2 A Fire Breather

CHAPTER 2

A Fire Breather Lucas spotted Clara outside a stall. He watched her gently brush her horse, Scallop. Scallop was a velvet- brown Arabian horse with a black mane, a black tail, and white socks. The horse had been a reward from King Caleb for finding Queen Tasha's lost emerald. "Clara!" called Lucas. "You'll never guess what!"

Clara stopped brushing. Her green eyes lit up when she saw her friend. "What?" she asked. "André and Grom found a red dragon's egg on Crestwood!" said Lucas. "A red dragon's egg!" exclaimed Clara. "Do you know what that means?" "It means there's a scarlet dragon inside!" "Exactly," said Clara. Then her face became serious. "And you know what they say about red dragons." "Sure," answered Lucas. "The legends say they're the most magnificent dragons in all the world!" "And the most feared," Clara added.

"Not to worry," Lucas said. "It's all in the training." Clara rolled her eyes. "Have you ever trained a fire-breathing dragon?" she asked.

"Actually, I've never even trained a dog," Lucas said. "But the knights and wizards know all about dragon training." "I suppose," said Clara. "But what if it sets Wrenly on fire?" "Then we'll put the fire out," said Lucas. "Trust me. A red dragon is going to be amazing." "Well, it certainly is exciting," Clara admitted. Lucas gave Clara a pat on the shoulder. "Well, I'd better be off," he said. "My parents are taking me to see the egg right now." Clara waved as Lucas ran back to the castle.
