The Dragon in Our Midst

Chapter 5: Home Sweet Home

First things first, I need to decorate the space. I have no mattress to put on the rock, no bedding, nowhere to put my clothes and no shiny objects. I might even give it a lick of paint. when I have envisioned what I wanted it to look like I got changed into my clothes and walked down the mountain. its daylight so my dragon wouldnt exactly be able to hide. I take my bag equipped with a wallet, phone and just in case emergency stuff. alarm, pepperspray, first aid kit, emergency stuff. it took me a while to get down the mountain but by the time I did, I was sweating profusely, had scrapes on my knees and hands, I was sore and I was pretty sure I had a blister from my runners. no matter what next time Im using my dragon. I head to the nearest town, not being too far away and collapse on the first bench I found.

I get out my first aid kit and tend to my wounds from the mountain. it takes only a few minutes before Im ready to move on. first things first, I need a closet for my clothes. I head to the nearest furniture store and I found a nice closet made of a nice wood, I also found a nice table for really cheap with matching chairs, I purchase all of it and they offered to help. No Ive got it. thx tho." I say. I even made a joke about putting them in a bag. we both know there wasnt a bag in the world strong enough to hold everything or to fit it as I bought it already assembled. I head out the store and think about it. I need shiny things. cds could work but there is nothing to hang them on so I gave it a miss. I went to the mattress store and got a single, it was the only size that could fit on the rock.

with my new goodies taking up most of my surface area, I turned into a dragon and headed home. there was no way my human form could cary any of that by myself. in my dragon form though, it was like just holding a bag. several meters in the air. with a risk of dropping it. I arrive at my cave a few minutes later and decorated my cave. the closet went near the rock slab, the table and chairs against the wall near the enterance,I have no idea why I bout four chairs, its not like Im going to have friends over. I finish unpacking and look at my handiwork. "Nice. Very Nice" I mutter. now its looking like Home Sweet Home.

By the time I finished my handiwork it was sunset and I hadnt eaten all day. I have to think about the long term. its not like this cave can have electricity so I cant go to the grocery store. if I start eating farm ani als someone is bound to notice eventually. I will come up with a long term plan. but for now, a cow sounds good.

meal eaten and back home, I slump on my bed, after all day of running around, everything hurt. I fell to sleep as soon as my head hit that pillow. all went black and I let it.
