The spider that ate men
By: Drew H. Schneider
Over the year the dragon and the boy became good friends. The boy told the dragon his secrets, dreams, and hopes. Every day was like a dream come true ever since the two met. One day about one week before the boys 11th birthday a rumor about a giant spider that was attacking travelers spread like wildfire throughout the area. Everyone was warned not to go out alone at night. Of course the boy meant to listen but when he was with Lombardia (the name the boy had given the dragon) time just flew by. One night just after a day of fun with Lombardia the boy was heading home when his leg got caught on something, something sticky. He turned in horror to find a rather large strand of webbing sticking to his leg. It was then that he was pulled upwards towards the tree tops, he tried to struggle but it was no use the spider had him. He yelled for help but there was no one around for miles. The spider slowly began to wrap the boy from toe to head with the slimy webbing. The boy could see the spiders' fangs sharp enough to pierce even the latest steel armor. He could see the spiders' long legs carefully moving so as not to get stuck on its own web, its eyes which glowed a sick green, its hair which was highlighted in the moon. The boy was going to die and he knew it the spider had already gotten up to his waist it was then that the boy called out the name of the one person who could help. "Lombardiaaaaaa! Help me!!!" the boy cried as loud as he could. The spider just continued to wrap him it had gotten to his chest when suddenly something came falling out of the sky and crashed into the spider. It was Lombardia; the dragon had heard the boys cry and had come to his rescue. The dragon and the spider began to fight, the spider tried to pounce onto the dragon and inject it with poison but the dragon was to quick for it. It dodged to the side and clawed the spiders' side with its razor sharp claws. For you see dragons grow much quicker than humans and while the dragon had been just a fledgling just a year ago now it was a mature teenage dragon. The battle went on for half an hour when the dragon used its special ability, the ability available to all techno dragons its laser cannons to blast the spider to smithereens. The threat was over and the dragon cut the boy loose from the webbing. The boy now had a new respect for his dragon not only as a beautiful beast but as a friend...
