I was reading in the study with my father when I had another fit of coughing I reached for a tissue on the table next to me the holder stayed glued to the table.  My father Will Nekton continued to stare at the map on the table. I went to join him and my mom walked into the room. "We have newer maps" She said "I know Kaiko." my father said pleasantly, I blinked a couple times "We have satellite maps "We know mom" I said "All sorts of tech went into them!" she bent over as though she was telling us a secret "some of them are even drawn in pencil." I laughed and coughed again my blinking and shrugging quickly following. "I know Kaiko" my father said again with amusement in his voice. "Then why-" my father cut her off "there are parts of this map that are surprisingly accurate, and there are parts that are marked 'here be dragons'" "Will we have newer maps" Mom folded her arms. "A week ago" my father said passionately "There was an earthquake off the coast of Greenland, since then there have been some strange reports." "What sort of reports?" my mom asked skeptically "Sightings, monster sightings" I said bringing up last nights news "And a fishing boat went missing." "This is a map of the exact area, and I was just thinking what if  there were." "were what?" my mother asked confused "Dragons" I coughed my blinks came back.  "Yes!" my younger brother by four years Ant cheered "It's probably not dragons" my mom said still skeptical "Probably not" My dad's face fell "But that's never stopped us before!" "So were going to Greenland to search for dragons. What do you think normal families do on a Sunday?" Fontaine asked "Well Fontaine, we definitely are not normal." I said. "Who cares!" Ant yelled "dragons!"
