Ā (Going under re-write, some things might not make sense as I am not doing this in one go, it is better to wait till it says "(EDITED)" around chapter 5)
Today was a nice day. It was Kep's birthday, and of course, birthdays are good days for most people. One of his friends, also his older sister, gave him a Deathsong plush crocheted by herself. He loved HTTYD, specifically RttE as it introduced his favourite dragon, the deathsong. It was albino too, which he appreciated.
He had the plush on his bed, sitting there quietly. HeĀ wasĀ grateful for it too, but now, it looked creepy, looking directly into his soul. Was it his fault for placing it there, yes, was it also his fault for staring at it for serval minutes, probably.Ā
It was night now and Kep aught to go to bed after he brushed his teeth. He quickly did that before settling into bed. It was hard to fall asleep with the deathsong STILL looking at him, but before he did, he thought some thoughts. Heh, imagine if I died and woke up in HTTYD? Maybe even as a Deathsong, if I do die and get separated from my friends and family for the rest of my life, I want that to be my wish.
Wish granted.

I had woken up and yawned, but all I felt was liquid going down my throat. I spat pretty much all of it out, but the little bits that didn't spit out, I ended up swallowing. it tasted kind of good. It was dark and cramped, not only that he had other appendages he vaguely felt. My legs and arms feel a bit... different. I now also have something attached to my butt and my back, great. This is NOT a good prank. I swished around the butt appendage, probably a tail... Wait, swished around? That means I could CONTROL it, as in, it's attached to me and my brain.
I felt my brain blink as I registered this. Then last night's thought crashed through me.Ā The wish? Did it really come true? Then that means the wish should be accurate exactly what I said... I hope.Ā
Now first problem, getting out of here. I tried to break my way out but with all this liquid, It was too hard for my puny little arms or legs to break out. I needed to get rid of this liquid, but how? Wait, is it me, or am I getting claustrophobic? I got to get out of there as fast as possible! There was ONE way I could do it... When I swallowed it early, it tasted yummy.Ā Then I know what I must do, DRINK!
I started slurping up the liquid quickly, I was still disgusted by the whole thing but IĀ neededĀ to get out! Soon enough, there was barely any liquid and now, even with the liquid covering the inside of the egg I was probably in. It was way easier to crack the shell, and after relentlessly clawing and biting my way out. When I finally got out, I looked at myself.Ā I look kinda like Graff... And the plushie my sis made for me, oh sis, I'll miss you, but no time to dwell on the past... Wait, am I albino?
I looked around, then I heard soft growling, then I looked up. I saw what seemed to be a male Deathsong growling at me curiously. Its wings were spread out, it looked exactly like the Deathsong from the Imperfect Harmony episode. I whimper softly, I think I'm dead.
No, no, no! I just possibly died, I don't want to die again in my new cool life as a dragon. Wait, what if he's my dad? Though, I highly doubt that this dragon, the exact same dragon from that episode, is my dad.
The Deathsong folded his wings, sighing. "Great, another hatchling... I really hope this strange one is the one, then Sephra will stop using me for the favour I owe her. She is a great friend but this is tiring."
Oh, he talked. I mean, I'm a dragon and I can understand other dragons and stuff but I expected that to happen later in my life, not now! Though, I ain't complaining.
"Look, hatchling, you're coming with me. My name is Echo, and I'm going to take you to someone. You probably don't know what I'm saying, but still, there's always a chance."
Without even giving me time to process that, he lifted up and snatched me up with his back legs and carried me away. I could only cry out in shock as I ascended up into the air.
