The big dragon had appeared out of nowhere. At first, Hikari hadn’t been sure, if it was a nice dragon or nor, as he was a half-dragon himself. But the dragon had licked its jaws and approached Hikari with a dark, greedy smile, so the drafox had known at once, it was no good idea to stay. He had tried to escape, first by running, then flying. It had been a very long hunt. But the big dragon had not given up until Hikari had become tired. Very tired. After landing and running again, the dragon had come nearer and nearer, then jumped, and it was over. Now the drafox was lying on his back, pinned down by the dragon’s front paw, and above him, there was the head of the big purple-blue-red dragon, with a dark smile on its face and slobber running down its lower jaw. It was the most hopeless situation the drafox had ever been in.
Hikari struggled and tried to scratch or bite his catcher, but the powerful dragon paw didn’t let go of him. And before the drafox could do any more, the hungry dragon lowered its head and closed its big predatory jaws round Hikari’s head. It was very hot and slimy inside the dragon’s maw, and the drafox felt a big soft tongue push his head against the palate. He was afraid the dragon might bite him, but he just felt the points of the teeth tickling a bit. Hikari panicked, he put his paw on the dragon’s lower jaw and wanted to pull himself out of the slippery maw. It didn’t work. The drafox felt the strong dragon tongue coil round his neck and pull him deeper, towards the dark abyss of the throat. It all happened so fast. Before Hikari could scream, the strong throat muscles grabbed his head, squeezed it and pushed it down into the tight insides of the dragon’s neck. Hikari struggled and still tried to push himself out again, or to scratch the dragon’s snout. But a moment later, the dragon’s paw grabbed Hikari’s paw, and started to shove the drafox greedily inside. Hikari felt warm sticky saliva run down his body and had the feeling that the dragon’s maw got more and more slippery. That was no wonder, as the drafox was apparently a very mouth-watering prey, and the dragon snorted delightfully, though Hikari could barely hear it. He was stuck inside the throat and got swallowed bit by bit, heavily massaged and squeezed by the muscles, so it was very hard to breathe. And it was hard for Hikari to even realize that all this was really happening. As a drafox, he was a predator too, but now a bigger predator has made him food. He had never thought he would end like this. When he was already half inside the dragon’s throat, he felt the big tongue moving between his hind legs and the dragon leaning back. Hikari got swallowed faster now. He still struggled and sqirmed, whipping his tail against the dragon’s jaw, but it was no use. The warm tight insides of the dragon engulfed his body more and more, until only Hikari’s tail was still outside. The dragon closed its jaw, sucked the tail delightfully inside and swallowed the rest of Hikari’s tasty body. Shortly after being devoured wholly, Hikari’s head entered the dragon’s stomach. It was hard to breathe in there, very hot and slippery, and the smell was not very pleasant. Hikari made a shout for help, though it was no use anymore, after being devoured completely.The stomach walls adjusted to the drafox’s size, as his body entered the stomach inch by inch. Finally, his whole body was inside, slightly twisted, as there was not much space, and lying inside a puddle of sticky stomach fluids. Hikari didn’t struggle anymore. He tried to cope with the whole situation. He had become a dragon’s food and there was no way back. Nature is ruthless.
