Kumandra and The Lost Dragon (A Raya and The Last Dragon Fanfic)

An Empty Stomach

The serpentine sight of Tarmos is the only thing living within The Nothing, the realm filled with nothing, yet there is something there within the nothing. His memories. He silently watches them and the people within these memories of his, their faces were frighteningly blank, no nose, no eyes, nor a mouth was seen. Then, there are these voices, voices that he'd recognized, but do not know who they all belong to. He continues on watching, till the voices became louder and louder and louder until they sound like screams, and out from nowhere in the middle of these memories of Tarmos, a burning face of a pale, horned entity with a sideways mouth came into view and it went forwards towards Tarmos, and soon, Tarmos sees what was inside the entity's mouth as not only there were rows of sharp, jagged teeth, but eyes which glared at Tarmos with bitter judgement. Lastly, the entity roars as it proceeds to devour Tarmos whole, and now, Tarmos wakes up from that strange and scary nightmare, saving him from the infernal jaws of the beast of The Nothing.
Tarmos slowly sits up from the bed and noticed that he is in another room that is even more grander than one of the Heart castle's guest room. He then looks left and right to see if anyone's in the room, and when he nobody, he stretches his arms into the air and hops off the bed and walks (in a not so dragon like way) towards a wooden sliding window, which he opens and sees several forested mountains and where dragons had built their homes on top or attached on the mountains' face. Down below, there is a beautiful jungle, where most of the dragons hang around, the grown ups would usually talk about grown up things, while their little ones play childish games with each other. This amazed Tarmos as he didn't see anything like this as he looks down at scenery with astonishment, but soon, that astonishment didn't last as he remembered why he wanted to open the window. To escape.
The next thing Tarmos did was something that not a lot of dragons would do and many would embarrass themselves if they did what Tarmos did and that is climbing down a mountain. This was a struggle for Tarmos as he used his claws to dig onto the stone surface to climb down. It was suppose to be easy, he thought, easy if he got his gauntlets on. He is now halfway down the mountain and Tarmos's paws and claws are all aching as it made him stop and rest for a moment.
"It hurts!" He said under his breath.
Suddenly, he hears a crack and he sees a crack near one of his claws, and then, that crack begins to grows as more cracks begin to form near his other claws, until, Tarmos's grip becomes loose as he begins to fall down. He tried to scream, but not a sound came out of his mouth. Soon, his back hits a patch of golden flowers, which (surprisingly) soften his fall.
"*Groan* It could've been worse."
Tarmos slowly goes up in a shakily manner and begins to walk away on both feet, like a human.
He soon sees an opening and there were dragons roaming around and having a good time and Tarmos doesn't want any of these dragons to see him. His solution was to go around the opening, while hiding behind the bushes and trees and this solution was successful in Tarmos's eyes, yet little did he know that there was one dragon amongst the crowd who spotted him and they're curious. After Tarmos passed the opening, he soon find a flowing stream, and when he walks towards the stream, he sees something swimming within it and they were fish and Tarmos's belly begins to growl at the sight of them. Tarmos walks away from the stream for a little while, till he founds a stick and he sharpens its tip with his claw, after he sharpens it, Tarmos uses the sharpened stick to try and catch one of the swimming fishes. As Tarmos furiously tries to stab one of the fishes, while whispering in a foreign language, the dragon, who spotted him, was watching him behind a tree and she thinks it's unusual and funny for a dragon using a sharp stick to catch a fish. When Tarmos finally caught a fish, the dragon behind the tree couldn't help but laugh at the sight, and shortly after that, she walks out (in all fours) from her hiding spot and goes towards Tarmos, who now noticed her.
"You catch fish with a stick?" She asked, giggling.
"Correct." Tarmos replied. "Do dragons do that?"
"No, except for you though." The dragon steps into the stream and quickly plunges her paws into the water and instantly catches a fish.
"That's how you catch a fish the dragon way." She said as she puts the fish back into the water. "You, in the other hand, don't want your paws and claws to get dirty, like a posh prince."
"Don't want my paws and claws to get dirty? Woman, I'm holding a stick, it's brown, it's sticky, and it's dirtying my paw and claw!"
The dragon bursts into laughter at Tarmos's response and he was puzzled by how the dragon reacted. Tarmos spoke in a sarcastic way to the stranger and he thought she would scold him for his behavior, but she took his response as a joke.
"You're the funniest dragon I've ever met, what's your name?" She then asked
"Tarmos Rime... You?"
"Achara, my name is Achara."
"And my name is Sisu, Sisudatu."
Tarmos screamed right after Sisu spoke from behind his back and as he turns around...
"Sisu, you imbecile!!! You could've given me a heart attack!"
"Wait, you know Sisu?" Achara asked.
Sisu then replies. "Of coarse he knows me, miss...?"
"Achara."
"Miss Achara, I took care of him for an entire week while he's unconscious." Sisu spoke with pride, while making Tarmos's heart stop beating.
"Hold on, an entire week? I've been unconscious for an entire week!!!"
"That's correct, Tarmos R-R-Rime, and I see you caught yourself a fish, wanna fry it or something?" Sisu asked
Tarmos's face goes red in anger as he shouted. "Sisu! My last name isn't R-R-Rime, it's Rime, Rime!!!"
"Okay then, it's Rime, Rime!!!" Sisu jokingly said, while imitating how Tarmos was speaking.
Soon enough, Tarmos howls in rage at how annoying the blue water dragon is as his angry yell echoes throughout the land of dragons.
