Dragon Tales: 2nd Scale Found

Hello there. My name is Scott Wild, and this is the story of my first time discovering Dragon Land:

It was the first day of summer, and I was only 5 years old. My parents, brothers, and I lived in a moderate home on Beaver Island, a place surrounded by Lake Michigan. Since it was a quiet community, my parents would always leave us at home when they went off to work. I was at home chilling when I got the brilliant idea of messing around my room. I was on a quest to find a secret door or something. I was about to give up when I realized the narrow wall below my window could move. I opened it and saw a cool looking case.

I opened it up, and saw a shiny dragon scale. I was amazed by the look of it, and held it in my hand. I saw some written words inside the case, and I read it out loud, "I wish, I wish, with all my heart; to fly with dragons, in a land apart." All the sudden, the dragons on my wall jumped to life, and started swirling around me. I couldn't move as they did it, and I thought of screaming, but it was too late. I had been teleported to a whole other world.

I opened my eyes and found myself in a mysterious land. I looked around, and couldn't believe what I was seeing. I saw all kinds of things that were supposed to be "non-existent" in my life. I started questioning my well-being, "Was I dreaming?" I thought to myself. Up ahead, I saw what I couldn't believe at the time, actual dragons! I ran for the nearest hiding spot, and started panicking.

"Dragons! They're real!" I panicked to myself.

"They're very nice you know", a voice said from behind. I turned around and saw a tree with a mouth and two eyes. I screamed at the top of my lungs and ran for it. I started crying, thinking I would never see my family again.

I found a nice quiet area, and just sat there crying. It couldn't have been more than 5 minutes before I heard, "Are you okay?"

I looked up and saw a dragon! But this one was small, pink, and had a sweet voice in her. I gasped as I crawled backwards, "A talking dragon?! How is that possible?!"

"You're in Dragon Land, friend. I'm Cassie", she said in a sweet tone. I calmed down, and started questioning her.

"What is this place?"

"It's called Dragon Land, and this is where Dragons of all kinds live."

"Are there man eating ones?"

"Are you kidding, there is no such thing as that. You should really meet my friends."

I reluctantly went with her, and that's where I met Ord, a blue dragon, and Zak and Wheezie, a two headed dragon. They all introduced themselves to me, and I felt welcomed.

"Am I the first one to visit Dragon Land?" I asked.

"Unfortunately, no", Zak told me, "There are 3 other kids, Emmy, Max, and Enrique, who have already discovered the scale."

"Which reminds me", Ord said, "I need to call them, hopefully to meet you".

I was scared, but I went along with it. After a minute of waiting, they appeared. They looked happy to see their dragon friends, but they all turned towards me as if I was an outcast.

"Who's he?" asked Max.

"That's Scott, he found a dragon scale like you guys did." Wheezie told them.

I shook hands with them and said hello, but then my ultimate question popped out.

"I'm sorry to be rude, but how do I get out of here? I just want to go home."

At that moment, a bigger and older dragon, named Quetzal, introduced himself to me. He told me about the story of the scales, how I found the second scale, gave the dragons a scale to call me back if needed, and the rhyme to go back home.

I told everyone I just needed to go home and think about all this, but would be willing to come back the next day. They all said bye as I said "I wish, I wish, to use this rhyme, to go back home, until next time."

I then was teleported back to my house, and actually collapsed on the bed. I couldn't believe what I saw. I now had friends to play with, and I could go back whenever I wanted, and the best part, time freezes in my world when I visit Dragon Land, so that my parents don't go freaking out when I'm visiting Dragon Land.
