Serene

I was back at the entrance of the cave that my little friend showed me and I was a child again. I had the feeling I was supposed to be meeting him here but it was daytime because I was afraid to go at night by myself. I was excited to see what it looked like during the day and as I went in it was still pretty dark. I was trying not to be afraid because I know that can turn bad fast. I put on my brave face and just walk in with no fear. As I get beyond the first curve near the entrance I saw the light from the hole above lighting the beach area where the water and sand was and I felt relieved that it was not dark anymore. I sat on the sand and looked around waiting to see where my friend was. I heard a growling sound that sounded like a giant dog. I turned to look to the back right and there was another tall area that appeared to be another open area so I got up and walked slowly over to that area without going in yet still at a distance. I could see movement and immediately I was frightened and called for my friend to see if he was playing a trick on me. I walked closer and the growling got louder and I could feel a breeze coming out of the area as it blew my hair. I was terrified as I saw nostrils and eyes on a head that were humongous! I couldn't tell what it was but when it opened it's mouth and growled again I could see very sharp teeth. It then made a sound like it was in pain. I walked a little closer to the opening which was still a good distance from it and I saw a huge open area inside it looked like a room the size of a ball field. I then saw a sword handle shining and it was stuck all the way into the back of it's leg. The thought came over me that this was my friend and then I giggled and said when I told you to fly last time I didn't mean as a dragon. You scared me! I walked closer and immediately wanted to help this dragon even though he looked terrifying. He was black scaly and his wings looked like bat wings to me. They were all tucked up. I walked over to it as it lay on the ground and tried to pull out the sword but it was stuck. I kept pulling and it slowly came out and the dragon was wimpering. I felt so bad I went over to take a break and rubbed it's face. His eyes were brown and menacing looking. He grimaced at me but I had no fear at all. Of course because I thought this was my friend as a dragon. I went back and pulled this sword that was about as tall as I was out and blood started gushing out of the dragons leg. I immediately ran over and asked him if he could blow fire on it and he just looked at me. I started screaming at him to get him mad and laid the sword down on the rock in front of him and acted like I was blowing fire out of my mouth. Then he raised himself up on his feet he was hunched over even though the cave was very tall and I backed up against the wall. He blew out a flame. It wasn't a huge flame but enough to where the sword was glowing. I was so hot I was sweating! I walked over and I knew I needed to pick this sword up but it was glowing hot. This was the only way to save him from bleeding to death so I reached down and told myself it will not burn me it will not burn me and I picked it up and walked over and touched it to the dragons hole in his leg to close the wound. He jumped up and screeched so loud it shook the cave. Just then my friend peeked around the entrance of the wall and said are you ok? I looked over at him and immediately became terrified! I looked up at the dragon and he leaned down and stared at me with his brown eye right in front of me and a tear. I could feel he was not angry anymore. He laid back down and I knew he was now my friend as well. I rubbed his face and held my hand there a moment as to send my love to him. My friends eyes were huge. We sat on the sand at our beach in the cave and told him all about our new friend. I wondered if maybe that hole at the top was how he got in?
