Mama's Boy - OC Animation Meme

It's dooooone!!! It's been a while since I've done an actual animation meme - I was getting back into rewriting Draka Imperium's main story and was inspired to make this :) I finally had time after my second semester of grad school finished! Yippeeeee Some story notes on what's shown here: This video centers around Uovos, a Snow/Sand drake hybrid. His mother is a Sand drake fugitive, who fled from the skonite ore mines in the desert with her daughter (Uovos' half-sister) Yuvaika. His father is a rather cowardly but well-meaning Snow drake nomad. Uovos in his youth was looked after primarily by Yuvaika rather than his parents. Glacignius, an Imperial dragon Centurion, eventually tracked down Uovos' mother, and was scarred in the face by Yuvaika. Instead of executing Uovos' mother for running away and Yuvaika for the assault (and Uovos' father for aiding a runaway), Glacignius struck a bargain: Yuvaika and Uovos' father could live as they wished, while the Centurion would return Uovos' mother to the skonite mines and would take Uovos back to Zenith (the Imperial capital) as his own ward. Yuvaika hated this offer, but both of Uovos' parents accepted, seeing as how it meant both of their children would survive. Uovos was then raised in Zenith and trained alongside other legionaries in the Imperial army. He made up for his small stature and lack of an element with his agility and finesse in melee combat, often winning fights against much larger opponents. His reputation rose quickly, as did his rank. Glacignius conditioned him as subtly as he could, attempting to overwrite the young drake's previous upbringing underneath his parents and half-sister, so as to transform him into the Imperium's perfect warrior: a soldier with unshakeable loyalty to the Imperium, yet with intricate knowledge of its enemies and the outside wilds. As effective as the Centurion's efforts may have otherwise been, however, they never completely erased Uovos' memory of his family and their teachings. Glacignius' final test of his ward's loyalty before promoting him to Optio (the Centurion's own second-in-command) was the task of bringing him the head of Yuvaika, who had grown over the years into a formidable rebel leader known as the 'Viper of the West'. Before Uovos could make the decision on whether to remain loyal to his superior or to his family, however, Glacignius' cohort was summoned by Empress Atein to assist in the invasion of Roseate Wyvern territory in the southeastern rocky barrens. The events which transpired there were catastrophic, to say the least, resulting in the death of not only Uovos' entire regiment, but the Empress herself under mysterious circumstances. It was thought that Uovos, too, had perished in the calamity, especially after having been paralyzed by a wyvern's tail barb, but this was in fact not the case...
