| Jen stood in the Clearing, the very heart of the Forest. From all around her trails ran in all directions, leading travellers to the dragons that lived happily in the place created and led by Desiree. Jen was the newest recruit at the Forest, and she now had a chance to adopt her very own dragon. But first she would need to create a home, and before she could make a home, she needed to find a place where she could make one... She shifted the straps that were beginning to cut into her shoulder. She smiled as she thought about what was inside. Nobara, her little egg, lay nestled inside. She felt that the egg would have a better life in a different home, and was now moving her to a new place. But where to go? All she could see were trails with signs already standing proudly next to them. Where was she to go? Maybe she should just head blindly in one direction, skip the trail. She could always make her own trail... "Hey, Yama, where do you think I should make my dragon home," she asked as she turned to face Yama. Yama, who rested on the ground, stood to face Jen. Yama, the unicorn, was the one left to deal with visitors and the new gaurdians when Desiree was not around. "Well, there is one place you can try," he said as he walked to the far side of the wide clearing. "And what is that?" "You know Desiree, she starts one thing and and then her mind wanders to something else," Yama said with laughter in his voice. They reach the end of the clearing, but Jen sees nothing that could be what Yama was talking about. "Well," Yama continues as he begins pulling on a bush with his teeth, "Desiree picked out a place to make a dragon home. The place is very strange, and Desiree was unsure of what to make out of it. So, it was left, and has been untouched since. Maybe you can finish what she started." By now Yama was done pulling back the bush. Before Jen now lay a path, grass and weeds covering it up. "How long as this path been here?" "I don't know. It was here and starting to dissappear from disuse even when I came here." "At least this makes my job of making the dragon home a bit easier. Thanks Yama," Jen said as she moved closer to investigate the path further. "No problem," and with that Yama went back to the center of the clearing where he resumed his nap. Jen couldn't help but smile. Part one of her job was done, thanks to Yama. Making the dragon home should not be as hard as fretting over where to build it...she hoped... She stepped onto the trail and began to walk down it. Only patches of the trail were of dirt, the rest was composed of green and brown plants. The path winded around trees, each bend of the trail as unknown as the one before and after it. The trees began to thin out, the forest becoming sparser and thinner. Soon even the growth covering most of the path thinned out, giving an almost ghostlike qaulity of the old path. With the sunlight came a silver cast to the hair about her, giving a sparkle to the forest about her. Soon Jen realized what made this place so special. All around ivy grew everywhere, across the ground, up the trees, and into the sky. All except for the very center, where a rosebush serenly grew. *** Jen woke one morning in her ivy clearing to a loud cracking sound. She pulled her blanket back and went to investigate the noise. Beneath the rose bush, where the roses had bloomed into various colors, the brown egg was rocking violently back and forth. Jen kneeled in front of the egg, watching as something from within began to break through the hardened shell. Jen pulled peices of the shell away, helping the dragon crawl out of the ruined mess. But the small dragon did not stop there. It began to grow in size, finally stopping until it was a full grown adult. Jen stared in awe at her brown earth dragon, her smile lighting up her face. |
