Maroon was a Dragon that Nightkiller always loved. Her calming voice, her intelligence of the wildlife, and her sense of humor. Plus, she was a great talker.
"You don't come tooday,' Maroon said looking at him. "You came yesterday."
" Addax is going to the market again, " Nightkiller said Smiling. "He won't be gone for long, but we still have a bit".
" I like that, " Maroon said. She spread her wings and stretched them. Her scales were the maroon red she was named after but short crimson veins came from her claws up her talons and longer ones spread from the fingers of her wings and across her membrane. "What are we doing."
"I found a something I want to show you,' Nightkiller said excitedly. "Come follow me."
they soared through the trees back towards the desert until they found what Nightkiller was looking for and Maroon gasped.
A flower was there there, A few others around the area. Nightkiller and Maroon loved discovering all the different flora and fauna around were they meet, and Nightkiller had browowed (mabye stole) a plant guide books from Addax but this one wasn't one he had seen. It was a dahlia flower there's a a burgundy that nearly matched Maroon's scales.
"They look like me," Maroon said awestruck.
" I knew to would like them, " Nightkiller said.
They talked and walked and flew and ate the food Nightkiller had gotten them, then Nightkiller decided it was time for him to get back. He said his goodbyes to Maroon then began the fly to his house.
But halfway there he froze.
Nightkiller knew that Addax would be home soon. But the dragon descending towards his house was coming from the wrong direction and looked smaller than Addax.
Then he saw a flash of tiny silver scales.
A Nightwing was flying towards Nightkiller's house.
