After giving birth, Ephiny had fallen into a very vounerable state. The dragoness had never felt these feelings before, and the fact that Dalibor was there with her when she gave birth said something huge about him, but she tryed to push it away. Something she'd probably have to explain to her sister. By the Gods, her sister... What would she think of the cubs? Would they be exiled? Or would the beautiful boy be forced into slavery? The girl, which she had dubbed Nereza would have no problem falling under Eponin's good side since the little one was hiccuping smoke, a good precurser to something a lot more hot.
So there the firey dragoness lay, in the cave that she had given birth in wrapped around both of her cubs while Dalibor was off doing his rounds and collecting food, waiting for her sister to come and give her opinion.

The sister was not too far off. She had sensed her triplets agony as the birthing pains wracked her body. The presence of that male was troubling in itself. He should be gone. Eponin growled to herself as she padded towards her.
"Sister." Eyes found the cubs. A female. Good, and she was making smoke. Even better. And a cursed male. Not so good. "I see you've had... cubs."

The female looked up at her sister and nodded, "Thank you for stating the obvious, sister. Looks like you're an aunt." A little bit of a jesting look was givin then she licked each of the cubs to rouse them, but the yellow one wasn't seeming to want to awake just yet.
"I've named them Nereza and Torque. Nereza takes after her father quite a bit.. But so does Torque..." Then there was silence, her sister was calculating, and she knew it. She waited for the end result a bit nervously.
Nereza on the other hand did not like being awaken, atol, even if it was by her mother. With a bit of a hiss as she was licked she swated at the offending tounge with her eyes closed. Turning on her stomach she opened up one eye sencing another presence and eyed the black and purple female.

The dragoness watched the male for a long few minutes. She didn't move, until the flick of a tail sealed her thoughts. "Acceptable, this time. He will learn his place." Eponin nodded to the male.
Silver eyes turned to the brown female. Ah, now this one would go far, much farther then the stupid male. "Yes?"

Ephiny nodded, there it was. The two had agreed that there would be a single male that would be a result from the sisters that would become their prince, but Torque would not be it. "Indeed, he shall. He looks strong, I'm thinking he'd make a better warrior than hunter. Dali could teach him." Oh no! She had done it, she let out too much emotion when saying the father of her cubs' name. s**t. To hopefully cover it up, she swiftly began talking about her daughter.
"Yes, she's smoking and she has a bit of a temper to boot. She'll fit in very well, sister."
Nereza looked back to her mother, knowing what she spoke already. Of course she'd go far. But turning back to her mother's almost identical twin the cub was trying to put things together, but she wasn't always as sharp right when she woke up as she was in the middle of the day. "What do you mean my brother will learn his place?"

A low serpetine hiss signaled that Eponin had heard it, and knew what it meant. She turned to her neice instead for that moment. "Males in our pride are weak, nothing more then tools for our existance. They are hunters, warriors and breeders. Nothing much." Let the girl learn it now. This was her birthright. "We are the Dragons."

Though the cub was only 1/3 dragon, Nereza accepted her Aunt's words with a pride as if they puffed up her ego to the hilt as if a truth that she had rediscovered. She was better than even her father because she was a female and because she was a dragoness in training. She stood tall and looked up at her Aunt with a nod thinking about it and letting it percolate.
Ephiny's heart fell a little as she knew how Torque would be treated now, as a tool. But the tool had come from her own flesh and blood, surely that counted for something. No! "She's right, Aunt Eponin makes a good point. As soon as Torque awakes he'll be treated as he should given no special treatments. He'll learn to fight and hunt, but that's all he'll learn. But you, my sweet daughter, will learn of our past, of our history, and how our world runs."

A cold smile was given to Nereza. "You will be a great Dragoness."
That cold smile was turned on her sister. The black Dragoness leaned forward to whisper in the warm colored ears. "Get rid of the male." That one whom had impregnated her sister. "Or I will." She knew which way it would be preferred.
Her way was not kind.

"I will.." She whispered back, putting her head on the ground allowing her long yellow hair to drape over her face. Of course she didn't want to get rid of Dalibor, he was a good protector and provider. Then came what she hoped to be a good excuse to keep the male around.
"Who will train Torque? I certainly won't. I'll be busy with Nereza. You know well that it's a male's job to train a male."
The dark red cub turned around finally after she had finished her thoughts and went to her mother, nuzzling up her side around her brother making sure the two were not touching. Oh, she would make sure that his life was hell, and that he knew his place.

"We will." She would smash every excuse Ephiny would make. Males had no places stepping outside of their stations. There was no place to be investing emotion in males. "What better teachers then those the males will be serving."
"And her." Eponin smirked at Nereza. "She will help."

Nereza smiled as her aunt gave her the look, becoming really fond of her Aunt. "I can help!" She said with a bit of an evilish look to her brother once again. "Can we get more males for me to push around too?" The cub asked getting excited about it now.
Ephiny nodded in defeat then laughed a little at her daughter's excitement, "Yes honey, we will get some more males to push around. Torque won't be alone. We'll build up our pride, and you will be helping with that too, my love." But that meant Dalibor had to leave... Her love, had to leave her and the cubs..

"Remember Nereza," Eponin's eyes were focused on the cub, but her tone and advice were for the fire-colored female. "Males cannot rise above their three ranks. They can never hold a place in our lives as anything more then what they are. That means your father as well."
She would rid them of that male herself. Ephiny wouldn't do it, that much was certian. Claws pricked the ground in delight. It had been a very, very long time since she'd punished a male.

This little bit Nereza struggled with for a couple of seconds but then just accepted it and rejoiced in it. "So I'm better than Daddy?" She asked tilting her head and then corrected herself, "My Dad. Dalibor." Never again would she refer to her paternal donar as her father again, he was beneath her and did not deserve the respect it gave.
Ephiny watched her daughter change and became a bit proud of it, her daughter was accepting the way of life very well, she hoped that her son would also take well to it. "Right, three ranks. Hunter, Breeder and Warrior. Tools, your father is nothing but a breeder." That hurt her to say, but for his own protection, it's how things had to be. Eponin would not mind killing him, and she knew it.

It would still be done. To ensure both Nereza and Ephiny's futures. She would run the male out. Destroy his emotions for the other Dragoness and rake her claws through his flesh to drive the lesson home.
"Yes, Dalibor is nothing but a temporary breeder."

Torque had woken up moentsbefore, unmoving as he heard the voice of someone who he had not known. He listened to the words of who seemed to be his aunt, unmoving. Apparantly, there was more to what he ad thought to be a simple family. Blue lids presed closed and an ear gave a gentle flick. Dragoness? The word confused him slightly. He had heard it before, and the meaning seemed unknown to him. Curiousty caused the cub who had inheireted the taits andpowers of his father, to open his eyes enough to look at the beings around him.
The lion was approaching. His mother was a half demon, his father full, so the demonic blood warmed his vein, fueling his strength. He dragged a zebra in his maw, to feed his childen and his love, or rather, who he had thought to be such. The thorns from the rose vine he controled was wrapped around the preybeast's neck, glistening in the dark red blood. As Dalibor approached the cave, he paused, eyes narrowed on the new female.
