Dragons to Behold

Chapter 2: Spyro and Warfang

I woke up. She's still here, and still asleep. I tried not to wake her, because she was so beautiful when she was asleep. I moved a little because I was uncomfortable. I still woke her. She move a little then stood up. I did the same, and we said good morning to each other. She asked "Ready to go?" I replied "I am." She stepped outside and spread her wings, and launched into the air. I figured it was my turn, as she turned around and waited patiently. I haven't flown in years, so I wasn't in the air immediately, but I learn fast and soon I was flying as fast as Alia was. We were on our way to Warfang.

"How much farther is it?" I asked, after an hour. Alia answered "You'll see it, we're really close.'' Minutes after she said it, I saw a massive city. It was filled with buildings build at high at we were flying (Near 500 feet to be exact). When we flew lower, I saw shops, roads, walkways, and parks. That wasn't what amazed me. Once we landed, all I saw then were moles, cheetahs, and dragons. I was at the cave, alone, but if there are more cities like this, I'm sure I'll never be alone again. Alia saw my face, and she laughed. She had a nice laugh. She said "so, how do you like it?" I say "it's amazing, truly incredible, and almost as beautiful as you." I realize what I blurted out and I panic. I close my eyes so I don't see her reaction. Kill me kill me kill me kill me kill me kill me. I open my eyes and I see she is looking at me. "Thanks, Asyree, but I think we should get moving." She says, awkwardly. But just before we flew to where she lived, I saw her smile wide. Does she….? I decided to let it go for now.

We made it to her home, just inside the city. Once we landed, I saw that there was trouble. During the flight, Alia told me that since her parents, you know, she lived with her uncle, who she described to me as the nicest person she ever knew. Her cave though, made by moles, was owned by a greedy dragon who seemed to accept payments from people who stayed in any of the caves. However, that dragon, named Val, would demand payments weeks to months earlier and even double it because he wanted more money. If the demands aren't met, he would lock you in the house (which is pretty sadistic), come in and destroy your belongings, or kick you out, and on the last two options. Today, though, he broke all of their belongings and they were outside, arguing. Alia and I pushed through the growing crowd.

Alia's uncle, Alio, shouted "First, you demand 3 more pieces of silver, and then you want it 3 months earlier, what more do you want!? My wings and bones too?!

Val retorted "I don't give a damn. I want the payment!

"Well, you can learn to wait!"

"These are my caves, so my rules!"

"Should I tell Terrador of your greediness?"

"Who gives a damn?" I don't care what you do. You pay. You stay. THAT'S THAT.

Anger built up inside me. Val was greedy and all he wanted was his payment and riches. I stepped into the circle and yell at Val "SHUT THE HELL UP!"

Any conversations that were happening immediately stopped.

"Val,what's you problem?" I yelled

"This doesn't concern you, it is between me and Alio.

"It concerns me now" I say

"Leave now and you will not be hurt"

I became even angrier, and while I became angry, an electrical spark flashed near me. Alia saw it and I heard her whisper "Electric sparks are yellow, not gray. I continued in my anger.

"Let it go Val, lower the price and increase the payment deadline, then we all go home."

"Shut up, before I make you.

"GO AHEAD, TRY! The electric energy around me grew and more sparks flew.

"THAT'S ENOUGH" A new voice said.

We all turned around and I nearly fainted.

A large, green dragon with brownish red wing membranes, torn from previous fights, walked up past me to Val.

"I thought I told you to stop treating dragons this way." The dragon said, now calm.

O-oh, Terrador, h-how are y-you?

Terrador turned, and walked off, saying "Don't make me come back out again. You respect your customers or lose your job and all of your belongings.

Once Terrador's back was turned, Val approached me, fuming "Look at what you've done! I'll make you suffer!"

Immediately, Val charged at me. Instead of running or remotely being scared, my anger peaked.

His horns were but feet away from me and before impact, Alia screamed "NO"

BOOM!

I caught his horns and stopped him completely. Everyone, including Alio and Alia, gasped.

Val tried to force me back, but I hadn't moved an inch.

"My turn"

I threw him up with ease, and knocked him back with my tail.Val flew into one of the caves he owned and crashed in. Luckily it had no occupants.

By now, Terrador had seen enough.

This time he walked up to me, and spoke two words "follow me."

So, Alio, Alia, and I follow Terrador in flight to where my adventure starts.

Ugh, finally done, so what do you think? Good so far? Chapter 3 on the way.
