I was staring at the interesting rock I had found in that old cave. It was beautiful! It was silver with black veins. I hadn't put this in the shop, I was keeping it. It seemed to amaze me. Sometimes I would just sit here and talk to it. I had even named it! It's name was Reath. I was startled when I heard cracking sounds. I looked around, then finally realized it was the rock. I saw a thin crack in its surface,wait, it wasn't a rock at all! It was an egg, but what would lay this kind of egg..... Something started breaking the egg. Before I knew there was a baby dragon sitting in front of me. It was a shining black color with an almost glowing silver belly. It was amazing! I reached my hand out to touch it. I quickly retracted my hand because as soon as I touched it, my hand burned. I looked at my hand. There was a silver-ish mark left on it. I sighed. Somehow I was very tempted to touch it again, like a little kid tempted to touch the stove after their mom warns them its hot. I slowly went to pet its head. This time it didn't burn but it felt warm. I smiled lightly. I pet its head. Suddenly an image flashed through my head. It was an old tree with a hollow base. I'd seen this tree before on my trips to look for things. I smiled. It would be a perfect place to take Reath. It was in an area close to the forest so not many people go there. I picked Reath up and headed there. The dragon was so amazing! As I arrived at the tree there was someone there, looking straight at me. I clutched Reath close to my chest. Then I noticed she had a dragon too.

"Hello, I'm Faye" I smiled at her, still clutching Reath.
