You woke up the next day put on your collar and anklets, and ate breakfast, and told mom you were going to the park again today, and left to find Waterspout. Waterspout was standing in the same spot as earlier and you walked up to him," so where's this secret?" You whispered
"Follow me, my dad says he'll keep it secret if you do." Waterspout said
"Well I'm pretty sure that if I were to meet a human from outside the cave I would be in deep anyway." You said
Waterspout lead you to an area where his father stood and waited for you. You had to confirm that you were being honest with Waterspout's dad first, but once you did you continued to follow Waterspout until you reached a hole not big enough for you to get through but big enough for something smaller.
"So what's this?" You ask Waterspout," It's a hole where humans can come through to talk to us." He responded.
"Aaaand?" You said
"You know that human that my dad healed?" Waterspout asked and you nodded," well she has a son who is interested in dragons so we're going to have a little talk about the differences between dragons and humans with each other." He finished
"Well that sounds nice, when are they arriving?" You asked
"Well they're not nocturnal like us, but they're awake during the evening so they'll arrive at any time." Waterspout finished
You waited for about 20 minutes, and you saw something coming through the hole. She was wearing armor with a dragon crest and following her was a child who was wearing only clothes.
"Come on Dave it's okay one of them is a friend of mine," the taller human said and the smaller one followed. They looked medieval, and were almost as tall as you, but you expected everything else.
"Hello Waterspout I see your friend is here just like you said." The taller human said
"Greetings to you too Hellen, and this is your son I presume." Waterspout said
"Yes," Hellen said urging him towards Waterspout," introduce yourself now."
Her son was about 10 years old you guessed mentally as he stepped forward to introduce himself," H....hello....m.....Mr.....dd..dragon...I...I'm Dave." Dave said nervous
"It's okay to be scared of what you know not of it's natural, but that's why we're here is to get to know one another, my name is Waterspout." Waterspout said
You approached slowly as to not scare Dave off and so he can notice you as your scales camouflage your in the darkness.
He saw you and stumbled scared, but you said," No it's okay I'm friends with Waterspout, i..it's just I..I've never seen a human before," you said," my name is Midnight, and I'm just as interested in humans as you are with us."
"Oh, from the darkness you looked male but your female." Hellen said
"Yes, now ask us anything you want to know Dave and we will answer to the best we can." You said moving beside Waterspout.
Dave sighed," Okay first question is it true that you breathe fire?" Dave asked
"Some of us can blow fire from our mouths yes, but I can't however Midnight can." Waterspout said gesturing to you.
You then blew a small flame from your mouth so that Dave could see, and you responded," It's good when trying fend off enemies but it's not that useful for long range." You said,"but I don't see me using it on humans much, considering the armor."
Dave nodded and calmed down some more,"My turn," you said,"How resourceful are humans?"
"Well um you see uh." Dave said then Hellen chimed in,"Humanity has constructed castles, houses and forts from stone like on the walls of this cave."
"Really!" You said surprised not by the answer, but by the fact that there are whole castles already.
Dave then walked up to you and asked," Well miss Midnight was it my next question is a little odd it's just can I feel your scales, wings, horns and claws?" Dave asked embarrassed
"Sure," you said laying down," just not the area between my hind legs."
Dave walked up to you and ran his hands across your back, tail, wings, horns, and claws. You and Dave smiled at each other, and he sat down beside you.
"Okay, how long do humans live and if it's different please tell me how old you are?" You asked
"Well humans life expectancy for humans is about 80 years currently how's that compared to yours?" Hellen said.
"Are you serious?" You said acting shocked
"Did I say something?" Hellen asked
"Dragon life expectancy is about 897,056 years." Waterspout answered
"How old are you two?" You asked
"I am 38 years old, and Dave is about 12 years old." Hellen said," how about your ages?"
"I'm about 188,956 years old," you said
"I am 190,234 years old." Waterspout said
Everyone took a while to process the information, besides you that is. "I think it's getting late we should go home Dave." Hellen finally said
"Okay, goodby Waterspout, goodbye Midnight." Dave said following his mother out the hole.
You and Waterspout exited the arena not long after as well, and he made it very clear that you couldn't tell anyone at all not even your parents, or Aqua.
"That was a lot to take in."you said once you were in the park again
"I know dang that was a lot." Waterspout said
"And to think that I get to see their world in another 1,044 years," you said
"Yeah for me even less," Waterspout looked at you as you looked at him in silence.
You decided to go home, and you descovered that time moves faster for dragons, and after what seemed to be a month was actually 700 years ago. You knew that you will be able to go outside the cave eventually, and when you do you'll know that things will be drastically different, then from now.
