>>5866833>North. You desire wide-open areas, where you can bury yourself and hunt. Though your expertise in ambushing doesn't extend to the creatures that swim in the waterway, they'll be an enjoyable treat. You don't want to sit in one place all your life too, and going Northwards into the wetter portions of the swamp seems like a good way to avoid competition from your acquaintances.
You trust your brother enough to respond.
"I'll head upwards, where the rivers run swift."
"I see. Then I will know where to go, to see you again."
"But not to live alongside me, I hope."
He blinks slowly, and you sense assent. The three of you watch the rain cascade down, and you imagine your future up in the estuaries.

A few more nights pass. Crimson flowers have grown on your body, and they're a sign of maturity. Once Mother feels the whim, she will kick you from your home, like you did to your older brother. From there, you'll have to make it out into the world.
You sit within a pit after one of your final lessons, where she's taught you how to direct water away from your tunnel network. A curious thought re-enters your mind, and you finally indulge in it today.
"Mother?"
Yes, daughter?
"What did our ancestors call themselves?"
You receive flashes. Sounds, smells, impressions, bits of personality that they defined themselves by. Sometimes, they took names in the tongues of the two-legs. Other times, their names were lengthy poems, crafted from deeds that they've accomplished. Others were features that they took pride in: Bright-scales, Burning-eyes, Bloody-Thorns. You sense approval from her, that you're thinking of such a thing for yourself. Your identiy as a dragon has always been fairly strong, and now, you want a name to solidify who you are.
"Then... What are you and Father named?"
She tells you. It's a name that tells a story, of battles she fought in youth, and of prey that she's claimed. It's almost a saga of its own, and you understand your mother just a bit more from merely hearing it. Then she speaks Father's. It's much shorter, comprising words and deeds granted to him by allies.
You want a name as well. Something that reflects your own personality, to mark you as a Dragon worthy of carving out a place of her own in the world.
>Come up with a name. You have to decide what to define yourself as. Some feature of yours, that you'd like to draw attention to? Your deeds in protecting your siblings from your brother? Something reflective of your own personality, even if it's a word or phrase or sound that strikes you out of nowhere. (Write-In)>Ask Mother to name you.>Ask Father to name you.
