1. Fish
A cry was heard as the great Night Fury was once again unable to capture not even the smallest of fish for a meal. He lamented over his ever missing left tail fin. He knew that this loss would be the sole cause of his demise. Before it had been taken from him he had been able to capture fish at a moment's notice, no matter how large or how swift they were. With a great sigh he tried once more, anger and hunger fuelling his muscles as his stomach cried out for nourishment. Again the woeful, heart wrenching cry was heard as he failed yet again. No longer was anger and desperation rushing through his body, it was replaced by a sense of failure, a sense of longing, and a sense of sheer despair. It was replaced by the sole instinctive array of emotion that every creature feels when he looks into the eyes of what he knows to be death. He looked up at the birds as they flew across his prison. Oh, how he longed to fly once again among his brethren. He could see his reflection within the water and growled in pure disgust. He was nothing more than a useless, horrible, stupid four-legged monster. He was never to fly again, never to feel the wind beneath his wings. He would forever be bound to the earth like the now lowly and disgusting lizard he was until he finally died of starvation. The last of his kind to die in such a way made a shiver run down his spine.
It was when he heard the slight step of the man-child he had first encountered did he move from the spot beside the lake. He immediately moved toward the boy who held within his hands a lone fish. Creeping closer the Night Fury soon backed away at the sight of a small dagger within the man-child's possession. Growling fiercely he eyed the dagger with caution and hatred. The man-child seemed to notice and soon used his foot to toss the dagger deep within the small lake beside them. Once again he held out the lone fish to the dragon. To say the least, the man-child did intrigue the Night Fury.
