“It shouldn't be much farther.” I quietly muttered to myself, walking along the path through the forest. I had been walking for a few hours which had proven tiresome on my legs. I decided to take a break and rest at the foot of a large tree. Taking some water out of my pack, I took a few sips and listened to the crickets chirp a soothing melody.
“Hopefully I'll have better luck in this next town” I thought to myself. Having been to multiple towns, looking for any kind of job that provides room and board, I had learned not to get my hopes up.
Rustling from the bushes was all it took to get me back on my feet. I started walking normally until I heard the rustling again, then I started walking a little faster. As the rustling came faster, so did I. Running, I knew whatever was in the bushes had been following me. I hadn't heard the creature for a few seconds so I looked back to see if it was still following me. Not looking where I was going, I ran into a soft blubbery wall. I stumbled backward and looked up before me to see two curious eyes looking back at me.
“Why hello there” it spoke in a child-like voice. “Who might you be.”
Still frozen I couldn't respond. He was a dragon, a very fat one at that. He was a marine blue with light yellow scales covering his belly all the way down to the end of his tail. He was at least six times my size and looked around 10 times my body weight. “I said who are you” he said a little louder.
After overcoming my shock, I finally responded “I'm Adam” I managed to say.
“It's very nice to meet you Adam, I'm Layrius” he said with a smile. He then grabbed me by the waist in one large fore claw and picked me up bringing me to his face. “I've never seen your kind before, are you new here.”
“I'm a Katishi” I said squirming a little in his claw.
“I've never seen or even heard of a Katishi before”
“I'm not surprised, we don't usually come around here”
“Well I can't wait to learn more about you.” He coiled his tail around me as he lowered down on all fours and started walking into the trees.
“Wait, where are you taking me” I said struggling in his tail.
“Back to my cave” He replied as if nothing was wrong.
“Why” I asked, getting a little nervous. “Are you going to eat me.”
Layrius stopped in his tracks and looked back at me with a confused expression on his face. “Of course not. I was just taking you home because it was getting dark”
“Oh” I muttered feeling rude. “I'm sorry”
“It's fine don't worry about it.” He said perking up as he started walking again.
