It was warm and sunny end of the autumn. Few first days of the November. At this time a big meeting of the fantasy fans took place. Everything was supposed to take place in picturesque city of Taralis. "Heh. It might be that they overdid their advertisement." Silver laughed short in his thoughts, looking over the booklet of this year's rally

- Board games, RPG's, LARP's, Cosplay contest, console zone. - Wolf was rummaging among the brochure and was studying the map of the event at the same time. - Workshops, symposiums, lectures, meetings with authors... Hmmm. There will be a presentation of a new fantasy game. "The Guardian" It even might be interesting. - Wolf smiled sincerely and folded the booklet with the map.

He put them into one of the cartridge cases he had on his bulletproof vest and looked at the entrance to the huge sporting hall. - So it is time to have some fun. - He said and walked toward the entrance. Wolf was dressed in the military uniform, bulletproof vest and a black bandana on top of his head. However his whole outfit was stylized on the STALKER universe. By his belt he had a revolver and a Kalashnikov rifle on his back, both of which were ASG replicas.

In the first day youngster got familiar with his surroundings and the placement of the rooms. Just like on many conventions, there was not much happening in the first day. He played a few board games and few rounds on consoles, meeting new people at the same time. Before the closing of the day he participated in the workshops in improvisation and leading an RPG session. When in the late evening doors closed behind the last guests he considered the day as fulfilling. Silver came back to his hotel room and prepared himself for the next day.

On the second day of the convention wolf woke up early in the morning. He was one of the first people which showed up in the hall. When he was wandering among the empty stands he noticed a machine with the plushies. It wasn't anything extraordinary, a simple machine with a gripper. However when he was walking by his attention caught a one particular plushie.

It was a dragon with golden eyes, blue horns on his head, wings covered with feathers and white fur that was turning bluish on his paws. Silver stopped and began to look at the toy, which was evidently sticking out from the rest in the container. "Well I be damned... Heh. He looks like Blace. Beside it's a fucking "A" grade execution. Details and all. He looks almost alive."

Youngster glanced at the machine and took a few coins out of his pocket. "You'll be mine little one." He thought to himself and threw in the first coin. Machine began to play pretty old melody. "Oh. Entry of the Gladiators." He smiled recognizing the opera. Wolf placed his palms on the joystick and began to move the grapple over the plushie. When he pushed the button the machine began to play drums. The claw slowly went down and closed around the paw of the little dragon. But when the mechanism began to lift itself the plush toy slipped out and the automat played the losers tune.

- Oh, so that's how you want to play, a? Then just look. - Silver murred under his nose in response to the malice of the machine. He threw another coin, however the machine did not want to fulfill his desire. Engine was just gobbling next coins only to mock the wolf with its tunes. Finally the crane caught the plushie and lifted it up. "Come on baby." He held his breath seeing how his prize was getting closer to the chute.

But a few centimeters away from its target, the claw opened dropping the plush dragon. Silver for a moment was looking with open mouth at the plushie lying beside the hole. He took a deep breath and tapped a few times on the glass with his finger. - Fuck you, you fucking piece of junk. - He hissed quietly through the teeth and turned around walking his way.


When wolf had his back toward the machine the eyes of the plush Blace flashed with faint yellow glow and few electric arcs ran through the machine. Silver was merely few steps away when he heard that the machine turned on. He turned to see who was playing but there was no one near it. "What the?" He thought walking closer.

Automat still had a one chance left on its counter. "Hmmm. Weird, but I won't throw away a free chance." He thought grabbing the joystick. Again he placed the claw over the plush dragon and pressed the button. Mechanism closed around the toy and lifted it up without any protest. Finally the hook positioned itself over the chute and dropped the plushie inside. Machine played the melody similar to the one played when you beat the level in Mario, and turned itself off.

"That was weird... But I won't complain about the winning." He thought and pulled the plush Blace out of the machine. He lifted him to his eyes and began to closely inspect him. Wolf was surprised and under a great impression of the execution of the toy; horns, eyes, claws and even singular feathers on its wings. Youngster took off his gloves off his hands and petted the plushie. Silver never felt such soft and warm in touch, fabric. "Incredible..." He thought and hugged the dragon to his chest.

