaidën laughed and playfully ruffled my hair. "Come on, Aetherius, you're a tough dragon. You can handle a few little ones rummaging around in your stomach."
I question, "What they can stay there as long as they like?"
Kaidën's grin faltered for a moment, and he exchanged a look with Thyriatrix. "Well, technically, yes... they can stay there for a while longer," Kaidën said, choosing his words carefully.
Thyriatrix added, "However, we should probably start making preparations for their exit. They've had their fun inside your stomach for a day now, and we don't want them to get too comfortable in there."
Kaidën nodded in agreement. "Yes, we'll need to get everything ready. Seven little ones emerging from your stomach at once is going to be... an experience, to say the least."
Kaidën claws is still on my belly, and another kick hit beneath his claws
Kaidën's eyes widened in surprise, and he let out a low rumble of laughter. "Whoa, I felt that one! They're certainly feisty, aren't they?"
He gently pressed his claws against my scales, feeling the movements of the little ones beneath.
"I think they're going to keep you on your toes, brother... or should I say, on your claws?"
They began to kick "ow,ow,ow,ow." The kicking is getting more intense
Kaidën's eyes widened in concern as he quickly removed his claws from my scales. "Whoa, easy there, little ones! I think you're getting a bit too rough on your host."
Thyriatrix stepped forward, a hint of amusement on her face. "I think it's time we helped them find a way out, don't you, Kaidën?"
Kaidën nodded in agreement. "Yes, before they kick their way out of Aetherius's stomach!"
I shook my head "look the way to get them out is that they have to go into my small intestine, and by the way, they don't want to go there yet!"
Kaidën them from the inside "Hey do you want to get out now?! Just a kick if you don't want to get out." and they do a frenzy kick
Kaidën stumbled backward, laughing, as he felt the intense kicking from the inside. "Alright, alright! I get it! They're not ready to leave the party yet!"
Thyriatrix chuckled, shaking her head. "I think we're going to have to wait a bit longer for them to decide to exit."
I rubbed my belly, wincing at the continued kicking. "I'm starting to think they're going to wear themselves out in there..."
They kept kicking
I winced in sympathy. "Ow, ow, ow... alright, stop!" They kept kicking more active
Thyriatrix laughed. "I think they're enjoying the game of 'keep Aetherius on his toes'."
I groaned, holding my belly. "This is getting ridiculous. Can't they just calm down for one minute?"
Kaidën burst out laughing. "I think they're competing in the 'Dragon Belly Olympics'! Gold medal for most kicks in a minute!"
Thyriatrix chuckled, her eyes shining with amusement. "And it looks like they're going for a world record!"
I glared at them, wincing as the kicking continued. "You two are not helping. This is torture!"
I look at Kaidën "and what do you mean by 'dragon belly Olympic'? I you joking me?"
Kaidën grinned mischievously. "Not entirely, brother. I mean, think about it. They're competing in events like 'Most Creative Use of Claw Space', 'Longest Distance Traveled in a Circular Motion', and of course, 'Most Kicks in a Minute'."
He chuckled, clearly amused by his own joke. "I'm pretty sure they're going for a sweep of all the events."
Thyriatrix playfully rolled her eyes. "Kaidën, you're not helping."
I question, "You make that whole thing up, didn't you?" Kaidën smiled
Kaidën's smile grew wider, and he nodded sheepishly. "Maybe just a little. Okay, fine... I made it all up. But it's a good idea, don't you think?"
Thyriatrix chuckled and shook her head. "You're impossible, Kaidën."
The kick is getting even stronger by the second
I gritted my teeth, wincing in discomfort. "This is getting serious. They're really going to town in there."
Kaidën's expression turned concerned. "Maybe we should try to calm them down? This can't be good for you."
Thyriatrix nodded in agreement. "Yes, let's try to soothe them. We don't want them to cause any harm."
I sigh. "Don't worry, I got this." I left and flew off, ignoring the best I could by their painful kick
Kaidën and Thyriatrix watched as I flew away, a mixture of concern and amusement on their faces.
Kaidën shook his head, chuckling. "Well, I guess that's one way to deal with a belly full of rambunctious dragonlings."
Thyriatrix smiled, her eyes sparkling with mirth. "I think Aetherius has a few tricks up his sleeve. Let's just hope he doesn't crash into anything."
I look down and see a river
I gazed down at the sparkling river below, a sudden idea forming in my mind. A sly grin spread across my face as I began to descend, the cool air rushing past me. With a gentle splash, I landed in the river, the cool water enveloping my belly and soothing the kicking dragonlings within.
