Halloween 2003
Cyan entered the Halloween caverns. The already dark walls where made even darker with the wavering light from the pumpkin candles. Cyan laughed when a very fake skeleton suddenly dangled in front of her.
"Lucas? Where are you?" Cyan yelled.
"Up here!" he called back from his rather uncomfortable space hanging from the wall.
"What are you doing up there?"
"Decorating."
"Shouldn't you watch the eggs."
"I timed them at 11 pm, 31st October."
"Honey... It's 10.55. They are rocking."
"What?"
Lucas jumped from the ladder, leaving 12 bats hanging down from the ceiling.
His hands fumbling nervously with the 13th
"Call the Candidates!"
Suddenly a small black shadow followed by three smaller ones slithered
into the cave.
"Hatching?" the Venus Fly
Trap asked.
"Evilness!" Cyan screamed, "I
told you to stay in the greenroom!"
"As if... now that I know there's a
hatching..." Evilness said, his teeth flickering in the
light of the candles.
"Oh no you're not!" Cyan
said, "Zaranyth!!!"
"Yes rider mine?"
"Keep this little crawler out will
you."
"You don't have to be so mean you
know..." Evilness started.
"Watch him close... and flame him when he
tries to get away."
The look on Zaranyth's face could only be interpreted as a big malicious
grin when she scooped up Evilness and carried him away.
Slowly the candidates filed in. They had been searched far and wide and
some of them had willingly come. Some had even dropped out of the sky,
well that wasn't as unusual anymore Cyan considered. People were talking
and mingling -make that crowding afraid in one corner or bragging about
evil acts in the other- and no-one seemed to be left out.
The first egg suddenly burst open. In perfect silence the black-purple
rolled out of her egg. With a seemingly ghostly glow she headed to the
group that was away from the more violent members of the group of
searched. There she found one she could relate to.
"Ian,"
she spoke, "My name is Diblase... and
I feel sorry for you."
"Diblase..." the haunted man
whispered, "I am free."
Smiling he left the sands followed by his small smoky-winged purple-black
with the interesting looking horns.
Two more eggs cracked and hatched in slightly less perfect silence. Cyan
could swear she heard people shouting 'boo' and 'scared you' in the back
of the cave. But when she looked she saw no-one laughing.
Three dragons walked the sands to the group of candidates. The two smaller
ones that had hatched from the same egg were wingless, but not very
bothered by that. Two neon lines moved at lightning speed through the
cave, one blood red, one black. Suddenly Cyan heard the same voices again.
"Naald!
I'm caught!"
"Me too Draad..."
"Draad! My name is Needle!"
said the neon red streak that had slowed down enough to recognise a very
small black dragoness with red hair and a grey set of needles in stead of
arms.
"And I am Pin, Naald!" said
the black half of the twin. He had arms and legs, but a rather elaborate
set of tailspikes dragging behind him.
Finally the two dragons slowed enough to show that they were in fact
chasing a pair of elves that had been hiding in the commotion.
"Sneaky little elves... they're becoming a
real plague." Lucas told her, "Those
two won't be the last we see of their kind I bet. Halloween is big among
them."
With all the commotion the third dragon had slipped out unnoticed. She
didn't want a bond, in fact she had a whole history filled with issues she
needed to clear up before she could even think of seeking her lover. Gemma,
or Mikun as she had once been named,
flew up with her golden red-sparked wings and soared for the
moon.
Gemma wasn't missed by many when next several eggs hatched again. The
magic of Halloween was already fading 20 minutes past 11. Many of the
dragons in the eggs were struggling to get out in time.
A small light suddenly lighted between the candidates. The fire wielding
cheetah kin Eqahkali held up his light
to distinct more then a mass of wriggling black bodies. Suddenly three
more lights appeared in the cavern. Three dragons unfolded their wings and
a blast of orange-red light lit the cavern like it was midday.
The first dragon, with oddly shaped wings approached Eqahkali, careful not
too burn anyone with his flaming arms and legs. He sat down in front of
the kin, lighting his face from below giving him that spooky ghost-story
effect.
"My name is Vlodzon...
Shielding Light Vlodzon.
I am not as powerful as you,"
he said, "But I am trustworthy."
he continued winking at his two fiery siblings still standing on the
sands, "unlike them."
The male Fire hissed when Vlodzon said that but was held down by the
female that just glared and then stepped into the group of more violent
candidates. She headed towards the two smallest of the group of humans and
chose the little pyromaniac girl called Alana.
