At last, we finally arrived at Dragon Valley.

To be honest, it was hotter than I thought. But hey, this was an opportunity to learn more about dragons.

I leaned against Pitaya Cookie as I described as much as I could about the valley's environment in my Journal. I also decided to draw it, since I was pretty good it it.

"Looks OK?" I asked, putting it up against Pitaya Cookie's face.

"Uh- yeah, it looksss fine," he replied.

"Good, otherwise I'm gonna draw you lookin' reeaal stupid in 'ere. Heheh..." I chuckled.

"Y/N Cookie, pleassse don't."

"Too late!"

I laughed at how stupid I drew him. I gave him dot eyes and made him say 'I dum'.

He grumbled in annoyance.

"You're funny like that, y'know?" I smiled mischievously.

"Ssshut up." He walked away from me.

"Aww, whyyyyy?" I whined.

"Becaussse." He smirked.

"THAT'S NOT A REAL ANSWER!"

"Hehe."

"Ahh, heh, well-" Royal Margarine Cookie laughed nervously. "Everyone was saying how scary the Dragon's Valley is, but... this is no big deal at all! Ha ha...!"

We all turned to look at him in confusion. Especially me and Pitaya Cookie. I let out a small snort at his laid-back attitude, but it was really obvious that he was truly terrified.

Tarte Tatin Cookie ignored him. "In this land of volcanoes, the ground is shaking beneath our feet...."

"Are you sssure it'sss not because of Royal Margarine Cookie ssshaking like a leaf right next to you?" Pitaya Cookie joked.

"Ha ha ha!" Royal Margarine Cookie was still nervous. "Wh-who's s-shaking? "Pi-Pi-Pitaya Cookie! Are you sure you aren't the one shaking?!"

"Have no fear! Your wyvern is sssure to protect you."

"That's right, my precious Buttercream...!"

Tarte Tatin Cookie spoke in a more serious tone. "Alright, everyone. Just... focus. We must be on the lookout for any surprises here."

"Tarte Tatin Cookie, remember! Whoever catches the more monsters, wins! The loser buys berry, and lots of it, haha!" Hollyberry Cookie reminded her old friend.

"I will not go soft on you."

"Oh, just you try!"

I smiled at the two and was surprised when Snapdragon popped out of my hair.
"Buuu Buuu GAAAA!"

"Let's go then!" Hollyberry Cookie said.

. . .

As we walked, I was busy writing down important key notes about Dragons Valley. I was describing how the terrain changed according to its weather and current climate. It seemed normal enough for a place inhabited by dragons.

I suddenly fell off P/N's back as they also fell down from the loud sound of a lady-like scream of terror.

"EUAAARGH!!!! Bu-huttercre-heam, slow down...!"

It was Royal Margarine Cookie.

I never knew he could reach such high vocals. It was like me whenever I saw tiny cockroaches creeping around at night in my tent. Poor P/N would never be able to escape all these noises....

And then, just as I got back onto P/N a strong gust of cinnamon powder blew right into our faces! I coughed, P/N sneezed wildly 10 times in a row. Our eyes stung.

"Ha HA!" Pitaya laughed at us. "THIS ssstings your eyes?"

I scowled at him in annoyance while he just smirked mischievously as a reply. I was awfully tempted to call him out as an actual dragon.

"Bwa! Bwaa!" Snapdragon was just happy.

"Over there!" Royal Margarine Cookie called out from the skies. "A cinnamon tornado is approaching! Everyone, be careful!"

. . .

At last, we made it to the centre of Dragon's Valley. It was like one of those hot summer days whenever I spent too much time in the sun, except multiplied by 10!

P/N was panting as they flopped onto the ground. They really needed to cool down, especially since they had such thick fur.

"GORG..." There it was again! Another one of Pitaya Cookie's mysterious words! I immediately flipped to a page that I had made a bit earlier on called 'Dragontongue', where I could write down what Pitaya Cookie said in his main language.

"Gworugu!" Snapdragon repeated.

Pitaya's eyes widened in shock as he gasped. "Did you just...?!"

I then death-stared him. He looked back.

"What. Did. The baby say."

"Nothing, nothing!"

"I'm going to ask again. What did the baby say?"

"Really! Nothing important!"

"Oh, well, it is important is Snapdragon is a BABY!!!"

Piyaya actually cowered in my gaze and tone of voice. He obviously didn't like my sudden outburst.

"Everyone, look...!" Tarte Tatin Cookie shouted.

The Red Dragon came flying down from the red cloudy skies. It was NOT in a good mood.

"Where is flying to?!" Hollyberry Cookie asked.

"The nessst...!" Pitaya Cookie snarled.

"Where the Red Dragon spawned...?"

Pitaya Cookie only growled.

"Let's chase it immediately!" Tarte Tatin Cookie frowned in anger.

We all ran towards where the dragon landed, but it was nowhere to be found!

Just then, it flew down in front of us and let out and ear piercing roar.

"Sssickening...." Pitaya Cookie hated the look of the Red Dragon. "You have no right to this nessst...!"

"Buglyy!" Snapdragon agreed.

"I will not let you escape this time...." Tarte Tatin Cookie's voic3 was filled with sadness and anger.

"NO MERCY!" She and Pitaya Cookie shouted in unision.
