"The humans thought that dragons were huge, evil, and mean creatures. But, luckily, they were wrong!" Boulder states, "Now the Night-Fury, they got everything right, except the size. All that we know about the Night-Furies is that they are extremely rare, their scales are hard as steel and that once they choose to trust and protect someone, they will stop at nothing to insure that person's safety."
"Wow … Thank for the info, Boulder." I say as I slowly walk out of the room.
As I exit the room I bump into Sage.
"Sorry, Sir" he says.
"No, no, it's my fault;" I say before adding "and didn't I tell you to call me Thunder, not Sir? Like I said then, we are all equal."
"Oh yeah, sorry Si- uhh Thunder." He says.
"Sage, I'm going on patrol, and I'm leaving you in charge." I say.
"Th-Thanks!" he stutters, looking happily surprised.
"Where are you hiding?" I murmur to myself as I stare at the chard metal heap. Then I remember why I had come back to the 'carcass' in the first place, boulder had told me that dragons eat fire worms; which
gather around or under fires. As I search, I start to let my thoughts wander.
Five minutes later, I snap back to reality when I get the feeling of somebody, or something, watching me. Then I hear it, the sound of metal moving! I quickly whirl around and see the Night-Fury sitting on top of a collapsed metal shelf. When he sees I have 'food' in my hands, he takes on a look of friendliness and innocence, "Hmm; he almost looks like a kitten." Of course I've never seen a live kitten, but I have seen pictures.
As he slowly creeps forward, I notice he has a strange, jagged, white-yellow line on his tail-fins. "It almost looks like a lightning bolt." I think to myself. Then, without thinking, I say "Hi, my name's Thunder."
"Hmm, the strange robot I saved the other night is back." I think to myself as I land lightly on a piece of metal that is being warmed by the sunlight. Just as I put my full weight on it, it groans in protest. Then the little robot freezes, and quickly spins around to face me.
That's when I notice he has some delicious fire worms, now I haven't eaten in three days, and I'm getting desperate for food, so I put on my most innocent look and slowly creep forward. As I begin to eat I hear him say "Hey, my names Thunder."
"Thunder, huh? I like it." I think to myself, "I think I'll stick around this guy."
"Nice to meet you, my name's Lightning." I 'thought speak'. When I see the stunned expression on his face, I start laughing to myself.
"But dragons can't talk! I must be going crazy!" he says to himself.
"No, you aren't going crazy, and all dragons can 'thought speak',
most just don't know how." I tell him.
