"And... Gotcha!" I closed my claws around a rabbit, until I see the same rabbit bounding off near the trees in front of me. I carefully open my claws to find it wasn't there. I had woken up early to catch this rabbit, and I'm not going to stop now! I chased it again, Blending into the background to sneak up on it.

I sneak up behind it... And lunge!... Only to fall flat on my snout as it bounds away, taunting me. "I should just stick to fish," I say to myself, before chasing it again. I suddenly hear a sound I have heard before, A kind of screech. I stop chasing the rabbit and freeze. I could see red eyes, glinting in the darkness. They were filled with hate, and were focusing that on me. I sighed. Those wolves never learn, do they?

I set fire to a stick near them. They hated fire, and it scared them off. They ran as I chased them with it, before putting it out. No need for a forest fire.

I started heading home... Or, at least, where I was sure home was. Suddenly, I realised I was lost. I couldn't even see the smoke from the village as Dusk turned to night. The moonlight was dimmed, and I thought about the fact that a human would have a problem at this time, and I was thankful for my nocturnal eyes.

I started wondering around, hoping to find a landmark, but failing. Eventually, I climbed a tree. I could see lights, and I assumed it was the village. I started heading towards it, only to find out it was a hole with torchlight coming from the bottom of it. I looked down, to see a monster. I heard about them from the villagers, after I became friends with them. I was curious, and watched as they tended to some flowers. They were fluffy, with large ears. They were large, about my size by the looks of it.

I leaned in closer. Suddenly, a rock dislodged from the side of where I was. The rock fell, and clattered next to the monster. I ducked down, and waited. After a couple of seconds, they said, "Hello. Who are you?"

I leaned back over, and calling out the name the villagers gave me. "Emily." I said. "What's yours?"

"Toriel."

"Toriel, huh?" I had to keep it down, in case villagers were nearby. If they saw me conversing with a monster, they would come after me, and that was NOT fun. "So, you're a monster, right?" Might as well make sure.

"Yes." She replied. "What are you?"

I pondered this. I knew I was what the humans call a dragon, but I was the only one in who knows how far. The monster wouldn't believe me.

I decided, "I'm a dragon." I said. " The monsters eyes lit up. "A dragon, you say? I heard about one living in the mountains from one of the villagers-" Wait, another villager had come her to talk with her?- "But I never thought I would see, let alone meet one."

"I guess today's your lucky day."

"I guess it is." She says, before starting to head deeper into the caves. "I need to go now, it's getting late. Shouldn't you go to bed now as well?"

"Not really, Dragons are nocturnal." I say, before she nodded and headed deeper into the caves.

I wondered around a bit, before seeing a lightning struck tree, which i recognised.

I started to head to this hole, hoping to see her. I never saw her, until something unlucky happened.