"Heh. You look almost like you were real Blace." He thought and moved every limb of the plushie, even the wings. Paws as well as wings stayed in the place where into which wolf moved them. "Oh, damn... You can even be positioned." Toy didn't cease to amaze the youngster. In touch it seemed almost like a live animal, like a cat since it was similar size.

- All right Blace. Let's see what they prepared for us today. - Silver said to the plushie, treating him like a live person. After a few steps he took his phone out of his pocket and opened Skype. He looked at one of his few contacts and smiled sinisterly. - What a pity that I don't have Wi-Fi in here. I'm almost certain that he would be jealous if I sent him your pictures. - He said with a smirk to the dragon and hid his cell phone. Wolf held the plushie like a cat in his arms and went deeper into the hall. But when he wasn't looking Blace blinked and looked at him furtively then smiled.

After a not too long while the hall in which the event took place, filled with people and stands had liven up with laughter and chatter. Silver alongside his new plush friend participated in many different activities that the convention had to offer. From time to time he was only shuffling Blace, sometime setting him on top of his backpack or shoulder, sometimes even putting him behind his vest. However the wolf did not noticed that the dragon was not an ordinary toy. He was looking around the enormity of the event and sometimes he did changed his own position to see better. Because of that the wolf was often surprised when he was finding the dragon in different position than he left him. But as he was looking at Blace he was pretending to be a toy.

Time was passing and Silver was having a great time, until came the time for one of the more important events. It was the official presentation of a new game "The Guardian." Wolf stood in the middle of the crowd and set the plishie on his head like he wanted him to have a better view. He had no idea why he was doing that. But when all started the plush dragon was observing everything with no less of interest and curiosity. At some point he began to unwittingly wag his tail. Youngster felt that and when he put his hand on the back of his head he caught the tail of the small dragon.

"What...?" He asked himself taking the toy off of his head. But when he looked at the dragon, he was motionless and his plastic eyes were staring at one point. When he turned around to look if someone was accosting him, he saw no one. Everyone was staring at the stage. "Hmmm... Strange" He thought and put Blace back on his head. Moment later the dragon looked at him and sighed with relief.

After the whole presentation Silver took Blace off of his head and smiled to him. - It's boding quite well, doesn't it? - He asked and set him on his shoulder. The rest of the day went pretty quickly. Watching cosplay contest, other quizzes and playing games. However this night Wolf didn't came back to his hotel room. He welled up with a group with which he played an all night RPG session in "Afterbomb Madness". When everybody was engaged in the session Blace, a bit bored, yawned and crawled into the wolf's backpack to catch some sleep.

The next day Silver from time to time was drinking coffee or energy drinks, but he wasn't hurrying anywhere. It was the last day of the convention, so he got himself to a little shopping. He was visiting stands and was buying T-shirts, badges, pins and others similar things. At some point he came across a stand he didn't see before.

It was station with books stylized on the Stalkers camp. He walked up to the people sitting there and smiled honestly. - Привет сталкеры. - He greeted them. (Welcome stalkers.)
People sitting inside were dressed as bandits, stalkers and other factions from that universe. They all looked at each other and smiled, and greet him back. - Привет наемник. (Welcome mercenary.) - Black cat dressed in the simple tracksuit and a holster on his thigh walked to the counter. - How can I help you?

Silver smiled. - A bottle of the "kozak" vodka and Kalashnikov ammunition. - He said and laughed. - Great stand you have here.
- Thanks. - The cat replied.
- Could I get a few pictures with you guys?
- Sure, come in and give the camera. The cat said and lifted the counter up.
Wolf walked inside and opened his backpack. - Oh. I don't remember putting you in here. - He said taking Blace out of the pack. - But I'm glad that you're here. - He said putting him on his shoulder and taking out the camera. - Here you go. - Wolf said giving the device to the bandit.

Cat in the costume smiled. - Hey gang, come we'll take a few pictures. - He waved at his companions. Wolf at first posed to the group photo, everybody in their costumes and with their gun replicas. Blace was looking like a plushie the whole time but when the flash went off he smiled. For a long while Silver was posing with the people from the stand, role playing the scenes and chatting about their favorite games and books. Youngster was also posing with his little friend. For everybody the dragon always seemed like just a toy but on the pictures he was always coming out almost alive and immersed in the scenes.

