Fire and Ash (Full Chapter)

Fonaar was chowing down on the remains of one of the wild boars he killed when the wind shifted and he caught the whiff of a foreign scent. He lifts his head up, using his long tongue to lick all of the blood from around his face as he sniffs the air, trying to pinpoint the new scent. Whoever it belongs to must have recently arrived in the area.

From what he could go off of, the scent smell akin to a volcano, a mixture of fire and sulfur.

The dragon took one long sniff and his eyes widen in shock. He could smell both Romeo's and the new arrival's scent and they had nearly the same potency, indicating that they were at least in the same area as each other. He lets off a feral growl, knowing that the only reason he was eating so far away from Romeo was that the boy apparently couldn't stomach his eating habits but now it seems that that was a mistake.

But there would be time to dwell upon that later, he had to move. Quickly.

"And there's mommy and daddy. Juliet and Rosalina", Romeo said as he drew stick figures of his family in the dirt while he waiting for the dragon to finish eating, "Me and....Fonaar?", he slowly said as he looks closer at the drawing that was supposed to resemble his friend.

"Would mommy and daddy let me keep him? He is kind of big", he tells himself.

The boy stares at the ground for a little while, taking in the drawing while wondering just how he was going to convince his parents to let him keep the dragon because even at his young age he knew that Fonaar wasn't going to just go away so easily.

"Be alert, young Wild Master. Danger is near.", he suddenly heard a voice call out to him.

Romeo snaps his head and began looking all around. He swore he just heard the same voice he heard at the temple and when the giant spider attack. But where was it coming from?

"Fonaar? Fonaar?", he began calling out, hoping that the dragon was nearby.

As if on cue Romeo turns and spots the familiar figure of the ash-coated dragon bounding toward him in a hurry. His eyes were narrow, his claws were extended out and his teeth were bared.

"Fonaar?", Romeo says right before the dragon leapt into the air. The boy watches as he soars over him and as he follows his movement he caught sight of something large and red just out of his direct line of sight.

Turning his full attention to whatever it was, he is shocked to see that it was another dragon, and not even a second later witnesses Fonaar crash into it with a roar that nearly shattered his eardrums.

Back at Magnolia

Enno stood frozen in surprise while looking out the window in front of the kitchen sink with a thousand-yard stare, the plate that she was washing slipping out of her hand and landed back on top of the others she had yet to clean.

For a moment in time, she wonders if she heard correctly what her oldest child just said to her. A quick glance over her shoulder confirmed that her husband couldn't believe what he just heard either as he pulls the newspaper that he was reading down to look at his daughters.

"Juliet, dear", Macao began after recovering, "Can you say that again?"

"Can't Romeo just stay there at that village he's visiting?", the eldest Conbolt sibling repeated, prompting a nod from the youngest, "Does he really have to come home once he's done with Grandma Porlyusica? It's not like anyone really misses him here."