I bent down, taking a refreshing drink from the river's edge. The cool water slid down my throat, and I felt invigorated. The sudden calm within my belly was a welcome relief, and I let out a sigh of satisfaction.
But that causes them to kick more active, and I thought to myself,'I can't believe I have to deal with 6 4 years old hatchling, and Kieraxys, who is the youngest, is lest then 1 year old are now in my stomach' their kicking getting more intense and I fell to the ground by the pain
I groaned, clutching my belly as the kicking intensified. "Seriously?! Can't you guys just calm down for one second?!" I thought to myself, exasperated.
The memory of how I ended up with six rambunctious hatchlings and a tiny, mischievous one like Kieraxys inside me was still fresh in my mind. And now, they were wreaking havoc on my stomach.
The pain became unbearable, and I collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony. "Make... it... stop..." I gritted my teeth, pleading with my tiny tormentors to cease their kicking spree.
I feel like they will burst, and I am terrified that might happen because I will die from it
Panic set in as I imagined the worst-case scenario. "No, no, no... please don't burst... I won't survive that..." I thought, my mind racing with fear.
The thought of those tiny, energetic bodies inside me, straining against my stomach walls, was terrifying. If they were to burst free, the damage would be catastrophic. I would surely perish from the internal injuries.
My breath came in short gasps as I struggled to cope with the overwhelming fear. I was trapped in this living nightmare, with no escape from the tiny, kicking terrors inside me.
I looked around, and there was no to help me
Desperation crept in as I scanned my surroundings, searching for anyone, anything that could assist me. But I was alone. The river flowed calmly beside me, its tranquility a cruel contrast to the chaos within my belly.
I let out a hoarse cry, my voice echoing through the empty landscape. "Help! Someone, please... help me!" But only the wind replied, whispering through the trees as the dragonlings continued their relentless kicking.
I grunted in so much pain. "Ow! It hurt so much.... please stop!" I stared to cry
Tears streamed down my face as I sobbed, overcome by the agony. "Please... just stop... it hurts too much..." I begged, my voice cracking with desperation.
My body shook with sobs, and I curled up into a ball, trying to protect myself from the intense pain. The dragonlings' kicking seemed to grow stronger, more relentless, and I felt like I was being torn apart from the inside out.
I wept uncontrollably, my cries echoing through the desolate landscape, with no one to hear my pleas for mercy.
I took a deep, ragged breath, trying to calm myself down. The sobs still shook my body, but I forced myself to inhale slowly, hoping to find some semblance of peace amidst the turmoil.
As I exhaled, I felt a tiny, fleeting moment of respite from the pain. It was enough to give me a glimmer of hope. Maybe, just maybe, I could endure this agony a little while longer.
I shouted, "I regret drinking this water from a river this river, and it no surprise that it went into my stomach where my 7 hatchling is at!"
My voice echoed through the landscape as I shouted in frustration. "Why did I think drinking from this river was a good idea?! Of course, it would only make things worse! Now the water's just fueling their energy, and they're kicking me even harder!"
I glared at the river, as if it was to blame for my misery. "Seven hatchlings inside me, and now this! I must be the unluckiest dragon in the world..."
The kicking is getting stronger and worse by every second
I gritted my teeth, my body tensing up as the kicking intensified. "Ahh... no... no... no... This can't be happening!" I shouted, my voice strained with pain.
The dragonlings' kicks were getting stronger, more frequent, and more brutal by the second. I felt like I was being ripped apart from the inside out, my stomach muscles screaming in agony.
I writhed on the ground, my claws digging into the earth as I desperately sought some respite from the torment. But there was none. The kicking just kept getting worse...
I can see their kick bulge from my belly
I stared down at my belly in horror as the kicking continued. The skin was stretched taut, and I could see the outlines of tiny feet and claws bulging against my stomach walls.
Each kick sent a ripple through my skin, making it look like my belly was alive and churning. I felt like I was going to burst at any moment, and the sight of those bulges only added to my terror.
"No... no... no... This can't be happening!" I screamed, my voice hoarse from shouting. The pain was becoming unbearable, and I felt like I was losing control.
The kick is getting worse
I screamed at the top of my lungs as the kicking reached a fever pitch. The bulges on my belly grew more pronounced, and I could feel the dragonlings' tiny feet and claws pummeling my stomach walls with increasing ferocity.