When wolf was done with the photos he still talked to his new buddies for a long while. At the end he bought few books which he still didn't own. After that he went on to visit another stands. Day ended definitely too early for the youngster's taste as well as the rest of the event. When everybody dispersed Silver packed his things to his car and went home.

Not much time has passed and the wolf was sitting before his computer, looking through the photos and holding the plushie on his lap. - Hmmm... - He was rubbing his chin seeing how Blace looked on the pictures. - Very strange... - He said lifting the dragon up and staring into his plastic eyes. - I suppose you had fun as well, a? - However Blace was motionless all the time.

Young wolf only sighed and looked at his watch. - Ehhh... It would be worth to go to sleep... It happens that tomorrow I have a shift. - He muttered to himself turning off the computer. - Beside that. It would be worth to sleep off that convent, wouldn't it Blace? - He said putting the plush dragon on the bed.

Silver took a bath and jumped into the bed hugging the plushie to his chest. Not much time has passed and the youngster fell asleep. When the wolf was sleeping soundly Blace blinked and looked at him smiling. A second later his eyes flashed with the bright yellow light.

- Silver...? Silver... - Young wolf suddenly opened his eyes at the very sound of an unfamiliar voice, but he didn't move a millimeter. - Are you sleeping? - He heard another question, and a moment later he felt how someone poked his side. When he looked around he noticed that he was still in his room. He knew that on his vest was belted a knife. When he felt that whoever was beside let off of him, he shot out of the bed like an arrow.

He grabbed his knife and stood in the defensive position. But when he saw who was standing beside his bed he froze. At the opposite side of the room stood a white dragon, which head was almost touching the ceiling. Blace was looking at Silver for a moment tilting his head to the side. - What are you doing? - He asked curious.

Youngster stood like he was nailed to the floor for a short while then he slowly straighten up. - What the hell...? - He asked and then pinched himself. "Nope. I'm not sleeping..." He thought rubbing the aching spot. - Blace? - He asked putting his knife away and walking closer. - Is it really you?
Dragon however only smiled and pounced on the wolf. He gently knocked him onto the floor and lay on top of him to pin him down. Surprised wolf tried to free himself from under the dragon but to no vain. Blace looked at him from above and smiled after that he began to nuzzle Silver's face. - Yes, it's me. - He said, laughing short.

Wolf was holding his back for a moment but after a second succumbed and hugged the dragon. But when he ran his palm over his body he felt the fabric and the stitching. - That plushie... It was you, the whole time? - He asked a bit surprised.
Blaze stopped for a moment and looked him straight into the eyes. - Yes. And I really had a great time. - He said and turned onto his back, holding the wolf pressed against his chest the whole time.

When Silver found himself on top of the plush dragon he snuggled into him even harder but after a moment he relaxed. He felt like on the big, plush bed. After a few seconds he lifted his head and looked at Blace - So... What do you want to do? - He asked a little bit uncertain.
Dragon looked somewhere into the corner for a moment tapping one of his claws on his chin. A short while later he looked at the youngster smiling. - I think I would have a few ideas. - He said and liked the wolf on the face.

The tongue of the big plushie was soft and even felt moist in touch. Silver wiped his face but he was dry. Blace smiled and the end of his tongue was still poking out from between his lips. Young wolf pulled himself closer to his head and put his hand on the hanging out tongue. He was moving his hand, marveling over the unusual feeling. His fingers were running over the perfectly smooth fabric on which were sawed on snippets and bumps pretending to be a taste buds.

Blace began to purr feeling the wolf's hand. A moment later his tongue wrapped around it and pulled it inside of his maw. He began to suck and taste his hand, purring even louder. Silver was surprised by the sudden tug but after a second he closed his eyes and began to enjoy the new feeling.

