~Ray
Looking up at the sun I plopped down and thought about Rain, who was locked up in my room. For once, I was glad that no one was ever home, otherwise they would hear the pitiful crying of the baby dragon as I had to stay within my room all day.
“I’ll take him to the lake today.” I promised to myself as I started to head back to my house. It was almost time for my break anyway. I hollered my father that I was going to be at the lake for awhile and he made a motion that he had heard me before returning back to work.
Once I got to my house I realized that there was something attached to our door. I looked at it and my eyes went huge. It was something from Lady Vanessa! Wh-what could she want with simple farmers like us?
I felt my face go pale. Could she know about Rain already? I quickly ran inside and threw my door open to find my room a mess.
“Rain? RAIN!” I shouted and then there was an explosion of feathers as he poked his head up from the pillow he had ripped apart.
He let out a loud happy chime sound and ran over to me, slipping on the mess that he had made. Looking up at me he sniffed my hands and I saw his scales on his back fall.
“You’re hungry aren’t you?” I asked and he perked up. Smiling I went over to the corner of my room and grabbing a basket and I let Rain crawl in. This time though, I had trouble carrying it and Rain didn’t seem to fit too well in it.
“You’re getting bigger!” I grunted as I made my out the door and grabbed the letter from our leader and made my way to the lake. Once there I let Rain out of the basket as I sat on the beach and watched as he plunged into the water and dived down deep.
Lowing my eyes to the paper I slowly opened it.
“You, Ray of Varden, have been summoned by Lady Vanessa herself. You will report to the palace tomorrow at noon.” I skimmed over the rest of it and at the end it was signed by her so I knew this wasn’t a joke.
Clutching the piece of paper I looked back out at the lake to see the scales of Rain sticking out of the water.
