Chapter 6 Why Don't You?
Mal's POV
One Hour Later
I looked down at the remains the trap the Occisor was in.
I picked it up before looking up...and seeing the damage the Occisor had left when they flew off.
Ten Minutes Later
I walked through a cave and into a valley.
I looked around, but couldn't spot the Occisor anywhere.
"This is hopeless", I said.
Then...I noticed something on the ground.
I kneeled down and picked it up to get a better look.
It was...a dragon scale. One that matched the Occisor.
"It was definitely here", I said.
And as soon as I did...I was knocked down by something!
I looked up...and couldn't believe my eyes.
It was...the Occisor!
I looked at it in awe before grabbing my sketchbook out of my bag and making a quick sketch of it.
The Occisor frantically flapped around as it tried to claw it's way out of the valley.
It eventually fell to the ground in exhaustion before trying to grab a fish.
"I don't get it", I said to myself. "Why don't you just fly away?"
I got my answer when I looked closer at the Occisor's tail.
One of it's tail fins was missing.
I erased this body part from my drawing before looking down sadly.
"The Occisor was able to fly just fine when I shot it down", I said. "That means...that it can no longer fly...because of me."
Before I could continue talking to myself...I dropped my pencil!
The Occisor heard this sound...and spotted me!
I froze up in fear. However...the Occisor didn't make a move on me. It just...stared at me.
That Night
I walked into Draco's giant dinning hall soaking wet.
I noticed my classmates and Auntie Grim sitting by a table and walked up to them.
"Hey guys", I greeted.
"There you are", Evie said. "Where have you been?"
"I was in the forest", I revealed.
"Why were you there", Carlos asked.
"Oh", I started nervously. "I just really like it there. Plus, there are many great things to draw."
"You should be practicing your dragon hunting instead", Ben stated.
"You definitely need it", Audrey stated.
"That's enough Audrey", Auntie Grim scolded. "But Ben is right that you should focus on studying. That's why I want you to read this book that has information on all the types of dragons we encounter here."
One Hour Later
Well everybody had left the dinning hall, I stayed to read the book Auntie Grim gave me.
I skipped to the section on Occisors...and this is what it said.
Occisors (also known as the bringers of death) are the most dangerous type of dragon to ever live. Nobody has ever seen one, or at least lived long enough to tell the tale."
After I read this, I got out my sketch of the Occisor
"Remember this Mal. Dragons always go for the kill."
"But you didn't", I said to myself. "Why?"