After a few minutes the dragon spat out the wolf's hand and smiled. Youngster slowly sat cross-legged on the belly of the plush beast. - So...? What are you planning next? - He asked but he had a hunch that he knew the answer.
Blace put one claw to his chin pretending that he's wondering. - Hmmm... Tough question... - He said bantering a bit with Silver. After a moment he petted his own belly and moved his head closer to him. - And what would you say to a night in a soft, warm and plush sleeping bag? - He whispered and stuck his tongue in a silly smile.

Wolf laughed short and pressed his nose to the toy. - Sure. It sound great, but... - He said and gently opened the dragon's maw, then he put his head inside, which was barely fitting in. - Are you sure that you could handle me? - He asked pulling his head from the beast's maw.

For a moment Blace was looking at the wolf, surprised. But after a second he smiled slightly. Silver's words sounded like a challenge which he was going to accept. Suddenly eyes of the plush dragon flashed with a yellow glow. On this sight youngster backed away, unwittingly. A moment later he felt a weird tingling in his whole body. Slowly the dragon, on which he was sitting, began to grow. At least that's what he thought at first. When he began to look around it occurred to him that he was shrinking down.

After a minute he was already the size of a small cat. Blace was towering over him ominous, baring his white teeth in a wide grin. With one paw he grabbed still surprised Silver and lifted him to his eyes. - For that you underestimated my powers, you'll be punished. - Dragon tried to sound menacingly, but after a moment he couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter hugging the wolf to his cheek.

Silver almost gave in to the acting of the big plushie but when he began to laugh he sighed in relief and hugged him back. But after a moment of endearment he asked. - So what will be my punishment?

Dragon looked at Silver and put him on the floor, after that he stood up on his hind paws. A moment later he lifted one of them and moved it over the youngsters head. Wolf seeing giant paw over himself swallowed nervously but second later he smiled and spread his arms. He calmly waited for what was going to happen knowing that Blace wouldn't hurt him.

Plush dragon finally put down his paw, pressing Silver to the floor with it. Few times he pressed harder on the youngster, but not hard enough to do him any harm. Wolf was savoring the feeling of the plush pushing against his whole body. At some point he began to nuzzle and rub the paw pad, under which he was. Blace feeling movement under his paw began to giggle and then laugh. - Ha ha. Stop! Please! I have tickles. Ha ha.

Not being able to withstand it anymore, dragon fell on his back flinging his paws in the air. Silver hung tightly onto one of his toes not to fly into the air. After he calmed down the wolf began to nuzzle into the plushie's toe. Blace looked at the youngster and squeezed him in between his hind paws. From time to time he curled his toes squeezing Silver even more and later he began to rub his paws on each other. Wolf was rolling in between the soft fabric feeling how his whole body was gently massaged by it. After a long while of such play the dragon stopped. - So what? Are you ready for the next attraction? - He asked his little companion.

Wolf only smiled - Sure. Bring it. - Dragon hearing these words flung his leg, throwing the youngster into the air. Silver yipped in surprise when he found himself in the air, but he smiled seeing underneath, the open maw of the plushie. Moment later he landed on the soft tongue and the jaws of the toy closed around him. When his eyes finally got used to the feeble light he looked around the inside of the beast's maw.

He was astonished seeing that everything looked just like in a living dragon. After a short let-up Blace begun to taste the wolf he had in his mouth. He was pressing him to his own palate and cheeks, purring in content. After a few seconds he felt that the youngster began to wrestle with him.

When the dragon was playing with him, Silver felt how the soft and almost slippery fabric was rubbing against his body. In the touch the material was warm but when things were getting too hot it became pleasantly cool. Wolf was wrestling with the plush tongue for a while, pretending it was a fight or a rodeo.

But suddenly everything stopped; the tongue threw the youngster off and pushed him onto the teeth. He got stuck between two fangs and was looking at the teeth above him. When Blace felt the wolf betwixt his teeth he bit down.

Silver's eyes shrank when he saw that the fangs began to move closer to him. He closed his eye waiting for the pain but he only felt a strong press and heard a long squeak. When he opened his eyes again he was squeezed between the dragon's jaws. His teeth were wrinkled and bent. When the wolf began to touch the pearly white fangs he felt that they were made out of a soft rubber.

