Snakes and Dragons(chapter 2)
Acidicus POV
I slithered my way to the meeting room. The generals except for Pythor are going to discuss what to do about Garmadon and the stone army. "He is trying...to control us. He must...be stopped." Fangtom told us. I'll admit I wasn't very interested in what they were saying,the scouts found some parchments of writing that weren't normal. I looked at the stone carvings with interest. "Acidicus,are you even listening?!" Skales shouted,snapping me back to reality. "Sorry,Skales. It's just this writing...I think we need to figure out who or what made this." I told him. "Why? It's not even close to what we need to do! We need to get rid of Garmadon!" Skalidor yelled. He's so annoying,yet he's my best friend. "Yet maybe who made this...will help us." Fangtom said. "Good point. Okey,Acidicus. What's your theory?" Skales approved. "Okey,let's see. Notice how the markings are made either with strait or curved lines. Whoever made this couldn't hold a pencil. And why use a rock? This was made of clay from deep inside a mountain,yet it's as warm as fire,maybe hotter! So the tree facts we have now is that they can't hold a pencil,live in a cave and has some source of EXTREME heat." I explained to them. "Good. Now we need a decoder and were set." Skales said. But something told me we needed more than a decoder,we needed the one who wrote this writing...soon.
Maraposa POV
I was walking in what was seemed to be called the toxic bogs. "I don't see why it is toxic,the water is merely acid." I muttered to myself. Perhaps creatures on this planet get hurt when they come into contact with acid. Me,on the other hand it burns the dirt and filth off of my scales,horns,claws and helps heal my wounds. I eased my way into the bog,letting each step bring me closer and deeper into the acid. "My wings will need the help,they got pretty damaged by Eddie in the fight,plus I lost my scrolls." I told myself. I dived into the acid and using my tail as a rotor,glided through the river. All I heard when I surfaced was a scream. There,in the acid with me was a snake like creature with green scales.
Acidicus POV
I went to the bogs later that evening. The calming currents helped me think better and sleep deeper. While floating adrift in my own thoughts,I felt something scaly,yet not in a snake way brush by me. I opened my eyes to see a emerald green DRAGON right in front of me! I quickly yelled before diving beneath the surface. Like that would help! What was I thinking?! I saw the dragon had four curved claws on three of its legs. On one there was only three. The claws were sharped to perfection,almost as though they've been scratched on...rocks. The dragon wrote those carvings! I bursted to the open air,gasping at that thought. The dragon was still staring at me with its...no,her lime green eyes. They...they were amazing. I,I could stare into them forever. That's what she wants,I have to leave! She's going to eat me if I don't! But,those eyes...those beautiful eyes...
Maraposa POV
He just kept staring. Staring right into my eyes. I knew my dragon magic had worked. Those who dare to look at a dragon head on become Mesmerized by the beauty of the dragon. He must really like me if he's this deep into the trance,I had better get back home and get him back to shore. I took him lightly in my claw and began to swim back to land. Only then did I remember that the trance only lasted if we kept eye contact.
Acidicus POV
She...she picked me up! I finally got control of my body again and began to squirm. I had to get out before she eats me! "W...WAIT! I...I didn't mean to trespass! H...honest! Please...please don't hurt me!" I begged the dragoness. We reached the shore a few moments later. I felt her put me down on the ground and nuzzle my stomach. She...she wasn't going to-? "No...nononononono! PLEASE!" I yelled as loud as I could. The dragon took a few paces back,opened her wings which seemed to be covered with battle scars as far as I could see and took off. Thank the great devourer this dragon showed me mercy,but I might not be so lucky next time.
