Taming Entry;
I wasn't as ready for a dragon as I had thought yesterday.
The morning was normal, wake up, get seasick over the side of the ship, try and eat, more vomit, ect. As soon as a island came into sight I nearly cried; it was small, but still land. The island couldn't dock our ship perfectly, so I had to join a ragtag team of four that tied long ropes to a couple of rocks nearby so our ship wouldn't float away. I managed to get away with hiding behind a rock and trying to warm up while the others worked. Mean, true, but I had been on that ship for long enough. I earned it.
After that things just went downhill. I managed to snag my own tent when we started our hike into the island, and while the others where gazing at the trees and fighting over the best camping spot I decided to sneak out. There was a steep hill, its ledge definitely hard to climb and extended directly up for about five meters. I fought my way threw rocks and a small flock of very angry birds to get my way to the top, wasting about half a hour and another that I spent in a fit of anger when I discovered a winding, easy trail. By the time I calmed down, the sun had set just enough that the golden rays of light spilled over the churning ocean.
My breath caught in my throat, eyes darting across the painting-worthy view. The ocean touched the sky and branched out for miles, leaving me to see a clear line only broken by the occasional sea dragon or two. The island itself was a green blurr below me, the voices of others barely reaching my ears and drifting into my mind. I stared out into the ocean from the mountain for about a hour just enjoying the sight before deciding to set up camp. I managed to not realize that the insanely loud, panting breath behind me was not my own.
When I did figure it out you could say I freaked out. My hands where halfway threw building the third knot, my back already to it and my eyes wide as plates. I had no weapons, a huge dragon a centimeter away from gorging my eyes out, my life started flashing before my eyes. I heard my heartbeat in my ears and the training I had gone threw my whole life left my mind the instant I needed it. The Deadly Nadder's eyes narrowed and for a moment I couldn't help but think of my old dog, Sofie. I stared into the purple orbs for a few moments, both of us at a impasse.
I stroked its nose spike on impulse, the creature puffing up as my hand grew close in a treating stance. By the time I realized what I had done, the dragon was upside down with a huge grin stretching across its face. Her tongue lolled out and spittle dripped onto my face. I was in shock, staring at the large spikes and jesus huge teeth.
I started shaking horribly, fear and the adrenalin that had been pumping threw my veins made no move to leave. My breathes were sort and shallow, the panting almost matching the giant dragon that was so close to me if it decided I wasn't good enough I was dead meat. I backed off a little, my feet tripping backwards as I hit the ledge and my body decided hey, let just have a nice little nap as you plummet to you death.
Next thing I knew I was nearly impaled by a hauntingly familiar dragon and a haunting unfamiliar cavern. I lunged backwards to avoid the dagger-like nose before darting away to the closest form of light. I barely registered the loud, lumbering sound of it hopping after me.
Outside it was dark. My tent was still put up halfway. I stared dumbly at the place I nearly had died before it hit that the somehow, that dragon saved me. I whipped around intending to run back in and try and patch up my rudeness only to come face to face with the giant black Nadder. We both stumbled back in surprise.
Unlike the other stories, dragons where not as easy to tame as here, have some fish or hey let me pet you really quick. No, I hit a stroke of luck with this one, but she certainly wasn't tame. After my third attempt of rebuilding my tent only to be destroyed, again, by the dragon, I begrudgingly trailed down the path. The dragon had saved my life, but I needed sleep and was going back. I, unobservant as ever, never noticed it following me to the camp site, waiting for morning, and boarding our ship along with us. (I deserve a star for number one lookout, nice job!)
Whoopdedo, Ahnika, you got about two hundred pounds following you back home and oh god its trying to eat Maltim.
