Eria's Dragon

Eria was from a small village north of the shore. In this world there are many animals that are believed to be mythical. But there is one animal no one could prove if it was real or fake. This animal had large wings and breathe of fire. This animal was called  a dragon. Most myths in this land were true, like the bird of fire and the horse with a horn and wings. Most things that were considered magical  or not real were real inherent world, but no one could prove that dragons existed. But Eria was determined to discover a dragon. One day she decided to head into the forest that surrounded the village. She traveled almost into the middle of the forest when she came across a huge cave behind a waterfall. As she walked closer to the cave, fire came hurdling towards her. She looked to the sky to see a huge, beautiful gold dragon flying above her. The dragon landed in front of her. The dragon asked why she was there and she explained that she stumbled upon the cave. When she was about to leave the dragon stopped her and told her that she was unable to tell anyone else that they existed, she quickly agreed and went back home happy with her discovery.
