Chapter 7

I open my eyes for the first time and am blinded by the bright light of the sun. I blink a couple of times before looking around. I spot a moon white dragon, I can tell that she is my mother despite the fact that my scales are pitch black and as dark as the night. The moon white stripe that starts at the tip my nose ends at the tip of my tail. I have a silver teardrop by both my eyes and the soft membrane between my wing bones looks like the starry night sky.

I make a little chirping sound and stare up at my mother with pitch black eyes with a hint of blood red. My mother looks back at me with her pearl white eyes. "Welcome to the world my little dragonet." The moon white dragon says. "I am Nyx and I'm your mother." she adds.

I roar-squeak and climb onto her back. I then chirp into her ears before unfurling my wings. I flap them once, and then twice.

Nyx laughs a throaty dragon laugh and then grabs me with her tail, "Get down from there, my little dragonet." She scolds, smiling.

I spit a tiny ball of fire at her face and giggle cutely. I flap my wings again but then I sense another presence. I see a black dragon that looks identical to me just much bigger without the white stripe and silver teardrops. I immediately recognized that this dragon is my father.

"You're just like your father, a troublemaker." Nyx says, shaking her head making her moon earrings and moon necklace jingle against her scales.

"Isn't that what you love most about me?" my father asks Nyx with a sly grin.

She laughs, "Of course, but still, having a troublemaking dragonet is going to be hard to take care of." Nyx says, setting me down and brushing her wings against my father's.

My father looks at me and says, "Hello my precious, little black jewel, I am Satan and I'm your father."

I chirp and spin in a circle before jumping onto Satan's black scaly tail. I giggle as I play with his tail and just as I'm about to bite it he picks me up with his talons. I roar in Satan's face but it doesn't seem to faze him.

"You little scoundrel. You'll have to stay with your mother until you are old enough to live with me." Satan says before setting me back down and walking away.

That night I slept next to Nyx's warm yet cool body, I fell into the dark pits of sleep.

Years go by and I am finally able to live with Satan, I am currently able to shift so I look like a human but with black scales. I wander around Hell, exploring the wonderful sights hidden within the fires. Just then, as I was wandering, a huge black hellhound with blue flames ran over to me.

"Hey there, good girl. Who's a good dog?" I ask the hellhound, smiling. I pet her and that's when I come up with a name. "I'm gonna call you Vivulous!" I say. Vivulous wags her tail and follows me home.

Satan welcomes me home with open arms. "My black jewel! Welcome back home." He says in that silky velvety voice of his. I hug him and smile.

"Hey dad, how're you?" I ask, hoping he doesn't notice Vivulous who is sitting next to me quietly.

"I'm good, and who's this cute little hellhound?" Satan asks, petting Vivulous.

Even more years pass and I leave Hell. I explore the planet with curiosity, it takes me years and I eventually die of old age. The flashback ends.
