Snippet #2443666

As Destany awoke the first thing she noticed was Ivan. He was sitting in the blanket she had set near her bed. He had not wanted to be near her when he first hatched, but she laid out some meat for him to eat before going to bed. She had laid and watched him gobble down the meat. He was astonishing. He was so tiny, she could probably hold him like a baby. The moment she saw his little mouth, his face, his shell falling off, she had fallen in love with him. This adorable, beautiful, tiny, dragon was hers. And she would protect it with all her heart. There is no way she would let anyone hurt him. By this time Ivan was at the foot of her bed. He made a small noise.

Destany quickly got out of bed and went to the kitchen, Ivan folowing her every step. He made another noise, somewhere between a whine and a growl. It was adorable. He was probably hungry. She pulled out a hunk of raw meat. Ivan jumped to try and get it and landed on his butt. At least it wasn't a wing. She thought. Cutting the meat to small bites so he wouldn't choke she turned.

"No begging Ivan. I'm almost done, we don't want to choke do we?" She said sternly. He gave an expression that reminded her of pouting. "Aw, now don't do that. I'm done, see." Destany holds up a piece of the meat. Ivan immediately perked up. She laid it in front of him before getting another. This continued for a while. She had read that green dragons were the smallest, but she didn't care. He definitely wouldn't be the weakest. No. He wouldn't. "Come on, lets go meet other guardians and dragons." Ivan jumps up and wobbles at a run to her feet. Unable to resist, Destany picks him up and carries him in her arms. "Hmm, I wonder where I can find another guardian in the middle of the day. Perhaps a park?" She asks, and Ivan makes a small sound. Adorable!
