Prologue
It was a beautiful spring day in April. The sky was as clear as any thing that day, and I was enjoying a pleasant walk through my backyard. I see skies of blue... clouds of white. Bright blessed days dark scared nights...And I think to myself, what a wonderful world...I thought and laughed."What a wonderful world indeed." I said aloud.
This world filled with man's creation and achievement. From the invention of the light bulb to the Moon landing, mankind has done great things.
But, one of the most amazing things on this tiny rocky speck in the universe we call home are dragons. Reptiles of the sky. The largest living thing with the ability to take flight. Studying and learning about them has been a hobby of mine scene as far back as I can remember. All my life I have been amazed by these creatures of flight. Now in 2010, I know nearly everything there is to be known about dragons. Such as number of shots or average life span, even genus and species. Dragons play a significant role in history. Mostly in events involving flight. A pet dragon aided the Wright Brothers in the design of there aircraft. Dragons also played a major role in WWI and WWII.
Sadly things have changed since the heyday of dragon and human flight (Being shortly after the war between dragons and vikings ended.) dragons and humans have grown apart. Dragons are much less friendly today. Now dragons see us as something that's just there and can be ignored rather than a friend and ally. There are far less dragon riders today than when the vikings were around. To make matters worse, There are people who hunt dragons. "Damm poachers..." I murmured as I cringed at the thought of a dragon being shot out of the sky and mercilessly killed ,skinned, and made into boots. "eugh!" I spat as the horrid image ran through my head. The thought of such amazing creatures being killed for no more than commerce made me want to punch someone, twice.
I looked up at the clear blue sky and spotted a tiny silhouette of something with wings. "Hmmmmm..." I squinted to identify exactly what it was. Ah ha! Its a terrible terror.I thought as it glided through the sky. Rather an ironic name though.I thought again. Such a tiny dragon named to sound horrifying. I chuckled. Then thinking about all the dragons I have seen in my life thus far, I remembered my encounter with a Night Fury.
Luckily at the time I had a camera with me so I managed to get an few pics. It must have been high on kitty grass or something cause the crazy thing landed on our car! My Mom slammed on the brakes but somehow it hung on. I then proceeded to roll down the window stick my head out and take pictures. A few of it looking up and behind us and then of it flying away. None of us have any idea as to why it landed on the roof of the car. I enjoy photograph and video taping so I got good shots of it. I had other events running through my head until my mom called me in because we were going to go out to dinner somewhere and then to the store. "Ok mom I'm coming!" I jogged inside. "You should take a shower when your sister gets out." she said. "Yeah I will." I said in agreement. As soon as my sister Kate left the shower I was on my way up to my room. Me being myself I am horribly disorganized , so I couldn't find my bathrobe. Instead, I used a robe that isn't used for showering.(if that's possible) It is made of a flannel material and was very hot in the weather. When I was done in the shower Mom cut my hair. It was kinda long. When that was done I went to get dressed. It took me a moment to find a good pair of shorts. As soon as I did; I went downstairs and said "Let's go."
And so the prolouge is done.
