《The Dragon’s Kin》The Dragon island
Advertisement
"Tamariesha!!" my mother screamed in excitement while almost colliding with me.
I do love her, but this is really embarrasing! Before I knew it, I was blushing a little.
Closing my eyes, I nearly forgot that we were in the air.
'It's really peaceful out here...well, with the exception of my mother...' smelling the fresh air, hearing the peaceful wind blowing, all I wanted to do is explore this place.
Slowly opening my eyes, I saw my mother looking at me with her gentle expression.
"I knew you would love it, it's in our blood after all." she said.
This is the day, when my dragon-self truly started to live. My thoughts were cut short, again...
"We should get going, we don't want to be late." mother empatized.
Late? As I started to ponder about it, she flew towards the east where only the vast ocean was located. I felt like we are going on a school field trip. My mother would've been the teacher and I the curious child.
As I looked at the glittering surface of the ocean, here and there I could see small monsters being chased by bigger ones. Even a giant octopus! In the corner of my eye I even saw humanoid creatures swimming with seal like monsters. They were really cute!
Despite my amusement, after several hours of flying I got really tired.
I tried to ask 'Are we there yet?' but all that could be heard was "Ar~e~ev~et?".
Yeah, I need to put more work towards my pronunciations.
She probably understood my intentions and replied with "Just a little bit further and we will be there". She does smile a lot despite being a dragon...
All I have to do is endure. It's not that that easy okay!? I'm still a baby dragon.

In the far distance, I could see really small silhouettes flying trough the sky...As we flew closer and closer, they became bigger and bigger. At last, I could see that they are dragons. Big ones at that. They saw us approaching and turned towards us.
"Don't worry, they are friends" mother slowed her flight to match mine and we flew next to each other towards the two dragons. The bigger one had shiny red scales, while the other one had them light blue.
A little startled with my mother appearance as she came into their full view, the two dragons approached us while one of them muttered 'The silver scales, that can only be her' in low voice. I guess my mother is famous dragon noble?
"Lady Aliciance!" the red dragon said loudly.
"Where have you been for the past 50 years! Your father was sick worried!" he betrayed my expectations.
"I'm already 673 and he's still trying to restain me on this island?" she snorted.
"But you are the heir! You can't just leave!" the red dragon was defending my grandfather. My mother is kind of tomboy I guess...
"Anyway, we should go and see your grandfather" my mother said to me. But why are you having that villainess smile again?
"G-grandfather? B-but that would mean..." finally noticing my pressence, both of the dragons looked at each other with their eyes wide open.
"Yes, this is my daughter Tamariesha" my mother confirmed it. All I could say was "Ai~!".
"Go tell to the head of the Silverscale family that there's an urgent matter!" said the red dragon towards his colleague.
"Lady Aliciance and Lady Tamariesha, can I ask you to follow me?" as he said with a forced smile. Behind him, something huge appeared.
What came into my view was a beautiful island.

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.