My body convulsed, and I felt like I was being torn apart from the inside out. The pain was excruciating, and I couldn't catch my breath. I was trapped in a living nightmare, with no escape from the agony.
"MAKE IT STOP!" I roared, my voice echoing through the landscape as I begged for mercy from the tiny tormentors inside me.
I watched in horror as the dragonlings' claws began to push through my stomach skin, creating tiny, glistening bulges that threatened to tear me open at any moment.
My mind recoiled in terror as I realized that the claws were actually starting to pierce through my skin, causing blood to trickle down my scales. The pain was indescribable, and I felt like I was being slowly ripped apart.
"No... no... no... This can't be happening!" I screamed, my voice shrill with fear as I begged for the agony to end. But the dragonlings just kept kicking and clawing, their tiny bodies straining against my stomach walls with incredible force.
I begged, my voice cracking with desperation. "Please... please stop... I'm begging you... don't come out... don't tear me apart..." I sobbed, my body shaking with fear and pain.
I was at the mercy of the tiny dragonlings, and I knew it. I was completely powerless to stop them, and all I could do was plead with them to spare my life.
But my words fell on deaf ears. The dragonlings continued to kick and claw, their movements becoming more frantic and intense by the second. I knew I was running out of time...
I shouted, "IF YOU GO TO MY SMALL INTESTINE, I WILL GIVE YOUR FAVORITE FOOD! but I don't know Kieraxys' favorite food is!"
I screamed out the desperate offer, hoping against hope that the dragonlings would listen and spare my small intestine from their rampage.
But then I remembered Kieraxys, the youngest and most innocent of the bunch. I had no idea what his favorite food was, and I couldn't make the offer without knowing.
"NO, WAIT! KIERAXYS, WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE FOOD?!" I shouted, hoping against hope that the little dragonling would somehow hear me and respond.
But all I got in response was more kicking and clawing, as the dragonlings continued their relentless assault on my insides.
I have never known what Kieraxys' favorite food is, and if I am not wrong, Thyriatrix knows his favorite food but what is it
I thought back to my conversations with Thyriatrix, trying to recall if she had ever mentioned Kieraxys' favorite food.
And then, it hit me - Thyriatrix had once mentioned that Kieraxys had a weakness for "Gloopernuts" - a rare and exotic type of underwater delicacy that was notoriously difficult to find.
I shouted out the offer again, hoping that the dragonlings would listen. "IF YOU STOP KICKING AND CLAWING, I'LL FIND YOU ALL THE GLOOPERNUITS YOU CAN EAT! JUST PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS SCALY, STOP THE PAIN!"
The kick won't stop, and that seems not his favorite food
I screamed in frustration as the kicking continued unabated. "NOOOO! WHY WON'T YOU STOP?! I THOUGHT FOR SURE GLOOPERNUITS WERE KIERAXYS' FAVORITE FOOD!"
I was at my wit's end, desperate to find a way to appease the dragonlings and stop the agony. But it seemed I had guessed wrong, and now I was back to square one.
The kicking grew even more intense, and I felt like I was being torn apart. I was running out of time, and I knew I had to think fast if I wanted to survive this ordeal.
I mentally scrolled through the list of favorite foods for each of the dragonlings, hoping that somehow, someway, I had missed Kieraxys' favorite dish.
"Tharrosis loves Starlight Steak, Lyriath can't get enough of Ember Roast, Vyraxys goes wild for Thunderhoof Ribs, Nyxoria adores Moonlit Morsels, Lyrixa has a weakness for Dragonfire Skewers, and Kaidorix craves Wyrmsteak... but Kieraxys... what does Kieraxys love?!"
I slammed my fist on the ground in frustration, feeling like I was so close, yet so far, from solving the mystery of Kieraxys' favorite food. The kicking continued, a constant reminder that time was running out...
I lay there on my side in a forest, my albino scales slowly cracking and bleeding a little in with the misty surroundings.
As I yelled out. "THYRIATRIX MY MATE! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF FAVORITE FOOD KIERAXYS LOVE!"
I just want to make them stop and get out of my stomach
I cried out again, my voice hoarse from shouting. "THYRIATRIX! PLEASE! I KNOW YOU'RE NOT HERE, BUT I NEED TO KNOW... WHAT IS KIERAXYS' FAVORITE FOOD?!"
I writhed on the forest floor, my scales scraping against the damp earth as I tried to find some relief from the agony. The kicking and clawing inside my stomach seemed to be getting worse by the minute, and I knew I had to think fast if I wanted to survive.
