Chapter 4 - Drakes

After a few more faints i managed remain awake, the sun was already setting and was getting dark really fast, without the sun disturb me i could get a good view of the other dragons.

The two identical dragons had red scales and one had red eyes as well while the other had green eyes, one thing i didn't know was a pair of horns peeking out of the back of their head each horn has at least 4 meters, their tails was of their size and as well their wings, for some reason only mine was stupidly big.

The slightly bigger green dragon had beaultiful emerald scales and eyes, some scales in his chest was darker leaving stripes on him, one was so big that goes from the bottom of his neck and goes vertically down to his abdomen, with another stripe going horizontally on the upper part of the other mark making a cross pattern, his horns was significantly bigger than the two red dragons, towering around 6 meters, and again his wings and tail was the same size as his body

Now the two gargantual dragons they easily surpassed all other dragons, the smaller one had crimson red scales, much brighter than the other two, his olive green eyes that could penetrate my body and look straight into my soul, his eyes had a strange but gentle feeling that made me calm down a bit, the other dragon, which was a head taller than the red dragon, had dark green scales with some pink scars all over its body, some of them came in threes like animals scrats, but his eyes were the most intriguing thing about him, they were an abyssal black that seemed to have no end drawing me to him never to be seen again, just looking at it gave me goosebumps, the two gigantic dragons had wings and tails the same size but their horn was different, while the red dragon was about 14 meters the green dragon had two giant horns at least 20 meters.

"Do i have horns too?"I spoke in what came out as a small growl bringing all their attention to me since they hadn't noticed I was already awake, I also didn't notice them looking at me as I searched for my horns.

i looked for them incessantly putting my two front paws behind my head to feel them, i end up falling on my back still looking for my horns, after some time looking i can feel two spikes behind some scales on the back of my neck, I let out a growl of satisfaction.

"..."

noticing them looking at me I run behind a strange little tree, still not realizing I was on top of one of the dragons somehow as they began to speak again.

============================================

'Mom':"He's so cute!".

Lyra:"I know right?! Ahhh i wanna rug him, but that would traumatize him again..... ugh.".

Lon:"Why is his wings so big though?".

Tay:"Don't know, but that just make him more cute.".

Everybody turns to Tay.

Tay:"What? i can't call my little simbling cute?".

'Dad':"Ahem..... We better get going it's getting dark already, we don't want to be here late night.".

'Mom':"Yeah i don't wanna get across those little drakes just to sour my mood.".

Lon:"Why don't the elders just come here and swoop those guys out of here?"

'Dad':"Because as much they are annoying they are needed.".

Lyra:"Why?".

Tay:"The drakes have two big differences between us, one is their wings that are on their front limbs, and the other is their intelligence, which is just a little superior to that of an ordinary animal, so they can't speak our language and tend to attack everything that has life when it is hungry, because of that they kill all the threatening life forms on this island as their strength is comparable to ours, we use this island to hatch the dragon eggs here because of the low danger level.".

'Dad':"You're right Tay, but that's not the reason we use this island as a hatching place, drakes have a short life span and when they die they release a vast amount of magic being beneficial to the little ones, that's the main reason of the elders not to annihilate them, but that comes with a risk.".

Lyra:"What is it dad?".

'Dad':"You see Lyra, when a dragon get out of his egg the smell of the egg white comes with it, this attracts not only the little dragon but the drakes as well, the smell is barely perceptible to adults but babies smell them very well, which could result in the little dragon being ripped apart by dozens of drakes.".

Lon:"So why don't we have other dragons guarding everything around here?".

'Dad':"Good question Lon, look we can't bother other dragons to protect the island all time as the numbers of dragons are scarce, and yet it is the family duty to-".

A movement around a bush make everyone stop.

'Dad':"Well, we better get going if we don't wanna this place filled with drakes.".

============================================

They stop talking, I heard and recorded everything they said even without understanding a word, what I could understand were the names of the three smaller dragons, Lyra the red dragon with green eyes, Lon the dragon with red eyes and scales, and Tay the green dragon and the the oldest of the three, I assumed that the other two dragons are the parents and that the four of us are brothers.

Suddenly a dark green paw approaches me, "Verkh (Up)" The giant dark green dragon speaks as he nods his head at me to get up on his paw, I immediately understand and shake my head in denial.

His jaw opens in shock seeing that I really understood him and still gave that answer, "Lyra" He called, as soon as he called the 'ground' start shaking, i turn around just to see those familiar green eyes.

"GEEEE!" I let out a high-pitched scream and in less than a minute I'm on top of the giant dragon's head hidden behind one of its horns trembling, he gives me a look of satisfaction as Lyra's eyes widen in shock.
