Wolves And Dragons

Vulnerability

"I'm not stripping myself naked for a dragon!" Eret declared angrily.

"Who said you had to strip yourself naked?" Lupa laughed. "You just have to lay on your back and expose the back of your neck. If she flips you onto your back, expose your throat to her."

"And then what do I do?" Eret asked.

"Wait for her to lick your cheek, or rip your throat out." Lupa replied. "I've seen her do that numerous times and either way turned out fine."

"Uh question, who survived the most?" Snotlout asked.

"Not many survived, the majority of people who came to my dragon got killed. I eventually found out that the ones who were killed were not very trustworthy." Lupa answered. "But I trust my dragon's judgment, and I pray that she will trust my brother. Now follow me."

The group followed the teen to the docks where a large copper colored dragon was pacing on the wooden planks with a few large wolves either laying down or pacing along with the dragon.

"Hey Fern I wanna introduce you to someone!" Lupa announced as two wolves ran up to her demanding to be patted it started sniffing Eret's boots and legs.

The Razorwhip turned to face them and it's green eyes narrowed at the sight of Eret. He could see that hate from where he stood and began to wonder if it was such a good idea to meet his sister's very violent dragon.

"Eret drop down to the floor!" Lupa hissed shoving him forward.

'I swear you are gonna be the end of me Lupa.' He thought as he dropped to the floor and layed down and closed his eyes.

He listened to the sound of the dragon's metal scales clinking against each other as she walked towards him. He could feel her warm breath on the back of his neck and shivered a bit when he felt her metal snout touch the exposed skin. He gave a small gasp when he felt the dragon shove her head under his chest and flip him onto his back.

"Don't move!" He heard Lupa his as the dragon came into his view. Eret tilted his head back to expose his throat and felt the dragon continue to sniff him carefully.

Suddenly, there was a loud roar and he saw a blur of red and green slam into the copper Razorwhip. Eret sat up to see his dragon fighting with his sister's dragon and the wolves leaping onto him.

"Skullcrusher!" Eret yelled, leaping to his feet as Lupa raced forward yelling something at her dragon and the wolves in a strange language. The Razorwhip and wolves backed away slowly from the Rumblehorn but still growling as he limped back towards Eret.

"Shhh it's okay lad, you were only protecting me." He said patting the dragon's side and let him gently rub his head against his chest.

"Eret...." Eret turned his head and bit back a yell when he saw the Razorwhip right behind him. "Just stay still." His sister whispered. "Stay still and she will not bite I promise."

Eret suddenly lifted his hand up and extended his arm out towards the dragon. Her nose twitched in curiosity as she stepped forward to sniff the hand. Eret closed his eyes and turned his head away and waited. Then he felt the cool metal snout gently press against his palm and opened one eye to see his sister's dragon's snout pressed against his hand and his sister staring at them in shock.

"She...she has deemed you safe." Lupa said slowly and placed her hand on the copper neck. "You have been accepted into our pack, big brother."
