Weekly Fantasy: Book Of Dragons

By: Sophia Los


(Please note I make all these stories up)


"There once was a book, the stuff of legends, it was guarded by a thousand locks, protected by the strongest of dragons, and kept deep underground. At least that was what the dragons told people, the truth was that the book was stolen. They were in panic if someone destroyed that book then all the dragons would die on the spot, and because that book held their true names then if someone said their names the they could make them obey them unconditionally. All they could hope for was that it was in good hands, or the person who had it didn't know how to use it. But that is just a hope, and the truth was very different, the person who had it knew how to use it and at midnight was planing to destroy the book, and with the book all the dragons would die. Lucky for the dragons someone knew what was happening and planned to stop it, on a cold night one hour before midnight a hooded young man stood outside the door to a abandoned cottage. He pulls down his hood and to our surprise he isn't a man but a woman! she walks up to the cottage and knocks on the door, always good to have nice manners! Just kidding she kicks the door open and dashes in, she interrupted just at the right time, the book went flying out of a mans hands and slams into the wall next to her. She bends down and picks up the book turns around and looks back saying something lost to the wind, and then she is gone and his plans are foiled. "Dammit!" He shouts out along with other unfriendly words cursing at the young woman. Then back at the dragons the book reappears just where the thief took it from and when the dragons find out they celebrate, and to make sure it never happens again they decide to destroy the book on their own and they live happily ever after." A curled up dragon says, although he looks funny with a tiny book in his claws and over sized glasses on his face. He grins at the pile of knocked out dragons to his side and puts the book down along with his glasses, then goes to sleep.
