Enjoy!
"AMAZING!" Said, the animal expert Konishi Natsume, taking pictures of the sleeping mythical creature that Maria had delicately tucked in her bed before she was forced to go school.
When he and his team were called about the discovery of an unknown creature, he and his team thought it was a hoax, but they came, because of the small possibility that it really could be something.
So, imagine the absolute shock when they entered the mansion and saw the animal sleeping wrapped in bandages.
This was huge.
No.
This was more than huge.
Several of them touched the animals flaming mane and were surprised when they just felt heat but no pain.
Right in front of them was a creature that was only a myth until now.
This would change the whole world of discovery.
If a myth like this existed then what about the other creatures that were portrayed in books and illustrations?
Did they exist to?
One thing was for sure, the Takarada family would become incredibly famous once it got out they found a Mythical creature.
"Well?" Said, a voice behind them, startling them all.
They had forgotten that they weren't the only was in the room as they turned to see Lory Takarada, a very wealthy business owner standing right at the door.
"What is it?" Lory said.
"We'll sir." The man said, "Your granddaughter has found something extraordinary. The description is spot on. It's a dragon." Then the man said with twinkling eyes.
"Did your granddaughter find anything else? We would love to see it!"
His words were echoed by his whole team.
People would be shocked by how lively animals experts could be.
But for Lory it was a sign that he would have to tell his son that Maria had apparently found a mythical creature in their own backyard.
His son wouldn't believe it until he saw the creature with his own eyes.
At least, his son would be home.
Ch 2: Too hurt to protest.
The first thing that Drew noticed resurfacing to consciousness was the fact that he felt unnaturally warm.
There were several people in the room who noticed a hitch in his sleeping pattern and looked at the dragon in curiosity.
Drew than began to shift only to feel an unholy amount of pain in every part of his body, making him let out a howl.
This was also a big mistake.
His throat was on fire to.
Apparently, it wasn't a smart idea to scream your lung's out while you were being wacked by branch's and falling hard on rocks, while falling from certain death.
The howl, he gave certainly attracted attention especially from the little girl in the room.
Drew opened his eyes slowly to find himself wrapped up in something nice and soft and in front of him was his own reflection.
In the mirror, he saw that he was wrapped in bandages, covered in a mini bed sheet and he was on top of what looked like a girly bedsheet.
He was on somebody's bed!
Who!?
When was the last time, he had ever felt the comfort of a bed instead of a nest?
Then Dew noticed the unmistakable feeling of somebody staring at him.
He slowly turned his head, ignoring the pain in his neck, his eyes soon met with brown large eyes on an innocent little girls face.
This little girl was Maria Takarada.
"Hi" She said.
Dew stared.
And Stared.
Before he let out a scream.
Holy smokes he was in a little girl's bedroom!
Alone!
He was at least twice her age!
However, his screams didn't last long becomes he started coughing.
Coughing up smoke.
Maria was fascinated by the smoke coming out of his his mouth before she realized, he was actually in deep pain.
"D-Do you need water?" She said, looking panicked.
No, girl!
That was the worst thing for a dragon to have!
Then he remembered how pathetically his mother, brothers and sisters left him behind, after his failed attempt to fly.
He became super depressed, making Maria surprised by how human he acted, because she could clearly see the cloud of depression over his head.
She then picked him up, making sure not to hurt anything and said. "I don't know what you went through, but your safe now. I want to nurse you back to health."
Her kind words only made Dew looked at her with passive eyes.
He really needed to leave.
A grown ass man with a little girl who wasn't his daughter, alone, was enough for the cops to come.
But Maria did not see his soul, in her arms were an adorable blue dragon and now that she could see his eyes, it made her fall in love with him even more.
Was he a baby?
Where were his parents?
Drew then noticed that she was taking him somewhere but before he could struggle, his eyes went wide when he saw the very fancy looking corridor stuffed with servants who were pretending not to ease drop pressed to the walls.
"Hello, Mistress Maria" Said, one maid bowing before going.
"Would you like anything Mistress Maria" Said, a butler.
What the hell?
Drew realized an amazing fact.
This girl was filthy rich!
"I'm good but where is daddy?" She said.
"In the study" Said, one of them.
"Thank you" Said, Maria as she carried him all the way to the study, Drew eyes couldn't help but roam around, catching servant's attention.
They were all extremely curious about him, while some of the women wondered if it was safe to pet him.
He was so adorable to look at.
Drew soon entered a spacious room, with lots of books and a tall man sitting in chair drinking hot coffee while looking over some documents.
Drew had no idea how rear it was for the man to be in his own house, because he worked abroad.
"Daddy" Maria said.
The man looked up and his eyes widened seeing the creature in his beloved daughter's arms.
And Dew felt the need to sweat as the man's eyes narrowed, perhaps the man could sense his grown ass male soul being held by his daughter.
