Hatching Stories

Anthology of short stories in various genres, as well as fragments of stories that never got off the ground.

My name is Marigold S.S Aerian currently the only legitimate Daughter of the King, ruler of the Aer Kingdom. I have four older brothers. We All received titles and duties early in life based on our talents, one title I am most proud of is 'Master Inventor', because of my contributions to the development of the Kingdom's 'Magic Tech' which has greatly helped improve the lives of many subjects in Aer. Everyone says I am gifted with great wisdom of our ancestors which is true but not on the way people think. Actually I can remember a past life. It's not my past life, if I ever had one, but that of my great-great-grandaunt she was the eldest daughter of the Nobel Fire Phoenix clan, the only known descendants of the First King of Aer Kingdom. My great-great-grandaunt Marie-Grace-Ann Rosalind Fotiá was an Inventor and had a love for creating things that no one has ever thought of, she was both praised and scorned for it and I want to be just like her spearheading the new Technologies that will ensure my Kingdom has a prosperous future ahead. If my eldest brother becomes the next King that future will become a reality, but being part of this Royal family succession won't come that easy. The Royal Crown has fallen 3 times in this Kingdom's history, the first time it happened was during the Fifth King's rule it was a betrayal both he and his Kingdom never saw coming, soon after chaos ensued marking the being of a War that never officially ended. It also marked the last time a Fire Phoenix ever sat on the throne until now... Hay,.... here, I have lived in the ocean my entire life almost 100 years, which is very long compared to the current expected life span of my species 50 years. At present we are dying faster than we are being born, and if this continues my colony which holds the second largest tribe of the eight oceans will cease to exist.

Dragons mingling with other Dragons for days on end. until one day, the Queen of the Thurkiitu tribe, Queen Raelgel, decided to have a Twilit dragon named,Sus Vulom, as her mate and a King by her side. but he slowly took over the tribe and consumed all the power within and created nothing but a dark army out of the innocent tribe and turned the peaceful land into a battle. Years later after gaining full control of the tribe, the Queen decided she had enough and went behind the King's back to mate with another dragon from the Whedabra tribe in hopes of created hybrid, hatchlings and raise and teach them to defeat the King of the Thurkiitu tribe before he kills off all the other dragons in different tribes. But once the eggs were laid and about to hatch, the King some how found out about them and wanted a execution on the Queen and her newly found mate as well as the eggs as soon as possible. Fortunately, they escaped from their old home with the two newly hatched, hatchlings. Until later in the years, the hatchlings get left off on their own to defend themselves. This will be a story about the two hatchlings, Drane and Vutha. Both brother and sister that were raised to run in fear or fight for peace and freedom. _________________________NOTES: For all those who know about MSPaintAdventures, aka Homestuck, then you should know how to do this... but for all those who dont, i'll give a brief explanation as part of my notes. I am planning on doing two separate perspectives all in one story, but i will publish them in their own books instead going on through every other chapter. More info on this will be publish at the end of the introduction book. it take me some time to get through the first two books or at least some of the chapters before publishing them, so please just be patient with me.

Such desire for dragon eggs attracts a certain thief to a dragon lair, deep in the mountains. At the same time, the eggs are just about to hatch and their parents are keeping a very good look on them. To make matters even crazier, a dragon hunter is approaching the dragons' den, ready for a good hunt. Meeting of all those characters results in an adventure none of them would even dream about. The story is told from three perspectives. The thief's, the hunter's and the hatchlings'. Each perspective can be read separately. //The chapters here will be marked by their perspective. T for thief's D for dragons' H for hunter's Only the first chapter is without a mark.

I grin ferally and watch as the man yelps in pain, blood trickling out of the deep claw marks on his arm. The scientist looks at me in surprise. "Specimen D5844 has succeeded in getting a hit on the lab assistant and seems proud of herself. Her intelligence should be monitored, in case there is more than meets the eye."

I hadn't thought this far ahead yet.
