In the closet, under the bed and on the cabinet, Ximu hid in all those 3 areas or anywhere he could hide away from the animal that was causing a ruckus. And right now, Ximu is hiding under the blanket.
Not the best one yet but he believes it would work like any other times when he was a child hiding under a blanket. He felt safe under there. As long as he can't be seen, he is safe but that's not the case anymore. That can only work on imaginary beings and not a living breathing creature that's running wild around the house. And right now, that said living breathing creature is right beside the blanketed Ximu.
But Ximu still felt safe there.
And the creature took a step and was now on top of the blanketed Ximu, 'Heavy..!' Thought Ximu as he desperately tries to breath silently while the creature starts to spin and rest on top of his stomach and Ximu can't do anything about it.
The huge looking lizard looked pitiable because of his previous state all bloody and scratches and his wings were clipped as well. Ximu's heart would torn if he had left the poor creature alone in the woods so he took it with him but what he didn't know is that the creature he took in was a dragon.
A small baby dragon that was hunted, kidnapped and used for its great power that amounts to a vast ocean but even with all that power, it was still a baby and a strange collar was placed on him as well that made him subservient.
He was able to escape when he accidentally entered the woods and the collar removed itself making him free from the clutches of those who had taken him hostage and be able to do anything he wants now but before he could do that, he fainted and slept soundly while Ximu found the poor dragon near the woods barriers and took the dragon in without hesitation.
And now Ximu has to deal with the dragon who is hostile towards him because he is a human and humans were the ones who had wronged him but the dragon couldn't kill Ximu because it felt as though Ximu was not a human but was more that of a 'plant' than a human.
The dragon didn't want to kill who is not human because most of the time, he saw all kinds of creatures that were sold and tortured; they all suffered in the same hands of a human so now all the dragon wants is to get rid the humans away from him when he has the chance and that chance is finally here.
When the dragon awoke from his sleep, a weak and frail looking young man holding a tray of medicines and patches was there standing in front of him.
It was a human, a human moved him from his previous spot and into his home while he soundly slept away in his dreams. And with that, he became terrified and thought of all the things the previous humans did to him will begin once more just right after he had escaped but when he looked down at his neck, he noticed it was not a collar but a bandage and when he took a closer look at his body, he saw that the gashes on his body was patched up and the ruptured wing was, well, left untouched.
Ximu was not a great caretaker but he does his best.
But even when the dragon felt something off about Ximu, he still jumped on him which made Ximu took a step backwards and a fall and a shiver and whispering scream coming out of his mouth. Even though Ximu took pity on the poor creature, he was still afraid since the wings of the dragon was like that of a bat and bats were terrifying to Ximu.
But Ximu still tries his best.
And when the dragon became aware that the human was afraid of him, he would chase him or scare him just to satisfy himself. Probably from his grudge, anger or regret that he didn't meet this type of human instead of meeting the undesirable ones.
And so with the dragon chasing around and sometimes causing a ruckus every now and then, Ximu had to hide wherever he can in his own home.
It would be nice if he left the house and make a new one but he can't due to his weak condition so now this leads to a game of hide 'n seek.
When the dragon finds Ximu, the dragon jumps and Ximu runs or faints but when the dragon can't find Ximu, which is impossible, then Ximu will be safe.
It's a fun game for the dragon but hellish for the human and these two beings are now asleep on the same bed that the human was supposedly hiding at.
The dragon wouldn't leave Ximu when he was under the blanket but at least he wasn't found, or so he thinks, so now the both of them are sleeping soundly until the next morning came.