There she coughed up a small ball of flames and 'accidentally' set a table
cloth on fire just behind Eqahkali and his Vlodzon.
"Oops..." she said, "Alana,
I am Vuur'Zee."
"You're fun!" the girl
giggled and then left the holiday cavern.
The male fire also searched between the violent candidates. He too had
some warm-blooded character in his mind for bonding. He headed straight to
two sisters, one cold and unappealing, the other warm, feisty and
passionate. It was her he embraced, the fire of his wings warming her
beyond what she had ever felt. Her pale skin even started blushing a bit.
"Oh... Inferno." Brir
said dreamily as she looked in the whirling blue eyes.
"Hey! Keep him away." Her
sister Ryisiti said, "He's
too hot."
"Never fear... Gneiss is
here." a strange dark-ice-blue said. Her wings were black
and ripped, riddled with wholes and crevices. She stepped closer and immediately
the temperature dropped.
"That's better!" the red
girl said looking rather angry at her sister... maybe she should freeze
her in stead of people she didn't know.
Another hatchling, a dragon that looked evil from the moment she had left
her shell with bloodred eyes, a black body and carrot-orange hair slashed
around violently with her wings. She bugled when a few candidates jumped
back terrified. But all fun must come to an end -sadly, but true- and the
end for this dragon's fun was cut short by a long thin dark man with black
hair that didn't need gel to stand upright.
"Metassia."
Hypnos
called out, withstanding the look from her eye.
"What mine?"
"How dare you call that fun? You haven't
lived until you kill someone."
The glare in the dragon's eyes told everyone else in the room that she was
coming close to taking his advice... but to everyone's surprise she
followed the mysterious man.
"This killing in dreams.... Can I be
bigger?" candidates at the edge of the cavern heard her
say when they left the cavern.
Inspired by this little fun-tastic display of having a good time. More
dragons on the sands started displaying their powers and generally
creating a chaos. Cyan looked at it with weary eyes.
"I'm glad Evilness isn't here to organise them to a giant riot-team." Cyan said.
One pair of frolicking dragons, a blood-red fanged dragoness and a
brown-black spotted male, suddenly growled at each other, snapping their
teeth and raking their claws through the air. Suddenly the vampire-dragon
scanned the crowds for reinforcement. She found it in the form of another
vampire female named Shynn.
"Same!" she called out, "Help
me to suck this little piece of filth dry before we feed him to the
dogs!"
"I would make you choke."
the other dragon called back, "You don't
mess with the Spotted Death!"
"Spotted Death, come on... Couldn't you
think of anything better?"
"Had you rather liked the Excruciating
Disease?" the male asked to the panther-halfling.
"I don't think so, Pest." Ohanzhee
said as he closed into his dragon.
"Then Spotted Death it is!"
he smiled. "And I will make sure your death
is painful."
"Hey stupid! I'm already death." the blood smiled, "You
can't beat Blood Sabella!"
At that time Lucas and Cyan moved to the two quarrelling dragons.
"Take it outside if you have to fight."
Lucas said.
"And you," Cyan said to the
riders, "Make sure they don't kill each other."
Slightly after the peace returned two small twin dragons stepped into the
light. Their black wingless bodies sucked up the light and their blood-red
spikes and daggers glowed bright as the male stopped and whispered
something in the females ear. It was such an unusual display that Cyan
only stared. Dragons always spoke to each other with telepathy... What
were these two doing?
Suddenly they skipped and flip-flopped into the audience like two skilled acrobats
and found their way to -as expected- two more elves. These two examples of
mischief were called Aorta and Sanguin.
They were blood elvens that had registered for the Halloween clutch a few
days ago.
"Aorta, my name is Sawblade Handle."
said the female.
"And I am Sawblade Teeth."
smiled the male.
Cyan was quite surprised to see the elvens impress dragons -even such
small examples as these- that were clearly evil. She was even more
surprised when the two elvens giggled, hopped on the dragon's backs and
speeded out.
Cyan wasn't given much time to think. A dark black-red figure suddenly
emerged out of the shadows. The hatchling looked rather strange with his
big floppy ears and his many horns. Yawning he moved across the hot sands
in a way that could only be described as comical before he stopped in
front of Jonathan, aka
Punkun, and
introduced himself: "My name is
Damask." he said bowing, the ends of his ears touching
Jonathan's face. "Can we go eat now? I'm
rather peckish."
