no thoughts. just kelp. name suggested by an irl friendo :3 bro declared it was his name and I obliged lol some yummy lore… kelp paced a small crate. the enclosure reeked of fear and sweat, and he hated every second of it. if he had just stayed quiet, not taken the test, not applied… he would have never gotten here. why was he so dumb? he should of never given himself away. his sides ached with vigor, groaning about all of the practice, repetition the queen ordered him. he had never minded auklet - she was better than coral. she knew all of her closest subjects by name, and was always eager to learn the ones of commoners. his aunt was always kind and generous, but saw dragons like him as dangerous weapons, not as comrades or even tools. coral taught auklet how terribly wonderful his power could be, but auklet had never seen the ‘wonderful’ part. she was scared to death of her nephew, no matter how his parents or kelp tried to reassure her. all of that had led up to kelp being trapped here, the queen sending him away inhumanly to meet ‘others of his kind’. he shivered at the thought as he stopped pacing and dropped his limp body to the ground. the box tried to be assuring, creaking slightly to lighten his weight, but he just glared at it. it kept him tucked away from his father - the only dragon who really understood. he missed him so much, and he couldn’t wait to get out of this mess and see his papa again. happy belated Father’s Day y’all :D feel free to theorize in the comments - I would love to hear what you think about this goob! stay silly, raven <3
