Today's #flashfiction #DragonsAndHumans

“It's all about the bling.”
Sauron* #quote


       Today I time traveled to the era of disco. I didn't actually do any disco, I went out to eat. But that's where(well when) I went. Anyway onto the flash fiction!



Dragons And Humans

       “Got attacked by a few knights, but I got myself some loot and a beautiful war trophy, isn't that right princess?” The dragon laughed and looked at woman. “You know why we dragons kidnap you? You make wonderful pets! Oh, once trained you humans make the most wonderful songs...and often royalty already knows how to play instruments and sing. That's why I took some instruments from your castle.” She shrieked as the red scaled monster puffed some smoked over her and whipped its thorny tail.
        She nearly fainted when another dragon twice its size entered the lair. White scales covered this once, white as tundra ice, and its dark black eyes resembled ash. The thorns on its tail were as sharp as swords along with its claws and teeth, the first dragon's looking blunt compared to it.
        “Kindling, I see you've kidnapped a princess and stole some items from the human kingdom nearby,” The white dragon walked closer.
         “Yeah, neat huh? Gonna have the princess singing in a week I swear! It's going to be awesome Whitewing.”
          After his name was spoken the dragon did spread out his namesake. His wings, like his scales, were white, and they were also massive. They cast a huge shadow over Kindling. Whitewing then grabbed him by the neck.
         “Actually runt, you won't be doing that. I will be taking back this princess and all your plunder and if you ever attack that kingdom again or any humans, I will rip your head from your body.” Whitewing let go of him.
          “Why are you siding with the humans your highness?” Kindling dropped the casual tone dragons usually carried with each other, even the lower class talking to the upper.
          “I made a smart decision.”
           Hours later Whitewing met with the human king with the princess and plunder all in the cart that Kindle stole to carry it.
          “Everything returned to you as promised,” he said. “And I will execute the dragon if he attempts to attack your people again.”
           The king was surprised that the dragon kept his word after all the conflict over the years with dragons. “Then it is agreed. Safe passage for your people during all migratory seasons, and they may live in the mountains. In exchange for tilling our fields we will allow hunting in our woods and we will use magic to heal your ill.”
          “Let our treaty last and our people's unity be a long and prosperous one.”
          This was not the only kingdom Whitewing planned to unite with the dragons.
