There was a cloudy sky over a battlefield. The battle was between humans, of course, probably fighting over territory or something. Anthony was trudging about, clothes ripped from various attacks but his body stayed unscratched- probably because he was a good dodger. He wielded a single 9mm pistol, locked and loaded. A couple of F-16s flew over head, firing at each other, missile explosions defeaning his ears. A couple of people armed with Ak-57s ran toward his way. Hoping they didn't see him, he jumps behind a bush and watches them run pass. Smiling a bit to himself, he resumes running.

After many hours of trying to escape the large battlefield, he heard footsteps nearing him. He notices it was two men, they probably thought he was the enemy. He fires at them, but after 3 shots, he ran out of bullets. He only killed one of them with 2 shots to the chest and one to the knee. Grunting, he drops the gun and runs into a nearby cave.

The cave was dark, and small. And a single 18 foot black dragon sat in the cave. He prepared to walk out but stopped as the dragon said "wait." Anthony turns around, looking back at the dragon. "You can't go out there, they will kill you, thinking you are the enemy." Anthony blinks, the dragon was right. He also recognized the dragon's voice. It was Sonja, "So Sonja, what are you doing here?" he asked. "I followed you." came Sonja's reply. Anthony opens his mouth to ask more questions but Sonja cuts him off, "come to me and I'll offer you protection. Anthony didn't hesitate and walked over to her. She was a friend so what'd he have to loose? Sonja smiles and curls up around Anthony and lays his head against her stomach, "so how was your day?" she replied as she nuzzled his neck with her muzzle. "It was okay I guess- except for the random war, of course." came his reply. Sonja smiles "well, I'll make sure the war doesn't get you." She replied softly and slurps Anthony up into her mouth. Anthony blinks, looking around, surprised "huh? What's going on?!"

"Relax." She replied with telepathy and swallows. Anthony slides into her belly and he finally gets the idea. No one would mess with a dragon so he would be safe in her. Sonja licks her lips and nuzzles her belly "are you okay in there?" Anthony blinked, somewhat surprised that there were no stomach juices filling the belly. "Um… yeah, I'm alright." He replied. He could hear the missile explosions and gun fire from outside but that was mostly drenched out by Sonja's soft heart beat. This, and the warmth that the stomach provided, made him fall asleep.
