Chapter 2-Elliah's point of view
The Village burned and fell apart building by building. I found myself strangely calm considering the situation. I held my older brothers hand as we ran through the village. The sound of people screaming and panicking scared me more than the dragon itself. I actually thought the dragon was cute, a little short tempered but cute. We weren't far from the village when the dragon turned to look at me. For a very long second I froze with fear. I then ran away screaming. My older brother, Ander called after me but I could hardly hear him over my own screams and the sounds of panic from around the village.
When I was out of the village I sat behind a rather tall and wide tree. I laughed with relief whilst wondering why I was so scared, the Monstrous Nightmare didn't want to hurt me, did it. "You know the tree isn't going to protect you from dragon fire" I heard my older brother casually say at the side of me. I looked up at him and casually smiled "Its a better shield than you''. I said with a smile ''Well I don't think we should test that theory" He smiled at me and offered me his hand. I love my big brother, although he still says that I'm too brave and couriers even now. I in return simply think he's too cautious.
A search party was sent out to find and kill the Monstrous Nightmare. The thought of killing it pained me so much. Me and Ander tagged along. I was cautious and wanted to explore. Ander didn't want to go, but in the end he had to "Can't be having you lost in an avalanche now" He said to me in a joking tone before heavily sighing.
After an exhaustingly long walk we finally got to the entrance of the cave. "I'm going in" I said with a cheery and happy tone before running into the cave. I could hear some of the Vikings moaning behind me but I didn't care. I knew how excitable and hard to handle I could be. I just couldn't help it, I just wanted to do exciting stuff, go places, explore. Not much has changed these days.
I carefully moved down the stone path that lead down to...to..well lets just say I found the Monstrous Nightmare dead. The happy expression on my face faded and I found myself staring at the dragon with eyes full of sympathy and sadness. I wanted to cry. Being careful I approached the dragon. A few tears escaped from my eyes and I felt my throat tighten up. As I got rather close to the dragon I heard a little sound near my feet. When I looked I saw two baby dragons one green, one red. I wiped my eyes and knelt down to take a closer look at them "Oh I'm so sorry little cutie's" they looked up at me. I could see the sadness in their eyes. Tears purred from my eyes as I reached down to them. They both jumped onto my arms. I then heard Ander from around the corner. At that moment I looked panicked. They can't kill them. They just can't. I thought to myself.
My older brothers face was a picture. He had no idea what to do and I really didn't want the dragons killed. After some pleading and crying from me Andar decided that we would take the dragons back to the village. We hid them under our jackets. Now that I think back how did we manage that?
I slept like a baby that night knowing that my new little friend Ruby was asleep next to me.
Her shoulder length, mousey blond hair blows in the slight breeze as she writes in her little black journal. Ruby looks over her shoulder. The blood red Monstrous Nightmare lightly rubs against her. She turns and looks at Ruby. She smiles and gently strokes the dragon. "Hey Elliah", a male voice calls from above. "Lets fly" She smiles up at him before getting onto Ruby's back "Bet you can't keep up with me" she says cheerfully as Ruby lifts up from the ground. both Ruby and Emerald speed off, as Elliah and Andar command them with enthusiasm. The dragons speed off.
"So ten years past and dragons are now our friends so we have nothing to fear. Not that we feared our own dragons in the first place. Me and my brother don't have a lot of what you would call family so overall Ruby and Emerald are our family. We love our dragons and our dragons love us, and when its time to fly we never say no"
