Cahppter 2 - Boxing Day
I ran into my cave and pulled out my quill and a blank scroll. As I was looking for Shady and the others I sketched out an example of my plan. In my opinion it looked very clear and obvious. It clearly showed the goal was to get my diary back, with a bonus of being free. I wasn't sure why we were stuck here anyway. Finally I found the others, they were gathered in our hang out room. Hoax was writing, Enigma was angrily pacing, Shifty was tearing apart one of the really creepy looking chickens, Shady was making small talk with Sham and Fraud was hiding in a corner, Fraud's the shy one. I ran towards them when suddenly a claw grabbed my tail.
"Owwww!" I screamed as I was lifted up by my tail.
"I see you have an escape plan here," said Con, our Spike Dragon guardian. He grabbed my beautiful plan out of my talons and burnt it with his flaming sugar breath. I saw red. How dare he burn my gorgeous and perfect plan!?
"Boxing Day!" I screamed! Boxing Day is the dragonet secret code to, well, beat up the guardians. The dragonets lept into action. Enigma jumped onto Con's head and started turning it into an icicle, and Fraud started punching Con's legs. Hoax and Sham started attacking Scam. Shifty and I jumped on our final guardian Trickster the Saturn Dragon, who had come because of all the ruckus. Shifty bit into Trickster's neck, while I got busy drowning him in space dust. I could see Shady slowly sanitizing the room with his sanitizing breath in the background as we all fought.
"Oi! You know that it's rude to beat up your elders right?" asked Scam as she attempted to shake off Hoax and Sham. They were holding on for dear life but it looked like they were going to fall off. We can't fail, I thought. Just then Enigma ran over to Scam and waved a claw right next to her eyes. Scam fainted, earth dragons tend to have a problem with things getting really close to their face. I'm not quite sure why. I looked back over at Con, who now looked exactly like a popsicle. The only one left was Trickster. Luckily, he held up his claws in surrender when we all looked at him.
"Look, guys I'm sorry, please don't kill me, I was just doing my job," he said. I'm not exactly sure what his job is but I'm fairly sure it's to not let us escape.
"Give us the keys, and we'll let you live," said Shifty. What? I didn't know we were killing people now. That seemed a little extreme.
"Ok," said Trickster, sighing. "This is what I was told to not let happen," he muttered to himself, tossing us the keys. What did that mean, I wondered. Shifty snatched up the keys to the door.
"Let's go!" I yelled. We opened the door and stepped outside for the first time in our lives. I looked upward expecting to see one of the 300 suns only to stare right into the eyes of an Earth Dragon.
