Sothe made it to the top, hiding behing a few trees. Musket and sword ready, he made a mad dash for a silver egg. Grabbing it, he put his gun up. He then looked around for any adults, "Hm..." Suddenly the ground shook, he waited no longer and ran for the hill. Before he could get close enough to desend, he was eye to eye with a silver male dragon. He held no fear and waited for the dragon to strike. The dragon slashed a mad claw at Sothe, who narrowly slid underneath it. He ran down the mountain. When he got to the bottom the dragon was waiting for him there. Sothe sheathed his sword and pulled out his musket. Before he aimed, though, the dragon growled and spoke. "Why do you inferier human invade my territory?" Sothe was astonished, "You talked..." The dragon nodded, "I am not a dumb animal. Now answer my question!" Sothe gulped, "Sorry, my king needs extra protection..." The dragon cut him off, "I am the king! King Daimonaire! Now what are you doing with my egg!?" Sothe looked up, "There is a war to be faught. Bandits-" Daimonaire growled, "The bandits! Take him. And raise him well! He will be at your aid, and so will we. The bandits stole and slaughter most of our kind. So we will help you with this war..." Sothe bowed with gratitude and mounted his horse. "Thank you." He said riding off.
