~* What is this? *~
Sage wandered in the grassy plains. The tall grass tickled his short brown and green snout. He sneezed loudly, smoke trailing out of his nose. His tail trashed in annoyence. He hated it when he sneezd. It hurt. A mellow white butterfly drifted before him. His bright lime colored eyes sparkled as he gave chase not knowing if anyone else was there or not.***
Angels_GraceEstrella squirmed. The rough grass against her skin annoyed her. Some blades were sharp, some tickled. She chirped loudly. Her eyes had opened a bit and she could see a little of the world around her. Her ears were a bit slower and she was still unable to hear what was going on around her.
***
Sage heard one of the chirps in the otherwise quiet atmosphere. He froze looking for where the sound came from. In that short time, he lost his butterfly. Annoyed and a bit confused, he ran straight ahead to try and catch up with the white fluttering bug. In the process he fail to notice the small blue dragon before him. He tripped over her scaly body and went crashing into the dirt. "Ow...." he groaned. ***
Angels_GraceEstrella chirped loudly again and rolled over. A small cry came from her and she lifted her heavy head and looked around to see what bumped into her. Although her sight still wasn't the best, she saw something green that stood out from the grass. Tilting her head, she sniffed the air, trying to pick up the scent.
***
Sage jumped to his paws and spun around to take a look at whatever felled him. What he saw was a dark colored little dragon femme. He leaned foward and sniffed the scaled bundle of blood and bones. "Hello there?" he said with a curious tone in his voice, "what are you? You look like a Tatsu, but you're just too small..." ***
Angels_GraceEstrella chirped softly and rolled onto her back. Her arms reached up and she touched Sage's face, still sniffing the air. This was how she would remember who she met. Smell. Unable to hear him, her bright purple eyes stared up at him, although things were blurry from her point of view.
***
Sage blew a puff of warm air towards the tiny dragon. "I'm Sage," he snorted. Her eyes were the deepest violet he had ever seen. He loved the color purple, but this was almost too much. He cast his eyes to the grass as the baby stared at him. ***
Angels_GraceEstrella watched his mouth move through blurry vision. " Age! " She chirped and pointed at him. Her tiny tail moved back and forth as she watched him with a big grin on her face.
***
"It talks!" Sage gasped taking two small steps back. His eyes were wide with surprise. It was a baby dragon. He didn't know what to do. Should he run away? Or should he help the baby through the tall, merciless grass? ***
Angels_GraceEstrella watched his mouth move again and tilted her head. " Alk? " She rolled back over onto her stomach and watched him curiosly. She chirped, wondering why he was backing away.
***
Sage nudged her with the back of his paw. She was warm and full of life. He like that in nature and she was no acception. He decided not to run. "Want a ride?" he asked her. ***
Angels_GraceEstrella tilted her head in confusion. She had only been mimicing his mouth motions. Being unable to hear what he said or understand, her violet eyes filled with confusion as she stared at him.
***
Sage saw that she did not understand him by the glint in her indigo eyes. He nudged his snout under her back and flipped her onto his thick skull. He moved and wiggled sliding the baby down his neck and onto his back with gentle care. "Ride," he repeated. ***
Angels_GraceEstrella chirped as she felt herself being lifted from the ground. In second, she found herself on Sage's back. Blinking, she looked around slowly. She was slightly higher than before and had a new perspective of everything around her. She looked back at Sage and watched his mouth move again. " Ide. "
***
Sage felt her grab onto his scales with the slightly sticky pads of her paws. She had said 'ide' which Sage took as ride. He started off into the grass at a slow trot, so she would fall.