Silver sighed in relief. - I almost got a heart attack because of you! - He shouted laughing.
- I'm sorry but I wanted to scare you a little... - Blace said a bit apologetic. - But I succeeded didn't I? - He said proudly laughing lightly. After a moment he began to chew again. Every time his teeth clenched on the youngster they were bending and squeaking like a toys.

After a while Silver laid down on the dragon's tongue panting heavily from exhaustion. - And how did you like that? - Blace asked.
- It was amazing. Thanks for everything. - Wolf replied nuzzling into the plush tongue.
Dragon slowly began to tilt his had back. - Are you ready for the next stop? - Wolf only concur with a long murr and let his body to slide deeper into the dragon's maw.

After a few seconds his hind paws pressed on plushies throat. Blace swallowed and the fabric, like a live flesh squeezed around the Silver's legs and pulled him down. Now only his torso was sticking out from the pink, plush muscles. He felt how the material was pulsating around his lower half, gently pulling at him.

Dragon swallowed again and his body completely engulfed the young wolf. Youngster was now only a bulge, which slowly traveled down the Blace's neck. The giant toy placed its paw on its neck and followed the wolf's journey with it. At one point the bulge stopped on the red collar which he was wearing. Dragon pressed his neck a few times lightly laughing. - And how do you like your journey?

Wolf felt the plushies paw no himself which was pushing down on him over and over. Warm fabric was gently massaging his body. When he heard the question he placed his hands on the walls of the Blace's esophagus and began to rub it. - Yes. I like it very much. Comfortable sits, air conditioning, and an extraordinary service. If you could get me a drink with a little umbrella I'll be in heaven. - Silver joked and after that he felt the fabric under him loosened.

- Glad to hear it. - Blace laughed, and pulled at his collar. The bulge on his neck traveled further and after a while it disappeared in his chest.

After a few seconds young wolf heard something that he hadn't expected. He heard the heartbeat. Calm and soothing rhythm of the giant, plush dragon's heart. Silver for a moment closed his eyes listening to the cadence. After a few seconds the gravity which suddenly pulled him down, plucked him from a pleasant trance. A moment later the wolf impacted into the soft, wrinkled fabric, which was imitating the walls of dragon's stomach. Plush walls bounced him back up and gently squeezed around him.

Blace let out a short burp when he felt a pleasant weight drop into the bottom of his stomach. He put his paws on his belly and began to massage it, softly purring. - You were a delicious little treat Silver. Thank you that you wanted to play with me. - He whispered rubbing his nose against his belly.

Plush walls for a while longer were massaging the young wolf in a tight hug after which they relaxed. Silver laid comfortably on the soft material and began to rub it with his hands. - It was a great pleasure for me too Blace. You were right, you are the most comfortable sleeping bag I was in. - Youngster joked and yawned.

Plush dragon smiled. - Thank you. It's probably time to go to sleep, isn’t it? - He asked rhetorically and slowly laid on the youngster's bed. - Good night Silver. - He said closing his eyes.
- Good night Blace - Wolf replied and then sighed. He was listening into the beat of the dragon's plush heart, which was working like a lullaby on him. Not much time have passed before fell into a deep sleep.

After a few hours the alarm in his phone, pulled him from his sleep. When he opened his eyes he noticed that he was all tangled in some kind of fabric. - Blace? Can you let me out? - But no one answered him. Wolf sighed and tried to free himself. After a short while he succeeded. Then he noticed that he was tangled in his own bedding and was lying in his own bed. He quickly turned off his alarm clock and looked around his room, sitting on the edge of his mattress.

At some point he noticed Blace lying on top of the cupboard, just as he brought him from the convent. He took him in his hands and lifted him up. - So, it was only a dream, a? But still, it was a pleasant dream, thanks. - He said and hugged the toy to his chest. After a moment he placed him on the bed beside him and sighed. - Ech... It's time to go save ungrateful people. - After those words the wolf stood up, prepared himself a breakfast and his paramedic uniform.

After almost an hour he finished his coffee and went out closing the door behind him. At this sound Blace blinked and looked at the closed door. A moment later he stretched and sat, petting his belly. Then he turned around and looked at you slightly smiling. - Yeah. It was really pleasant dream. - He said and winked at you.
