Chapter Text
The sunrise was quite beautiful in Grasslands.
Unlike the other worlds, where fog or sandstorms or the worry of dying today would block it out, it was easy to watch it rise here, where it reflected off of the dew collected on the trees and grass, and reflecting off of the crystal rocks on-top of floating islands. Tommy wouldn't have it any other way here, to be honest. It was a nice relaxation point and starting journey world for new dragon trainers and young dragons alike.
The magmip stretched his wings and his claws, feeling much more energized. He waited for someone else who was sharing an den with him to wake up aswell, although they really DID like to sleep for the longest time each day. Tommy didn't like that, whats the point of getting up if your just gonna walk around and go back to asleep as quickly as possible.
He really hoped Benrey didn't take so long to get up anyways.
"C'mon- wake up already!!" Tommy whined, pulling at the skelltor's literal bone arms, which caused Benrey to groan. "having to work is cringeeeee, benrey want sleep" They groaned, finally caving in after a minute. The skelltor didn't have eyelids, which Tommy knew because, you know, they were a skeleton dragon, but watching them sleep with open eyes was unnerving.
"Today is our turn to help with the new hatchlings! Remember?" Tommy said, attempting to drag Benrey out of the den. It took awhile, but Benrey eventually got up on their own and walked out of the den with Tommy. "dude i could teach the new hatchlings cool gamer stuff! raise them as young dragon gamers, ya know." They winked, and Tommy rolled his eyes. The duo eventually reached the Grasslands Hatchery, Tommy noticed that the check-in was already open.
-----------------
Whilst Tommy and Benrey were taking care of the hatchlings, a sudden BOOM rung out across the plains, causing the hatchlings to scatter and hide. "what the fuck was that? another weird ass meteor?" Benrey snorted.
Tommy grabbed him, dragging him along to where the noise was heard from, "We need to see if everyone is alright!! There could have fellow dragons and dragon trainers injured!!", As soon as they reached the crash-site, something wrong and toxic entered the magmip's nose, causing him to hiss and jump back a bit, what wasn't there was a meteor, but something huge, something orange and green with a toxic gas emitting from weird rocks on its back and wings that could easily wrap around him and benrey and claws sharper then a omega revive crystal and potentially DANGEROUS-
"tommy calm the fuck down, it could just be a weird alien from outer space or somethin, we'll take it into questioning to see if it wants to take away our brains and turn us into weird space goo or some shit" Benrey said, the skelltor unaware that it may have..awakened the fallen dragon, Tommy watched in pure horror as this..eyeless dragon rose up behind Benrey, its claws gripping the grass around it tightly as the glow of its markings reflected off of Benrey's bones and Tommy's body.
and then, it spoke, with venom dripping from its sentence alone.
"Mind repeating that, asshole?"
