How to Train Your Dragon Fairy

Sushi anyone?

A.N.: I added an image of the wyvern because I figured everyone already knew what an iguanodon looks like since it's one of the most popularized dinosaurs. (I mean, we've all seen the movie Dinosaur and rooted for Aladar. If you haven't, then what are you doing with your life?!)

21 days earlier...

Melody woke up scratching herself. Mosquitoes seemed to consider her an all-you-can-eat buffet, stinging her over and over again like locusts pillaging farm crops. Her skin was now a quilt of red, itchy bumps. The other Winx didn't seem to be bothered by the mini vampires, though. This had been going on for a week now.

And to think Subari's home had looked like an oasis in a monster-infested world: a large clearing around a beautifully sparkling lake near Subari's treehouse of awesomeness. Yet the dragon fairy had warned Melody not to swim in the lake and its inviting crystal clear water. She said it was haunted.

An ancient water demon called Varunor inhabited the lake. Varunor needed to remain in a body of water because of its spirit form. To walk on land the water demon used its ghastly water tentaclesto possess unknowing passers-by. On Pyros that usually meant dragons (and dinosaurs). Yet over the ages, the skittish reptiles had learned to shy away from Varunor's lake, so the demon remained in its watery prison.

So, Melody sauntered into the dining room of Subari's treehouse still scratching her mosquito bites. Although branches and leaves poked through the windows, the dining room was nicely furnished with Subari's handcrafted belongings. The wooden dining table the Winx were sitting on displayed a breakfast that Melody, as a princess, considered modest at best.

For breakfast the five girls were having a steaming porridge boiled from grains Subari had grown herself. There was honey, jams Subari had preserved, dried fruits Melody didn't recognize (she couldn't even pronounce their names), and coconut chips and milk. As the mermaid fairy scooped up a bowl of porridge, she noticed she was still scratching her mosquito bites while the other Winx were calmly enjoying breakfast.

"Why am I getting bitten every night?" The four other fairies raised their eyebrows at that. "Mosquitoes have been sucking me dry for days!"

"Haven't you been using a mosquito net?" Cristina asked.

Melody's pupils grew to the size of marbles as she realized she had dropped the ball. "Mosquito net?"

"Yeah, the mesh you refused to use because nets are deathtraps for fish?"

The mermaid fairy just stared at Cristina cursing her own stupidity. She had gone full retard. Never go full retard. Then Subari stood up and planted her hands flat on the table. She looked intently at the other fairies.

"Listen ladies, we're running out of jerky, so today we'll be hunting," she smiled as if she had just asked to pass the butter. The other fairies looked at her as if she had just proposed to block out the sun.

"Hunting what?" Jenny drew out the last word.

"Dragons," she grinned. Now the other Winx looked as if she had just asked them...well...to hunt dragons because it's not like you go hunting fire-breathing monsters for fun.

Three hours later, the Winx were hidden in the bushes on the bank of a shallow lake in the swamp adjacent to Subari's home. While Melody was swatting mosquitoes, the other fairies watched a massive herd of herbivores drinking on the bank across from them. These quadrupeds had beaks, conical spikes for thumbs, and three hoof-like claws on their hind feet. This species was called iguanodon.
