Everyone still very confused from that story. But they got to take what was given. It was true that DranGon would act like something hadn't known much. But the question remained was why he was trapped there. The book did mention and it related to ocean. But couldn't connect to the reason why he ended up in a cave. However;
-But still curious. Which cave was he in?
-A cave nearby a river, close to the ocean.
-It sounds like a case of water rising and he swam in.
-Good point.
DranGon then coughed, made everyone thought he was awake but tried to make him wake up, he was asleep. He started to snore a little deeper voice, a lot of grr sounds made it felt like he was in the anger of them. Shawon moved toward him and gave him the deepest hug he could. DranGon wasn't even know what was he, neither why was he there. He knew that he just had to follow anything he knew. He lived under a shadow, spent a life in darkness, trapped in fear, suffered through the pain. It was a little close to conclude that DranGon wasn't even a real dragon, nor drake. Shawon has been hurting him a lot, no intentional. He was the biggest history to be covered, but couldn't. He behaved like an elder but also a knownledgeless. He needed someone to cover as he was weak. Even he looked strong, and weak against mental. People made up and created him consciousness, and it couldn't be reversed. If could, everyone would release him back to his nature. But he was really lost, it felt like he was really lost and hopeless. He got fainted quickly, same to weakening, he was blindfully do what people needed. However, what if he was a feral, and killing only? What if he was a monster that do harm to people? And what even if he became a villance and wanted to rule a world? His species was learnt to be friendly and doing harmless. He asked nothing, he wanted nothing, he was nothing and he would never take anything. Shouting at DranGon was a threat, struck him a deep cut in his heart. Coldblooded but with the warmest heart. He was troublemaker, but never complain, even enjoyed. It was painful and damaging, but he wanted to be punished. He felt like deserving those brutal hits, he loved it. People stopped him, he broke through by all cost to get what no one wanted. But not only there, everyone was heartless, they saw a legend, and wanted to kill it as to dominating the world. Nothing was done, he wanted a peace, and that what made him against the law. And everyone was just heartless brain and wanted to hunt him down. He wanted to be in darkness, to be in jail, to be in hell, he deserved nothing of those. He wanted to sacarfired himself for people, to do the work, to give the goods and take no reward back. Unconsciously work, work, work until endless. He never learnt to rest, just work, no force, just work...
Then the surrounding got darker and darker. He snuggled onto Shawon and he had to lean over and laid with him, had a good night.

By the next morning, they were going in the tour, except arrived in the town before sunrise. Everyone started to come together like a noisy, interesting day. People stacked up some barrels and restocked the goodies. Those tomatoes looked fresh, those gems looked precious, those fibers freshly made out of silk. But everyone headed into the barn. It was't ready to open yet but the service started. Started off the day with the whole group ate some hot soup to warm up the stomach. Shawon's eyes were caught by a big chubby dragon walked by.
-Hey, psst.
DranGon caught Shawon back to his consciousness. And continued the walk by.
Fortunately, there was a festival hosted in that day, everyone gathered around the town centre. As people told, it was a traditional festival of their town every year, eating contest. DranGon got excited and he signed up for that.
-Hey dude, you do that quick!
-I love those contest though.
Before the contest started, there was a performance of dancing, looked astonishing! Wogan said. And when it came:
-Let's see... now we are about to start the Eating race. Paticipants each has to eat everything like a kilogram of tomatoes, a chunk of cooked meat and this has been measured correctly, all equal. And also a ghost pepper then finally a whole 2 kilograms of water. Contestors now come over!
-Pepper? Maybe not a good idea but I guess I can play with that.
There were like 5 people came up. There was a very beffy Wolf, he looked big and a muscle gut. Then we have a dragon, except he was the one Shawon got his eyes caught on. Also 2 more they both looked enormous. DranGon at least had a decent size conpare to them.
When he was walking toward the middle, a lot of people looked at him. Some were shock, but some even knew who he was. There was a few of them even shouted his name "DranGon!", couldn't believe they knew him!
The count down was starting everyone started eating. Some ate very quickly but looking at DranGon. He chose to eat the pepper first, his throat started to burn and he snapped up half the amount of tomatoes in one bite, and swallowed all the rest. The meat was tough, but nothing could beat by the fact that he also swallowed it. It was big, stucked at his neck so he chucked in the water. Luckily it slided through and he finished up everything.
-BURPPP!
-TIME! Our contester DranGon won!
He was really full, the host came over and helped pulling him up. And he tapped on that belly.
-Well done, legend. You are the best well-known contester I finally met. You are welcome to have buy anything from our tour for free!
-Burppp. Really?!
-Yes! It's our tradition especially to new comer as well. Take this token.
He handed him the medal, and a token. He also helped pulling up others contester and led them all onto the special sheet. DranGon was led to sit on the highest place and watched the whole show contiously going.
His belly bloated up a lot, Shawon took off his armour before started so he only had the wrap around him and the leggings. He blenched a lot, pushed his belly outward and comfortably sitting and enjoyed his "free meal".

It was late evening, everyone started to go back to where they were. The town looked brighter than ever, DranGon with big belly and his gang wandering around the town and see what to exchange. Everyone had a fun time and it was a very exciting day, too.
