inked_prophet | Life In Captivity

*The zoo was always a busy place, families and friends, even dates alike would go to a zoo to see all sorts of captive living wild animals to get the chance to see them for themselves. The zoo of wild hybrids was no different, some lived like their wild counterparts. All but one.*

*Lounging in a tree, scales glittering in the streams of light, was the zoo's main attraction. The first and only living dragon hybrid. Dragons were legends, many thought they never existed, until now.*

*A proud scientist created him, the man had been laughed at and called a fool, but he proved them wrong. This was the first time, and Jonghyun was the first, until recently. Another dragon had been made to be his mate, to see if it could be bred with the prized main attraction.*

*The counterpart was in quarantine for some time, but it was cleared to be introduced into the habitat. The current resident was waiting for dinner, his creator said he would be joining him for his meal and had a surprise to share with him.*

Let's go into the den, there is a deeper part that I want to show you.

*He said with a smile, it was an area that was completely private, save for a camera that was cleverly hidden so they could be observed. Jonghyun had lots of gifts and treasures he kept there, a habit of his dragon species that made him horde jewelry, trinkets, statues and gemstones.*

Lots of people leave things here for me, I've been collecting them. There is a girl that comes here to draw me a lot and she leaves pretty gems for me.

*He said with a smile, wanting to show his small but proud collection to his mate. Jonghyun didn't like anyone messing with it, so no one was allowed in that part of his den. He even kept track of everything in case someone tried to take anything.*

From:

suju_ari

Sounds good...

*Seungho slowly pulled out of Jonghyun when his knot deflated, taking Jonghyun into his arms as he carried his mate towards the den*

Tell me where to go

Show me this special place of yours

From:

*Jonghyun smiled and told Seungho the way. It was cooler in the den, but it was easy to heat up with their fire. The rocks were put in specially for that reason. Once he was placed down, he showed Seungho where he slept, blowing fire on the worn down rock to heat it up before he turned to where his collection was.*

It's not much, but people liked to give me coins from all over the world. Jaejin told me it was for good luck. I hope it did help them.

*He said as he pulled out a Chinese coin and places it into Seungho's hand.*

This was my first one, the girl that tossed it in was so sad looking, but someone she knew gave her the coin and she cupped it in her hands like this and closed her eyes before she tossed it into my waters.

*He said as he showed exactly what the girl did. Jonghyun smiled brightly as he continued the story.*

When I went after it, she was smiling bright, I really hoped that it does bring her luck.

*What he didn't know was that the girl had just lost her mother and that her father had brought her to the zoo to cheer her up.*

From:

suju_ari

This is quite a collection

*Seungho smiled as he looked around, adding his own fire to the stones to heat up the den more*

Do you want to have our eggs here, precious one?

*Seungho gently touched Jonghyun's scales, he wasn't really interested in the human things but how much it obviously meant to his mate*

From:

inked_prophet

Yes, it would be best to have them here. We need to collect some rocks to make the proper heat cradle for them to keep them heated. We will need something to start and keep the fire going.

*Jonghyun said as he took the coin and places it back in his collection. He looked around the den and tried to think of a place they could keep the eggs heated at. He moved over to a small alcove next to where he slept and smiled.*

Right here is where they can be heated. They will be close, so we will know when they hatch.

From:

suju_ari

Perfect... It will be easy for us to guard the eggs too

*Seungho nodded and held Jonghyun*

Now you should rest, you had an exciting day today

*Seungho rubbed Jonghyun's back as he pulled his mate down at their sleeping spot, his body keeping Jonghyun warm*

From:

inked_prophet

*Dinner had been given to them, which they shared together before laying down for the evening. Jonghyun was sleeping well all snuggled up to Seungho. It was the hot season, but they kept the den cold for them so they could heat it as they wished.*

*During the middle of the night, however, a phone call went out to Jaejin in urgency. They told the young biologist to come in to the zoo immediately.*

*A large cage with a tarp covering all sides was being unloaded into the zoo, the humans taking care to not disturb the sleeping creature inside. A man was waiting to brief Jaejin on the subject when the young man would arrive.*

From:

suju_ari

What is it?

*Jaejin came into the zoo, worried that it could be something wrong with Jonghyun or Seungho.

Jaejin looked at the large cage and ordered for the tarp to be removed. He looked at the beautiful dragon hybrid in front of him*

A wild dragon...

Jaejin moved closer and started to study the sleeping dragon, frowning at the collar around his neck*

I want that collar off him... Now!

From:

inked_prophet

Yes, sir. We have alerted the conservationists that we will be sending it back to them. Is there an open quarantine hold that we can place him in?

*The man asked as the person next to him tapped away at a tablet, requesting the informations of the conservationists findings and information recorded on the dragon.*

With your studies on dragon hybrids, we thought it best to bring him here to you. Once they heard you planned on breeding the two you have, the wanted to have him become impregnated before sending him back to help the population grow.

*Jaejin's assistant explained before dismissing the man with the tablet once they got the email about getting the information first thing in the morning.*

They said they found him in the Himalayas, it explains all of the jade jewelry on him. We just don't know how he acquired it or how he survived up there with nothing but his flesh and scales.

