Chapter 5 Come back Jonathan waited for everybody to leave. It was getting dark now, the only thing lighting up the facility was the bright lights on the roof. He watched as the last person, a janitor, walked up to the main entrance and turned to look at him. "Can you turn off the lights once you're done with whatever you're doing?" The janitor asked him. "Yeah, I can do that." Jonathan replied, peering into the storage room to make it look like he was actually doing something. He heard the door creaking shut as the last person left. It was just him and Pyrite now. Jonathan sensed a mix of happiness and fear in her. 'What are we going to do about all this?' Jonathan asked her. 'I don't know.' She said sadly. 'But we have the whole night to plan something.' 'I'll have a look around for something.' Jonathan told her, looking over at the massive sealed gate to their left. 'Maybe I can find some way to open that door.' Pyrite's mood improved a little as he said that. Jonathan began

Chapter 4 The promise It took a long time for Jonathan to wake up. The intense humidity all around him had kept him sleeping for hours. Of course, he had no way of knowing what time it was. Slowly he opened his eyes and observed the dark environment around him. He couldn't see anything anymore, as he was in total darkness. He found this strange as when he had been swallowed the day before, there had been light, albeit dim, inside Pyrite's belly. Slowly he nudged against the stomach walls to see if Pyrite was awake. He did this for a minute or two to no avail. "Pyrite?" He called out, unaware if she would hear him. 'Pyrite?' He asked in his head. Suddenly he felt the stomach shift around him, and to his surprise, the stomach began to light up to the point where he could see fairly clearly around him. 'Good morning.' Pyrite said to him. 'Sorry about waking you up.' Jonathan said to her. 'I was just trying to see if you were awake or not.' 'Something you should know about dragons is

Chapter 3 Pyrite The next morning, Jonathan arrived at work early, and he pulled his car into the car park and went over to the huge white building. His hope was that he could knock out all of his jobs now, before his boss arrived, to avoid getting into another argument. As he stepped in the door, he looked through the main observation room to see the dragon lying down sadly, like it always did. Still feeling frustrated with how it was being treated, he stepped into the room and looked at it sadly. The dragon opened its eyes at the sound of his footsteps approaching, and its mood seemed to light up. As he got closer, Jonathan began to feel a strange pain in his head- the same odd feeling that he'd felt a day or two ago. 'Are you okay?' Jonathan tensed a little, and he reached his hand up to massage his forehead. "Who said that?" He asked softly, looking around for any people. 'Are you okay?' Jonathan began to realise that this wasn't a person talking, the voice, the same feminine

Chapter 1 The first task "Hey, come look at this." Jonathan curiously stepped over to his colleague, who was carrying a small blue thing that looked glossy and shiny, and had a curved triangular shape. "What is that?" He asked curiously. His colleague, a woman named Sarah who was wearing a white lab coat and transparent safety goggles like him, observed the shiny object carefully. "What do you think it is?" She asked. "I found it up in the mountains when I was looking for samples." "It looks kind of like a scale." Jonathan told her. "Similar to that of a snake, but it's too big to be a snake scale." Sarah wandered back and forth the lab they were in, trying to figure out what it was. "Perhaps this one does belong to a reptile, it's just a deformed large scale." Jonathan looked at the scale closer, trying to determine if that was true or not. "I don't think so." He told Sarah. "A deformed scale would have a deformed shape as well. This scale looks perfectly normal. We might be
