Spring In The Fire Lair

I flopped out dead tired on the ground, and before falling asleep murmured, Hello Hannah. Almost got eaten by Ackos." I snored loudly, but Hannah was probably used to the snoring.

Bored and not the least but sleepy anymore, I asked, "Ackos, who's Ackos?" I walked slowly toward Trisha, near her muzzle. I was used to the snoring by now, not even the loud snoring bothered me.

"Hmmmmmm. Mmmmm?" I mumbled, turning on my side while keeping my eyes closed. Wisps of smoke floated into the air and vanished in the wind. I dreamt about wars and fire breathing against dark fog from the Dark Dragons. In my dream I kept winning, but there were always more dragons. I shuddered and tried to wake up, but it wouldn't work.

I finally jumped awake. "I'm going to the Earth Lair, Hannah." I found myself extremely hungry, so went hunting and caught three fire birds. "Want any?" I asked Hannah while I ate. Shaking my head I answered. "Well, either way here's one more fire bird for you Hannah. I'm going." With that, I took off.

"Bye, Trisha." I said even though she was in the sky. I chewed on a bone of the fire bird and grew bored. I was centainly not sleepy, I wad just bored. A griffin soared the skies, struggling to escape a fast wyvern in flight. I wished there were more hatchlings to play with.

I landed quietly and lightly on my feet, walking up to Hannah. Looking down at her, I asked, "What's wrong?"

"Oh nothing really, I just wish there were more hatchlings." I looked up at Trisha and smiled.

"Me too." I agreed, nodding my head a bit. I flew around a bit before landing, and found my self very bored. "Yes, indeed, I really do wish there were more members."

I nodded again and snorted, walking around. "Trisha, since I am an orphan can you teach me how to hunt?" I asked, lying down.

"Sorry, but no. In order to survive completely, you must go hunting on your own. When ever you want you can go hunting." I answered.

"Oh." I was a bit saddened at this and looked up at Trisha. "I'm hungry." I muttered.

"Me too. I must hunt. I'll be back soon." I flew off, and came back with a deer and a few fire birds. Devouring the deer and leaving one fire bird for Hannah, I lied down happily.

I eat the food Trisha has caught for me. Sighing, I fall asleep. There really wasn't much to do since it was only me and Trisha.

Sleep was one of my many comforts, so I fell asleep. I wonder where all the dragons have gone? Surely there must be more than this on Celilo!

Sleepily, I got up on my feet. I did my best to glide most of the way so I could sneak off without waking Hannah. Stars were hanging in the sky, but the sun was on the horizon. I'll pay my good friend Skylar a visit. I thought, because I knew Hannah often slept a long time. She was still a hatchling after all.

I landed, and began to wander a bit into the forest. I found a family of Wyverns sleeping near a small river and jumped into the air, gliding in a warm breeze. Many new young creatures were hatchling or growing. I landed far away, and then flew back to where Hannah was. I wondered, since she had permission from me of course, if she wanted to go to the Dark Lair. "Hey Hannah, want to see my friends in the Dark Lair? I give you permission."

I woke up and heard what Trisha said. "Of course I would love to go Trisha!" I got up excitedly.

"Alright then!" I carefully picked Hannah up in my claws as I hovered above her, and flew off to the Dark Lair.

I dropped Hannah on the ground lightly, and flew off to the Ice Lair.

I wondered where Trisha was off to now. She acted like the Roamers I had heard of when I was very young. I flapped my immature wings, and headed off into the tropical brush to explore.
