Well, I guess this'll have to do.
Ever since we had landed, (more like crashed), I felt uneasy. I couldn't tell if it was a being a dragon or being short. Things were different now, I was shorter, still red, but why wasn't I blue instead? It didn't matter… what did was that we landed on a planet with no identification of rabbits… yet. Strong magic, almost enchanted magic, flowed from the planet, the grass was green and the forest greener. Anyway…
After the ship crashed dragons had came to greet me… I liked the guys for their kindness, but they smiled too much.
"Ah, a … fellow dragon!" The biggest one of them said, he was about half a wing taller than I was. (Why must I be so short?!).
"Uh… hi," I answered back. I didn't know them and looked back Tobias only to see his face of concern.
"Ahem!" the leader commanded me to look back at him. "Your friends are not needed now," He said coldly. I decided to go with him before they torched anything else. A battle had taught me that coldness isn't something to be underestimated: Especially with dragons. I looked back again somewhat waving. They had already started camp without me. "After all… What's the worst that could happen?" I said to myself.
Their city was breath taking… everything was made out of gold, silver, and some things copper. As we entered, I saw the entire population was made out of dragons. Most of the dragon's scales were colored maroon or brown, but a few orange, yellow, dark greens, or black… which scared me. I followed by the leader like a companion, but it didn't feel like it. As we went further into the city, I noticed some more dragons smiling at me, but it was a suspicious smile. The snickers on their faces laughed at me, although I couldn't really tell if the laughing was because of my height or they were hiding something.
"… Colorful city…" I tried to compliment and tried to shut out the muted laughs. The leader grunted and kept walking… I just remember I never got his name. "Hey… what's your name anyway?" I asked politely as I could.
"Fireball," He coldly replied again, he was maroon and I would have chosen another name for him. Conversation ceased by then… the buildings were a bit strange. Most of them were made out of large bricks instead of just a giant wall, and there were no office buildings, although I doubt personification would go that far. We reached Town Square to a 2-story building. I stared at it, the windows were made of crystal, the roof also of crystal.
"By the way, what I'm a doing here anyway?" the beauty of the town has just made me numb to the fact of what the others were doing. Fireball looked at the others. I turned around and noticed how many more dragons had come to follow. "Ack!" I just realized to myself! They were all dark dragons! I knew it!
"Ha… you just walked in and expected everything to be fine! Haven't you fools learned yet not to trust anyone?!" The leader laughed in a dark evil voice, he was now dark too. The sun was setting unbelievably fast and everything was beginning to get dark. It was like a thundercloud had just drifted into a picnic. They were all surrounding me as I though of a way to escape.
The sky! I thought to myself. It was one place they weren't blocking. I jumped up surprising high as I've seen many others do when they are in a tight spot.
"Idiots! Who was taking care of air guards?" Fireball lashed out and several dragons jumped up and started after me. Flying was very easy, it would have been easier with thermals from the sun but this would do. Everything was going easy; I'd be back by sunrise if I learned how to fly well enough. Everything was going well, until they started firing. I wondered where the others were as part of my wing caught fire.
"Where are you Tobias, Kovu, CopperTop, Ducky, and all the rest of you… where are you?" I said in agony. The burning ceased on the wing and went onto my back. "Geez! Get some mouth wash!" I tried to at least be comical in my unwilling decent…
Burning… that's the last thing I felt before the dark claws caught me and knocked me out. Where were the other guys?
