Nothing Interesting Today

"Come on Falkor, dig!" Garble said enthusiastically

"I am, I am!" I said back just as enthusiastic

It had been a couple of days since we had hung out at 'Volcanic Caves' with Ember and we had come back a few days later wanting to hang out again after having a lot of fun last time. Sadly, It seemed that either Ember hadn't come yet or she didn't come all the time.

It also seemed like the cave was packed with other drakes and drakinas like last time but that also meant that almost all the lava baths were taken leaving me and Garble off to find something else to do hence why Garble and I were currently trying to dig for gems.

Before we had left to go back today our mother had told us she was surprised that we had stayed In the lava baths all day on our first day even when there were other things we could've done.

Garble then proceeded to ask her what could've been better than hanging out In the lava baths. As soon as he asked that I saw her grin In a way that showed off her razor-sharp teeth as she said In an innocent-like voice. "Well, the gems of course."

This confused Garble since he had said that we had already gems at home to eat which my mom then rebuttaled with. "Yes, we have gems at home but If you find any at Volcanic Caves then you get to keep It for yourself." She explained

As soon as she said that I swore I saw Garble's pupils expand as he proceeded to try and rush me and our mother up, which In turn explains our present situation.

I proceeded to keep digging as I found that my claws could cut through the volcanic soil that was off a ways from the lava baths.

As I kept on digging my hand finally clicked on something causing my eyes to widen as I started to dig around until I found It.

"Did you get anything?" Garble asked

I proceeded to climb out I pulled the gem from behind and I held it up above my head.

"I sure did," I said with my chest puffed out.

Garble started to drool a bit as he started coming closer and closer until he tried jumping for It causing me to lower the gem and sidestep him as he fell to the ground.

"Now, now you know the rules," I said with mock disappointment.

He proceeded to shake off some ash as he turned around with a grumpy look on his face.

"Falkor come onnnnnnnnnn." He whined

I shook my head. "Nope, you know the rules, 'If we find a gem and It's big enough we-"

"Always share yeah yeah whatever," Garble said cutting me off as he snatched the gem from me before taking a bite and handing It back.

I proceeded to take a bit of the gem as the flavors suddenly flooded my mouth. Weirdly enough It tasted as If I was drinking a Sprite only I was eating It.

We proceeded to keep taking turns eating It until Garble had taken a bite of It and handed the piece to me.

I went to go grab It only to see that there wasn't much of It left and If I ate It that would be the last of It.

"...You can have the rest of It Garble." I said

He whipped his face towards me In shock and restrained glee. "R-really?" Garble asked causing me to chuckle In response.

"Yes." I simply said

"Alright! Thanks Falkor," Garble said enthusiastically as he proceeded to devour the rest of the gem.

"Hey guys." A voice said

We both turn around as we see Ember slightly speedwalking towards us while a purple drake with red hair and a dark red tip at the end of his tail is slightly taller than me and Garble Is trying to talk with her as they approach us.

"Hey Ember," I point to the drake that's slightly behind her. "Who's that?" I ask causing Ember to huff.

"I don't know, this idiot just approached me out of nowhere interrupting my relaxation time after you guys left and then started following me again today," She explains just as the drake joins us.

"Princess Ember, can you stop going all over the place," The drake said slightly annoyed.

She turns around also with an annoyed look on her face, "Well If you stop following me then you wouldn't have to keep moving around would you," Ember said before turning back to face us.

"Wellll, If you want you can join us In digging for gems, me and Garble found one that tasted good." I offered just as Garble came back up from digging with a blue-colored emerald kinda looking like one from that one block placing game.

"Falkor! Look, I got another one," He said as he joins us.

"Nice! Though, we may have to dig for more for our guests," I say pointing to Ember and the drake.

He looks towards them as he gives Ember a nod and turns to the drake with a suspicious look as he tightens the grip on the gem he has.

I roll my eyes. "Garble, calm down there's still other gems for him to get," I said as I turn towards the drake. "Right?" I questioned

"Hey, he asked you a question," Garble said causing the random drake to narrow his eyes In response.

"Alright, you drakes can fight over gems If you want, I know that I'm hungry for one right now though." She said as she starts to make her way over to a random area of volcanic soil before stopping. "Falkor, you wanna join me?" She asked causing my eyes to widen In shock.

"U-uh yeah sure," I said as I get up from the ground and start making my way over.

