《Fly in Fantasy》Death of a dragon
Advertisement
Two piles of eggs lay on the dragon's corpse. The mother had lain her 75 eggs, but she didn't bother splitting it evenly over the whole dragon corpse before dying.
The eggs on the bottom soon turned into charcoal, their lifes not even beginning. The ashed eggs then made the pile slump down, egg after egg pushing into the remains soon were charred by the dragon's heat. However, the eggs on top of the pile were still safe. A dragon stored its magic energy inside its scales, not inside its flesh. At least this variant did.
This dragon had been a unique dragon while it was alive. It's the only lesser dragon who attempted to evolve into a higher being, an ice dragon. For the evolution he needed an everlasting ice shard, only found by ascending up to the 10th island. This dragon only barely survived, taking treasures left and right before escaping to the ground level.
There he laid in hibernation, plotting to burn the 10th island into ashes (or freeze to hell, as an ice dragon does), casually turning visitors into blinking piles of charcoal. It didn't have to fight with any of them - they were as weak and gullible as a baby.
At least, until the noisy chatter of 4 adventurers disturbed his slumber and killed him.
One of them was too strong for him. The adventurer felt like one of the monsters the dragon peeked at on the 10th island. Chattering and laughing as if it was no big deal to fight against a dragon. Fight a dragon! A puny human! That human monster boasted in front of everyone else how he'd slay the dragon with only a beginner sword.
And that was how the dragon died to a beginner sword.
But the dragon was still in the process of becoming an ice dragon, cooling its flesh enough for the eggs to not burn into dust on spot.

All these miraculous events coupled together, a near-ice dragon, overzealous adventurers who didn't take the flesh, and the dumbness calculated risks of a fly mother, enabled 3 eggs to survive at the end. 15 hours passed, and the corpse cooled down to a stand still. The ambient mana was still hanging in the air - the fly colony long gone. But the eggs were still there, and they would survive.
Slowly the three eggs cracked. Soon they would hatch, and a larvae would crawl out from each egg that so miraculously survived.

Young bloods (WIP)
" So-called leaders prostituted their people to wars and abuse. They destroyed families, culture and economies; their hands dyed red by the blood of the children, the families trampled by their lecherous motivations and diabolical war machines. Trained and taught by the Revenants or rather “young bloods” from their war-torn world, we were going to build a better world for us and for the later generations, a world when there shall be no more wars waged over territory, a world where boys and girls can frolic around for all of eternity." -Sasha, Terutan regular army cadet. ‘History is determined by the victors, and here we stand transcended over those who abused us. History is filled with liars, broken promises of eternal prosperity and peace. The more things change, the more things stayed the same: ideology change, location shift but power will always find a place to rest its head. We fought and bled for the adults, the grown men and women who preached of us being their future, preached us of the freedom from tyranny and slavery; no wonder why we hated them so. History is determined by the victor, and there shall be no victors when we’re done.’- Yulia Bronskavya, Red Army Homeguard. As the first modern war came to a close in November 1st, 1918, rows of passed juveniles laid the battlefields. In the name of some royal fat cats or some shitty national leader, cruelty and crimes were committed against the weak and the vulnerable younglings; in other words, adults were assholes. Their deaths marked a new beginning, a new beginning in a strange and magical land that was and had only been dreamt of in stories and folk tale, they had arrived to Terruta. The first ones regarded themselves as Revenants, heroes who had been able to be reborn in this world and began their adventure to explore this strange foreign land. However, “every coin have two sides, like everyone have two faces”. 'As they left their former life behind, the young soldiers and operators found themselves being deceived, abused and taken advantaged off again by the elders of this world. Many were abused, tortured, raped and sold to slavery, Revenants were quite sought after due to their timeless charm, strength, intellect and immortality, they were unable to be killed no matter what; many were bought and used as pets, slaves and entertainers for their masters’ entertainment. Fed up with the similar treatment and abuse by the adults of this world, many revolted and founded ICC, International Cooperative Coalition.'-Sasaki Kotegawa, JSDF Private.
