Tvaylin slowly started to calm down a few minutes after he woke, he remembered the rage, and it all but flowed through his little body at the injustice of it. Tvaylin got up and headed out of his lair in search of food and water in greater quantities than he had.
His mother had dropped off more kills and checked on Selentia, his mother's scent was everywhere on the food from being in her mouth. It distracted him but he still watched his sisters as he drank from a little dirty spring on one side of the cave, he showed himself in the lighter sections of the huge cave to get his sisters used to seeing flashes of him.
Tvaylins mother watched this all in amusement as she watched him explore every approach he could find but his mother had left the food in an open area making it so tvaylin couldn't just sneak food, her goal was to push him to his limits even if he had to go a week without food, as long as it made him stronger it was worth it in her eye's.
Tvaylin had already dashed away with food twice, no way his sisters were going to let it happen a third time, he would have to claim it, not through trickery but through a show of force, that was HIS food and he would take it, not today but soon. He was growing extremely fast still due to the world magic still pouring into him, his mind became sharper, scales thicker and claws longer, they had a shiny sheen to them that was absent on any of his sister's claws,
Tvaylin finally chose the next day to make his stand and to take the food, not just a bite this time, but all of it.
He had a plan, he watched his sisters and knew he had to strike before Selentia became fully functional, it was the day before that she had been walking carefully across the floor, it wouldn't be long before she was in the fight and he really would have no chance for further food.
Running in the shadows he watched when Fortuna took her daily naps after mid-day, just after her breathing became steady Tvaylin crept out of the shadows against one of the walls, he had wedged himself in a particularly dark patch of shadows waiting for just this moment. He sprinted out and ambushed the sleeping dragonette, first he bit down on the back of one of her rear legs in the knee joint, he bit down then shook tearing muscles and blood came out in great spurts. Tvaylin quickly retreated just before Drestia could get ahold of him. Two down two to go.
Tvaylin had learned that crippling move from his dreams and it worked just as well now as it did then, he jumped to Drestias side and savaged his claws down her face causing her to smart back in surprise, the attack didn't maim her but still distracted her from her own attack making it go wide as he pushed her off balance into a heap on the floor.
The last standing Dragonette charged after Tvaylin as he sprinted towards the meat that Selentia was near, he roared at her to get out of the way as he used his slightly bigger bulk to push her down with one foreclaw as he started to tare strips of meat off and swallow as much as he could before Drestia and Galeso could chase him off.
Drestia jumped on his back hissing the whole while as she tried to get her claws into her bigger brother's scales once again, Tvaylin felt his sister clawing up his back from where she jumped but ignored her until Galeso caught up and started to tare into his hindquarters.
He gave up on any more meat, he had a few mouths full and it would last now he just had to escape from his sisters, kicking out he caught Galeso by surprise as one of his claws caught the side of her mouth opening a large gash as the claw caught the unarmored flesh and ripped through it.
Galeso let go and started to spit large gouts of blood onto the ground and didn't chase her retreating brother. Drestia let go as soon as he started to sprint away, not wanting to be the sole focus of her brother when he got out of range of easy help.
He ran fast into the dark, he had gotten a meal and had managed to injure his sisters again, a few more attempts like this and he wouldn't even have to fight for food. He had received a few wounds but nothing deep, drestia was too small to hurt him in any meaningful way unless she got under him or went for his eyes or other sensitive areas, Galeso hadn't managed to get a good grip on him so in his mind, the battle was a success.
Lady Silverfang once again watched dispassionately as he flew into the darkness. "What a smart little wyrmling, he knew that he couldn't defeat them in a straight-up fight, so he is wounding them to keep them out of the near future fights for food, he is playing the long game not the short game."
Tvaylin felt nothing when he tore into Fortuna, crippling her was what was needed to eat so he did it. He retreated to his hole once again to sleep and rest before what he figured would be the last fight he would have to engage in before his sisters stopped resisting and just let him eat his fill.
Wondering what would come after that he drifted off to sleep once again hoping that the dreams would come and teach him more, he was learning many things, and the more he could learn the better the dragon race would be off in the future....