Jonathan shrugged. "Sure."
About halfway through the hatching this time there was no rest, no
silence. Halloween was drawing to a close and more dragons urgently
bonded. Next to make the leap was a tiny white-feathered red snake that
flew toward the hitman that had
arrived only that day.
"Targer, " it buzzed, flying
from one side of his head to the other, "I'm
violent spirit Feather."
Then more silently it whispered, "We should
have some fun... You feel angry, very angry..."
Luckily at that time, another dragon, a strange gold-copper metallic,
walked past, his wings making an echoing sound as they hit the small
winged snake, knocking him out of concentration. The metallic, unaware of
what had happened stopped in front of Son of Man
and said:
"Let me just call me Joe and you can call me
Clasp, k?"
The sun God with smiled and said, the sword in his mouth moving again:
"That's fine with me, Clasp."
After these hatchings a faded green light wavered on and off as a
dragonesk form moved through a wall. The ghost (for what else moves
through walls) stopped for a second when people stared at her, she
screamed a loud and piercing cry that made everyone with functioning ears
hold their hands to their ears. But not all stood like that. There
were ghosts among the candidates. There was Dailnick, the cursed
restaurant owner who held bloody parties every night. But the ghost didn't
focus on him long. Longer she waited when she spotted the wraith girl
Cordalina.
Now that was a spirit she could go with.
A soft whispering sound, like autumn leaves: "Cordalina...
I am Spook. Take me away from here. Now..." her form
wavered again when she came close to Cordalina. The two of them faded and
appeared at the exit of the cavern.
Dailnick was still looking a bit
disappointed at the exit when he felt something tickling his ear. He
looked up and was covered with a 4 metre snake oozing poison from
his back.
"I ssshall have to punishhh you for that
infidelitchy, Dailnixck. My name is Terazss."
"You are better than anything that ghost
could have done." Dailnick said, envisioning scenes and
wonderfully graphic images of dead and fear.
Saichu, the little-bunny child stood
close to the entrance. His mother had told him to stay there with her. But
she had gone out a little while ago. This was his chance, Saichu knew. If
he didn't get closer he wouldn't get a dragon.
Carefully he hopped closer, his soft yellow ears pricking the ear to hear
better what was going on. Crowds parted and suddenly he stood eye to eye
with a small black-vague red dragon.
"Saichu." he said, 'Me
and my sister have been waiting for you."
"You did?" the boy asked
happily.
"We did. My name is Sha'Liz, and my sister's
is Lisz'Ha."
"You are so beautiful..." he
said.
"More, we are hungry... Can you spot us a
spirit to feed on?"
The remaining candidates in the cavern still could
not see well what exactly was happening on the sands. They could see
movement and coloured eyes. They could hear smashing eggshells and the
sounds of feet on sand.
Another ghost swirled out of the blackness in the centre and approached
ghosts that had showed up late. The three men stood staring at the dragon
approaching. The journey to this place was vague and seemed illogical to
them and still they were here.
"Yse." the feathered ghost spoke.
"I shall accompany you...
to kill and maim and murder."
Eyes flared red.
"But wait, I see I'll need followers."
The ghost let out a screech and two more ghostly figures were drawn out of
the shadows. They didn't seem too happy with their new status.
"My name is Havik." said the first ghost to
Yse,
"and these
are yours." he said nodding to the two others.
"Sarvass." said the webbed male, floating only a few inches
above the ground.
"Pa'Arda."
said the female with the long black hair, gliders and
legs that were oddly shaped for jumping.
The ghosts vanished before cyan had scribbled down their names. This
hatching was turning out to have quite a few busy dead people in it. Why
didn't they stay for food? Beside the fact that they couldn't eat, it could
be fun for them. She shrugged.
The next to emerge from the swirling pool of vileness in the middle was a
tall bright red female. She walked past, the long nails on her paws lifted
up so they wouldn't break. The dragoness stopped in front of
Tavarius,
the unfortunate vampire.
"Tavarius... " she said,
"I am Indrah and I don't care much
for blood... how do you feel about intestins?"
"Neutral."
Tavarius said.
"Than I shall follow you."
The swirling black abated for a moment when a tall beautiful woman,
striding across the cave, passed all the people in front of her. The other
candidates, making way for something bigger than her present features,
felt a tinge of blackness creeping by as the woman passed. They could have
sworn a cape of black flowed behind her, but there was nothing of the sort
that could be seen.
