Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see through the eyes of a dragon? Meet Ruinar, a dragon whelp with a lot to learn in a world full of chaos and magic.
Hello Diary,
I am new at this so I will start with an introduction. I am Ruinar. Some know me as the young son of King Gaelon, though if you mention me around the king he will probably just shrug me off.
Don't feel bad for me, I am used to it by now. I have been living in this palace for two and a half years now. I admit that not a single one of my happy thoughts include my birth father, but instead, my loving mentor named Cand.
Cand is the most amazing dragon in all of Angoleth. I know this to be true because he is the only one who cares about little red me. If he had not been there at the moment I was born I would not have lived past an hour old.
Thankfully he was there to stop my father from executing his only heir. He now continues to mentor and teach me the ways of the Dragons of Angoleth, despite my father's personal wishes.
I may still be too young to fly or learn how to do fighting manuvers, but I know I am smart and my dragon abilities are starting to develop.
Just yesterday I accidentally found myself inside the head of a teenaged servant dragon named Almira. Her thoughts were an emotional mess and I ended up running down the hallway crying right after the encounter.
I don't know if I have the ability to describe what it is like to have someone else's emotions take over your own, but it was not pleasant and I will soon need to seek help with my mind reading powers. I can not be wandering into the minds of others at random. I need to learn control, for my own sanity's sake.
Anyway, I think I hear my father coming up the stairs nearby, so I will have to get studying and write more here later. I think if King Gaelon found me writing in a little diary he would think I was gendered wrong at birth. I don't need that crazy drama on top of everything else. Everyone ignores me enough so I don't want everyone starting to think I am a girl.

This was a nice, but a little confusing. Why did King Gaelon want to execute his heir? That's not normal, so adding some background on that would be helpful. Also, you might want to introduce the fact that Ruinar can read minds before he describes being in someone else's mind. Cute idea, keep at it!
