The night became cold and quiet. A bit too quiet....

Athusa got up and peaked his snout out of the stone house. The moon shone bright, almost like the sun. It's not common for such a beautiful night. I looked back at my brother who was still peacefully sleeping.

I sneak out of the house and silently fly to the nearest forest. I didn't hear any creatures which was surprising. I would have expected all sorts of bugs and night birds singing in this glorious night. Something wasn't right. I sniff the air, 'This is the smell of another dragon.'

I run through the forest, tracking the dragon's scent. I stopped at an opening in the woods. There was a massive crack in the ground. It was the border to the OutLands. A wild place where all the rebels lived with no order, filled with violent tribes that hated us and our king.

I noticed some movement in the bushes from the other side of the border.

"Come out! I see you so there's no point in hiding," I shout.

The dragon hesitates for a minute until they decide to step into the light of the full moon.

My eyes widen at the sight...They were the most beautiful dragon I have ever seen. Purple colors swirled with pink, poured onto grey scales like syrup. She had beautiful feathers and bright eyes that reflected the moon.

"Alright, you caught me." She sits right on the edge of the border.

I shake my head trying to think clearly again.
"What are you doing so close to our borders?" I question.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that...I was just enjoying the beautiful night...I must have missed the border while I was flying."

"That's something pretty big to miss." I roll my eyes in disbelief.

"Hey! I was flying really fast!" The female dragon defended. "Besides...what are YOU doing this close to the border?" She sassed back.

"Oh, well uh...same as you I guess." I chuckle nervously.

The dragon smiled "what's your name?" She asked.

"My name is Athusa, and you are?" I tilt my head curiously.

"Amethyst, my name is Amethyst."

"Well then Amethyst, you wanna meet up here again tomorrow night? I don't get to talk to dragons often...and well...You seem pretty...." I pause realizing what I said..." PRETTY COOL!! I MENT!! Well, you are pretty...but that's not my point...uh.."

"Id love to" She laughs and retreats back into the woods.
