Tyra's P.O.V.

"Hail, Piper McLean. Daughter of Aphrodite, lady of the doves, goddess of love."

Once that was over with, Leo tugged on my hand and leaned over.

"Wanna get out of here?" He asked. I nodded. We stood up and snuck out and into the woods.

"Where are we going?" I asked as we walked through the dark woods. He held my hand dragging me along. I could already feel my cheeks burning.

"We are going on a little adventure." He replied. I raised an eyebrow.

"An adventure to where?" I asked.

"To find a dragon."

"This wouldn't happen to be the huge dragon that tries to kill anyone and anything that comes out here, does it?" I asked, even though I knew the answer.

"...Maybe." he mumbled. "But I promise you won't get hurt."

I squinted my eyes at him. "Its not myself getting hurt that I'm worried about."

"Hey! I'll have you know, I'm perfectly capable of taming a metal dragon." He protested. I raised my eyebrows.

"Have you even thought of a plan?" I asked.

"Duh.."

"And what would that plan be?"

"....Well, easy, I'm gonna go talk to it. You know, use some of my famous Leo charm."

I scoffed playfully. "What charm ?"

"Oh, please. Don't act like you don't love me. All the ladies do." He said proudly. I laughed.

"What ladies are you talking about?" I asked.

"Well, I can't really remember their names..." he said. "But there were alot. I was quite a player."

I burst out laughing. "A player? You?"

"You know it." He winked.

I blushed slightly and smiled at his childish behavior.

However, our happiness was cut short when we spotted something in the bushes.

In front of us, stood a bronze Dragon.

"Wow" I said.

We continued to stare at it, but then I noticed something.

"You don't have wings," Leo said. The dragon stopped snarling and tilted it's head.

"Hey, no offense," he said. "You're amazing! Good god, who made you? Are you hydraulic or nuclear powered or what? But if it was me, I would've put wings on you. What kind of dragon doesn't have wings? I guess maybe you're too heavy to fly? I should've thought of that."

"Uh, Leo, I don't think he understands."I said.

The dragon took a step forward, and Leo shouted, "No!"

The dragon snarled again.

"It's a trap, bronze brain," he said.

"They're trying to catch you." I finished.

Then the dragon opened it's mouth and blew fire on Leo. I jumped out of the way just in time.

He had been completely on fire for a minute before the flames died down.

"You can't burn me," Leo told it.

It seemed a little upset that it hadn't burned Leo, so this time it turned it's attention to me.
