Chapter

The big fierce black dragon saw me. He took one look at me and shrieked again, low, deep and fierce.
ââSc-scuse me?â I squeaked.
The dragon looked at me again with no reply.
âExcuse me!â I said boldly, not so scared anymore.
Suddenly, the black dragon spun on me, his eyes flashed ruthlessly. He clawed at my head. Luckily, I dodged his swipe. His claws narrowly missed me. Angered by my swift move, the dragon blew black smoke all around me. I remembered my den engulfed in flames and the black smoke blinding me. These visions flashed through my brain in appalling clearity. I caught my breath. This is the dragon that did it! I felt rage and fear pulse through my body. I weazed and coughed, fighting for air. The smoke was too thick, I could not see. I gave up.
And fainted.
I started, warm sunshine shining down on my back.
âHello there, lilâ thing,â a kind voice sounded beside me. âI been waitinâ fer youâs ta wake up.â
I looked up at the dragonâs face. It looked exactly like her voice...kind. A goofy face stared down at me next to the kind looking dragonâs.
âYIPES!â the one with the goofy face declared. âYa ainât lookinâ te good!â
The kind looking dragon looked surprise. âNow, Dulack, what did I tell y-â
âWE COULD BE FRIENDS WHEN YOU GET BETTER, ISN'T THAT THE BEST IDEA...hay, why are yâall starinâ at me like that...â
And that was the first time I met Dulack. The kind looking dragonâs name was Athoone, and they were mother and son. Dulack and I became fast friends and Athoone took me under her wing...literally
To years past.
âSumo,Dulack! Please quiet down Iâm trying to hunt.â Athoone sighed again, âfine grumpy pantsâ Dulack snapped. (he could be a little snappy some times.) âOk, Mumâ I replied much much More politely than dulack. âThank you, you will both get a tern trying to hunt. ok ?âshe sighed. I looked up at her and âsmiledâ (Dragons don't smile very well), and sed âwe get to hunt to day?â My chest fild with excitement. âWhy, yes of course, I think you two boys are of age.â she sed. âOH YIPEE, OH YALOO, OH YASOO, OHHHHHH YES!â
