CHAPTER #3 the hut
After noticing he had Dragonfly, we had no choice but to follow the dragon to moons nows where....
We had been walking around in the fog and rain for what seemed like hours (3 minutes)he stopped suddenly and motioned for us to come stand at attention in front of him. He still was holding Dragonfly captive in his talons, so we had no choice but to do what he said.
He stared at us with a scowl for a moment, and then he pushed us with his tail into a large brown hut made of hardened clay. Inside where a few clay ledges for sleeping on and a box in the back of the room filled with blankets for the winter. High up on the wall their was a torch in every corner of the room illuminating every thing in a ghostly orange light. Their was also a large wooden door in the back of the room that led to the back yard which had a mud puddle for relaxing in. We would have been healing in the mud if it wasn't raining or if the mudwing wasn't speaking to us.
"Now listen up you dragonets,"the mudwing said "in a few days you will be taught how to speak and fight, so be prepared." And with that he-"at least I think it's a he. His voice is so deep in must be a guy" I thought-Turned around and slammed the door shut behind him.
I then realize that he threw Dragonfly into the hut with us. I swiftly spotted her crumpled shape laying on the cold clay floor. I quickly ran to her side to see if she was hurt ....or worse my mind finished for me. The moment I arrived at her side I realized she was breathing ok. She had some bruises and scratches but nothing a good mud bath can't fix good. Then why isn't she--- then I saw it, her foot was badly injured and would have to be soaked in mud on and off for few days. It must have hurt so much she passed out. I released. I called for my sibs to come and help me carry her out side to the mud.
Bolder linked his wing up with mine wile Swamp and Egret carefully maneuvered Dragonfly onto our outstretched wings. Bog was curled up in a corner and shaking violently of fear he must be traumatized I realized that he needed someone to help him calm down so that he wouldn't freak out. So after Dragonfly was on mine and Bolder's wings I motioned for Egret to check on Bog and for Swamp to get the door for us.
After Swamp managed to get the door open Bog and I placed dragonfly in the mud to heal her injured foot. Then we all put mud on our bruises and scratches from catching each other, wile Dragonfly remained in the mud to heal her foot.
After about 30 minutes we were shaking as bad as Bog, but not from fear but from cold. It wasn't raining hard, in fact it was barely drizzling but it was really cold. Bolder and I carried Dragonfly as fast as we could, despite us shivering violently. We better hurry or else our we might freeze! I thought as we rapidly galloped towards the door that Swamp was holding open for us.
After we made it inside of the hut we shook of the water from our scales and dog piled on the floor. As I drifted to sleep I thought I wonder what will happen tomorrow......
