Chapter 2

Reunion and understanding

Charles stares at the window at the eyes looking at him from outside his window and the eyes stare back the low rumbling permeating through the house from the beast outside his home he slowly started to back up slowly as he started looking for his spear or at least his bow before remembering he left them outside in the shed just on the other side of his well. Fucking hell what a wonderful time to leave my equipment outside great job Charles you fucking idiot.

Charles soon wondered if he could make it to his spear outside before this thing attacked him. He started to back up slowly to his door and his back hit the door he reached around to unlatch the latch on his door so he could leave the house. Charles soon found the latch and flipped it up and pushed it outward before turning around and making a break for his spear and bow reaching his weapons he quickly threw his bow and quiver over his back and then grabbed his spear quickly turning around. He now faced the beast as it came around his home the large beast was a dragon it stood 7 feet tall at the shoulders and was at least 30 feet long from tip of its snout to the tip of its tail its large pillar like legs ending in long talon like claws what looks strong enough to carry away a small horse its large wings folded over its back at the moment but looked like if they spread to fly they be 90 feet from one wing tip to the other. Its eyes a bright sapphire blue and glowing in the darkness of the night as it huffed and made sounds similar to a large whale but more rhythmic like a language but of course nothing Charles could understand.

Charles out of fear raised his spear in defense yelling in hopes to scare off the large dragon by seaming loud and scary but also pretty sure that might not work but he was unsure what else to do with this beast so close to him. Charles soon had his hopes crushed as the beast took a step forward and he realized this thing must be much lighter than he thought since it barely made any sound with is large footfalls almost silent even when stepping on fallen branches and leaves what made him shiver wondering if its been wondering around here all along but he just did not notice it since it was so silent. Charles yells again trying to swing the spear in a threatening way to try to scare it again but in his attempt with his sweaty palms his spear flew from his palms and into the wall of his home.

Charles gulped as he looked at his spear logged into the wood of his home and while he was focused on it he heard wind rushing by him and felt a strong gust of wind turning his head just in time to see a large pair of dragon talons about ready to smack him in the face. Charles jumps to the side in hopes to avoid the dragon's claws but only ends up making it easier to be grabbed around his torso now being held in the left front claws of the large dragon being carried off he screamed and started beating his fist into the dragons legs in hopes of it to let him go. Once he looked down it made him forget about trying to get it to let him go as he was now way above the tree line and instead he held tight onto the dragon's claws for safety from falling for he was unsure what death is worse. Charles soon started to feel light headed from a mix of fear and panic and something else he did not understand. A new sort of pain started to inflict in his head like a burning sensation making him sweat and feel warm and soon he passed out while being carried off to who knows where.

Charles stirred rolling over in his sleep cold as a breeze rolled into his room as he huffed and tried to find his blanket only finding his warm bed he was in was a lot more stringy like it was made from plant fibers rather than straw like his bed he owned in his home and yet warmer as well. Charles eyes opened and he sat up quickly looking around he was in a cave no this was no natural cave the walls were to smooth almost like they were carved by something the cave was also massive way to big to be man made without a lot of equipment and besides who would have a cave like this and file the walls down like this. Charles stood up and now fully before almost tripping looking down he realized he was in a large bowl like dent in the floor of the cave filled with plenty of vegetation and feathers. The feathers in this bowel in the floor were massive and a bright blue as the memories of last night started to rush though his head. Charles started to hyperventilate when he looked back to the cave entrance and he saw the dragon standing at the cave entrance blocking a lot of the light coming in with its massive figure and looking like a beast that demands great respect.

Charles started to back away slowly and soon tripped after walking a bit as he hit the other end of the large bowl he landed flat on his ass and tried to reach for his bow. Charles soon realized it was not on his back looking for it, it was on the other side of the bowl that he only could assume was this dragon's nest but he had no time to reach it for now the dragon had reached him and was face to face with him. Charales wanted to scream but stopped when he realized what was in its mouth the dragon brought him his spear.