The woman, Kyytalan walked to the very edge of the swirling blackness. The
evils, bloodthirsties and even some carnages looked at her in awe and
tried to take the places the lessers had vacated.
But it was an egg that finally got the chance to reach her first. The
shell burst away and the dragon falling out was black with bloodred wings
and golden ornaments. A mask covering it's face gave it a mysterious look.
"Hurt me, Kyytalan." the
dragon spoke.
"I'm sure I will, Geotic."
the woman smiled back, "if you're a bad
dragon."
Outside Evilness was slithering across the Sands, trying to reach the
entrance to the holiday cave. But the two greens glared at him and lashed
their tails in front of the entrance. Sighing the venus fly trap slithered
back and closed his eyes, trying to think of a way to get in.
Suddenly however he heard an unusual noise. A human! But the steps of this
human sounded strange, like there were pans swinging together in the
distance. When the sound was close enough, Evilness opened his eyes and
saw a metal man approaching. Hissing he leapt toward the man who stumbled
back to Evilness' delight. The ground fell away from under
Jack's
feet and the pirate stumbled down the stairs swearing and shouting.
"Hey!" Evilness whispered, "I
should be down there not you!"
Without thinking he tried to leap after the man, but before he could do so
Zaranyth returned and lashed her tail around him.
"Come!" she roared in his
mind and took him outside, dangling like a powerless hatchling.
Downstairs in the cavern, Jack was all too aware of the eyes upon him. He
was trying to decide whether to run or fight in his new 'acquired' armour
when galloping hooves suddenly sounded. The crowds parted and racing
toward him he saw two small horse-like creatures. Unlike horses however
their tail was like a reptile's, ending in a spiked ball. Their heads were
protected by helmets with elaborate feathers.
The female medieval, with the purple feathers, stepped forward and said: "I
know you aren't a real knight... but I bet you know where to find some for
us to play with."
"What?" Jack said, turning
around to establish the source of the voice.
"Yoo-hoo! Down here!" the red-feathered male said,
"My sister meant you are now stuck with us." the male
smiled, his teeth very white and sharp in the faded light, "My
name is Goeiendag, and my sister's is Mace. Remember them and we'll be
friendly."
The pirate was led out by Maira and her Dresynith to get a very short
notice crash course on dragon-management. To her surprise Jack wanted to
leave as soon as he heard about his new friend' abilities. Jack of course
only wanted to be out before Arthur was found, that knight would ruin
everything.
Fewer forms were now visible through the fog that covered the sands. Now
and then an eye blinked, watching the surrounding candidates. Finally a
form stepped forward. A dragon, a greyish dark red, with black-brown
patterned wings stepped forward. Though obviously male he left all the
male candidates standing where they were, only casting an evil glance
their way. Then the male dragon, his red crest swaying a bit as he
advanced, walked toward the females.
But before he got there, one of the males stepped forward.
"Come with me." the man said, "I
know we can get to like each other..." he tried desperate
to get a bond now that eggs were running low.
The dragon stood perfectly still. He looked at the man before him, low, despicable...
No man would ever do for Kieken, master of the hen house.
Kieken extended a paw and placed it on the males leg. Believing the dragon
had given in the man bowed down to look into Kiekens eyes. Mistake. Within
seconds a scream sounded. The man turned, his eyes empty sockets. "You
will never gaze upon me again." Kieken said with a tone
that warned anyone else to try and stop him, "Greed
is a sin." a cruel laugh sounded through the heads of
those that were present.
"Now then, " Kieken
continued, "It's time that I announce my
real bond. Cyna, step forward please... and watch out for the blood, it's
slippery." The former slave with her dark brown hair and
functional clothing advanced, feeling very good about herself that she had
left her daughter in Ryslen.
"Why do you fear that I would hurt her? Will
I not be the guardian of your house? No woman will ever need fear me...
the men though... Well I am still evil...." A flash of red
lighted his amber eyes, so fast that it was gone before
Cyna
had seen it properly. Still without saying a word out loud she led Kieken
outside where he could devour something, though be it that he didn't eat
much. What happened to those eyeballs anyway?
