Dragon Story

Face-Off

Luna gasped. "Moon, did you hear that? We just communicated with Ember!"

Moon nodded. "Lime, Silver!" She called. The two dragons bounded over eagerly.

"We're going to Ice Mountain." Luna declared. The two dragons looked at their fluffy clothing and scarves. 

"Uh, you guys look as if you are hot," Lime said. 

"We are! Let's go already!" Moon snorted. She crawled onto their dragons' back.

"So, where are we going?" Silver asked in her flute-like voice. Lime looked at her with love in his eyes, and Silver blushed.

"The Ice Mountain," Luna answered. "We've bought some special cold climate dragon suits for you guys." Luna took a thick coat from her bag. The coat was Lime's color, and it looked it was never going to get blown off from its owner's body.

Luna put the coat on Lime. Lime snuggled inside it. "It feels so warm... I love this coat..." Lime sighed. 

"Let's go!" Moon interrupted them. "How can you guys not be worried when our beloved Guardian Dragon Ember's powers are stolen? We need to help! Otherwise, Drastopia will be doomed! And Edward the flea-face has his powers, and he is the leader of the standing-piles-of-trash Dragon Elite Team!" Moon ripped at the air, anger convulsing in her body.

"I agree! Let's go!" Luna told their dragons.

With a nod, the two dragons lifted off into the air. Air pressed against their bodies, and it was wonderful to be flying again. 

"I love riding Lime! It is not like using Flame-Shoes!" Luna called to Moon, the roaring wind-blocking her voice.

Moon yelled something back to her, but it was impossible to hear what she was saying. 

Please. Come to Ice Mountain. I am already there waiting for you. A voice sounded in their heads. 

Yes, Ember. We are coming. We are on our way. Luna thought to Ember. 

Ember replied, Very well. Please come as fast as you can. 

Moon said to Silver, "Come on, Silver! Fly as fast as you can to Ice Mountain. Lime, you too."

The dragons breathed out a small plume of fire and leaned forward. Almost immediately Luna could feel the change. The wind seemed to be blowing at 1 million km per hour; Luna nearly fell off.

"Hold on tight!" Lime roared as he felt Luna slipping.

"Lime! Lime! There is Ember!" Silver called.

Luna looked up and saw the scarlet gleam of scales. Ember was there, waiting for them, on the icy blue mountain peak.

"Ah, you're finally here." Ember opened his jaws and spoke in his ancient voice.

"Y-yes, we're h-here n-now," Moon stuttered. "W-we're here to h-help you to g-get your p-powers b-back..." 

Ember grinned warmly at her. "You don't need to stutter, young one. Let's get moving!" Ember turned to the two dragons, who were bowing in front of him.

"Okay, you sit on my back, and I will lead you to Edward." Ember started.

"Oh no, not that fox-hearted elephant-faced coward!" Moon hissed. 

"You will have to face him." Ember sighed.

The four were silent as they climbed onto Ember's back. Ember flared his wings open, crouched, then as fast as lightning he blasted off into the sky.

"Woah!" Silver yelled as she gripped on a horn.

"This is so fast!" Lime gasped as he clung to another horn.

Ember flew towards an ice valley.

"This is the area where Edward captured you?" Luna wondered.

"Yes," Ember said.

Soon, Ember found a flat area to land. 

"Hey... What a-are y-you d-doing h-here?" A weak voice sounded behind them. 

The group turned around, surprised. 

"Hello again, Edward." Ember's voice was grim.