But Thyriatrix was nowhere to be found, and I was left to face this torture alone. I could only hope that somehow, someway, she would hear my cries and come to my aid. Until then, I was at the mercy of the tiny monsters inside my belly...
Suddenly, I saw Thyriatrix and my older brother Kaidën but when they got closer, they saw my scales slowly cracking and bleeding
I gazed up at Thyriatrix, relief washing over me as she rushed to my side. Her eyes widened in horror as she took in the sight of my battered scales. "AETHERIUS! OH!" she cried out, her voice filled with concern.
My brother, Kaidën, stood beside her, his face etched with worry. "Brother, what's happening? What's going on?" he asked, his voice trembling.
I tried to speak, but my voice was weak and strained. "Kieraxys... inside me... kicking... clawing... need to know... favorite food..." I gasped, my words trailing off into a moan.
Thyriatrix's expression turned determined. "I know what to do," she said, her voice firm. "Kaidën, help me get Aetherius into a comfortable position. We need to calm him down and figure out what's going on with Kieraxys."
I questioned Thyriatrix, "Please....tell....me...what....Kieraxys....favorite....food...is?"
Thyriatrix's expression softened, and she gently placed a hand on my forehead. "Aetherius, my mate, Kieraxys' favorite food is... Sunripe Berries," she said, her voice calm and soothing.
I felt a surge of hope at her words, and I begged, "P-please... get... some... Sunripe... Berries..."
I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the task ahead. I shouted out loud, "ALL RIGHT, THARROS AND LYRIATH AND VYRAXYS AND NYXORIA AND LYRIXA AND KAIDORIX AND KIERAXYS, I WILL GET YOU YOUR FAVORITE FOOD IF YOU JUST GET OUT OF MY STOMACH NOW AND GO TO MY SMALL INTESTINE!"
I paused, waiting for a response. And then, to my relief, the kicking and clawing inside my stomach slowly began to subside. The dragonlings were listening!
With newfound hope, I pleaded, "Please, my little ones, just move to my small intestine. I promise you'll get all the Starlight Steak, Ember Roast, Thunderhoof Ribs, Moonlit Morsels, Dragonfire Skewers, Wyrmsteak, and Sunripe Berries you can eat! Just please, don't tear me apart!"
As I finished my plea, the kicking and clawing inside my stomach finally ceased. I felt a strange sensation, like a parade of tiny creatures marching through my digestive system. The dragonlings were making their way to my small intestine, just as I had begged them to.
I lay there, panting with relief, as the pressure inside my stomach began to dissipate. Thyriatrix and Kaidën looked on, their faces etched with concern, but also with a hint of hope.
Thyriatrix helped me sit up, and I took a few deep breaths, trying to calm my racing heart. "I think it's going to be okay," I said, my voice shaking with exhaustion. "They're moving to my small intestine. I just need to get them their favorite foods now."
Kaidën nodded, a determined look on his face. "I'll help you gather all the ingredients. We'll make sure those little dragonlings are fed and happy."
I smiled weakly, feeling a sense of gratitude towards my brother and my mate. Together, we would get through this ordeal, and our family would be whole and happy once again.
I feel they move to my small intestine
As the dragonlings settled into my small intestine, I felt a strange sense of relief wash over me. The intense pressure and pain in my stomach began to subside, replaced by a gentle, squirming sensation in my intestines.
I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of hope that we might finally be past the worst of it. Thyriatrix and Kaidën looked on, their faces etched with concern, but also with a hint of relief.
Thyriatrix smiled weakly and said, "I think we're making progress, my mate. Now, let's get those little ones the food they're craving."
Kaidën nodded in agreement. "I'll start gathering the ingredients. We'll need Starlight Steak, Ember Roast, Thunderhoof Ribs, Moonlit Morsels, Dragonfire Skewers, Wyrmsteak, and Sunripe Berries."
I smiled, feeling a sense of gratitude towards my brother and my mate. Together, we would get through this ordeal, and our family would be whole and happy once again.
Thyriatrix rubbing my belly gently
Thyriatrix's gentle touch sent waves of comfort through my body. She rubbed my belly in soothing circular motions, as if trying to calm the seven rambunctious dragonlings within, including the mischievous Kieraxys. Our six four-year-old hatchlings, Tharros, Lyriath, Vyraxys, Nyxoria, Lyrixa, and Kaidorix, had somehow managed to convince their little sibling to join them on this wild adventure. And now, after a day of wreaking havoc inside my stomach, they seemed to be finally settling down.
