Quote: strokes his back gently... Daddy is mad at me, dear one, not you.... and I didn't do this, Ame... Jor did.... not quite sure yet how I got saddled with him though... but Kyara could use a playmate.... Kero nuzzles his new Mama, still scared of the angry new Daddy. He didn't want anyone to be angry around him. It was scary scary. "M..Mama, why Daddy angry?" He asked her, speaking in dragon. Amestru had forgotten that all dragons speak Draconic, almost from day one.

**hmmm... before this thread gets too far along, we need to set up some parameters... Where on the timeline does it sit? before or after the reconstruction of Bez's world? because Ame may or may not be a very very old wolf if it is and that will affect how he responds... and how does Tes learn of it? by word of mouth or does Jor inform her of the fact... because by returning Kero to the egg, we've basically started his life over... period... not exactly rejuvenation, nor reincarnation.... he's got a fresh start... may or may not have his other lives with him on this one... we'll have to work that one out... basically if the mind is young enough, it loses connections with former memories for a time, perhaps forever... heck, he might even grow up not wanting to be a void mage, but I doubt it... it's in the blood so to speak... but right now, he should have lost all connection to it... and as far as Tes in concerned, her hubby is now an infant... a true dragon and will be one for an extremely long time... at least a thousand years or so... though a lot can happen before then, like he grows up and is told who and what he was or is... and I wonder how Em, Bez and Ai are going to take this.... "You did what to my brother? Good for you..." hmmm, timeline for dragons... 0-5 years as a wyrmling... interesting... get back to me on this, ok? Of course we could just rewrite history here...lol**
wyrmling... 0-5 years
very young.. 6-15 years
young... 16-25 years
juvenile... 26-50 yrs
young adult... 51-100 yrs
adult... 101-200 yrs
mature adult... 201-400
old... 401-600
very old... 601-800
ancient... 801-1000
wyrm... 1001-1200
great wyrm... 1201 and up
(I'd say right now, in the thread he's in Emnast is about 45 to 50 years old, give or take a few years... almost an adult in body a definite adult in mind, he was reincarnated into a teen body, remember? not quite a child, but defintiely young)

The wolf Kami sighs and walking over, joins Lyssan in stroking the tiny dragon's feathery ridges.
"I'm not angry, little one... just very concerned. I really wasn't expecting to see you... just yet."

Kero cocks his head at them, confused. Then he jumps out of Lyssan's arms and into Amestru's without so much as a please or thank you, hugging and nuzzling the old wolf, who is now his new daddy.

As Amestru loves children, he is quickly won over. Holding the dragon in the crook of his arm, he leads the way to the castle's nursery, calling out to Enia that they had company... all the while gently tickling and examining the tiny bundle in his arms.
"Someone's tummy is a grumbling, Lyssie... Better have Champhy send up a mess of... hmmm... let's see... mashed up scorpions might do it. Do we still have a store of those in stasis from our old friend's last visit in this state?"
The kitsune thinks for a bit then shrugs. "I'll look into it. If not, I can always send Keva on a scorpion hunting expedition... He loves getting out of the laundry..."

Kero's tummy is indeed grumbling, and the young dragon just as clearly does not enjoy being hungry. He is whimpering in Amestru's arms, clearly hamming it up, as he recognizes a protector when he sees one.

Thw wolf king chuckles wisely and shooes his mate off to find the wyrmlibng some appropriate nurishment. "And don't come back with a handful of gems.... at his age, they'll need to be powdered, though that topaz ring on my desk might do as a passable paqcifier." he calls after her as he enters the nursery with the dragon in his arms.
"Enia! Where's Kyara? We have a playmate for her. Look who's come to pay us a somewhat permanent visit." he laughs presenting the tiny bundle in his arms to the diminutive nurse.
Enia is in one of her going backwards stages and rather young right now herself, but it doesn't seem to affect her mind or mer memory.
"Kero!..." she chortles holding out her arms in invitation. "Let me get a look at you."

Cocking his head at her, curiously, Kero stays with Amestru. Rule number one is flashing in his head. Don't go to strangers. Don't go to strangers. Although projected more in feelings than in words, the effect is the same. He doesn't know this strange female, and he isn't going with her. Not yet.
"Who yoo?!" He chirps in draconic, putting a bit of what he thinks is a threatening growl into his voice. It comes out, though, as a rather halfhearted purr, much to his chagrin, and he turns his head, shy now, into Amestru's chest, knowing his Daddy will take care of him.

Enia chuckles softly and lets her hands fall to her side, allowing AMestru to handle a better introduction.
The kami smiles and strokes Kero's back. "Enia is the castle nurse, little one. She plays with the keep's children and keeps them safe while their parents work. We only have one other child here right now. Would you like to meet her?"
Enia leads them into the sunlit room with a finger at her lips. "Kya is sleeping right now. She was so busy this morning, learning how to fly and all."
Puzzled Kero looks around for another flyer, like him, something overly large, though still quite small, but all he see is a small nest perched in a pretend tree near the window.
Amestru holds him up to the nest to peek and he sees the prettiest sight he has ever seen. It's a dragon, alright, but one so tiny and perfect, with jeweled wings and feet so small he can't see her claws.

Kero is entranced by the vision of loveliness before him, and gently reaches out to touch her.
"She so pwetty. She wook wike a joow."

Amestru chuckles, while he carefully watches over the young wyrmlings actions. "That she is... she's a fairy dragon. Do you know what they are?" he asks, giving Kero a hug and carrying him over to a sunny spot on the floor, where there is an assortment of toys lying about. He sees a small toy cat, not exactly identical to Kero's favorite stuffie, but close. Smiling to hiself, he sits the dragon down near it and watches to see what he does.

Kero gently crawls over to it, and stalks it, beginning to play with his prey...is his it prey on his play(thing)?

Amestru watches him play with a smile. Looking back at Enia he sighs. "I've had the gardening staff go over Lyssie's garden with a fine tooth comb, Eni... and still no sign of Kyara's parents. It was really odd to find a fairy dragon egg lying in the middle of the path though... maybe it was brought there by some enterprising crow or the likes, who thought it sparkles were neat to look at."

A screech from Kero draws their attention. He is extremely hungry now, and really, really, REALLY wants something to eat. And he is not taking no for an answer either.

Lyssan comes running into the room, carrying a large bowl of some disgusting looking dubious content, but Kero doesn't seem to mind. He takes one sniff of it and buries his face into the mash, scarfing it up with a relish.
"Ewwww...." comes a surprised hiss as the tiny fairy dragon, peeks over the edge of her nest. "How ken you eats dat stuff...."
Lyssan laughs and shakes her head. "That is what I'd like to know... powdererd scorpion, sweetened with topaz flakes doesn't seem like it would be top on my list either, but he likes it, sweetling. Truth is, I doubt he'd like to eat pollen like you do right now."
"I no eats powwen... I eats fowlers...." indignantly pipes the tiny dragon in reply.
""Flowers, Kya... the word is flowers..." sighs Enia with a shake of her head. "I'm not so sure there is such a thing as a fowler..."
