Chapter 5

After a heated debate on whether the Scorching actually happened or not, Komodo and Tropic were left alone in the classroom as the other dragons had quickly left. "We have a free period now," Tropic explained,"so we can do what we want." Komodo looked at her feet.

"Where are you going?" Tropic turned back to her, as he had started walking in the opposite direction. "Going to the library," he replied simply,"wanna come?" The question surprised her. "H-how come?" Tropic sighed. "You don't trust me? Do you?" Komodo was taken back. "O-of course I trust you." Tropic smiled. "Okay then. Follow me"

The Library was large in stature and filled to the brim with scrolls, from ones that were so old they looked as if they were about to fall apart to ones so new they looked as if they had just been delivered this morning. Komodo was not surprised by the fact that it looked ancient.

She was snapped back into reality by the sound of talons clicking on the stone floor. "Careful," Tropic whispered as a orange RainWing swept past,"do not get on her bad side, it won't be pretty." Tropic walked over to a shelf of scrolls as Komodo followed him, she noticed a scroll on the floor that read, "How to Impress Dragonesses" Tropic saw her looking at the unusual scroll and quickly blocked her vision of the tool of parchment. "I w-wasn't reading that," he stammered, an awkward smile on his face as he kicked the scroll away from the two friends.

Komodo didn't recognize his behaviour. Tropic looked at her. "I don't read," he lied,"I just like coming here because its calming." Komodo was confused. "Okay...." The orange RainWing swept past them again. "We should probably leave." Tropic nodded. "We should."

As soon as they walked out of the door, it slammed behind them and they heard loud curses from the other side. Only then did Komodo realize how hungry she was. Tropic looked at her. "What's wrong?" Tropic's answer was a low growl from Komodo's stomach. "Three moons, you didn't have breakfast, did you?" he cursed. Komodo groaned. Tropic looked suddenly worried. "F-follow me! I-I think I know where the preycenter is." Komodo got to her feet and began to follow Tropic

After a long time of wandering they became lost. Komodo sat back, unhappy with the food less situation. "Three moons!" Tropic cursed. "The one time I get lost!"
