Kyto flew to the volcano. He smiled his toothy reptilian grin. This would be the perfect spot for him to live. Kyto spotted a cave. He flew in. It was dark and cold, but Kyto would fix that. He spewed flames from his mouth until the cave warmed up. Kyto's flame was infernal.
They young dragon then explored his cave. To his extreme delight, there was a lone Never pearl in the very back. This was the first item that he ever put in his hoard.
Dragons are hoarders, and they love beautiful and rare things. They love gold and jewels, and Never pearls, which are extremely rare and only found on Never Land, appeal to them greatly.
Kyto's stomach growled, for he was hungry. He flapped his mighty, young wings until he had gotten to the edge of the forest. It was hard for Kyto to hide himself, for he was bright red, but since he was little, he hid behind a thick tree to wait for some prey.
The animals had also sensed Kyto's coming, and they were more wary and skittish than they usually were. But the young dragon had hidden himself well. Soon, a deer walked by. The dragon waited, then poked his head out from behind the tree and spewed out a flame. The deer tried to get away, but it was crisped almost immediately.
Kyto began to eat. He liked his food nicely cooked, and he was soon contented by his full belly.
Kyto flew back to his cave. He looked around for any more nooks and crannies he could find.
Never Land hadn't forgotten that Kyto was there. It was worried that the dragon could be trouble. But it also knew that Kyto was part of the island now. Never Land decided that it would give Kyto the gift of speech.
Kyto only could speak in sounds before. But now, his mind suddenly thought of words. That pretty thing over there was called a "Never pearl". And the place he was in was called a "cave"!
Kyto opened his mouth to make his young-dragon noises. But instead, he spoke words.
"What a place to live," Kyto spoke. "I battled the fierce winds and succeeded, and now I am here!"
Kyto liked his new ability so much that he kept talking. "That deer was delicious. I wonder what other delicious animals live here?"
In Pixie Hollow, the fairies were experiencing some odd weather. Kyto's flaming had caused the island to heat up just a bit. In the Summer Glade, where it was usually comfortable weather, it was now very hot. In the Spring Valley, the cherry blossoms were beginning to wilt from the unusual heat. In the Autumn Forest, the leaves were trying to turn green. And in the Winter Woods, the snow was beginning to melt.
The winter fairies were not happy about this. Their wings were starting to feel odd, and the snow had turned to slush. Gliss, a frost fairy, was frosting fairies' wings to keep them cool enough. If frost is covering a fairy's wings, it will keep either the heat or the cold from damaging the wings.
Meanwhile, Tinker Bell was exploring with Peter Pan and the Lost Boys. They were flying around the forest, trying to spot pointy sticks. For some reason, little boys like pointy sticks very much.
Tink suddenly saw the remains of the deer that Kyto had killed. She was horrified. She didn't know of any animal in Never Land big enough to kill a deer. It was enough to send Tink flying home to Pixie Hollow, but she didn't. The Lost Boys and Peter had flown close to the deer and landed near it. One of the boys picked a bone up.
"Peter, this would be really nice to make into a weapon of some sort," the boy said.
"Yeah!" Peter cried. "Let's use all the bones and make weapons!"
Tink didn't like weapons. Fairies didn't use weapons much, except for the scouts, who carried weapons in case of an emergency. But Tinker Bell still stayed. She was starting to be friends with Peter.
