Part V
The land he saw seemed to be a dry land, he could already feel heat radiating from it. He flew higher and over the land. He flew high enough to be mistaken for a large bird. He found a remote region close to a large city behind giant sand dunes. Noone was fool enough to venture this far into the desert without proper supplies, so he was not bothered by humans. The heat made him feel alive and happier than he had felt in weeks. He lived like this for several days. He hunted further off in the desert, the hunting was splendid in this remote region. He caught snakes, antelope, and the occasional vulture or jackal. The dragon could fast for hours without water so he waited until after dark to venture to the waterfront. On these trips to the water, he discovered giant stone icons. Great obelisks towered before him engraved with symbols. His favorite feature of the ancient pieces were the great pyramids that loomed over the city like a guardian. After drinking from the river, he rested in the shadows of the pyramids. He wondered what it would be like to have built them. Suddenly, he heard a soft scream from somewhere nearby. He turned his great head, looking for the source of the sound. He got up and cautiously snaked his head around the side of the pyramid. A woman was on the ground sobbing while a man stood over her. He had his hand in a fistand his trousers hung around his knees. The dragon walked silently around. Once he reached the other side he roared furiously. The man nearly jumped out of his skin and the woman screamed. The dragon snapped its jaws and grabbed the man's jacket in his teeth. The man screamed and cursed as the dragon lifted him in to the air. He then threw the man to the ground and placed one giant foot on him, pinning him. The dragon placed his head close to the man and growled. The man looked at him with a look of terror. Once the dragon decided that the man had learned his lesson, he let him up. The man yelled and tore off for the city. The dragon smirked and turned his head toward the woman. She rose to her feet cautiously. The dragon sniffed her and decided that she was no threat. The woman edged forward and gently patted him on the nose. The dragon made a noise that was almost like purring to show his affection. The woman started to jabber away in a language he could not understand. The woman then turned and beckoned for him to follow. He followed her but kept up his guard just in case this was a trick. He followed her into the city until they stopped at the entrance to a rundown hotel. The woman put out her hand for the dragon to stop and raced inside. She returned several minutes later with a boy. This boy was definitely one of the most interesting he had seen. He was shorter than the dragon's front leg, but his hair added a small amount of height. His hair was the most interesting feature. It was long, spiky, and three different colors. The boy wore a necklace that seemed so familiar to the dragon. He lowered his head to get a closer look at it. He nudged it with his nose and the boy cried out, "Joey!" After that the dragon pulled his head back, so he wouldn't scare the boy off. Another boy came outside and started muttering. "What is it Yug?" He then looked up and saw the dragon. He then yelled in surprise. "Whoa Yug, That's red eyes black dragon!" he exclaimed. "Yeah I know, why do you think I called you out here? And the scariest part is, he's real." Joey stared at the other boy and then at the dragon.

Ha ha I added a major twist in the plot. I hope you like it so far. And thanx to Elske for reading all of it so far.
