Hey I'm Ace Drepspótt you know the main character. When you looked at this description of the story......well let's be real you probably didn't who cares but if you did you probably thought."Hey this might be interesting." Well it's not well really well not for me traveling around kinda gets annoying for a while.
What more should I tell you. Maybe what I look like because the author won't. What should I start with? First I'm about a sheep and a quarter or maybe a half in height but I don't weigh that much . Let's see what else oh I have brown hair, I'm eighteen and my best friend is a dragon, nothing much. He is a pretty cool dragon called a Sand Wraith. How I know he is a Sand Wraith you may ask because that is what my village told me he was when he was.......any forget about that, his name is Roco he's better than most humans I met and when a mean better I mean like a lot better. But I'm not going to tell you why he is great right now....you will figure it out in the story so anyway let's begin.
Laying down on the back of Roco mid flight. Looking into the bright blue sky seeing the clouds passing me and Roco. I wonder what it feels like being a cloud able to change what you are to water to air then to a cloud.
Yeah I think about what it would be like to be a cloud don't judge. I look to my right seeing Roco wings glide through the air how the air helps him to aflot or is it a fly whatever it is that helps him with his flying. Anyway I rubbed my hand against Roco's skin. His skin felt like sand,soft and ruff at the same time. I always thought that was neat. Like if we could fly without dragons neat.
I feel my chest which a strap was on to help me keep my bag with me. If I didn't have the strap, well let's say I wouldn't have any personal items. I signed in relief. I thought I forgot my bag on the last island. I sat up feeling pain in me back looking at my dragon.
"Hey pal." He growls lightly in response. I smile a bit patting his head. And guess what he enjoyed it. Because he purred in response. I couldn't help but keep a smile on my face.Looking to my side I saw my bag hanging there. It was a leather tan bag that was small enough to carry by hand but big enough to hold multiple items in it. I grabbed my bag and opened it.There was a medium size leather bota. A bota is something that holds water. There you learned something new I think.
I grabbed the bota out of the bag and started swishing it about. It sounds like it has some water in it, not a lot but not a little. It should help me keep my hydrated. I twisted the cap and to a swig then turned the cap on and turned it until it was tight. I place the bota back into the bag. Then I grab the rolled up piece of paper with my right hand and close my bag with my left and put it off to the side. I unroll the piece of paper and guess what it was....... nothing well its a map sweet huh.
I point on the map at an island where we were yesterday. It was small, not the smallest island I had been to but not big either. There wasn't even a forest which really had an effect on getting food . Good thing Roco got fish for us or we would be hungry and angry. Hmm hungry and angry there has to be a word for those two together. I slide my finger against the paper until my finger reaches another island. I taped on the island.
"I might take a while but if we keep flying straight we will reach the island. "
Roco purrs in agreement. I pat him on the side of his neck. I rolled up the piece of paper and opened up my bag and placed it against an apple and "my" journal. If you didn't get what I mean with "my" journal I stole it from some people okay. "You think you can last a couple of more hours."
He chuckles. I roll my eyes and smack my forehead. "You know your ego is going to get the better of you and maybe get us caught." He growls in response. " Ha you really are my dragon!" I scratched his neck and he purred in response. "Now I think we should continue on reading "my" journal."
I grab the journal in my bag and close the bag and set it aside. There is a pencil in the book to help me keep track of the page I was on. I opened up to the page and I saw what I thought was a giant gulper eel with wings, and that has spikes. I look at the top of the page.
"Whispering death."
I chuckled. "This thing doesn't look like it whispers." But it does burrow in the ground which I found interesting from it having wings.
I continued reading until I saw on the lower part of the page turn to boulder class to sharp class. Who came up with the names of these classes of dragon and why classes. I only have two classes of dragons. Awesome like Roco and dangerous but lucky I haven't seen any yet hopefully I won't. I do have Roco but I don't have a weapon need to get one of those.
" So there are different classes huh how many classes seven, eight hopefully there are just two."
I look at Roco then I pat his head. "Wonder what class you are in pal." Then put my hand over my eyes to help get the sun out of my eyes and I think it helps me identify things farther away. I might sound crazy but I really think it helps.
I don't know why I did it,it felt right. But I saw the island that was on the map in front of us. A couple of minutes later we were circling the island to find a beach. The island wasn't big so it didn't take long but if it didn't have a beach well my dragon is a sand wraith it goes with the name so I just think its a good idea to have a beach. We landed on the beach but when we landed I fell out of the saddle.
"Oh gods this feels amazing."
I looked over at Roco who collapsed and was looking at me. " I still can't believe me and you are a team pal." He growls softly in response. I stood up slowly and my legs cracked. "Man that felt amazing." I rolled my neck around and sometimes it cracked which felt great but I should have stretched more.
I clapped my hands "Okay Roco you rest up I will go find some fresh water and food." He looks at me worried. I walk over to his head and pat on his head. "It's alright nothing here will be able to get me, I'm too smart for that." Roco rolls his eyes.
I start to walk off.
"I will be back when the sun goes down."
I wave to him. And I did find a river so I refilled the bota and I found some dead tree limbs on the ground and some apples and bananas so we won't go hungry tonight. I walk over to the camp side where I see a wet sand trail lead to Roco eating a fish. It took an hour or so but I was able to make a fire. By rubbing sticks together. I cooked some fish Roco caught. I looked over at Roco. He was warming up some sand with his fire, which is just sand with fire on it.
Which I think is weird. Does he have sand in his body or does he eat sand then heats it up? I don't know and I don't care. But thanks to that he made some heated sand for use to relax on. After a while me and Roco were eating fish and the sun was setting. Roco curled up against me and it felt good, nice and warm. I rub my hand against his head and slowly close my eyes but before I fall asleep I said.
"Here is another normal day for us."
