those who do, they just disappear, never to be seen again.” Dragon Pink gave a massive yawn, placed her head upon the floor, closed her eyes and just before falling asleep whispered “I only wish he could be replaced with someone kinder.”
“Come on you two” George moved alongside Dragon Pink where his blanket lay and settled down for what was left of the night. “We have a big day tomorrow, it is very late, let’s all get some sleep.” Joel and Grace responded by cuddling up together, whilst Zach moved closer to his super pal, George. By the warmth of the dragon heated rocks they all fell into a deep sleep.

Lies and more lies
Dragon Brown had adjourned to a side chamber of the Main Hall with a number of dragons following at his heels. Although suspicious of Green’s interpretation of events and what appeared to be such a gigantic injury that would have laid any other dragon out for weeks, Brown decided to give him the benefit of doubt. “Green, I need you to monitor the invading army and its progress so that we can ensure our defences are in place. I recommend that you take Dragon Yellow and you both get as close to their camp and report back to me their every movements.” Dragon Yellow had tried to remain inconspicuous as he was a real coward and was surprised at being conscripted into Brown’s newly formed army.
Yellow’s body shivered in fear, “I’m afraid I can’t assist” Yellow snorted, “I have a bad cold, my flame is very, very weak and almost nonexistent, got spots developing all over me and I have a bad back.” Dragon Brown ignored Yellow’s excuses. “You always have a bad back and a cold so what’s new, and we all have problems with our flames, that’s why every dragon has to do their duty, and there will be no exceptions.” Yellow’s jaw dropped open in dismay, he usually got out of anything that was dangerous or even mildly challenging, but here was Dragon Brown, who seemed to be in total command, ordering him into what he thought to be imminent death.
Dragon Green was studying the unfolding events intently. What was he to do? He surely could not have any dragon too close to him, especially now when things were going so well and definitely not anywhere near him while he was conjuring up more imaginative stories. But then he had a ‘Dragon Brainwave’.
Yellow was really a big coward, he would not want to go anywhere near any enemy or any dangerous situation and if given the opportunity would hide or take the easy way out.
Green decided to take charge of the situation. “Come on Dragon Yellow, we’ll keep out of sight and at a safe distance and just observe and study the invaders.” Green’s little brain was working overtime. “I’ll get the closest to the enemy’s camp and report things back to you so that you in turn can take the information back to Dragon Brown. You’ll be a sort of special messenger.”
Green had made his mind up that Yellow would be no threat to his aim of being the only hero of the day. And Dragon Yellow, he was relieved to know he would be at a safe distance from any danger. Brown, with another deep frown appearing across the top of his forehead, scrutinised both dragons and in a commanding voice barked. “So what are you waiting for? GO!” And with the command resonating in both dragons’ ears, they were just about to scurry away when they both spied Dragon Gold in the distance.
Brown, for a brief moment thought as to how and why Dragon Green had changed, why was he being so helpful and agreeable? But Brown’s thoughts were immediately interrupted by Dragon Gold’s noisy clanging chain of office bouncing from side to side as he ran into the chamber with great urgency. “We have a horrendous problem now” he gasped. “The hospital has reported that all dragons carrying the black spot plague have lost their ability to shoot flames and that every dragon on Draegonia has now become infected.”
