At first there was darkness. Their was no sound no light no anything. This state could have lasted for an hour, a day or a year time had no meaning in this invinate void of nothingness. At least until it moved.
Suddenly it realised that the darkness wasn't endless it was simple being contained by the darkness. Stretching out it discovered the boundaries of its prison. "How can something try to imprison me?" It wondered. It didn't quite know what it was but it knew that it shouldn't be contained by anything.
So it struck out, limbs it didn't quite know how to control flailed out striking at the prison that dared to contain it. Soon enough a crack is formed in the prison of darkness, leaping at this change it further attacks this weakness. Soon one crack turns into two, then three and soon four. Until finally a section of its prison breaks away allowing for a dim light to enter into its prison and allow it to lay eyes on the world outside its prison for the first time. It couldn't make anything out at all, undeterred by this it continues to attack the hole slowly widening it and managing to expand it enough that the top half of its prison breaks away!
Now that it has finally escaped from its prison it look around and tries to make sense of its surroundings. Still unable to see very well all it can make out is that it's prison was laying on a rock of some kind. Accepting this it manages to crawl its way out of the prison and land upon the rock its 4 legs not quite strong or coordinated enough to stand easily just yet.
But before anything else it feels… hungry? Yes that is the word and it knows that it should eat its prison, why does it know this one may wonder? Well it doesn't know or care it just knows it's hungry and it's prison is food.
Making its way over to the broken prison it briefly noted that it was coloured in a mix of pinks and blues, but netherthess it began to take bites out of it and munched away. As it does this information begins to slowly enter its mind, knowlage of what it is and what it needs to do to survive. For example it now knows that it is a dragon, a baby dragon to be specific. It also knows that it is a she, she doesn't quite know why this difference is important but knows that it is important. But the biggest bit of information that it learns is how to get stronger and how to survive.
It can survive by eating and drinking and it can get stronger by killing creatures and consuming items of strong magic. She doesn't quite know what that means exactly but figures she will figure that part out at some point.
Soon enough she has fully consumed her prison, no not her prison her egg. She is happy at this as it feels like a great achievement and she wiggles in joy. But this manages to tire out the infant dragon so she decides to settle down and curls herself up into a ball to go to sleep.

Tens of thousands of kilometres away in the Capital of the Kingdom of Eldor within the Church of the Dragon Servant a man kneels before an alter made of dragon bones. This man is known as the Seer and is one of the most powerful member of the Church. And at this moment he is blessed with a vision.
This is not exactly a rare event for a man with a class such as his, however whilst usually a gentle light will shine upon him to signify his vision today that isn't the case. A beam of light so powerful that it obliterates the roof of the grand Church sines down upon him, its multicoloured beams encompass him fully and obliterate anything and everything else in its wake.
The magnitude of this vision is such that the entire capital city freezes to withness this once in a millennium event that is often heralded as a signal of a new era beginning. This event went on for an entire hour during which time every person with even the smallest amount of power and influence gathered in front of the now ruined Church to await for the reveal of the momentous vision that was underway. Everyone from the meagerest of merchants to the King himself atop his trusty dragon mount wait in silence.
Eventually the light recedes and the not long after the Seer staggered out of the Church looking ragged but with a wild glint in his eyes. He stops at the top of the stairs and overlooks the crowd of people arrayed before him. He stands there for a moment farther himself to announce his vision.
"People of Eldor!" He bellows in a voice that shushes the whispers that had started upon his arrival. "A new Era may soon be upon us! Far to the West within the Endless Forrest a new creature has been born." He take a breath as he looks around his eyes momentarily glancing at the king on his tamed dragon a near imperceptible snear curls his lips.
"A True Wild Dragon has been born, not one of the neutered Dragons we know of with no intelligence or instincts but a true king of beasts has been born."
A ripple passed over the gathered crowd with a frown appearing on the King and other people at the top of this Kingdom.
"The age of Monsters has arrived and a new wave of intelligent Beasts are soon to rise. Fear the creature that will rise to the top for it is reaches our lands all we have build shall be lost!"
After saying his piece the Seer has a look of relief and he once more glances at the King this time his look of derision is unmistakable and he laughs as the life leave his body and he collapses dead at the entrance of the once grand Church.
———
Meanwhile our little dragon is completely unaware of the world shaking ramifications that her birth may have. After all she was just a newly born dragon. However, something that did concern her was a ethereal screen appearing before her very eyes.

Well that's a lot of numbers the dragon thought, I wonder what this Champion Beast Protocall is. After thinking on for approximately 3 seconds she dismissed it as unimportant, why? Because she was starting to get hungry again! Priorities are inportant after all.
So in her finite wisdom she slowly got to her feet, happy that she felt more under control of her own limbs after that little nap and looked at her surroundings. She was in a cave of some sorts, a very big cave by the looks of things as she could barely make out the roof of the cave, she did spot a small pong of water and deciding that she could do with a drink made her way over to it.
Looking down at the water she finally got her first look at what she looked like. Pale gray scales covered her body, she knew that this would change as she grew and focused on her speciality. She has small wings settled on her back and a tail that matches her small body in length. Hey eyes have a slit pupil and her iris is coloured a deep violet. Satisfied with her definitely not cute and totally majestic appearance she took a deep drink of the water and then looked out towards the cave entrance.
Making her way over to it she could get her first look at the world beyond something unexpected happened. Before she could get to the entrance something else walked in.
It was a peculiar creature. Around the same size as herself, so maybe about 1 foot in length and half that in height discounting tails. It had 6 limbs with the front 2 located on its shoulders and seemed to be for attacking whilst its smushed face and fur made it impossible to see any details of its face.
They both paused when they saw each other before the little dragons belly rumbled and a small line of drool escaped her jaw as she only thought a single thing. "That looks delicious." So before the odd 6 limbed creature could do anything she charged forward and lashed her head forward with the intention of biting it. The creature managed to react but reacted ooorly as it moved one of its weird extra limbs in the way. This didn't matter too much to the dragon as her razor sharp teeth ripped through the limb with ease.
The now 5 limbed creature let out a squeal of pain and tried to leap back but I didn't allow than and Dover forward once more managing to rake my claws down its sides. Manoeuvring myself to be on its back I ripped into its sides with my claws and bit down again quickly putting an end to my first hunt.
