The seek of the hidden dragons

Moon Dovah

We continue to walk and Cleo hasn't noticed the creature. It stays in the shadows and is powerful. I can feel the radiation of its power. It gives me strength. As we are walking Cleo is asking questions, again.

"So, how come your backpack isn't really heavy?"
"Magic," I answer bluntly, concentrating on the creature behind us.
"How does that work? You go to settings and change the weight?"
I just sigh and shake my head.

"And, what are you wearing, it's hideous," She says
"Not as hideous as your face," Apollo says

"It's called a poncho, really handy and warm. It makes you feel like a flying squirrel." I say with a sarcastic smile and flapping my arms.

We hear a branch snapping and all of us turn around.
"It's probably nothing," Cleo says

"We are going to camp here for the night," I say sternly.
"But why? The town is only 3 hours away." Cleo protests.
"Because I said so."
"Okay. Fine." She mumbles

We set camp and it starts to get dark.
"I'll be on watch," I say
"I'll sleep inside," Cleo says
"I'm gonna stay," Apollo says
I nod to Apollo, knowing the creature will come out tonight.

It's dark and there is a full moon. The town's lights are on but go off one by one.

I lie on my back watching the stars almost falling asleep when something big comes in front of the moon. I stand up and Apollo says with closed eyes
"Don't worry, it's just a cloud"
"Really? Open your eyes"
He opens his eyes and sees wings flapping before the moon.
"A really weird shaped cloud?" He says
I give him a glare and flap my wings out.
"You're not gonna fly over there are you?"
"No I'm just stretching," I say sarcastically, "yes, I'm going to fly over there"
Just as I start to approach it I see it coming our way. I get back down and Apollo says
"Looks like you don't need to fly over there."
The closer it gets, the bigger it gets.
"Hey, Dragonlord, can't you use your powers so it won't attack us? " Apollo asks
"It's a great dragon" I state
"Really?! Haven't noticed!" Apollo says sarcastically.
"That means it can resist my powers and chose if it will listen to me," I say, "but I'll try it"
"Dreh ni nos. Zu'u dovah drog" (do not attack. I am the dragonlord)
It continues to fly towards us. It takes a deep breath and speels fire. Apollo and I run away and hide behind a tree.
Meanwhile, Cleo is asleep.
"HOW CAN YOU MISTAKE THAT FOR A CLOUD?!" I scream at Apollo
"OH, MY BAD I HAD MY EYES CLOSED!" Apollo screams back.
"COULD'VE OPENED THEM"
"YA I KNOW NOW"
"Wait, it understands English no?" I ask
"Yeah, so? How's that gonna help us?"

"YOU STOP RIGHT THERE!!!" I scream at the great dragon flying a little and my eyes glowing green.
"Did not see that one coming, " Apollo mutters

It stops immediately and stands down. It bows before me and says

"My apologies Great Dragonlord I had no idea it was you"
"Who are you?" Apollo asks

"I am Moon Dovah, or as the mortal now me the Moon Dragon. The moon gives me power and then only can I come outside. Else I have to stay in the darkness."

"We could feel you follow us. Why?" I ask

"I could smell the sea but it was the girl with the sea eyes."

"Cleo?!" Apollo says in disbelief, "She doesn't smell like the sea, more like the fish who swim in it"
I give him a glare and he shuts up.

"You can resist my powers," I state.

"Many of us can but you used them at their minimum when you called for me to stop you did not even use half of them. And yet I stand here unwillingly."

"Really, cool," I say," Come with us, there is another great dragon inside. He is a Fire Dragon. I have a room for you where you can see the moon all of the time."

We go inside and go to sleep.
