A tale of ancient magical creatures living right under our noses behind a thin veil of magic and mythical creatures living in the ordinary everyday world. Right there in your neighbourhood. Our nice 'NORMAL' neighbourhood.?!
An adult fairytale of...
Life was just plodding along for Dragoon and Yasmina, walking the boys , watching for their target , now that they have a ready supply of chilies and peppers and Derek made his regular deliveries of special enriched meat for Dragoon and the boys , among his other duties. "We shall be prepared should we finally find our target anytime soon." She thought to herself . The neighbour that is growing the chilli and pepper crops for them , is doing an excellent job caring for the plants, they are a healthy and an abundant crop . Even her little gnome friend is helping keep the weeds at bay and picks the caterpillars off and relocates them elsewhere, appreciative of the fact that 'the dragon' saved him from being devoured by the sewer rat....

It was a beautiful evening , there was a full moon, Yasmina was just standing on the balcony admiring its beauty, Dragoon was just up flying about , stretching his wings , letting off steam (it was taking way to long to find their target ) Staring at the moon was hypnotic and her thoughts drifted back to long ago, to when they entered each others lives. I came from a long line of time warriors ( no longer called that ) basically these days we are like human police but more inter dimensional law enforcement. We catch criminals that enter this dimension to avoid punishment (return them to their own time and place . ) Sometimes it's the poachers who trade animals or beings that don't exist in this realm we find them and return them to their place of origin....mostly. I was fairly young when I was given small assignments catching small creatures and relocating them to where they belong , or using my developing ability to hypnotise and convince people to do what I wish , or more precisely what they needed to do , or should be doing . While my ability wasn't well developed at this stage it was definitely given a kickstart by this latest event.. I was out to check and begin monitoring this new clutch of eggs a mother dragon had recently laid , and the hatchlings .... There was a rumour that one had the ability to shapeshift, someone saw it show some human traits briefly . ( this Is a special rare ability, some people prize it while others are afraid of it , and set out to destroy it ) this day I was on my way to the cave to check on mother and her babies when I saw some men with spears.. gracious me , this is the first time I will have had to deal with a group of hunters. My heart was pounding so hard I thought it would jump out of my chest . By the time I reached the cave the hunters were battling the mother dragon . It was a terrible sight , mother dragon was afraid for her babies and angry that they were trying to hurt them, one small hatchling had already lost its life . (It filled Yasmina with sadness, for they are magnificent but vastly misunderstood creatures .) Mother dragon shot a burst of flame at the hunter that took her babies life. The screams from that man were bloodcurdling... Covered in extensive burns he turned and ran while he could. Sadly while shooting fire at that hunter another struck a deadly blow to the mother dragon from the side ,one hunter got her in the heart, as she fell to the ground the one holding the sword got her on the jugular it was the saddest sight i had seen so far in my young life , the mother dragon was just about finished , blood flowing , gasping for air . I was feeling immense sadness , my tears were flowing , and was clouded by intense anger at these stupid cruel ignorant men. I turned on them I tried to turn on the charm , but I need to keep control for it to work . I was finding it difficult to control my anger , but I must . I wiped my face , lowered my voice to a melodic croon ( I really wanted to convince them to turn on each other , but that's not who iam .... Must keep control ) I grabbed their attention, their eyes glazed over ,I put into their minds that there is no danger , never was , all is well, they must stay away from these caves , in fact forget they exist and Never return . As they left I turned my attention to the dying mother dragon, I looked into her eyes , stoked her scaley face and spoke softly trying to ease her pain ( as there was nothing I could do to save her or her babies ) she had unfortunately fallen onto the remaining baby and the so far unhatched eggs and they were lost . As a giant salty tear fell from the corner of her eye , she looked at me she let out a pitiful sound and the light went out of her . I just sat there just bawling, the senseless destruction and loss of those precious babies . It broke my heart .
