"Dragon Rider"
Chapter 1
Back when I was still a kid, I was all about dragons. It was because of dad. He would tell me fascinating stories about dragons all the time. At times, after telling me a story, he would then let me ride on his back. We would pretend that he was a dragon and that I was a brave warrior. I would cry though whenever I would fall accidentally because of moving too much (some brave warrior). I get to laugh whenever I get to remember those moments. "Let's go dragon! Nothin's gonna stop us from rescuing the princess!" then I'd fall, then would cry. Poor brave warrior. Anyway, sometimes I would play with my friends. They're not that interested in dragons though. They were all about boards, brooms and flying. There was this one girl though, Ruby. Little did I know she loved dragons too. One day, my friends introduced her to me. They told me she was in to dragons too. To cut it short, we became good friends. We became quite close. At times, she'd go to our house and together we would listen to dad as he tells us stories about dragons. Sometimes, we would even pretend that we were characters from one of dad's dragon stories. That I was a prince and she was a princess (because she refuses to be the dragon). That she was being held captive by an evil dragon and I was to save her with a dragon of my own.
I'm not good at being serious. Sorry.
The story might get a bit "cranky" from here on.
But I guess it'll be funny no matter what I do 'coz I'm a crazy b*st*rd. =)
After a lot of years, Ruby and I both became acrobats. I couldn't believe I was holding my very own bow. It felt awesome. It felt so awesome I couldn't stop shooting arrows randomly. Ruby would just laugh at me and would call me "ignorant" whenever I go crazy with my bow. After almost killing Ruby accidentally by shooting an arrow over her head pretending there was an apple, I stopped my bad habit of "shooting arrows like I just don't care." It was a good thing she was busy counting all of her coins and didn't noticed the arrow passed over her head or else she'd get furious andwould really shoot one in between my eyes. She did wonder why I stopped shooting arrows randomly though. I would just say, "I'm afraid I might accidentally kill someone." =)
I was still interested in dragons when I learned how to fly. I kept on telling Ruby how much I wanted to see one. She said I might pee on my pants when one suddenly shows up in front of me (whatever). Back then, the garden of rhisis was a special place for me and Ruby. Whenever I or she would have a problem, we would go to the garden and would talk about it there. We chose the garden because there are no people there most of the time. If one of us goes missing, we knew were to look, the garden of rhisis. Although the garden didn't have much of a view to offer, it didn't matter to us. All we needed was each other. Soon, we became "us". That wouldn't be so surprising anymore. We were always together since we were kids. Falling in love with each other was inevitable.

Anyway, dad brought home what seemed to be an egg one day. It was really big. Dad said it was a dragon's egg. I couldn't believe it was one at first but then reality kicked in and made me believe it really was one. Dad said they found it under a really big dragon that has just been killed in Volcane. Knowing that the egg has been left alone, he brought it along with him. I then showed the egg to Ruby. She kept on laughing at me 'coz I kept on rubbing the egg with the palm of my hands like it was my first time ever touching anything. We all hoped that it would still hatch. We kept it warm by placing it on top of one of our beds and covered it with bedsheets and all sorts of clothes. We all knew that the dragon that may come out of the egg may turn into a monster someday though.