I closed my eyes, letting out a sigh of relief as her touch seemed to ease the squirming sensation in my intestines. "It's okay," she whispered softly. "We'll get through this together. Our little ones will be happy and healthy, and you'll be back to your old self in no time."
I smiled weakly, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Thyriatrix. Her love and care were a balm to my frazzled nerves, and I knew that with her by my side, we could face anything, even the chaos caused by our seven beloved dragonlings.
Thyriatrix sees that they kick so hard that my albino scales are creaked and there is blood coming out of it
Thyriatrix's eyes widened in alarm as she took in the sight of my battered scales. She gently touched the cracked and bleeding scales, her expression etched with concern.
"Oh, Aetherius," she whispered softly. "Our little ones are certainly enthusiastic, aren't they?" She smiled weakly, trying to reassure me.
Thyriatrix's hands began to glow with a soft, cyan light. She placed her hands on my injured scales, and the cyan light enveloped them. The light pulsed gently, and I felt a soothing energy emanating from it, easing the pain and discomfort.
As the cyan light continued to emanate from Thyriatrix's hands, I felt my scales begin to mend, the cracks sealing themselves, and the bleeding slowing to a stop.
Pov Thyriatrix
I gazed at Aetherius, my heart aching at the sight of his battered scales. The little ones were certainly enthusiastic, but they had no idea how fragile their father's body was. I gently touched the cracked and bleeding scales, As the cyan light continued to emanate from my hands, I felt Aetherius' scales begin to mend, the cracks sealing themselves, and the bleeding slowing to a stop. I poured all my energy into the healing process, willing my mate to be whole and healthy once again.
Pov Aetherius
I gazed up at Thyriatrix, my eyes filled with gratitude as I watched her tend to my battered scales. Her hands glowed with a soft, cyan light, and I could feel the soothing energy emanating from them, easing my pain and discomfort.
As I looked at her, I saw the concern etched on her face, the gentle touch of her hands, and the love shining in her eyes. I felt a surge of emotion, my heart swelling with love and appreciation for this incredible female who was my mate.
"Thank you, Thyriatrix," I whispered softly, my voice barely audible over the sound of the dragonlings' gentle squirming inside me. "I don't know what I would do without you."
Thyriatrix giggled. "They'll burst out, and you die if me and your older brother didn't arrive on time!"
I chuckled weakly, wincing at the thought of the dragonlings bursting out of me. "I owe you one, Thyriatrix... and Kaidën. I don't think I would have made it if you two hadn't shown up when you did."
I looked up at Thyriatrix, my eyes locking onto hers. "You saved my life, Thyriatrix. Again."
The dragonlings have arrived at my large intestine
I felt a sense of relief wash over me as the dragonlings continued their journey through my digestive system. "They're moving into my large intestine now," I said, my voice a little stronger than before.
Thyriatrix smiled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Well, at least they're making progress. Soon they'll be out of your system, and we can focus on getting them fed and happy."
I nodded, feeling a sense of hope that this ordeal would soon be over. The thought of finally being able to rest and recover was a welcome one.
I feel the 7 hatchling clumping together in my large intestine, and I feel the pressure
I winced, feeling the pressure build in my large intestine as the seven hatchlings clumped together. "Ah, they're gathering in my large intestine now," I said, my voice strained.
Thyriatrix's expression turned concerned, and she placed a soothing hand on my belly. "Hang in there, Aetherius. It won't be much longer. They'll be out of your system soon."
I took a deep breath, trying to relax and ease the pressure. But it was getting harder, the sensation of the hatchlings squirming and pushing against my intestinal walls becoming more intense by the second.
Thyriatrix rubbing my belly "hang in there we will gave your favorite food soon!"
I smiled weakly, feeling a surge of relief at Thyriatrix's soothing touch. Her gentle rubbing of my belly seemed to calm the hatchlings, and the pressure eased slightly.
"Thank you, Thyriatrix," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "I think they're getting impatient. They just want their food."
Thyriatrix chuckled and continued to rub my belly. "Don't worry, my love. We'll get them fed soon. Starlight Steak, Ember Roast, Thunderhoof Ribs, Moonlit Morsels, Dragonfire Skewers, Wyrmsteak, and Sunripe Berries - their favorite foods will be ready soon."
I feel them pushing one another in my large intestine fighting for room
I grimaced, feeling the hatchlings' restless movements in my large intestine. "They're getting a bit aggressive in there," I said, my voice strained.