Charles stared at the dragon, the spear in its jaws the spear held gently as if it was not trying to damage its wooden handle and it huffed and shook its head as if it was offering for Charles to take it from its jaws. Charles reached out slowly and took the spear into his hand and the dragon as soon as it felt him grip his spear let it go the spear covered in a thick slimy saliva that dribbled down off of it. The dragon then slowly backed away and turned around as if going back to business it had beforehand before it went to get his spear.

Charles stared confused at the large dragon in front of him wondering why it did not kill him, why it took him to its nest and why it even retrieved his spear for him that he stupidly lost earlier. The dragon ignored his dumbfounded stares as it went over to another end of the cave wall and opened its jaws, sounding like it was letting out a long drawn out hissing breath before there was a loud click and the breath turned to fire. Charles jumped back in shock and panic seeing fare pour from this dragon's maw the fire being sprayed at the cave wall started to melt the stone what started carving flakes of melted stone off the walls that cooled into flakes of stones what the dragon used its wings to blow these flakes out of the cave entrance. The cave started to be expanded by this dragon. The dragon was carving a home inside the rock of whatever hill side they were on. Charles soon stood up unsure what was outside the cave entrance for the outside light blinded him but he figured it was better then in here with a dragon. Charles slowly worked his way to the entrance; he soon had his eyes adjust as he reached it only to discover it ended with a small lip of stone before seeing if he walked further he would have plummeted off a mountain but also noticed something else all around him were other mountains with similar holes inside them and not just that dragons all over some looking much much larger than the one who took him he swore most of them were at least 200 feet long from nose to tail and at least twelve feet tall at their shoulders if they were standing and not flying around the mountain tops like large birds of prey.

Charles backed back into the cave out of fear letting out gasps of air in a attempt to scream but the shock has taken his voice away and just when he felt he was about to have his heart fly out of his own chest in fear he felt a very hot gust of wind that smelled like old milk and meat hit the back of his neck slowly he turned his head around to see the dragon large face in his face its head tilted to the side like a curious puppy.

Gosh that stinks, Charles started covering his nose and gagging at the smell of the dragon's breath in his face. The dragon whimpered and lowered its head like it was apologizing for her breaths smell. Charles saw this and felt bad for complaining no i am so sorry dragon i did not mean to make you feel bad about your breath. Charles stomach soon growled and held his stomach groaning since he has not eaten since last night, fuck i am hungry. The dragon tilted its head before moving to the cave entrance and flying off, Charles sees this and starts to look around trying to find a way out of the cave.

He spent an hour looking for any way down the mountain from the cave but from what he could see there was no way for something that could not fly to get down. Charles soon decided to sit down in the nest he woke up in this morning and sighed as he held his stomach in hunger. Just then he heard the sound of wind and he saw the dragon fly into the cave finally landing with a rabbit that looked very small in between its jaws in its mouth and the dragon moved close to Charles and placed the rabbit at his feet. Charles looked at the rabbit as this for me, the dragon nodded its head grunting and cooing like a pigeon. Charles took the rabbit and sighed, I wish I could have a fire to cook this.

The dragon grunted and walked over to the corner of the cave and started spewing fire into the ground forming a bowl into the floor before flying out of the cave and coming back much quicker than last time and with a bunch of branches in its jaws. Laying them in the bowl it made in the stone before clicking something inside its maw creating sparks before the branches caught fire. Charles got up wondering why or how it even understood how to make a similar fire to a person and not just use its fire breath to start it whatever it did made sparks and it used that to start a small fire.

Charles went over to the fire and used the tip of his spear to carve some meat of the rabbit and started to cook the rabbit over the fire. Soon Charles had a full belly and was relaxing sitting at one end of the cave and he sighed and close his eyes he then felt very warm air near him opening his eyes he saw the dragons large form next to him as it lays down breathing heavily its large gut having a large gash down one side of its flank that looked awfully familiar.

Charles started to think why that gash looked familiar when he figured it out it was in the same area that his little baby dragon blue had a gash after his father ran it off and possibly killed it. Charles eyes grew wide and slowly reached out placing his hands on the large scare, blue is that you. Charles asked this and right after he asked them a sharp hot pain went through his head that felt like a fever mixed with a dagger cutting across his forehead as he held his head he heard a female voice speak inside his head. I wondered if you would have recognized me, my old friend.