After that bloody performance -keeping the best for last as in most of the
time- the fog lifted a bit. No dragons were on the sands, but 7 eggs still
lay in the midst of the turmoil. Suddenly one burst open, it literally
exploded, shards flying in all directions. Out rolled two dragons. Blade
shimmered as they started fighting. The fog was drawn around their jumping
bodies and the candidates could hear more eggs cracking, smashed and
broken by the wild dance of the twins. But no dragons left the safety of
the dark. With only 10 minutes to go the left over candidates were
starting to get nervous.
After what seemed an eternity, but was again only a minute, one of the two
fighting dragons rolled out. It was the female, her hide and hair a set of
colours that could only be dubbed 'faded sunset', a spiral black mark
around her eye distorted her gaze, making her seem angry, though she
wasn't. Could anyone be angry after such good a fight? After she had
finally tasted the freedom of the world that was outside the shell she had
shared with her brother? Repositioning her short blades she ran toward the
females and stopped before she fully reached them. Before her stood
Dreadeth,
a black and white dragon with a distinct hate for humans.
"I get the feeling you don't want to be
here." Atameh declared.
"What's it to you?" Dreadeth
answered.
"I think we would get along." Atameh
said, "So what about it?"
"I guess..." Dreadeth
shrugged. She could always abandon the little squirt if she didn't like
being bonded.
Not much later the second fighter-dragon's head popped out of the void.
The male half of the twin, Twilight grey in stead of faded sunset, saw his
sister bonding and decided it was unfair that she should get enforcement
and he was still alone. However he would choose no dragon bond. No, a
flexible human with his skill with swords was what he craved and found in
Vorian.
"Master Vorian," he said, "It
is my turn to be adopted."
"Then I shall teach you, Saber."
Vorian said and nodded.
The sword master picked up her swords that she had left at the entrance,
checked them and was pleased to find no-one had had any ideas about them.
Together with Saber she left the hatching cavern.
Trix was having a last check on Evilness. They had left him alone for
quite some time now and plans don't take that long too pop up in Evilness'
head. Cyan, who was now in charge of the fragile peace in the cave, looked
around at the last candidates, the one more evil than the other.
Cyan's eye fell on a tiger who was sitting patiently, waiting to impress.
The gold-like fur of the tiger shined softly in the pail light of
candles. Normally Cyan would have wondered how a tiger could have become a candidate,
but it was Halloween after all...
The tiger slapped her strong tail against the warm sands of the cave. No
doubt was in her eyes. She was just looking at one single movement.
The egg cracked and small pieces flew off. Cyan could see the top of a
wing sticking out, soft red spots on a dark black wing.
The tiger stood up and her blue intelligent eyes were focussed on the now
cracked egg.
When a dark dragon with a deadly silver mask and ripped wings emerged form its
egg, the tiger sat again. The phantom dragon lifted his head and a
terrible growl made the cave tremble. Then it looked at the tiger.
'Let me see your human form
Caoiloch,
To see you are worthy.'
The tiger changed slowly in a long legged woman with long blond wavy hair.
She looked teasingly at the dragon.
'I'm more than worthy for you Zangre.'
She told the phantom dragon.
'I'll agree if you let me torture those who
crossed the line.'
Caoiloch waited long enough for Cyan to get a heart attack and recover
from it. Cyan just hoped the two would impress and leave everything
untouched.. Then Caoiloch smiled.
'I think we will get along great.'
Together they left the hatching grounds and Cyan couldn't stop herself from sighing. Lucas saw her and smiled apologising. Cyan looked
angry, but then smiled back.
Not long after Caoiloch and Zangre had left another egg began to rock violently. But everybody's attention was drawn
away from the egg when a
violent wind filled the cave making all the sand blow up and into the
faces of candidates and other people. Cyan wondered where Trix was as she
covered her eyes against the sting the sand. Trix could handle these things better than
she could. Next time she would look after Evilness and Trix would have to stay here.
Nobody could see anymore, but if they could, they would have seen that a
pail and fragile man stepped out of the portal and onto the sands. Not
once did he blink or even cover his eyes for the flying sand.
The man was mumbling something in a strange language. Only the name
Marquish could be heard. Cyan didn't even want to know what that meant. The sand
calmed down again as the dark portal closed and now Cyan could see
the man. Sweat pearled on his forehead and blood dripped out of a fresh
wound. She followed the man's eyes and saw that the egg had hatched into another
dragon. It seemed that the dragon was very dangerous.. She was carrying a
scythe and swinging it through the air. The question of how nobody had
gotten hurt until now popped into Cyan's mind. But it was soon gone when
the impression took place.
