Chapter 5: Future Plans

Blue whales are born weighing 5 to 6k pounds and measuring up to 23 feet long. In the first year of their lives, they’ll grow about 10 pounds per hour or 250 pounds per day. Reaching about 60 feet long and well over 20 tons. Which is fucking insane to think about.

Dragons, or at least my particular brand of awesome black dragon, isn’t quite so dramatic or ridiculous. No wait, maybe it is? I’ve always been kinda bad at math. All I know is that I’m probably about three months old now. My growth speed has slowed down, kinda, since I’m ‘only’ a foot long now. But it does mean that I’ve gotten like four times longer since I was born, hatched, whatever.
