In the shadows on a sun rising morning, a tree dragon named Leafy was going adventuring in the darkest parts of the forest. Ok, here I go, he rushed over to a cliff. ‘It’s great to be free!” Yelled Leafy.
I took one step, I fell ahhhh! SMACK! Ow that hurt!
Then I heard bushes rustling. “Hello, anyone there?”
“Hello there, we need a new pet so we can turn it into gold.”
“No, said Leafy in a scared voice. He rushed through the forest. He didn’t know the river was ahead. Splash! ‘drttt’ shivered Leafy. A soaking saved his life.
“Are you ok?”
“Ahh.” Leafy screamed.
“I’ll take you home!”
“But I don’t want to, I want to explore,” he complained.
“If you insist,” he rolled over and dropped him I could see Hammer head dragons and Hump back dragons and my favourite Tuna dragon. I found a glowing light. Its draglantos it’s a myth I went to check it out, it’s so beautiful everyone was staring at me! I also heard some kids say “He is different” and “Who is he.”
I was looking forward and some weirdo bumped into me “Hey, what was that for?” Leafy said suspicious voice.
It was a Chinese dragon. When he saw me he frowned. He went into a tower. Next thing I know an alarm went off. The palace glass was breaking. All the water is flowing inside! Every part was disappearing.
When everything was gone, a hole was underneath it. I thought I heard that I heard lightning after 2 seconds. Anelecrin ell dragon appeared. It zapped me! I quickly swam up and I jumped on sea kings back.
“Now can I go back home!” He smiled.
“All right,” He said. They chatted from sunset.
“He was there, Bye Leafy.”
“Bye,” I said.
“And how do you know my name?”
“I know everything,” He said.
The End.
