Hold on a minute! The baby dragon can talk?! DRAGONS CAN TALK?! WHAT!?

"What a strange reaction. I thought all humans knew that dragons could speak in many languages. Perhaps I am mistaken..." the dragon said. 

Woah. Creatures that aren't human look so cool when they speak in the human language! 

"I don't think people have enough information on dragons to know that. Meeting one is rare after all. And talking to one is even rarer!" I said excitedly. 

THIS IS SO COOL! There are no mythical creatures on Earth, so meeting one in this world is AWESOME!! AND IT CAN TALK!!

"How foolish. Humans are unsophisticated to the point of preposterousness. This is why we dragons will never comprehend human nature," blurted the dragon. 

"You are using some pretty big words for being so young. Look at how small you are!" I said. 

I was a little shocked at how the dragon was speaking, especially since it looked younger than me. 

"Dragons age more slowly than the human race. I should be many times older than you. But, you seem mature for yourself as well," the dragon inquired. 

What it said was true. I'm pretty mature for my age...since my mental age is 19 years old. 

"Whaaa..at? Naw. I'm just a toddler. Also, there is no way that you are older than me. I'm bigger than you!" I said teasingly.

"Hmm...I guess it is difficult to believe my age. What is your name, human?"

"It's Cordelia de Boren Cyllia."

"Thank-you. Now please hold out your hand."

"Huh? Why?"

"Just do it."

"Uhh sure."

I was a little confused at what the dragon was doing. I stretched out my hand anyway, AND THEN IT BIT ME!

"OWIE! THAT HURTS!" I thought this dragon was pretty rational, but apparently, I was wrong. 

My blood flowed out of my hands. Looking at my cut, the dragon licked the wound. Immediately afterward, my cut healed itself in shocking speed.

"That should be a little better, human," said the drag-wait...WHAT! Standing before me was not the dragon. Instead, it was turning into...a human! 

Its black fur became black clothing and its horns changed from blue to black. 

The horns changed shape into spirals and the dragon's body changed into a human. But, the only thing that stayed the same was its alluring emerald eyes and a few of its scales on its hands.
