A Slow Start

Chapter 1

The sun arose, blinding lights punching their way through the dark sky. I yawned, opening my eyes. The sun’s glow was fighting against the darkness. I knew the sun would win, it always did, but a part of me worried one day, it wouldn’t. One day, everything will be dark, nothing there, no oxygen, food, water. But that wasn’t going to happen. Right?

I slithered over to a close berry bush and ripped one off. I chewed it, thinking thoughts I never knew existed. I turned around, getting ready to have a nice drink of cooling river water, but that’s when I heard the deafening shriek of a raptor. I hurried under a bush and buried my face in my wings. The raptors always came for me, no creature knew what I was, even I didn’t. My parents left me at birth and I learned how to eat and drink by observing the creatures around me. I saw their feathered tails swaying from side to side, i gulp, scared.

“Hey, I wonder where that little berry snapper went. You know, the one with two wings and a sickening green colour.” The raptor spoke to a hidden creature, I assumed another raptor. I was waiting for a response from them, but all I heard was footsteps.

“Found ya” The raptor yanked me out from under the bush and stared at me with his gleaming eyes. I roared, unleashing a new skill I never knew I had. A green stream of what I think is poison? Trailed out of my mouth and landed on the raptor’s scales. It sizzled the skin and he dropped me. I quickly ran away, scared for my life.
