You were awakened to the sounds of screaming and explosions off
on the other side of the mountain that separated your village from the other village.
You staggered out of your cave and could hear the ground shake
beneath your feet.
There was a lot of running about and shouting from the other
dragon-kin and you watched the females hauling rucksacks filled with their eggs to one cave in particular.
Since you hadn't laid a clutch yet you were spared that chore.
You looked up into the skies and could see various specks up there twirling around
each another.
A dogfight?
Yes,you saw one the specks detach itself from the battle going on
high above and head in the general direction of your village.
You heard the whine of the approaching
enemy and then the "buzz buzz buzz"
as the thing shot three teardrop shaped bits of flame at your village.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM" came the explosions as the fiery flaming missiles struck
the cave entrance behind you.
You were knocked to the ground by the force of the blasts
and just lay there stunned as all the other dragon-kin,including
Pitch,Amber and Chill,abandoned you and fled to the safety of the cave
where the eggs had been brought.
So you were there alone when the obviously enemy craft landed a hundred yards away and its canopy opened
revealing a human face up front and a robotic face in the fighters back seat.
The robot got out and started walking towards you,a bolt gun cradled in its arms.
Suddenly the human pilot pointed towards the mountain,then quickly closed the canopy of his fighter and took off,leaving the clanking
robot to fend for itself.
The robot ran away from you.
You looked towards the distant mountain and could see a squarish stone object racing a few hundred yards above the ground heading towards your village.
It looked like a flying castle with towers and a paddlewheel spinning furiously where the courtyard would be.
"A KT Starliner,a Psi Kinetic Tractor starship" your inner
knowledge supplied to your brain just
before you blanked out.
A dragon-kin starship at that.
