The dragon's long body flicked through the air. Wind whistled around us, and a chill passed through me. I clutched tightly at the dragons hard, shiny scales, and pressed my body against its back. Flecks of stone still wafted to the ground, blown on the breeze of the dragon's wings. The air was thin, cold and hard to breathe. I shivered against the dragon, and he must have felt it, because we whirled around a mountain, and landed outside the mouth of a cave.

I stumbled inside, and collapsed onto the hard ground. The dragon walked in, his long, snake-like body coiling around me. It scratched its claws against the hard stone, then lifted them high, and brought them down hard. A small patch of rock turned into dirt before my eyes.

This did not surprise me, however, as many dragons are elemental dragons. Then, he did something that also didn't surprise me. He spat a seed into the earth. However, the next thing he did was extremely surprising. He blew water droplets all over the seed, and it grew into a small plant. Two elements? Earth, and water? Then, his razor sharp talons lashed out, cutting the branches from the tree. Little apples fell to the ground, as did the branches.

The dragon pushed the branches together, and the apples he pushes back beside the tree trunk. He chopped the little twigs from the branches, and arranged them into little piles. Clever dragon. Of course it is! It's a dragon. They are highly intelligent, more so than us even, sent from above to help and protect us.

He tapped the ground beside his front leg, and I crawled across the ground to sit with him. He pushed the sticks together, then an ember flew from his mouth. "Ah!" I cried, as the twigs caught alight, crackling, filling the cave with warmth. My eyes trailed to the dragon's face. "What are you?" I whispered.

"Well, a dragon of course."
