Uploading two chapters at once today because this first one is a bit short but I think they still need the break between them. Anyway, hope you enjoy it.
Dragon awoke in his cave as the sun was just reaching the tips of the trees along the horizon. He yawned loudly and stretched out luxuriously in a movement not dissimilar to that of a waking cat. However Dragon was a good deal bigger than your average house cat, and had anyone been around to comment on the similarity between them Dragon would have had a thing or two to say... or burn. Most of the villagers feared the giant creature and Dragon preferred it that way. As he yawned, Dragon's first thought of the day was of breakfast, before almost instantly shifting to Jane. Dragon was highly protective of his best friend and spent a fair deal of his time worrying about the little short-life. Especially lately. With each consecutive day she grew more and more distant, refusing to speak to him about what was troubling her. Her lack of communication with him bothered him more than he cared to admit. His great stomach shifting beneath him as he stood up, his mind once more switched to breakfast mode. Indecision flooded Dragon, torn between his monstrous hunger and his concern for Jane, when a thunderous rumble from his stomach echoed through his cave making his decision for him. Breakfast first, then he would go find Jane.