Thyriatrix's hands moved in gentle, soothing motions on my belly. "It's okay, they're just excited for food. Hang in there, it won't be much longer."
I took a deep breath, trying to relax and ease the discomfort. But it was getting harder, the sensation of the hatchlings pushing and shoving each other in my intestinal space becoming more intense by the second.
And they began to kick
I winced, feeling the hatchlings' kicks in my large intestine. "Ah, they're kicking now," I said, my voice tight with discomfort.
Thyriatrix's hands moved in gentle, soothing motions on my belly, trying to calm the hatchlings. "Shh, little ones, it's almost time for food," she cooed.
But the kicking continued, each tiny foot striking my intestinal walls with surprising force. I gritted my teeth, trying to bear the discomfort, knowing that it would soon be over.
I grunted. "I think they want to bite on it!"
Thyriatrix's eyes widened in alarm, and she laughed nervously. "Oh dear, I think you're right! They're getting a bit too eager for food!" She rubbed my belly soothingly, trying to calm the hatchlings down. "Not yet, little ones, not yet! We'll get you fed soon, I promise!"
They seem to want to get out
I grunted, feeling the hatchlings' intense movements in my large intestine. "I think they're trying to make a break for it," I said, my voice strained.
Thyriatrix's expression turned serious, and she placed a firm hand on my belly. "Not yet, little ones," she said firmly. "You need to wait just a bit longer. We'll get you out safely, I promise."
I grunted. "I think I should push them out of my large intestine that I know it will hurt more than hell!" I stared to pushing
I gritted my teeth, bracing myself for the pain as I started to push the hatchlings out of my large intestine. Thyriatrix's eyes widened in concern, but she nodded encouragingly.
"Go ahead, Aetherius. It's almost over. Just push them out," she urged, her hands guiding mine as I strained to expel the hatchlings.
I took a deep breath, focusing all my energy on pushing the hatchlings out. The pain was intense, like a burning fire in my intestines, but I knew it was necessary. With one final heave, I felt the hatchlings emerge from my body, and I collapsed back, exhausted.
Tharros shouted, "YAY I'M OUT! FATHER THANK YOU FOR US TO GO TO YOUR STOMACH TO HAVE FUN IN THERE!" And I disagree
I glared at Tharros, my eyes narrowing in mock annoyance. "Fun?! You think being squeezed through my digestive system was fun?! You little rascal, I'm surprised I didn't digest you all!" I chuckled, relieved that the ordeal was over.
Thyriatrix laughed, shaking her head. "I think they enjoyed the adventure, Aetherius. But maybe next time, we can find a less... digestive way for them to have fun."
I shouted, "YOU ALL CAUSE MY BELLY SCALES TO CREAK AND I WAS BLEEDING I WOULD HAVE DIE BY YOU BURST OUT IF YOUR MOTHER AND UNCLE KAIDËN WASN'T THERE TO SAVE ME!" I stared to push the next one out of my stomach
Pov Tharros
I looked up at Father, my eyes wide with excitement, but also a bit sheepish. "Oops, sorry Father! We didn't mean to hurt you!" I said, my voice filled with contrition.
But then I saw Father's face contort in effort, and I realized he was pushing out another one of my siblings! I looked around, seeing my brothers and sisters wriggling around, already free from Father's stomach.
I let out a cheer, "Yay! Another one is coming out! Go, Father, go!" I shouted, dancing around, my little wings flapping wildly.
Mother smiled. "Let clean you up. There is a river!" She pointed, and it was only like a few dm away, and I was covered by smelly stuff
I looked down at myself and wrinkled my nose in distaste. I was covered in a sticky, smelly substance that seemed to be a mix of digestive juices and who-knows-what. I felt a bit embarrassed, but Mother's warm smile put me at ease.
"Thanks, Mother," I said, relieved, and followed her to the nearby river. The cool, clear water felt amazing as I waded in, washing away the sticky mess. I splashed and played, feeling the tension and discomfort of the past few hours melt away.
As I cleaned up, I couldn't help but look over at Father, who was still recovering from our...adventurous exit. I felt a pang of guilt, but Mother's reassuring presence reminded me that everything was okay.
I jump in and clean myself
Pov Aetherius
I watched with a mixture of relief and amusement as Tharros jumped into the river, splashing and playing in the water. I was glad to see him happy and carefree, especially after the ordeal we'd just been through.
I turned to Thyriatrix, who was smiling warmly at our little dragonling. "Thanks for being here, Thyriatrix. I don't know what I would have done without you."