'I'm nobody's pet. But I would like to know more about Marquish.. It seems
that he is mighty. But not as mighty as you.. For all you are the one who
does everything.'
The man smiled at the dragon.
'I can allready see how we are going to conquer the world, Ithea, and make
everything ours in name of Marquish.'
'Indeed.. And a lovely picture it is Wernlak.'
Cyan watched the pair go reluctantly. But hope flashed in her eyes when
Trix returned. She nearly threw herself in her sister's direction and
hastily started talking.
"We need to monitor those two... They're
planning on taking over the planet."
"As are half the other other pairs." Trix said, "I'll
have Ersatz show them the portal out when the dragons can teleport. She's
bound to listen... after all she looks kind of friendly compared to some
of these guys."
Only then did Cyan notice Trix hadn't come in alone. A man was following
her. He looked so normal that Cyan almost thought he was at the wrong
cave. But surely, as soon as he entered the sands, a sickeningly
orange-yellow dragoness leapt out of the swirling blackness and placed
herself before him.
"I waited and I waited!" she
shouted, lurching closer to the man, spitting with what appeared to be
white foam and green mucus. Cyan felt sick.
"And finally, here you are. Late. I hope
you're not going to be late any more."
"Late has so many meanings," Escher
said. "Now... What's your name?"
The dragon swung her head around with a vicious snarl, "you
can't tell?"
"Rabies!" He cried out with
glee.
Before the Laedrysses could discuss a few of the problems, or the new
impressions another two dragons stepped forward out of the dark. These two
definately belonged in the category Lesser Evil. In fact they belonged in
the category Lesser. There was no evil to be seen in their eyes. The
female, a soft beige dragoness with blond hair rather seemed sad. She
looked around at the three remaining candidates and picked out the old
gentlemen.
"Theodore, " she
said, "How I have yearned for you..."
"Then let us not dawdle, milady Thassia. I
have our transport ready." They vanished in thin air
before Trix could even blink. She sighed appreciating after her brain had
registered the exit... she wished all evil impressions could go as smooth
as that one.
"Figures that would happen with a
less." Cyan said from the corner of her mouth.
Meanwhile, the second dragon, a light blue male with opal-frosted wings,
sat shivering on the sands. He was the only dragon around, but he had a
certain look in his eyes that drove nails through whoever looked into
them. He was frightened to death. Finally the two remaining candidates
stepped toward him. They had waited longer than they would have on the
regular sands, possibly weary for traps and ambushes. But as they
approached the sands stayed quiet.
"Ilyena" the dragon suddenly
cried out.
Startled Ilyena stopped, but then ran closer to the dragon. "Don't
worry Immer, I'm here."
"Never leave me...."
The last egg, only one candidate. Mecate put all her hope on it. She had told
Khana that she would impress but now she wasn't so sure anymore. The egg cracked and a shadow of grey fell out.
"Mecate... "
Mecate turned and looked in the blind white eyes of the grey dragon that had hatched. A name echoed in her head, but that one couldn't be right.
"I am Dark Justice Penitence," The dragon helped showing a gold-handled obsidian blade to her chosen.
"I am rankless, powerless, but not purposeless. I may be blind but I see crime and I will punish it. You as I aren't worthy of praise and that is why we will forever stay
without praise. That will be our punishment, to make up for the things gone
wrong."
The sounds of 33 dragons clanging their tails against the cave heralded the twelfth hour.
Midnight and officially a new day.
"Halloween is over... at last." Cyan said.
"Sad, isn't it?" said Lucas.
Cyan looked at her love a bit foolishly... Did he really mean that? She
wasn't exactly sure, but she couldn't spot anything in his face that
seemed to indicate a joke.
"Tomorrow you can start working at the
Christmas Clutch. I'll help you with that one. Maybe some smaller
winter-themed plant clutch to go along with it."
"Would you do that?"
"Sure. It's not like I have much work in Winter."
A sudden crash of sound interrupted their conversation.
"Dragons!!! It's me. Evilness come to bond
you!"
"I'm sorry Evilness... You're too
late."
Evilness scurried between the broken shells trying to find one more egg buried
under the sand. But there were no eggs left. Moping he slithered away
again mumbling something about:
"Next time.... Hydras here I come."
"Do you think he'll sabotage the run?"
Lucas asked.
"Nah... Could he?"
