Chapter 8: The Green Element

Sapling blinked it's eyes slowly as they began to stretch their wings. They hopped from their nest and walked on the nearly cleared path that led outside. They flew towards the top of the tree and felt the warm, bright sunshine welcoming them to the day. Sapling heard a shuffle coming from it's neighboring "friend". Sapling just stared as the red, fiery dragon yawned and started playing in the narrow creaks of lava that spread across the surface of the habitat. Sapling then felt as a cool breeze brush by it's face when it turns to the treat farm. Sapling flutters to the ground of it's habitat and waited at the closest point of the place. As the wooden door opens, Sapling notices Isabella walking to check on the soil of the farm.
*small dragon noises*
"Morning to ya Sapling! Were you nice and cozy in your habitat?" Isabella asked with a smile as she crouched down to the dragon.
Sapling happily nodded and shook their wings. Isabella walks into the habitat and Sapling flutters onto her arm.
"I got some "chores" to do. Wanna tag along?" Isabella asks the dragon. Sapling agrees joyfully and flies towards the structure Isabella put up a while ago.
"According to these papers, this is suppose to hold dragon eggs once they are removed from the breeding cave." Isabella summarizes while rolling up the papers to put away.
Sapling cocks their head to the side in confusion.
"Yeah I know. What's a breeding cave?" Isabella says out loud.

'I think we learned about this during school. Eh... too bad I only paid attention to growing crops.'

"Sapling! Grab handfu- uh... clawfuls of hay and bring them here!" Isabella calls out.
*Dragon noises that reply back casually*
"Thank you very much. And.... DONE! I'm not sure how long this is going to stand but it looks just about right." Isabella looks at the nursery tower with her hands on her hips. Sapling just sits on her shoulder.
"Hm? The treasure chest light icon above the fire habitat is full!"Isabella exclaimed while running to the habitat. Sapling flies steadily towards the habitat and sits in front of it. Isabella taps on the icon but the hand just passes through the light. Once again, Isabella looked back at the other wizards through her memory.
"They all wore nice robes, they all have dragon knowledge, they all hold a staff, they have their types of dragons with them..." Isabella mutters to herself.
Sapling looks at the fire habitat seeing the fire dragon walk around and sending embers into the air. Sapling walked close to the habitat, but not to close to set itself aflame.

"Hiya!"

"What do you want?"

"Sheesh already given the cold wing."

"I don't give cold wings. I burn them."

"Not unless it's a cold or earth dragon."

"Psh. The earth dragon doesn't have wings-"

"Exactly."

"......"

"What?"

"How are you out?"

"Hm? Oh out of my habitat?"

"Uh, duh dummy."

"My sister helped me out!"

"Sister?"

"Yeah! That human right ove-"

"Hold it. What do you mean by sister?"

"Well, we started hanging out before you flew to this island. That was when-"

"I don't wanna hear the story on how you met me. Just tell me how are you a sister to a human."

"We're family."

"That doesn't make any sense!"

"Well, neither do you!"

"What?!"

"Oh well excuse me! We all could've been alone here...just the two... of us."

"Huh? Are you gonna cry?"

"Wha-NO!"

"You are, aren't cha?"

"Shut up! I just don't want be alone.."

"So you hate her?"

"What? When did I ever say that?!"

"But right now you just said-"

"I mean I don't wanna be the only dragon here!"

"Pfft. You can't stand to be alone."

"Hmph! Some ought to teach you some manners."
*Sapling turns away*

"Like you have any."
*The fire dragon rolls it's eyes*

"*dragon growl*"
*Sapling flies over to Isabella who collected the Dragoncash*

*Translator off*

"Hey Sapling! It turns out you have to use your staff to collect it! And when you do collect it, it all falls out!" Isabella explained. Sapling nods it's head and grabs a coin by it's mouth and hands it over to Isabella.

"Thanks! Hey Sapling, can you bring a bean bag over? We need something to put this in." Isabella said. Sapling nods and flies off to grab the bag.

'What a couple of weirdos.'

Sapling grabs the bag by it's feet and drags it over to Isabella.

"56....58...60...62....64....65....wait no.. 68!" Isabella counted as she stacked 5 stacks of 10 dragoncash. "That there is fifty and this might be a hundred," Isabella pointed out. Sapling nodded and placed the coins into the bag. "100!" Isabella shouted in happiness,"I never had this much money in my allowance!" Sapling tilts their head to the side.
"Never mind. Anyways I think we can make find some island takeout like a restraunt or something." Isabella explained. Sapling shook it's head.
"Huh? You're saying I should save it to pay off my debt?" Isabella questioned. Sapling nodded it's head.
"But you know, we son't need to worry about that anymore. They can't find us." Isabella said. Sapling flew up to Isabella's face and started to "lecture" her.
"Fine fine... they did let me keep my house for awhile." Isabella said as she turned to her side and pushed Sapling down softly. Sapling perched itself on Isabella's shoulder, happy it won it's arguement. Isabella was a bit upset but grinned as she watched Sapling standing proudly.

'What the heck is wrong with them?'

"Oh right! I gotta get the money out of the fire habitat!" Isabella quickly turned the other way, making Sapling lose balance and fall.
"Sorry Sapling!"Isabella cried as she went to pick up Sapling. The dragon rolled it's eyes and flew towards the fire habitat.
"Hey wait up!" Isabella shouted as she ran after Sapling.
"Heya little fella. Are you ready to apologize and leave?" Isabella asked. The fire dragon rolled it's eyes and yawned.
"Rude." Isabella comment.

'You're the one to talk'

"Anyways, don't burn me. Your sentence of staying here are over."
Isabella said as she stepped into the fire habitat. Sapling yawned in boredom.
'back to the being the only dragon here'
The fire dragon didn't even give in so easily. It flew out of Isabella's reach for a while. Fortunately for Isabella, the fire dragon gave in to exhaustion. Isabella caught it in her arms as it fell from flying. Isabella walked over to the farmland and picked five small Dragonsnaps. The fire dragon was awoken to Isabella holding the food in front of him.
"There you go. They aren't much but it's still ripe. Sorry for sticking you in that habitat..."Isabella stated. The fire dragon looked at Isabella then ate the Dragonsnaps.
*happy dragon sound*
"Glad you like them!" Isabella smiled.
The fire dragon took a glance at Isabella but flew out the building once it ate. Sapling flew by with the bag in it's feet.

"See you two weirdos later."

"At least we've shown some mercy!"

"You threw me in a habitat."

"You went into our territory!"

"It's not yours though. Not fully."

"What?!"

"Nothing."
