Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Pet Dragon ❯ Prologue ( Prologue )

Prologue

 

Wufei growled lowly in the back his throat as he stalked his family's hunting grounds. Above him he could see his mother, Rubashia, Queen of Dragons, soaring above him in all her glistening splendor. Golden bands shone on her tail and jewels studded her belly. He roared loudly and smirked at her prompt answer. He moved on quickly as his sharp ears picked up movement in the bushes and he darted towards the sound. He soon found the source as a small dear, not even a year old yet. Without a second thought, he pounced on the creatures back and sank grown fangs into the back of the neck. Over the years, despite being human, Wufei had adapted to his life in a royal draconic family. He was Prince Wufei to all those in the lands below their mountains and all those on the mountains. Even the mighty mountain cats and wolves bowed to him.

 

As his prey collapsed heavily beneath him, he growled and rose from the small body to watch blood seep from the bite wounds. He licked his fangs almost lovingly, savoring the taste of sweet and salty blood. He roared his message of his successful hunt and, slinging the killed deer over his shoulder, shimmied up a tall tree nearby. A moment later, he leapt off the highest branch and grabbed an extended claw.

 

“A wonderful hunt my son, you get better and better every time you go out.”

 

“Thank you mother, but I could never have gotten his far without you, father, and my friends.” Wufei grinned and his mother merely nodded softly, her deep red scales glistening brilliantly in the sunlight. Wufei was just a teenager, 16 years old, and his `siblings' were all about the same age and simply huge, fully-grown and as big as Rubashia or her mate, and Wufei's father, Torantit.

 

“Your friends are waiting for you at the cave.” Wufei looked towards their cavern and, even from that distance, could see his friends prowling around the front entrance with Wufei's siblings circling above them.

 

“Get away from them guys!” Wufei watched his brothers and sister turn their heads to glance in his direction, but they kept circling. Rubashia shook her head softly and soon landed, Wufei leaping off her front talons nimbly, still carrying his catch. “Hey Heero. Hey Trowa.” Wufei's fellow Princes' and friends nodded their greeting and smiled slightly. “I gotta eat before we go out and wander. I won't take long.”

 

“Right.” Heero muttered and Wufei quickly ushered his friends into the huge, echoing cavern that was the entrance hall of his home.

 

“Sit in here and I'll go eat and talk to my siblings. I don't know why they still see you as food.” Wufei shook his head and went back out on the ledge, snorting softly and motioning his siblings down. He had many siblings, and they all fit on the ledge (fascinating, huh?). 12 brothers and a single sister, all of them about 50 feet long. “Dracus! How many times have I told you my friends aren't food damn it!”

 

“Hey, sorry Wu.” Dracus' voice was rich and thick, a noble voice for a noble (albeit jerk of a) dragon. “They look real tasty though, all muscle and no fat, like you.”

 

“Shut it Dracus! Leave my friends alone, because I know you make the others circle with you! Now stop it!” Heero and Trowa listened to the typical bickering between the two eldest siblings with grim frowns…
