Royal Blue and Fluorescent Yellow
"Hold on, mum," Charlie hollered. "I have to tend to the Hungarian Horntails before I can leave… I'll be at least twenty minutes."
It was always something. Charlie could never ever just leave work at the time he was supposed to because some dragon or another was making a fuss. It was hard to know that your son loved dragons more than his own mother.
It was Charlie's birthday so I decided to come to Romania to the shelter where he worked for some quality mother and son time; because Merlin knows we haven't had any of that for ages thanks to his stupid love of dragons.
I leaned over the side of the wall that I was standing by and looked into one of the dragon cages. Down on the ground was a sleeping dragon, and if anyone asked my honest opinion, I would have to say that it did look beautiful. Its scales were all royal blue in color while its belly was a fluorescent yellow. It must have sensed me staring at it because it sat up and looked at me with a curious look.
I stepped back, after all those things did breathe fire, and I knew how many burns Charlie had just because he wouldn't leave them alone. But something was telling me that this creature – this particular dragon – wasn't going to hurt me. I know I sounded insane -and I was stupid for trusting my judgement - but nevertheless I stretched my hand out to touch it.
It was rough and scaly, but it had a smooth texture to it as well. I found myself wondering how a creature that was so tough – he could literally kill you in five seconds flat – could be so soft. The dragon acted much like a dog who wanted his head rubbed would act, so I complied and he actually wagged his tail. At that moment, if anyone had seen this, they would have thought that I spelled him to act like this because no one would ever expect a dragon to be like it. I never would have expected it.
"Oh you found Finnie," Charlie stated coming up behind me with a huge smile on his face. "She's our mother dragon."
That must be why she's so friendly, I thought, because she's a mother.
"Come on, mum," Charlie added. "I'm ready to go."
I followed my second eldest son to the apparition point of the shelter, after finding a new love for a certain creature.
