"So, I suppose we should head for Kals' Farm Town now", I said after a long bit of silence. We were drifting away from Kals' mountains. Everyone were a bit shook after the encounter with the Stone dragons.
"I agree. How many dragons do you think we need for the mission?" Creek asked. She was flying beside Rattle, who was wobbling in the air.
"I'm not sure. Honestly, I've never met any Dawn dragons before. I wonder if they're nice", I thought outloud. What if the Dawn dragons were just as bad as the Stone dragons? But then again, would so uncivilized dragons live in a village they built with their own sweat and tears?
"They've gotta be friendlier than Stone dragons! At least I hope so", said Creek.
"Yeah, you're right-" I suddenly heard a strange noise; like another pair of wings. I twisted my head around. "Did you guys hear that?"
Creek also twisted her head around and gasped: "We're being followed!"
I stopped to hover in the air and Rattle began to fly in little circles.
I spotted the dragon Creek was talking about; I was actually expecting them to be either Eclipse Moon or Beryl, but no, they were a small stone dragon.
"Hey! Excuse me?" I asked calmly. The dragon had stopped mid-air and was hovering right before us. "Are you following us?"
The stone dragon blinked a couple of times before answering: "Would you believe it if I said no?" I recognised that voice; she was one of the dragons who were dragging me and my siblings up the cave in the mountain.
"No, we know you're following us. Why are you here?" Creek demanded. She was rattling her in-wings and lashing her tail.
"I, um, well, I just thought- I thought if I captured even at least one of you and brought you back to my peers, they would.. respect me more", she stammered.
"And how did you plan on doing that?" I asked. This dragonet was even smaller than us.
"With my lightning shooting abilities, obviously", the stone dragonet scoffed.
Creek gave me a sly grin before launching forward at the stone dragon. The dragonet yelped as Creek dug her claws into her shoulders and smacked her head with her tail, knocking her unconscious.
"You didn't need to do that!" Rattle yelped.
"She would've used her lightning breath otherwise! We couldn't risk it", Creek hovered back to us, carrying the unconscious body of the smaller dragonet.
"Are we just gonna bring her to Kals' farm town with us?" I asked, examining the limp stone dragon.
"That was the plan. Or I could kill it, too, if you really want me to", Creek added.
"No! There's no need for that. Let's head to the Farm town now. Someone there can take care of her", I stated and took off again. Creek threw the unconscious body over her shoulder and followed me. Rattle finished his final circle in the air and came right after us, making sure the stone dragonet wouldn't fall off of our sister's shoulders.
We arrived at the Farm Town before sunset and decided to land near the edge.
"So, we just walk in?" Rattle asked and helped Creek put down the unconscious body.
"How else does one arrive at a town? You think we dig ourselves up from underground?" Creek said.
"Let's go. I think we can spend the night here", I groaned.
Creek threw the stone dragon on her shoulders again, despite Rattle's request to carry her himself.
The town was teeming in life. Blue-and-yellow dragons all around, trading and doing chores. I spotted a few dune dragons aswell.
