365 Days of Drabbles: Day Eighty-Four

For stasia: "any of your currently finished drabbles, but from the other participant's perspective."

First story: You Can't Keep That as a Pet

Anybody got a name for these? :)

* * *

The two dragons had growled at each other until the smaller one slunk off into the cave. Then the larger leaned its head down so close to her that Miriam thought her heart would stop.

But then it said, "Don't worry, dear. My son is too young to be taking princesses yet."

"Princess? But I'm not..."

"It doesn't matter. Home you go tomorrow."

Home. To her father who had declared her witchborn, and her step-mother who had wished her dead.

"Please no," she heard herself say.

"What?"

"I'll be your slave 'til I die, but please don't take me back."

I now feel even more sympathy for mama dragon.

Just because she's the size of a freight train and armored like a tank doesn't mean being a single mom is easy.

How is she at tidying the sleeping areas of young male dragons?

I suspect her son will be in charge of tidying his pet's area. :)

Well, unless someone offers up a prompt at the next call. ;p

[aldersprig.livejournal.com]

I think I need a list of "things I want to ask for in the next prompt call"

[jeriendhal.livejournal.com]

Well I will need about 270 prompts after I get through the current round. Feel free to make the list as long as you want. :)
