Meeting Dragons
Forum-Index → Roleplay → Private RP → Meeting DragonsPumpkin had gotten herself hurt. Really hurt. The delicate feathers on her forehead weren't feathers at all but rather antennae. She could sense when someone was approaching. Currently, she couldn't do that though. They were broken and she was not okay with that. She'd landed in human country. They'd knocked her from the stormy skies and no doubt were coming to kill her. She had to be ready! Using her magic, she tried to shield herself and glamour anyone who looked at her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jake watched the creature high in the sky. This time, it wouldn't eat their livestock! This time, he was gonna kill it! Firing his weapon, he let the net sore straight for the creature. He shouted when it fell to the ground before racing to where it had landed. He didn't want anyone to know until he brought it back.
The young girl, Sam, ran and ran. She had seen the dragon go down but not where. She was hoping that it was still alive so she could try adn talk to it, maybe befriend it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Phoenix laid there where he landed. His wings were caught in the net but luckily weren't broken. his back spins though... He wasnt flying anytime soon.
Pumpkin tried to stand. But as soon as she put weight on her hind leg, she went down. Hissing, she looked at it. Broken. Darn it! And her wing too. She couldn't straighten it so no flying was to be done for a long while..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jake abled through the forest, silent as a deer. He had his bow out and his quiver of arrows on his back. A large sword was belted to his waist and his boots were thick and protective. He wasn't letting this dragon get away! It had eaten the last of his families livestock! Then he saw it, the white and silver clear against the green of the forest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He was just laying there, trapped in the net. He didnt move or anything.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jake was suddenly really afraid he'd hurt it. Careful to snap a branch, he walked forward. "Hey...um...dragon? Don't eat me, okay?" he said, reaching out his hand so he could smell him. ...maybe I didn't want to hurt it...oh gods...what did I do? Oh! He's got to be hurt...he was just flying...I don't know if it was him or not...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"...I...I'm sorry...I shouldn't have....um...here, let me get you out of that, okay?" he asked, setting aside his bow and arrows. Then he pulled out a knife from his boot. "I'm going to cut the net, okay? Please...please don't breath fire at me..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He waited till he was fully free before springing to life and pouncing on him. He growled at the boy and drew in a breath, as if attacking. But instead of fire, he just lightly roared at him. Then bounded away trying to fly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jake lay there stunned for a moment. He was alive?! It hadn't killed him?! "H-Hey! Wait!" he called, scrambling up and running after him. "You're going to hurt yourself like that! Please, let me help?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He ignored him and left him behind. He ended up in a small hidden lake, but at least he was away from the human.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He raced after him, tracking him through the forest until he reached the lake. "Dragon? I'm sorry...I shouldn't have done that! It was cruel. Can I please hunt you a deer? Or fish? Or something to help?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He was curled up and when he came near, he growled and moved to another spot. He just wanted to be alone for a bit. That was it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jake left. He went to hunt. Maybe he could apologize that way. He returned sometime later and set it all down. Then moved a bit away and started making a huge shelter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Phoenix watched him, half interested in what he was doing. He slowly neared the dead animal and stole a few bites before slinking back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jake saw and said, "I got that for you. You can have it all. I want you to have it all. I'm sorry...it's not enough...but I'm sorry...I hurt you and you can't fly, can you? So I am making you someplace warm and dry to sleep. I want to see if I can set anything to help it heal. I understand if you don't want me near you...but I have to try..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Phoenix didnt really like walking meat, he liked the plants and fish more. He looked out at the forest sadly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jake watched him, feeling worse. He noted that he liked the fish. "What's your name? I'm Jake."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He looked back at him with a face taht said: you really think I can talk? Is this human for real? He asked himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jake recoiled, finishing the shelter. "Fine...I just...forget it. I thought you were different...I was wrong. You're just like the ones who took my family..." he whispered. "You showed me a small mercy and didn't kill me. I won't hurt you. But you can do everything else on your own! Stupid, hurtful creatures..." he muttered, grabbing his stuff and walking off into the forest.
