Dragons: Dragon Realm

This was a vast cave, with bell-shaped stones of varying lengths hanging naturally from the ceiling. Suddenly, accompanied by a tremor, a slender bell-shaped stone snapped and fell downwards, finally landing on a strangely shaped, oval egg, about a meter tall. With a series of cracking sounds, the slender bell-shaped stone shattered into several pieces. Clearly, this egg was quite sturdy! Beside it, neatly arranged were various kinds of eggs, different in type but roughly the same size. They were neatly piled on a cone-shaped stone mound. At this moment, another tremor came, and not far away, at a corner of the cave, a colossal creature suddenly appeared. A hundred meters tall, its body was exceptionally magnificent, covered entirely in dark red, diamond-shaped scales. Its two powerful hind legs caused the entire cave to tremble with each step, and its long tail trailed behind, casually swaying, crushing any stones in its path. A pair of powerful arms, hanging naturally at its sides, seemed to contain boundless strength. Sharp claws, as sharp as knives, and wings on its back were covered with fine red scales. Above its short neck was a head similarly covered in red scales. Its protruding cheeks revealed a massive array of sharp teeth, and its breath was so hot it distorted the surrounding air. Above its head were a pair of backward-curving, spiraling horns, and below that, a pair of gleaming golden pupils, flashing with intelligence! This colossal creature entered the cave and headed straight for the place where the eggs were placed. "Hmm…I wonder if any of the little ones are eager to come out and see this world!" Muttering softly, the colossal creature stopped beside the pile of stones. Although it was said to be whispering, the sound was surprisingly loud, even causing the bell stone above to shake. Strangely, its voice was completely different from its terrifying and ferocious appearance; it was even inexplicably pleasant. Looking at the eggs below, which were about the size of pebbles to it, the enormous creature lowered its head and brought its golden pupils close. Although its face couldn't display any expression other than ferocity, it gave off a gentle and earnest feeling. "Wow! By the Creator Dragon, there are five little ones this time!" As it spoke, the scorching breath it exhaled landed on the eggs on the pile of stones. The breath, which could even distort the surrounding air, was like a gentle breeze to these eggs, having no effect whatsoever. After carefully observing them, it took the five eggs it had just selected from the pile of stones and placed them on the ground. Then it climbed down, looking at them expectantly. ..."Hmm...Where am I?" Opening its eyes, it found itself in complete darkness, its golden vertical pupils filled with confusion. So narrow! "Liao Zi," the word surged into his mind. So, he must be enveloped somewhere right now. Suddenly, his pupils dilated, and then a flood of memories rushed into his mind. Looking at these strange and novel memories, a multitude of questions welled up in his mind. "What are those things that can move?" "They are humans!" "Are the four-stripe ones too?" "No! Those are dogs!" "And what are those square, running things?" "Those are cars!" "And what are those square, non-running things?" "Buildings!" ...Questions flooded his mind, and a divine voice answered them for him. Gradually, a world full of novelty and danger emerged in his mind. It was a world controlled by a being called humanity, containing all sorts of other beings, and all those things created by humanity. So… “Is that the outside world?” Will I live in such a world after I go out?” “No, that was my world. Your world, you have to see for yourself!” “Who are you?” “Me? I am your father!” “Where are you? Why can’t I see you?” “I am in the starry sky. If you want to see me, you have to do it yourself!” “The starry sky? What is that place?” “Stand on the earth, look up, and what you see is the starry sky!” “Why are you there?” “We come from the starry sky. The starry sky is our dream, our wilderness, our future, and our home. We are the dragons of the starry sky. The starry sky represents freedom, so we are born free! Remember your name, Fabre Witte! Remember… I’m waiting for you in the starry sky!” “The starry sky… freedom…” Witte repeated these two words softly, his golden vertical pupils gleaming with the light of dreams! Suddenly, a faint cracking sound reached his ears! "...Du Ao!" With a childlike roar, a tiny, golden life entered the world! Then...it turned and began gnawing on its eggshell! Beside it, a little creature with red crystals covering its head watched this scene, swallowing hard, and then tentatively approached the golden one. However, a sudden gust of wind overturned the little creature with red crystals! Then, a deafening voice rang out. "No! Billy! That's not yours!" The little dragon with red crystals, Billy, reluctantly withdrew his gaze upon hearing this. He noticed that the golden dragon's eyes held a hint of hostility. Seeing the other's powerful form, Billy wisely took a few steps back. According to his inherited memories, this golden creature, called the Golden Dragon, was a dragon whose brain was filled with... What a pity, of the four that emerged, why wasn't there a single one of their kind! Thinking this, he glanced at the other two who had heard the silence and looked this way, then turned his gaze to the last companion. It was a fellow creature that had emerged! However, when he looked at the shimmering silver eggshell, he sighed helplessly. If the inherited memories were correct, the creature inside the egg was more closely related to the golden one beside it. Suddenly, a cracking sound rang out. Five eyes instantly focused on the only unbroken eggshell on the field. However, to these expectant eyes, the eggshell did crack, but the silver dragon that emerged glanced at them and then began to eat on its own. It showed no intention of daring to meddle with them. Seeing this, Winters's originally kind eyes instantly changed. "A dragon!"