Thyriatrix wrapped her arms around me, holding me close. "You'll never have to find out, my love. I'll always be here for you, no matter what."
I push the next one out of my large intestine
I grunted, feeling the familiar pressure and discomfort as the next hatchling emerged from my large intestine. Thyriatrix was by my side, offering words of encouragement and support.
As the hatchling finally broke free, I let out a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of accomplishment and pride. Another one down, several more to go.
I looked over at Tharros, who was still splashing and playing in the river, completely carefree. I smiled, feeling grateful for this little family of mine.
Thyriatrix smiled and said
"Almost there, AETHERIUS! Just a few more to go. You're doing great." She rubbed my back soothingly, her touch calming my frazzled nerves.
I smiled back at her, feeling a surge of gratitude for her unwavering support. "Thanks, Thyriatrix. I couldn't do this without you."
And Kaidorix is out
I let out a whoop of excitement as Kaidorix emerged from my stomach, wriggling and squirming after his wild adventure. Thyriatrix helped me guide him to the river, where Tharros, Lyriath, Vyraxys, Nyxoria, Lyrixa, and the others were still splashing and playing.
As Kaidorix hit the water, he let out a tiny roar of delight, paddling around with his siblings. Tharros, with his shimmering silver scales, swam up to Kaidorix and nudged him playfully. I watched, grinning from ear to ear, feeling an overwhelming sense of relief and joy that all 7 of my little troublemakers were finally out and safe after their 24-hour stomach escapade!
Thyriatrix smiled, her light green scales glinting in the sunlight. "I'm just glad everyone is safe and sound. Though, Aetherius, I have to say...your albino scales are looking a bit...rumpled." She chuckled, and I laughed, feeling a sense of normalcy return.
Tharros is done cleaning, and it is now his younger siblings' turn to get in a river
Tharros, now sparkling clean, climbed out of the river and shook himself off, sending droplets of water flying everywhere. He gave a satisfied nod, his silver scales glinting in the sunlight.
"Okay, guys! My turn's done. Now it's your turn to get cleaned up!" Tharros exclaimed, grinning at his younger siblings.
Lyriath, Vyraxys, Nyxoria, Lyrixa, Kaidorix, and Kieraxys all cheered and chirped, eager to take their turns in the river. Thyriatrix and I watched with smiles, happy to see our little ones having so much fun.
Lyriath, with his dark and blood-red scales, was the first to jump into the river, splashing and playing in the water. Vyraxys, Nyxoria, Lyrixa, Kaidorix, and Kieraxys soon followed, each one taking turns to clean themselves off. The river was filled with the sounds of their laughter and roaring.
Thyriatrix and I sat on the riverbank, watching our little family with pride and joy. "They're so full of energy," Thyriatrix said, smiling.
I nodded, chuckling. "And mischief. I'm just glad they're having fun."
As the younger dragons finished their bath, they climbed out of the river, shaking themselves off and sending water droplets flying everywhere. Tharros, who had been watching from the riverbank, let out a hearty laugh. "You guys are quite the handful!" he exclaimed, his silver scales glinting in the sunlight.
Thyriatrix and I exchanged a warm glance, happy to see our little family bonding and having fun together. "Shall we find some food for them?" Thyriatrix suggested, her light green scales shimmering with a hint of mischief.
I grinned, knowing that our dragons loved food almost as much as they loved adventure. "Sounds like a plan to me," I said, and together we set off to hunt for some tasty treats for our beloved dragons.

Suddenly, we heard Kaidorix, my older brother. "I got their favorite food!"
I turned to see Kaidorix, his forest green scales glinting with excitement, holding a large basket filled with an assortment of their favorite dishes. Tharros's eyes widened at the sight of the tender Starlight Steaks, while Lyriath's navy blue and dark red scales seemed to gleam with anticipation as he sniffed the savory Ember Roasts.
Vyraxys's ears perked up at the sight of the Thunderhoof Ribs, and Nyxoria's amethyst scales shimmered with delight as she spotted the delicate Moonlit Morsels. Lyrixa's rose gold scales glinted with excitement as she reached for the spicy Dragonfire Skewers, and Kieraxys's copper scales seemed to glow with joy as he dug into the sweet Sunripe Berries.
And, of course, Kaidorix had made sure to include his own favorite, the juicy Wyrmsteaks. The younger dragons cheered and chattered, eager to dig in and savor their favorite treats.
