Moonspear ten thousand miles above the clouds

"mountain dragons!" terance repeated, hiding his inner amusement. jesus christ, no, there was no such thing as a dragon. but osprey taught him a lot about wonder and mystery, and dragons seemed to offer that to a boy who bit the alpha's son in the leg. carefully, he nosed aries to turn around, avoiding the kids sharp milk teeth. "look," he whispered, his green eyes floating to a tiny green skink that wandered by. the mountain was covered in little lizards, roaming free. they did no harm, as far as terance was concerned, so he didn't mind telling aries they were here to destroy-wolf kind and he should be on a mission to destroy them first.

"that there is a mountain dragon. it's disguised itself as a cute and innocent creature-- but it's not," he paused, eyeing the kid to gauge his reaction (and interest) to this story. "there are hundreds of 'em, all over the mountain. one day they're all gonna shift into fire breathing beasts and destroy us all! we gotta get to them first." was that too deep? too dark? terance wasn't sure... maybe this was a story for older pups. whoops. "what do you say?"
