Sha L. Lin

lighter

Mid-moon, his mother had gone out for a walk a while ago, she'd gone trying to persuade the vendors into "lending her some gold" Why? He still hasn't gotten an answer, especially when he's too scared to ask.

Estatic he thumped his tail and hopped out of the cave, into the calm light. He wondered about a little farther from yesterday
Petting the grasses and dried up leaves
Till jumping back at the sight of a lighter, he crouched into the thick grasses and watched the  bug move about
It was the size of his head, maybe even a bit bigger with emerald wings and a glowing bulb hanging off it's hind,
It buzzed about till it spotted him
It drew in
Closer
And closer
Till it was at his snout
Sha blinked back in wonder and bumped to it's smooth face
"Hello"
He said
"Who are you?"
The lighter buzzed, curious at this dragons kindness, seeing as whom it was
"I-I am Mimi"
"Oh hello Mimi, I'm Sha"
Mimi bowed down
"What are you doing?" Asked in a curious voice
"I am-nothing my Lord"
"What's a Lord?"
Mimi thought for a second, she froze, then continued
"What are you doing in this forest all alone? Someone aught to be looking for you"
"No one's looking for me, not yet"
"Oh" spoke Mimi "Well it's dangerous to be out here alone, go on, scurry home"
"Oh but please! Will I be able to see you tomorrow?No ones ever been this quiet nor talkative at me before"
"Quiet? " "Yes, quiet. Mother never talks to me, unless she wants something or is curious about another something but whenever she does talk to me she shouts, which isn't really all that pleasant"
'Oh my' thought the lighter
"Okay dear, I'll see what I can do about tomorrow, keep in mind I might be busy so don't you wonder farther if you don't see me. Alright?"
"Oh, alright. Thank you"
"Okay dear"

Oh yes an estatic wonder he was
Finally, someone to talk to! He'd gotten bored of speaking to the muzi mice
Those chirpy little creatures always interrupted him.

'finally, he thought while skipping home

Perhaps a bit too early, his mother wouldn't be home till a stick later

He began cleaning up the mess he lead in and washed himself up in the process since
"Mud is for the peasants and no son of mine shall...play in it"

By the time he got clean his mother came home

She threw three shimmering coins into her hoard and huffed
Today hadn't been a good day

She then growled about dinner which got answered by his father's thundering waves of wind at the door, dragging along a mute tailed deer and presenting it at the table

Sha waited till they both dug in and then scrounged around for whatever was left
Which was...of course ..huffed upon
"A mighty dragon takes what it wants, it doesn't wait"
One of the rules he wouldn't take
Not even when they starved him for a 24 of a moon, he wouldn't break

He slept happily that day, waiting till the next mid-morning to rise

Muzi mice are fuzy balls of fur with humongous stripped ears and a bell for a tail, they love causing chaos in small homes

Lighters are basically just 4ft tall lightning bugs with rabbit looking antenna and armor skin
