Well, I must have the infamous writer's block. I haven't been able to think of anything to add to these stories in the last couple of weeks. I'll keep thinking about it & maybe I'll update it later.
Dragon's Zeal
The Last Queen Dragon
Chapter 5
The Golden Egg
The Enterprise rendezvoused with Zegh and Gril on the planetoid called, Wormoid. Gril asked Counselor Troi to officiate in the mating ritual. Wesley, Traveler, Troi, and Riker beamed down to the temple with Grill and the Golden Egg. Gril gave Troi his ceremonial knife to crack open the shell. Troi was thinking that it would be a chick, but hot liquid spilled over her hand and a blood red jelly-stone-yoke rested in her palm. Confused she asked, "Now what do I do? Who gets this?"
At that moment a miniature elephant, about the size of a big Saint Bernard dog, flew in the front door of the temple, just like Dumbo, the storybook flying elephant.
Commander Deanna Troi was too surprise to move and just stood there holding the jelly-stone-yoke in her hand.
The poor creature looked almost dead, whitish-gray in color and labored breathing. He seem just barely able to move. He landed in front of Troi and mad a elegant flourish with his trunk, as if to salute her. Then taking the jelly-stone-yoke from Troi, he flew out the entrance again, around the temple to the right to the side door and ate the yoke.
"What the heck?" Riker exclaimed; incensed that they had all risk their lives and the Enterprise only to have the Golden Egg eaten by something else.
The miniature elephant was barely able to eat the yoke after flying around the temple, he was so near death. Laying there, he started to glow, first red, then orange, then golden. He sprang up, trumpeting loudly, and flew back to Zegh, who was now miniaturized to the size of a Brontosaurus dinosaur, waiting at the front entrance, her head held near the ground in order to look into the temple. The golden glowing flying elephant left a glowing golden auric trail. He cavorted around Zegh, trumpeting all the while. Then he slowly settled to the ground, with a rumbling croon, in front of Zegh, his trunk draped over her beak. The glowing gold faded to orange and then red. The miniature elephant slowly collapsed like the air going out of a balloon, as the glow faded. Zegh nuzzled him lovingly, then, 'CHOMP!' she crushed his head and neck in one bite. Three more chomps and a gulp and Zegh devourer her mate! Both Troi and Riker were horrified at the sight.
Then the temple shook, knocking them all to the ground. The temple started crumbling around them.
"The Wormoid awakens!" yelled Gril as he ran and leaped astride Zegh's neck.
"Evacuate! Evacuate!" cried Traveler.
"Beam us up quick!" exclaimed Wesley.
The quartet was beamed directly to the bridge.
On screen the planetoid was breaking up, unfolding into and elongated shape. "Get us out of here!" Commander Riker bellowed as soon as he'd fully materialized.
