I finally gained enough altitude, and say in the distance a place that matched the picture she had sent me. Instead of flapping, I held out my wings dstraight in a glide, but angled slightly downward, just enough for the descent to speed us up...
 
Right when we were almost there, I heard a loud roar, as the red dragon that hsd been reported skimmed right above us, and the slimstream nearly knocked me off. Before I could try to get back to my normal spot, the red one had corcled around, and proceeded to knock me off, catching me in his claws, preparing to flame-broil me.
 
I screeched indignantly at the gall of this red dragon. Even as I was turning around to take her back, I whipped my tail upwards, hitting the red in the jaw like a flail as I rushed towards it, ready to do whatever it took to get her back.
 
The red dragon was stunned by the blow, but it sent a burst of flame at him, before diving to the nearby residental zone. i was nearly immobile, but i could move enough to get my automation to send seveal spears through it's wing, causing him to drop me. problem was, I was still too far off the ground to hit it and survive the blow..
 
I dove down, skimming as fast as any green ever born when I saw her drop, not caring about how close the ground was. Soon, I was almost underneath her... Now, I was right underneath her as I began to pull up.
 
I began to get secodn thoughts about following the black after watching it. "Lets go home." I said to Hoshi. She grunted and began flying to the north, towards our home. She flew over various residential buildings until coming to one that was near the outskirts of the city. Hoshi landed in the driveway there, a bit clumsily.
 
I landed on his back pretty hard, but it was better than the ground. After recovering from the initial pain, I managed to get to my feet, and seeing the red about to torch the residental area, took careful aim, and sent a single spear that tore through his underside and hit his heart. Once it finally went down, my nerves were still on the edge, and i had to return to a seated position to keep from falling.
 
I couldn't really say anything, as I was breathing hard... i slid off his back, and moved over to the body of the red, taking a blood sample from it. Scientists were still looking for an explanation why dragons went crazy like this, the only reason to date was internal parasites...
 
A little while later, something caught Dazzle's attention. Gwin patted the yellow dragons neck, hoping he would return focus on what he was supposed to be doing. It was no use.
"Whats wrong, Dazzle?" Gwin asked her dragon, now very curious. It wasnt like Dazzle to disobey Gwin's orders. The young dragon was now looking down, and Gwin obviously did the same thing.
"Hey...isnt that the officer and then dragon we saw at the arena?" she asked herself, ordering Dazzle to go down lower. They were with a red dragon, and they seemed injured. Without any warning, Dazzle flew down closer and closer until he landed. Fear took over Gwin as she tried to get Dazzle to take flight once more. She didnt want to be stuck here...
 
After getting enough blood so that the labs could test it, I turned, and my eyes fell on a young girl with a young yellow dragon. "well hello there. didn't I see you at the arena?" I questioned. I remembered that I had to get back for the feeding schedule of the other dragons, but i had a lot of time...
 
Shyly, Gwin got off her dragon, and nodded. Although she didnt say anything. Dazzle nudged her with his snout, and flapped his wings inpatiently. Gwin rested her hand on his neck, and stared at the officer. She had always wanted to talk to one, but what would she say? She wasn't an expert on dragons, just an ordinary girl.
 
I looked at the yellow dragon for a moment, and started looking through my backpack. after a few seconds i got out a peice of smoked salmon and said "I've never met a dragon that will reject salmon. If you want to, you can feed him some, I've got plenty."
 
Gwin smiled, took Dazzle's reins and walked over to the officer.
"O-okay..." she said, taking the salmon. Gwin then held the salmon under Dazzle's nose. He immediatly slammed his tail on the ground, and carefully took the salmon from Gwin's hand, making sure that he didnt bite her.
"I think he likes it. Thank you!" Gwin said happily.
 
"No problem. officers do more than just break up fights. Speaking of which, what's your opinion on those fights. you already know mine." I said, remembering the state the black one had been in when I had gotten there. Every time, it just broke my heart, and it made me work harder and harder at my job..
 
Gwin looked down at the ground, and shrugged.
"I live with my 4 brothers and my father, and they all love fights..." she began, stroking Dazzle's yellow scales as she spoke. "I hate them. It's not just because they scare me, its because I love all types of dragons as well. My brothers pick on me for trying not to watch, and I can't stand it..."
Gwin then focused on the necklace around her neck. The dragon tooth dangled around her neck as the wind blew it.
"My father gave me this when I was just little. He had gotten into a fight once, and found it on the ground. I always wonder if the dragon in which this tooth belonged to is still alive, or...is dead..."
 
"I'm willing to bet i could find out givin the time, but sometimes things are better off staying unknown. so you like dragons, but hate the fights huh? just from first glance I can tell you'd be a great officer." I said with a smile. I loved hanging around kids, especially kids like her...
 
"Oh, really!? Thank you...I've always wanted to be an officer!" Gwin said. "My name is Gwin, and this is my dragon Dazzle!"
At that moment, Dazzle took a step forward and nuzzled the officer with his snout.
"I think he likes you..." Gwin whispered, hugging her dragon tightly.
 
"a pleasure to meet you. there are fewer and fewer people that respect dragons these days. How about you come visit my medical facilities and see how well you get along with other dragons?" I said, mentally summoning the black one over. He obeyed, and I hoped onto his back. I then sent a mental image to him of possibly the girl riding as well, and I got an uneasy affirmitive. "if you want to give Dazzle a break, hop on. This guy could probably haul around an elephant without much trouble." I said to her.

ooc: yes, yes, I know, I stole shiney's charecter.. what are you going to do about it?
 
I heard talking. Faintly anyway. I didn't hop off Hoshi. "Hoshi, its unusual for others to be out. Lets check things out." I said to Hoshi. Hoshi grunted playfully and began to bound down our driveway like a dog. She turned left to see the red dragon I had noticed the black one confronting. I almost gasped. There was the black dragon I had seen earlier. I had heard of black dragosn but never seen one until today. I excited. So was Hoshi. She lolled her tongue out as she came to a stop a few meters away from the others.
