I will be patient enough to write backstory, I can do this.  The egg in the story and the pic above is Sevenspeaker btw ( Tsunami_Holmes )

- Snakecharmers POV -

My egg hatches tonight! Atomsplitter is still in his lab...like always, but he's a good dragon, smart and a good fighter. He's probably coming up with a gift for the dragonet now!

Oh! There he is! "Atomsplitter! Our egg hatches tonight!" I say jubilantly, curling my tail affectionately around the egg.

"Ah, I...I need...I need a female Nighgwing test subject, preferably dead, you would do that for me wouldn't you? I can bring you back to life when we're done..." Atomsplitter swayed on his claws and his ribs showed through his scales, he had clearly deprived himself of food and water for days, maybe weeks to have more work time.

"A-Atom? What are you talking about? Our egg...it hatches tonight..." I was beginning to feel fear, what was he rambling on about? What's happening? His eyes are rolled back in his head, he may be crazy! It's not that I'm afraid of him killing me, I can outfight every Nightwing in the compound...no...not afraid of him killing me...I'm afraid of me having to kill him.

"Atom, calm down, your thirst and hungry, you've been working too much, you need a break, just tell me what's wrong and I'll help" I try to reason with him, I want to delay my claws on his throat as long as possible, everyone else sees him as strange, but through my eyes, he's wonderful, and I can't help loving him.

"I...am...so hungry...so thirsty..." Atomsplitter runs his dry tongue around his lips, imagining clear cold water, and fresh appetizing meat.

"I-I'll get you some, wait there Atom" I slowly get to my feet and walk over to a natural flowing spring in the hatchery, taking a stone bowl that I carved in my free time while watching the egg, I filled it with water and slowly walked over to Atomsplitter, careful not to spill it, I stop misstep when I hear what he's muttering to himself.

Female, check, strong, check, Nighgwing, check, smart, check, she's perfect, the perfect subject, Battlewinners prize possession, she must be perfect, but there's one thing I'm missing, she's not dead.

I dropped the bowl on the ground, it shattered and a piece embedded in my leg, I gasped but brushed off the pain.

Atomsplitter leapt at me, tearing at my scales, I froze I don't want to fight him bust I have to, if I want to survive that is.

I twist out of his grip, swirling around him like a snake and dragging my claws on his face, nearly missing his eye, sadness and anger filled my eyes "YOU DARE ATTACK ME WHEN I LOVED YOU" I roar unconsciously, twisting my head to grab his horn and score my claws down his back.

"I.. Can't let you go! Your the PERFECT SUBJECT" Attomsplitter roars furiously, whirling around with wild eyes and twisting out of my grip, ignoring the blood that soaked his scales.

I saw him, and my muscles locked, I couldn't move this is the dragon I've loved all my life, I plant kill him I realized that I was crying as he ripped out my throat "I-I love you to the ends of the seas and all the lands, always" I burbled out, I saw recognition reach his eyes before everything went black.

It's so peaceful in the black.