One look and he could tell the man was highly protective of his daughter.
If the man found out...
A loud sound erupted in the room, sounding like a lion's roar.
All three of them were startled.
Where did that come from?
Then the loud noise came again and this time, Drew felt 2 pairs of eyes turning his way.
The loud noise came from him!
It was his stomach!
Drew felt the need to blush, he could survive for days without eating anything but when he did need to eat, he would eat large creatures no problem.
"You're hungry?" Maria said, turning him towards her. "But what do do you eat?"
Yes, what did dragons eat?
Should they burn something and have him sucked the fire in?
Nobody thought they would need to confront a mythically book one day.
Even Maria father was curious, nobody could figure out what he ate, that's why nobody attempted to feed him but the animal was still clearly still alive after a few days.
Then they were both astounded to see Drew nudge her right hand in a certain way.
"Should I follow you?" She said, both of their eyes widen when Dew nodded, despite the pain.
HE COULD UNDERSTAND HER!
So, Maria using his nudges turned around and walked out of the door.
Drew would sniff the air before making her go a certain direction, they all followed and Maria soon realized that they were going to the kitchen.
They entered the kitchen where the kitchen staff were very surprised to see them and as much Dew wanted to see the high-class kitchen, he was haunting for food.
They soon came to a big door that was ice cold.
The entrance lead to the freezer.
"You want me to go in there?" Maria said.
"Not without a coat" Her father said, worried about his daughter getting a cold.
Maria pouted when her father made sure she was equipped with a really warm coat, gloves, scarf and hat before giving the okay for her to go in there.
The freezer was opened and Dew sneezed, Maria seeing this, wrapped him warm in her gloves before they resumed and approached the cold meat.
He nudged it.
"That's what you eat?" She said, looking at the slab of meat. "Now, we know what to feed you"
What was he?
A Pet?
Somebody came in and took down the slab of meat out and Maria followed into the warm kitchen where the door was closed behind her.
However, when somebody began to cut the slab of meat and cook it.
Dew let out a loud sound that startled the person and then Maria released him and he limped his way to the slab of meat before taking a bite out of it, enjoying the uncooked frozen meat.
"You like meat raw?" Maria said and she wasn't the only one surprised.
And then they saw how huge his appetite actually was, within minutes the slab of prime expensive meat, that could feed 15 people had vanished just like that.
Right into the tiny thing that looked content and cutely happy.
Nobody could say anything for some time.
"You have a very big appetite" Maria said, "But, we have more."
And Dew immediately latched onto the word 'more'.
Her father sighed, he hoped that the creature did not get absolutely massive and eat his family out of his house and home.
Luckily it could survive after a few days of eating, so the large meat was consumed daily.
"You can keep him, Maria" Her father said, making his daughter happy but then he said. "But if it start's spitting fire then I want it away from our house and if it gets too big for the house, I want you to set him free"
Seriously.
Was he a pet!?
I am a He not an IT!
"Thank you, daddy!" Maria said, hugging him.
The man was stunned to see the creature fiscally roll his eyes.
It really could understand them.
And it was such a human response as well!
What had his daughter exactly found!?
Then Drew considered himself manhandled by Maria when she yelled, "I'm calling you Ming Ming"
WHO IS MING MING!?
AT LEAST NAME ME SOMETHING COOL! He thought, then he was stroked and Maria encouraged others to stroke him as well and Drew would never admit that he liked it and preened to it.
Then Maria took him to her room and brought out several horrifying mini clothes that used to belong to her old dolls.
All women clothe.
Dew tried to run but his body was too hurt to run so before he know it, Maria was trying to put a skirt and bow on him.
Then she got out the make-up.
Make-Up!
Dew let out several sounds of distress, if his throat didn't hurt so much he would be screaming for her to put the make-up down.
In the end, she just thought he liked it and said.
"You look so pretty" She said, as he was dying inside and then to make it worse, she took pictures.
It was going to be enlarged and put in a frame later to further his humiliation.
Then she had him try some more clothes and Dew vowed that as soon as he could protest, he would burn the clothes in front of her or in secret.
Eventually he must have passed out.
Apparently, what he had done in just an hour was too much for his body to handle and he soon passed out.
Thank god.
However, he still didn't like the fact that he fell asleep in dolls clothes.
When he did finally wake up it in the middle of the night and he noticed the little girl who had dressed him up, face, was right beside him and fast asleep.
Drew tried to move his wing's only for an unholy amount of pain to shoot out of them.
It wasn't like he could fly with them anyway.
He was a failure of a Dragon.
And then he thought about the frozen prime meat he had.
It had been delicious.
.

Maybe, after he was healed, he shouldn't leave right away.
And scene!
Next chapter, Maria takes him to school and to her grandpa company. Many people are shocked to see him and he becomes quiet the hot topic. Review/fav and follow!
