Dragons like caves, dragons like to sleep, dragons take some time until they are resistant enough to … say, not die when a stalactite falls on their Head.
“What is this ? Why does my head hurt so much ? Did I fall from my bed and hit my head on the ground ? … why is it so heavy ? … im i suffocating ?”
*With a grunt of effort, the young dragon moved his head out of the big piece of rock that had fallen onto it*
“I'm in a … Cave ?” -Growl?- “What ?” -Rwaa?- “The Hell ?” -Ro Rwaal-
*With a Startle, the young dragon pushes himself to his hind legs, unsteadily tries to take a step back and ends up falling backwards on his tail*
“What the …”
-Raw rwa ?-
“I'm not biped anymore ? … what am I? Where am I … Who am I ?”
*The young dragon closed his eyes and tried to remember, his head was still tender from a falling rock and pain pulsed between each heart beat while he tried to think*
“In … Out … In …”
“The sensation of suffocation abating with each moment, like he could breath better and deeper then ever and his mind didn't know what to do with so much ‘Air’ intake*
“This is not working, I can't remember, my head hurts … I should probably go back to sleep … what ? Sleep? The fuck ? I need to figure out what's happening, why the hell am I thinking of Sleeping ? You don't sleep off a fucking concussion i could have brain damage … I need to be aware and awake so I know if it gets worse and … and what ? There ain't no doctors here, how would I treat myself ?”

*The harder he tried to think, the harder the pain became, but a bit of panic helps to push common sense to the side in desperate times*
“Rest is the best medicine right now, if my brain got all that much damaged i would not have woken up, but I still could have a cranial fracture or subdural hemorrhage ... that could be the cause of my headache”
*The pain got harder and harder, and his thoughts more frantic of the solutions*
“The bone cracks would reform naturally, minerals in the bloodstream deposited by osteoblasts and osteoclasts working overtime to break away surrounding bone matter and fill in the cracks with some extra reinforcement”
*A itchy feeling spreaded through the Skull of the young dragon, the pain got even Worse*
“The blood pooling needs to go, the heart pumps with a positive pressure wave, capillaries are ruptured and the positive pressure just pumps more and more blood out where it should not be, it needs an out, I don't have a way to make an out, I have no drill, I have nothing to relieve the pressure”
*The pain only got worse and worse, his body started convulsing*
“It needs an out, I don't want to die, it needs an out, I don't want to die, Eyes go through, the nerves pass into the brain, if the blood can somehow get there it can relieve the pressure, if the Heart stops pumping the capilares can reform faster and the lack of pressure would stop the problem from getting worse”
*The pain was unbearable, tears mixed with blood started falling on his face, the smell of iron making his nausea worse, his head was spinning and the pain got worse still, but he couldn't go to sleep, if he slept now he would not wake up, he was sure of it*
“It needs an out, it needs to stop beating, just stop and move out, stop and move out, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die … Just …”
“STOP AND MOVE OUT ”
-ROAR RWA RWOW RAAAAAAAW -
With a roaring effort, blood shot out from the dragon's eyes, his body shutting down as his Heart obeyed the command for a pause, the pain of a heart attack mixing with the relief of the headache, the brain healing rapidly, the blood draining out at the same time as his consciousness started fading.
And just as it all was going black, it beated anew.
*With a heavy groan and more unintelligible bark/roaring noises, the Young Dragon turned, finally surrendered to the ground, sprawling his back and … now that he pays more attention … wings to the ground, belly up and looking at the cave ceiling.*
“That's a lot of pointy rocks”
-Ra ra raaw ro rawy rwo-
*He mumbled to himself, pain in the head subsiding with surprising speed, his thoughts coming more clearly, and the sensation of too much air going away completely*
“I should probably do something about that” -Ra Rouw Rawrawri ra rawriin raraw rwa-
*His eyes where too heavy for it, his thoughts were clearer and the relieve from pain imence, sleep was calling and wasn't taking no for an answer*
“Maybe after sleep …”
*The young dragon finally lost his battle for consciousness, relieved to not be diying, safe from death embrace for a while longer ... sleep finally getting to him*
