Help! How Do I Raise a Dragon?

[A dual-perspective Western fantasy told through forum posts, with a fluffy, sweet romance. An estimated 90% or more of the story is forum posts. If that's not your thing, please stay away.] [Help] How do I become a proper dragon mount? OP: Waaaah, I have a dragonfruit pearl bubble tea on my head. Seniors, please help me! I've read all the advice posts on the forum! But they're so confusing, and my situation doesn't seem to fit any of them... Let me explain. I think this is my second rebirth. When I opened my eyes after this one, I realized something was missing. The elders said I might have been seriously injured during my last rebirth, which affected my new body. But the elders in charge of the memory archive won't let me look at my old memories. According to dragon rules, unless I don't plan to be a dragon mount anymore, those memories have to stay sealed in the archive. There's no way they'll let me see them. But I really love being a dragon mount. Who gets it? Haki people are so cute even when they're tiny! I'm so, so happy that I can be a dragon mount and keep someone company! Because my impairment might affect my ability to fly, I'd already accepted that no dragon rider would choose me. But I never expected to be chosen after all! He picked me at first sight! And my rider is super strong! I can't reveal too much, but I have to say it! He's! So! Strong! And! Handsome! So here's my question. How do I become a proper dragon mount? How can I learn to fly again? 1F: Rebirth doesn't mean you completely lose your memories. You still remember basic skills, right? Flying is an innate ability. How could you forget that? 2F: Huh? How do you fly? Find a high place, jump off, flap your wings, and you're flying! 3F: Don't bother, everyone. I suspect OP is showing off his dragon rider. Posts like this pop up every so often. I'm getting tired of them. 4F: Remember to choose the [Showing Off] section for posts bragging about your knight. I've moved this one over there for you, sweetie. OP: No! I'm really asking for help! [Help] How do I take good care of a newly hatched dragon? OP: As the title says, it's my contracted dragon. I'm a dragon rider, but I've never raised a hatchling before. This is my first time dealing with a tiny, wrinkly little dragon who's just come out of its eggshell. How should I feed it? Do I need to teach it how to walk and fly? It seems to like me a lot. Maybe it's just cold, because it's been shivering ever since it hatched, but it's pressed right up against me and burrowing into my arms. I never knew a hatchling's skin would feel so amazing. What should I do now? Should I give it goat's milk? No, wait... Dragons aren't mammals, are they? I'm at a complete loss. Can someone teach me what to do? 1F: Huh? There are dragon riders who've never raised a hatchling? 2F: As far as I know, only the first generation of dragon riders never raised hatchlings, since all their contracted dragons were adults. OP, are you a first-generation dragon rider? 3F: Wow, first-generation riders must be ancient. Can people that old still use magic stones to chat on forums? Don't they have ringing ears, blurry vision, and hunched backs? 4F: A few of the first generation were elven knights. Everyone knows elves live a long time and don't age. Their dragon mounts seem to live longer too. Most dragon mounts only live seventy or eighty years, but the first-generation dragons are over a hundred and still adorable, bouncing around happily. 5F: Huh? How can anyone call these enormous creatures adorable? Wouldn't the ground shake when they jumped? 6F: OP, take a look at these: [Click to open link...

The dragons can talk and are highly intelligent, but they keep this secret from humans, so people don't know. Dragon riders treat their dragons like giant Haki cats, while the dragons think humans are tiny, soft, and weak, and find them adorable, so they raise their knights like Haki people. That's why this is a dual-perspective story told through forum posts. For details about the setting, please read the main story! The pairing is an elven knight top x an invincible dragon! The human is a first-generation dragon rider, and the dragon is a first-generation dragon. They're both powerful, but due to the plot, the dragon has undergone rebirth again, turning into an egg and hatching, and temporarily has no memories from before its rebirth. But the human's dragon has been him all along, and the dragon's knight has been this same person all along. 2. This is a pure, fluffy, sweet forum-post story. It's cute and silly, and a huge, huge portion of it is forum posts. If that's not your thing, please stay away. Don't yell at me! I brought back forum-post stories for a literary revival, so please cut me some slack, okay? QAQ P.S. This story was adapted from a pre-release listing I locked two or three years ago. JJ doesn't allow authors to delete pre-release listings, and having a row of locked listings in the dashboard was driving me crazy. So I turned one into a short forum-post story. If that bothers you, feel free to remove it from your favorites. I'm really sorry (bows deeply in apology). Theme: Be kind to animals.
