As ruko woke the sun blasting his scales he was going through it nearly a week had passed his scales and the carapace on his back hardened now normally that wouldn't be a problem but it was for him sliver rathalos have the thickest carapace of all rathious species not only because of the silver compounds but because how thick it is they are the ultimate aerial predators.
But due to him being young and not learning how to fly yet this carapace was useless and best his claws were getting used to ground movement his fire sac was now developed enough his mother started feeding him ember mushrooms and blazing toadstools and even fireblight toad he swallowed them whole as always.
As for his talons and tail spikes they were working he produced what researchers would call a potent paralysis it activates instantaneously in the more you try to move the longer the effect as for his poison would be considered lethal suddenly suki dropped a bulldrome corpse in the nest as ruko came running over to feast his mother went to the stash and pulled on a mosswine and swallowed it whole.
She then suddenly left to do territory patrol ruko continued to eat the bulldrome feasting heavily little did he know that danger was just around the corner as a group of velocidrome were using their claws to scale rocks as they landed on the Moss with a soft thud they seen it the hatchling silver rathalos they thought it would be a good meal as their alpha suddenly appeared.
As they crouched it down getting ready for the parents one of them stepped on a thin bone causing it to snap suddenly ruko stopped eating lifted his head up but remained to turn around as he slowly opened his mouth fire started to gather up as he spun around lightning fast unleashing a wave of flames Although short they burned the unsuspecting velocidromes as one of the few remaining members.
wanted to get revenge they were suddenly slapped away with ruko tail the tail Spike managed to barely pierce the scales injecting the velocidrome with lethal poison causing it to die within a minute as another came running ruko slapped his wings gaining aerial superiority for a good minute and a half as he slashed the velocidross the face with his talons causing the paralysis to sink into the skin paralyzing it all the way as the alpha was the last one remaining.
It charged towards him ruko closed his mouth focused as flames slowly leaked out from the sides of his mouth he opened his mouth really fast unleashing a miniature fireball that slammed into the alpha velocidromes chest soon get flying off the side of the nest crashing through hundreds of tree branches breaking his spine then it's neck and then landing in front of the fulgar anjanath pups majority of them were regular anjanath the fulgar anjanath had mated it with a regular one she had six hatchlings only two of them were fulgar.
All six pups suddenly looked at the new prey it started feasting upon it ruko and unintentionally just fed the competition And when the fulgar anjanath returned she was hella confused as her children just had a full velocitrome to themselves at least and now she could eat her catch to herself to give her enough strength to go hunting again as for Suki she returned and saw the massacre and couldn't help but be the proudest parent ever.
She decided to start training a little early she pushed him off the edge of the nest forcing him to fly and honestly it was quite easy for him feeling the wind on his wings all he had to do was flap occasionally as they made it down to a secluded part of the forest Suki wanted to demonstrate what she wanted her son to do as she opened her mouth she unleashed a regular but extremely devastating fireball.
That exploded and wiped out the nearby trees in that direction she looked back at Ruko expecting him to do the same he had his mouth closed as he was channeling all of his flames to the front of his mouth as he flung his head forward a bullet-sized fireball slammed into a tree scorching it and causing it to catch fire but it wasn't completely obliterated ruko looked back and saw his mother making bellows it was like chuckling.
Ruko:'oh I promise I'll come back here one day and I'll obliterate all these trees' then they moved on to the next spot Suki was forcing him to fly on his own so he could get used to having to fly longer distances only took was for an elder dragon to roll through to their home and they would have to migrate as they made it to velocidrome crater Suki need a slashing motion with her claws signaling for ruko to slash the velocidrome and inflict poison but he wasn't like regular rathalos he had paralysis in his talons but nonetheless he was going to do it.
Does he stalked through the bushes a lone velocidrome was minding their own business when suddenly a silver rathalos chick out of nowhere hop from the bushes and slashed it across its stomach as the velosterone made a roar it suddenly felt sleepy as it was paralyzed as it looked into the eyes of its attacker its neck was suddenly grabbed violently and thrashed around before being thrown into the trees landing on a sleeping nargacuga.
Suddenly when another velocidrome appeared he swung his tail causing one of the spikes to inject the other velocidrome with poison killing it immediately as the mother son Duo went to the next area this would be the final test they went beyond their cliffside nest all the way to the top past the clouds and above there was a giantic tree the size of the tree from monster Hunter world slowly but surely growing through the cliffside.
Ruko confused on what they were doing up here until he was suddenly shoved off with immense Force as he plummeted down passing his nest he was scared but he had to remember the feeling he had he breathed out as his deep blue eyes snapped open he opened his wings causing the air to catch him like a parachute sending him soaring upwards instead of crashing down he then flapped his wings and continued to do so he then stopped for a short amount of time letting the wind carry him before picking up his flapping again.
She decided to play the little daring as he closed his wings in he started plummeting as he opened his wings again it was like a parachute he shot higher into the air Suki eventually got anxiety from watching her child parachute constantly and brought him back to the nest they're training was over as soon as he turns 3 years old she will start him on hunting training when she is ready she will let him go Into the big scary world to have a hatchling or 5 of his own.