Pov Tharros
I gazed lovingly at the spread before me, my silver scales glinting with excitement. Kaidorix had really outdone himself this time - the Starlight Steaks looked absolutely divine. I could almost smell the tender, grilled meat, and my stomach growled in anticipation.
I glanced over at my siblings, all of whom were eagerly chattering and reaching for their own favorite dishes. Lyriath was already digging into the Ember Roasts, his navy blue and dark red scales seeming to gleam with pleasure. Vyraxys was gnawing happily on a rack of Thunderhoof Ribs, while Nyxoria delicately nibbled on a Moonlit Morsel.
Lyrixa, meanwhile, was enthusiastically devouring a Dragonfire Skewer, her rose gold scales glinting with excitement. And Kieraxys was munching contentedly on a handful of Sunripe Berries, his copper scales shining with joy.
I smiled, feeling grateful for this wonderful family of mine. And then, with a happy sigh, I dug into my own Starlight Steak, savoring the tender, juicy flavor.
The flavors danced on my tongue, and I closed my eyes, letting out a contented sigh. This was the life - surrounded by my loving family, enjoying delicious food, and basking in the warm sunlight.
As I ate, I listened to the happy chatter of my siblings, their laughter and playful banter filling the air. Lyriath and Vyraxys were engaged in a lively debate over whose dish was better, Ember Roasts or Thunderhoof Ribs. Nyxoria and Lyrixa were giggling and sharing a Dragonfire Skewer, while Kieraxys was trying to convince Kaidorix to share his Wyrmsteak.
I smiled, feeling grateful for these little moments of joy. As the oldest sibling, I sometimes felt a sense of responsibility, but times like these reminded me to relax and enjoy the simple pleasures in life.
Just as I was finishing up my Starlight Steak, I heard Father's voice behind me. "How's everyone doing? Enjoying their meals?"
I look at Father and nodded
Father smiled, his albino scales glinting in the sunlight. "Good, good. I'm glad to see everyone's happy and full." He chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Kaidorix, you've outdone yourself this time. The Wyrmsteaks are a hit, as always."
Kaidorix beamed with pride, his forest green scales glinting with pleasure. "Thanks, Father! I'm just glad everyone's enjoying their meals."
Mother, who had been watching the exchange with a warm smile, spoke up. "Now that everyone's eaten, how about we find a nice spot to rest for a bit? We've had a big day, after all."
I nodded in agreement, feeling a bit sleepy myself. A nap sounded like just the thing after our big meal.
As we finished eating, I walked towards Father alone while the rest of my siblings chatted with Uncle Kaidën and mother is with them too
I look up at Father. "How did it feel when we were having fun inside your stomach, Father?"
Father answered, "Hell!"
I burst out laughing at Father's blunt response, my silver scales shaking with mirth. "Hell, really?" I asked, still chuckling.
Father chuckled, his albino scales glinting with amusement. "Well, what else can I say? It was a wild ride, Tharros. I'm just glad everyone's safe and sound now."
I grinned, feeling a bit mischievous. "We're sorry, Father. We didn't mean to cause any trouble."
Father smiled, his eyes warm with affection. "I know you didn't, son. And I have to admit, it was...interesting...having all of you inside me at once. But next time, let's stick to more conventional adventures, okay?"
I smiled. "And also don't drink water when we are inside your stomach. We freak out in there!"
Father, look at me angered. WELL DON'T MAKE THE KICK PAINFUL!" he yelled at me and my ears folding back
I took a step back, startled by Father's sudden outburst. My ears folded back in surprise, and I felt a twinge of fear. I hadn't meant to upset Father, and I certainly didn't want to relive the experience of being kicked around inside his stomach.
"Sorry, Father," I said quickly, trying to placate him. "I didn't mean to bring it up. It won't happen again, I promise."
Father's expression softened slightly, and he let out a deep breath. "Just...be more careful next time, okay? I don't want to have to go through that again."
I nodded eagerly, still feeling a bit shaken. "I will, Father. I promise."
I started to cry from Father's outburst
Father's expression immediately changed from anger to concern as he saw me start to cry. He rushed over to me, his albino scales glinting with worry, and gently wrapped his claws around me.
"Tharros, I'm so sorry," he whispered, his voice filled with regret. "I didn't mean to scare you. I love you, son."
I buried my face in Father's scales, sobbing uncontrollably. Father held me close, stroking my silver scales with his claws, trying to comfort me.
"It's okay, Tharros," he whispered. "I'm here for you. I'll always protect you."
He released his sleeping gas, and I was knocked out and fell asleep.
