Dracona: A Young Girl

You hurry to the cave that you call home, wishing you had been quicker. It was nearly completely dark now, and you knew it wasn't wise to be out at night, especially alone. You had been alone for three years now, since your only friend had left for the city. You had no idea if the promise to return would ever be fulfilled. As you raced along the path, you heard wingbeats. Not the small, quick ones of bats, but huge, loud, slow ones. You looked up just in time to see a dragon pass overhead, very close to the ground. You heard, and felt, a rush of air behind you, and turned to see the dragon behind you.

It was large, bigger than a two-story house, and seemed to be a dark purple. You realized it was female as it said, "You... you have a pure heart. You shall take care of my child." She set down an egg, which if it had been standing up would have gone well past your knee, and pushed it toward you. "I will return. Care for my child well, and name it. It is your child as well now. Good bye, little one." She leaned down and licked her egg, then licked you.

You were still frozen in place when she took off, shocked and confused. A distant howl reminded you of the dangers, and you picked up the egg and went as quickly as you could to your home.

...

The next day, you woke up and wondered for a moment if it had really happened. Sitting up, could see the dappled light streaming into your home shining on the shell of the egg.
