Hideous Zippleback 1

Chapter 1

"Hey Johann..." You asked sweetly.

He sighed, putting down a box he was carrying.

"Spit it out. What mess have you made this time? Did you destroy another crop shipment?"

You chuckled akwardly.

"What! No ,I didn't- okay maybe some cabbages, but that's not what I'm getting at. We're getting low on provisions, so I thought, why not stop by an island to look for some. I could use some time to rest my sea legs too."

"Ah, very well then. Check the map for me. Which island is closest?"

You went over to the large world map, and placed your finger on the nearest one.

"Seems to be... Isles of Doom. You know this place?"

He looked whistfully.

"This island still holds too many secrets. Though it is said be covered in gas vents, perfect home for the sneaky dragon. It'll take us 4hrs to get there, so buckle in."

"Aye, aye captain."

When you were finally docked on the island, you couldn't wait to get off. Before you could run off though, Johan called out.

"Don't go running off to far! We're only docking for a few hours while I gather supplies! And watch out for dragons! The wild ones won't hesitate to kill you!"

"Got it!"

And you immediately went to go look for a dragon. Were you reckless? Definitely. Did you care? Nope. You just want a dragon, and your pretty sure your survival instincts are fried anyway.

It didn't take much exploring to realize this island smelled. Like, it smelt really bad. The smell probably came from the gas vents, that made a green fog cover the island.

You were wondering around for a bit when you found a dragon nest under a bare tree. the eggs have a pattern of scales similar to the markings on the neck and back of a Zippleback, and are green.

Now this may seem morally incorrect, but... You really want a dragon. And there is like a dozen eggs here! I'm sure the mom won't miss just the one being missing. Probably won't even notice it's gone.

Making you decision, you grabbed one of the eggs and placed it securely In the bag you brought with you. Now, to get out of her without the mama noticing... You felt a breath on the back of your neck, and froze. Shit...

Turning around, you came face to face with a 2 headed dragon. This must be the mama, and she did not look to happy.

"Hi there~ great meeting you and all, but... Bye!"

You dodged and weaved threw trees as the dragon chased you. The heads tried to go around one tree in different directions, and crashed into it. While it was stuck, you made your escape.

You headed quickly back to the boat, and Johan waved to you.

"Good, your back! I was just finishing up!"

"Perfect! We should really be going now..."

He frowned and gave you a stern glare.

"What did you do?"

"So you know how you told me to stay away from dragons? Well, funny thing..."

He sighed deeply.

"You pissed one off, didn't you?"

You sweat dropped.

"What can I say? Typical Mondays, am I right? But seriously, we should go before it wakes back up."
