You are led into a large, comfortable cave. The air feels of spring; warmth surrounds you like a blanket. You admire the ceiling, which has been sculpted to form a dome. In fact, it's so mesmerising that you barely notice the blue dragon in front of you until he speaks.
'And just what do you think you're doing here, eh? Traipsing around in other peoples' homes, walking in unannounced. Well, I won't stand for it! What do you want? A scale maybe? Some blood for a magic spell? I need my blood! I want my scales! How would you like it if I took your pants? 'Pardon me, but it's a magic spell! My aunt's husband's second cousin twice removed's brother-in-law's niece ate a toadstool she was told not to eat, and this is the only way to save her!' Well you know what I say? Darwinism! Cleansing of the gene pool!' The dragon's face turns purple and he takes in a large breath. You eye him nervously, watching tendrils of smoke emerge from his nostrils. He beats the air with his wings in frustration, anger, and general disgruntlement.
'Wait, wait!' cries Rikale. 'Pasolem, stop! This human is not here to hurt you, or steal anything!' You nod in agreement, and state that you are a friend of the pixies and are just here to explore, learn, and meet new creatures. Pasolem eyes you uncertainly.
'Is that really why this... human is here?'
'Yes, Pas. People want to know what dragons are like. We told you when you first came, there will be no hurt towards you or any of the others.'
The great blue creature considers. He tilts his head in an almost feline gesture. 'I don't care!' he shouts. 'Now GET OUT!!' You dodge a jewelled crown and run out of the cave.
This bad-tempered dragon came from the Skyhaven Hunt
