Chapter 3 - CHAPTER 3: SURVIVAL 1

Part 1: God of Wind

It's been 2 days since Danny left the Dragon valley and 1 day since the disaster in the forest killed Bobi's family. Bobi regained his consciousness in the morning and the first thing he felt was hunger, he was starving but he couldn't find food on his own. He started to walk towards the mountain. Then he saw piles of bugs and beetles scattered around the ground. Delighted to see a year worth of food together he ran towards it and started to eat. He felt full and unable to move after he finished eating.

Slowly the speed and direction of the wind started to change, it became too strong. Bobi was thrown back to the forest by it. He hid behind the tree and watched what was happening. What he saw was like something out of a beautiful dream, a dragon flying above him. That was the most breathtaking view he had ever seen. The pale white scales of the dragon sparkled in the sun, the strong armoured wing changed the weather with a flap, the roar of the dragon scared away even the thunder clouds, the ferocity in its eyes was the proof of its confidence on its own strength. All of its features were tattooed into Bobi's mind.

The dragon came down and landed on the clearing were the beetles were present. In its talons it had a live lion struggling to get free. The strength of the rumoured king of the jungle seemed nothing in front of the majestic beast, the God of Wind. The dragon tossed the lion into the air and opened its mouth wide. In went the lion with a deafening scream, the last cry for mercy. The dragon tore the lion into pieces with its sharp teeth and gave a pose of victory before swallowing it. The bits of flesh and drops of blood of the lion were falling into the ground, hungry beetles were running towards them to enjoy their fresh meal. Then Bobi realised, he was eating the beetles scavenging on the leftovers of the dragon. Although it felt a little disgusting this was the only place Bobi could get easy free food, so he decided to remain hidden and eat the scavenger beetles whenever he was hungry.
