Dragons are solitary by nature. Although several species are known to hunt in packs and live as clans, their lives are still extremely separate from one another, with members of a dragon clan living anywhere within up to seven kilometers away from the Alpha’s den. This information is exactly why Green locked herself in the attic of the local pub. Nine dragons, She screamed in her head. There had been nine dragons outside that cave, NINE DRAGONS! A small mottled one, a sky-blue firemind, a parchment ridgeback, TWO ice-spiners, a hellkite, an emerald drake, a blue wake-diver, and a mystery specimen… They can’t all be from the same clan, they’d all be similar species! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!? Green’s naturally neat and straight black hair …show more content…

“No problem. I’ll look into the bounty situation. You take care… and try to stay out of trouble.” Sol nodded, heading out onto the street. What a guy, Green thought to herself, making her way to one of the break rooms. Producing a set of keys from her pocket, she meticulously fingered through them until she came upon the dark cast-iron key with the triangle ring, and inserted it into the hole and turned it, locking herself in the room for privacy. “Let’s see what we have here,” she mumbled to herself, unfurling the roll of parchment Sol had passed her.

I have reason to believe that the suspect may have been wrongfully accused.” Elizabeth lifted the poster, examining it. “Slash, could you come here for a moment?” The man with black hair got up from his desk once more, inspecting the poster himself. “Hmmm…” He tore off a small corner of the parchment and returned to his desk, pulling out a match and setting the torn corner in an ashtray, before striking the match and burning the paper.