"I'm coming too." The random drake said

"Yeah, me too," Garble said slightly narrowing his eyes at the random drake.

Thankfully, nothing happened as we spent a good amount of time just digging and munching on gems. There was also a time when I gave a piece of a gem I had dug out to Ember as she seemed shocked at the offer.

Garble then explained my 'annoying' rule (his words not mine) as she thanked me before taking a bite of It and passing It to him.

The random drake that had followed us was digging a hole a bit away from us but still close enough to where he could hear and walk over to us If he needed to.

I also noticed that he was digging faster than the rest of us were while also eating through his gems faster than we were as well while we took our time to chat and share bites.

"So Falkor what's your mother like?" Ember asked suddenly

"W-well she's strong, and caring and-"

"And she also loves us," Garble added while cutting me off.

"Loves you huh? That sounds nice," Ember said with a slight frown.

"What about your father, Lord Torch? He sounds like he'd be a cool dad to have." Garble said as he scooches closer taking a bite out of a gem he was holding, "Plus, he's a drake, so I mean can't go wrong there." He added on

"Wel-"

"Hey, I need some gems," The random drake suddenly said Interrupting her.

"What do you mean you need gems? You have a whole hole to yourself to dig from." Garble asked

"It's empty and I ate all mine." He said back

"How are you not full yet?" I asked genuinely confused.

He ignores me as he turns to Ember. "Princess Ember, can you tell them to give me some gems." He said

"And why would I do that?" Ember asked

"Because I want some." He responds back

She shrugs her shoulders, "OK? Then go to another hole and dig some more up," She said with an annoyed look.

He then started grinning just enough to show off his sharp teeth. "I'm tired from digging all day." He said in response

"Well I guess It sucks to suck then but that's not our problem," Garble said In a nonchalant manner.

His head then shifted towards Garble. "No asked you Henich."

Garble then got up off the ground pissed, as he marched over to the drake before puffing smoke In his face. "What did you call me?" He questioned

"I said that you're a Henich. What, can't understand proper draconic?" He asked sarcastically

"Take that back, Now." Garble said snarling

"Why should I, I didn't say anything wrong did I?" He asked acting innocently

"Yo-"

"Garble, calm down, he's just trying to rile you up," I say walking up to them, hoping to deescalate the situation.

"Calm Down!? Did you hear what he said?" Garble asked outraged

"Of course I heard him, so what? Just because he said It NOW all of a sudden It's true?" I asked him

I see him slightly calm down a bit as he thinks It over, "Well no, of course not."
He said

"Exactly, so there's no reason to get mad If you know It's not true," I explain. "How about this, let's just hang out In the lava bath like we did last time ok?" I suggested

He stays quiet for a minute as he looks back to the drake before stomping away towards us, "Fine let's go," He says as he stomps ahead of us.

I turn back to the random drake as he looks on In disbelief, "You can have the hole we were using since we're not using It anymore," I say as I start to catch up with Garble as Ember follows behind me.

"Hey Garble," I say catching up to him. "You ok?" I ask concerned.

He shakes his head without answering clearly still upset as I turn my head to Ember while we're walking only for her to she shrugs her shoulders also not knowing what to do as I turn back to Garble.

"Well ok then, I just want you to know-AGH!"

I suddenly get thrown to the floor as I feel a weight slam onto me as I struggle to get up only for my head to be slammed down back into the ground.

"GET OFF OF HIM!" I hear Garble yell out before I feel the weight shift off of me as Ember comes over to help me stand up.

"You ok!?" She asked concerned

I put a hand to my head as I began to stand up. "What happened?" I asked

"That Thricusk drake charged at you from behind and tried to attack you but Garble pulled him off and now they're fighting," Ember explained

"Fighting!?" I say shocked as I turn around witnessing Garble and that random drake from earlier exchanging blows with each other I start to see another drake running towards the two only to start veering towards Garble as he punches him In the face sending him stumbling to the floor.

I don't know what came over me when that happened but all I know Is I felt so much unnatural rage start to build up inside me that I started snarling as I ran over towards that drake who punched him as I punch him back In the face as hard as I could causing him to stumble a bit towards the other one while rushed over infront of Garble giving him time to get up as I stared down the two drakes.

