A/N: Believe it or not, this event is actually canon. Or so a website centered around the show says. Jane and the Dragon: Royal Archives. In particular, a page titled 'My Magnificient Life', which is pretty much a diary-like account of Dragon's life. However, it...hasn't been updated. For a while...which was part of what inspired me to do this in the first place. Anyhow, enjoy! Questions about what's happening will be answered in review responses, if it's not clear in the actual chapter.
Meeting:
The next time the little dragon awoke, he was not lying on the ground, on the shore, but in a strange cave of some kind. Everything smelled different, and the only thing stranger was what he could see outside. Quite frankly, he had never seen anything like this place before, but it looked as though the place was made of trees. There was also a little star in a ball casting light about the tree-cave, making long and slightly intimidating shadows on the wall, though the little dragon stiffened his resolve and tried to remain unnerved. Though, that did not mean that he did not jump when a part of the tree-cave wall suddenly opened, admitting a rough-looking two-legged who ambled about the room for a moment before sitting on one of the strange wood formations, and doing something that the reptile strained to see.
After a few moments, the two-legged stopped and turned around, looking at the child for the first time since he entered the room. In surprise, the dragon stumbled back, taking on a rather unsteady defensive stance. Though, the human did not look too perturbed. If anything, he seemed to find it funny. Offended by the strange sounds coming from the two-legged's mouth and the condescending mood, the little dragon protested the treatment through squeaks and juvenile growls. In response, the human gave the child a different look, a challenging look, which he returned with a brazen stare of his own.
Whatever this two-legged was going to do with him, the reptile was certainly not about to give him any help, that much was certain.
