Dragoncrest Cliffs Hematite

I'll probably edit this a thousand times to get it right, but here's a quick one for now.   xD

One moment, the world was still. Quiet. Peaceful. In the next, his entire being was forced from the familiarity of the womb and into an unknown tunnel that, ultimately, pushed him writhing into the world.

He entered it unwillingly, his tiny body wriggling in a desperate bid to escape what was sure to be a cruel fate as he was roughly freed from the amniotic sac that encased him and allowed him to breathe for the first time. With air in his lungs, the ashen newborn found the strength to part his little jaws and openly, loudly wail his outrage at having been taken from the comfort of his home and dropped, entirely vulnerable, in a place he did not know.

It was only with his mother's gentle touch and the familiar hum of a voice he knew from within, that he was willed to settle. His cries softened to little mewls and the fear melted away as he was guided toward a new source of ease. Nestled between the warm shapes of his litter-mates, the one that was to be called Dacio latched onto an offered teat and suckled greedily, tiny paws working against his dam's undersides to better release her milk into his hungry maw.
