A Dragon Lesson

 Chapter 8

 A Dragon Lesson

 Kochishimaru and Vithiriod both woke up at the same time. They were still shivering from their nightmare. But soon, they were normal again and went to the field. About 10 students were there.

 “So, what do you think the next lesson will be?” Vithiriod asked.

 “I don’t know,” Kochishimaru shrugged.

 “I hope we’re going to read the big version of the Dragon Encyclopedia!”

 In half an hour, Mothero had come. “Now, I’m sure you will love this new lesson,” He began.

 A dragon landed near Mothero. It had golden scales, and was twice as big as Mothero.

 “This is a Sky Dragon,” Mothero said.

 All the students were amazed and very excited. “I will make you ride this dragon!” Mothero shouted.

 The students were even more excited now. Then a chariot pulled by Hojiko came.

 “This chariot just delivered the books for this year. Come and take one!”

 They all ran towards the chariot and pulled a book out. Every had the title “Dragon Encyclopedia” written on it.

 After they got their books they went back and lined up. “We will study this book for information on the Dragons that we are going to have this year,” Mothero said. “Now you might feel uncomfortable studying these books by standing up, so we have also brought you some chairs.”

 “Where?” A student asked.

 “You’ll see,” Mothero replied.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 159.75pt"> A shriek of a dragon could be heard from behind. Everybody looked back and saw a storm of the same golden dragons as the one here. They were flying in the sky with wooden chairs hold by having their claws pinched through it. They started flying towards the ground now. When they were a few meters away from the ground, they released the chairs, and they landed perfectly on their legs. Then the dragons flew away.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 159.75pt"> “Taka a seat!” Mothero shouted.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 159.75pt"> After the students were seated, Mothero began talking again. ‘You may be wondering on how you can read the book without a desk. But those will also be here in a few seconds.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 159.75pt"> More Sky Dragons came and through the chairs down, they landed in front of each chair perfectly on all four legs. Everybody put their books down on it.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 159.75pt"> “Now,” Mothero said. “Head to the Sky Dragons chapter.”

They are also used to cold climates, so a hot place won't work for them.

Their favorite food though is wild animals living on land. They usually eat big ones like lions, tigers, rhinos, and gazelles.

They can travel 7 miles per hour. They can also fly without a break for 12 hours and tire a little bit after those 12 hours. They can fly very high as well, up to 15,000 feet above sea level.

They have sharp claws that can kill wild animals easily. Their fangs are also very sharp; they use them to eat small birds in a shot amount of time during flying.
