UNIQUELY YOU A DRAGON’S QUEST

e known what she was thinking because he spread his wing and lay it on the ground for her to climb. She did so and settled herself on his back. She was still feeling scared of falling and now an added fear of pulling out another scale. She lay in her stomach and clutched a scale on each side. She felt the scales press closer to his body to give her better grip on him. She smiled at the thoughtfulness and was about to thank him when a flaming spear came rushing towards her.

Bartimus shielded her with his wing which she noticed had become thicker. His gullet area started glowing blue and when he opened his mouth, sharp blades of ice shot out in the direction the Spear had come from. There was no sound from that place so Bartimus and Selene stayed alert. Five more Spears came forth and this time Bartimus just hit them with his wing and they went back and set the bushes there on fire. This time some cries were heard and an old man came running out while he was on fire.

Bartimus took of into the sky and Selene shut her eyes from the rash if wind. Bartimus stopped and hovered above the ground and to Selene it looked like he wasn using his full strength. If he did use his full strength, she was certain she would be overwhelmed by his strength like before. She looked down at the burning bush and just as she started to say a prayer for the man to go to heaven, Bartimus let out fire down at the forest. He even moved to cover a larger area. When he stopped, Selene noticed that he had drawn a circle and soon the fire covered the little circle. Screams of multiple men and a woman could be heard.

Bartimus flew away from that place and whilst Serene kept looking back at the scene she had beheld. She felt sad for not taking some soil with her. She wanted to feel like her parents were with her; for the rest of her life.

”I forgot something! ” she screamed to Bartimus.

He didn even stop for a moment and Selene kept in repeating herself. She gave up when she felt the scales press tighter on her hands. She looked down and could see their palace. She felt hopeful that he was going to let her go but he flew right passed. She felt foolish for thinking Bartimus was her saviour.

Selene soon dozed of and her cloak moved on its own to cover her tightly. The wind didn move it from place as Bartimus kept flying. He soon landed in another forest but this one was more beautiful and serene. His scales loosened and Selene slowly slide down his side. When she was about to reach the ground, the grass grew toward her and caught her. She was moved gently and was laid down. Bartimus lay himself next to her and watched her rest.