From:

suju_ari

*Jaejin looked at his team as they immediately got to work to get the new dragon into the holding area*

It would be impossible to send him back once he is impregnated... Dragons mate for life and the Alpha is extremely possessive

He would have survived because their body heat is so much higher than ours

*Jaejin explained to his assistant before observing the young hybrid*

This hybrid is a submissive... And he is seems to be quite young, I think he would be experiencing his first heat soon

Seungho should like this new dragon... I hope

From:

inked_prophet

Well, they hope to have the young released once they reach maturity and are kicked out of the nest They want to try and raise the numbers of dragons in the wild and hope to keep tabs on them to see if there are any more wild ones.

*The iridescent white scaled dragon stirred slightly, but didn't wake, much to their relief, as he was placed in the holding area. He was much taller than they had originally thought he would be, being a submissive.*

*The hybrid slept until the tranquilizer wore off, slowly coming out of the haze with a groan. He rubbed his eyes and looked around, unsure of his surroundings. He sat up quickly, but grabbed his head as the action caused him to become dizzy.*

*This strange place was nothing like the secluded mountain villages that he was used to when he needed to trade with humans. It did reek of humans as he sniffed around, and a faint scent of another dragon, but it was mostly gone by now.*

From:

suju_ari

We will have to see how that goes...

*Jaejin nodded at his assistant, waiting patiently for the dragon to wake as he got the team to prepare some food*

Hey... You are awake

Easy! The tranquilizer needs time to wear off

I got you some food and water, it will help you to feel better

From:

inked_prophet

*Jiho gave a defensive growl as he heard the voice. He looked over to the human, noting how small he was and decided that for now, he wasn't a threat. That still didn't make him trust the small human. His language was one Jiho was familiar with, having learned many because of his raising.*

Where am I?

*He demanded to know as he swishes his tail in agitation and as a defensive display. He would defend himself if needed and he was ready to fight.*

From:

suju_ari

You are in a zoo...

No one will hurt you here, I promise

Calm down...

*Jaejin slowly slid the tray into the holding area*

We just want to know more about you, we have two other dragons here that we would like to introduce to you as well

From:

inked_prophet

What... is a zoo?

*He asked in confusion as he looked at the tray before him. There were familiar foods there that he recognized, along with a few new things that he had never had before. He was used to cooking for himself now that his mother had left him on his own years ago.*

*His mother was still alive, along with his eldest brother. They would sometimes cross paths and have a meal together like old times before they went back to their own territories.*

Others? You caught more of us? What do you plan on doing to us?

From:

suju_ari

It is a place where we have various species here and we educate humans about the life around us

*Jaejin shook his head at the second question*

No... I created them, I just want to learn more about Dragons and teach humans to respect life

I promise that no harm will come to you!

From:

inked_prophet

Created? Like... you hatched them? You stole someone's eggs?

*He titled his head to the side curiously, not quite understanding the human. Humans didn't usually have the knowledge of how to hatch their kind. This human had to know something more than what usual humans did about his kind.*

Why do they need to know about us? It will bring bad times to our kind. We went into hiding centuries ago to keep safe from humans and their curious ways.

*Jiho picked up the chopsticks and examined the food, sniffing it to smell if there was any poison or bad things in the food. Once he was sure it was okay, he started to eat.*

From:

suju_ari

I didn't steal any eggs, I experimented and created them

*Jaejin huffed, a little upset at the thought of stealing eggs but smiled when Jiho started to eat*

It is because I want to stop unnecessary killings that why I am doing what I do

Is the food okay?

From:

inked_prophet

I still don't really understand... I just hope it helps, but I know there are bad humans, I'm no fool.

*He said as he kept eating. When Jaejin asked him about his food, he looked down and noticed that he had eaten most of it already.*

It's not bad, but it's nothing like my umma's food.

*He said as he went back to eating.*

How long will I be here for? When can I go home?

From:

suju_ari

Will you meet our dragons?

We have a Dominant and another submissive here

They just mated...

*Jaejin bit his lower lip before shaking his head*

I don't know... It isn't my decision to release you

From:

inked_prophet

*Jiho was silent for a moment, contemplating on weather or not he wanted to meet them. The dominant worried him, he didn't want a mate here. He wanted one like him, free and wild that could soar over their lands with him.*

I don't know. He's already mated and he could chase me off if he doesn't want me in his lands...

*Jiho said as he sat his chopsticks down over his empty bowl, pushing the empty tray away.*

I haven't been courted before, so I don't know if I really want to be tied to this dominant...

From:

suju_ari

Just try meeting him, I promise that you are safe

*Jaejin tried to persuade Jiho*

Our Dominant dragon is quite a softie, he takes care of his submissive very well

*Jaejin took the tray away and handed it off to his assistant*

What else do you need? I will provide as much as I can, as long as you are comfortable

From:

inked_prophet

I would like to go back home, but by the way you are speaking, I believe I won't get to go back.

*He said with a frown as he looked around for some of the things he had on him when he had been taken. He realized that they were missing and figured that they were going through them.*

Don't let them take my jade. I got that stuff myself and I had plans for it.

*He said with a frown as he crossed his arms in front of himself.*

From:

suju_ari

These?

*Jaejin got the bag of things that Jiho had with him, pushing it into the cage carefully*

I asked them to put everything at the bag

Can you tell me a bit more about yourself?

From:

inked_prophet

*Jiho took the items and looked through the bag, making sure everything was accounted for before he looked back up to Jaejin. He contemplated on the question before he closed the bag and coiled his tail around it protectively.*

No. I said too much already. I only said as much as I had because you seemed to be less of a threat than the others, but you give the orders around here. My trust is limited.

*He said before he moved to lay down on the bedding he had woken up on, turning to face his back to Jaejin.*