"Good job Blaze, that Pothoc drake didn't know what hit him," He said with a cocky grin, "But maybe don't get punched next time." He said

"Sorry Viserion that drake just came out of nowhere," Blaze says before turning towards Ember, "Don't worry Princess Ember we'll take care of these weaklings." He said confidently

"Are you serious!?" Ember said outraged as she ran over to my side to check on Garble. "Garble, you ok?" She asked sounding concerned

"Yeah, I'm fine, little Faessi got a lucky hit that's all," Garble said as slowly stood back up with Ember's help.

I turn my head to face Garble and Ember. "Are you alright?" I asked also a bit worried

Garble was about to say something back until he paused for some reason while looking at me before responding. "Y-yeah I'm good." He said looking away

I nod as I turn back to the two fuckers standing In front of us with their shit-eating grins, "Now, here's what's going to happen we can either go our separate ways or I can bash your fucking teeth In and use them to gouge your fucking eyes out, now, which one would you prefer?" I said snarling

Viserion raises an eyebrow In response not responding, "Blaze make sure that the princess and the other one don't interfere, I might as well take up this drakes offer," Viserieon said as he starts to approach me.

"You got It Viserion," Blaze said as he starts to try and run around me towards those two.

I go to cut him off only for Viseiron to suddenly begin to rush me I put my arms up just In time as he throws a punch sending me sliding a few feet away from him.

"Focus drake, can't be getting distracted now," He says tauntingly as now a small crowd of drakes starts surrounding us cutting me off from Ember and Garble.

"What did I ever do to you?" I questioned genuinely confused.

"I was nothing but nice to you this entire time!" I said pissed off

"That's the problem!" He said angrily.

"Nice to me, what kind of dragon Is nice to other dragons!? I had planned to take your gems from you when I ran out of mine but you just gave It to me, you know how that felt just being handed something and not earning It instead?" He asked.

"It felt wrong, I was prepared to fight for It, to rightfully claim It for myself and prove that It would've been rightfully mine," He then glared at me.

"Then you just gave It up to me, didn't fight for It, didn't yell at me for It, you just gave It up and walked away. What kind of dragon just gives up and walks away?" He asked

"Princess Ember would probably want to be your ally and I bet you would give her up to-"

I ran up to him as I deck him In the face sending him to the ground as looked up at me with a shocked expression on his face.

"Finish that sentence, I fucking dare you," I said glaring at him with so much rage that a small part of me was feeling worried about the unnatural amount that I was feeling.

Viserion's shocked expression started to slowly morph Into a grin as he picked himself off the floor and put his fists up.

"Now that, was how a real dragon Is supposed to act," He said before he charges at me and throws a punch that I step out of the way of only to feel something wrap around my leg as I feel myself begin to suddenly fall and hit the ground before I see Viserion's fist flying toward me causing me to roll out of the way as I scramble and get back up.

I look down at the floor to see a few small cracks had formed In the floor as he slowly picked his fist back up and looked back at me with a cocky grin.

(Garble POV)

"I can't see Falkor anymore," I tell Ember as I turn back to her.

I'm surprised that Ember was still here If I'm being honest with myself. Everydrake seems to treat her as if she's the Dragon Lord but she's not, Dragon Lord Torch Is the Dragon Lord so I don't get why she's so important.

"Aithyas, we need to get past them and help," She said as she started marching forward until I grabbed her by the arm.

"Where are you going?" I question

"What do you mean? To help Falkor of course," She says trying to break out of my grasp.

"I'LL help Falkor you stay here," I tell her

"I don't have to listen to you-"

"Hello, Princess Ember, and drake." A random voice suddenly said cutting Ember off as we both In the direction It came from as we see-

"HEY! You're the one who punched me," I say as I start making my way over to him.

"Ohh you gonna get yours, buddy," I said as I make my way over to him and go to punch him only for him to dodge It.

"Wha-," I then go to punch him again only for him to dodge It again as he pretends to yawn which causes my blood to boil as I start throwing more punches only for him to keep dodging them.

"STAY STILL!" I yell as he starts laughing at me which causes my blood to boil more.

"You know I was supposed to keep you occupied but If this Is all you can do then I don't think this Is going to be as har-"

I suddenly see a blue fist pop up from my left as the drake stumbles back he holds his face and looks off to the side In shock. "Princess Ember?" He asked shocked

I turn to my left and see Ember standing there with her fists balled up as she glares at the drake making me slightly shiver as I do my best to ignore It.

"Ember what are you doing here?" I questioned

"Helping you," She said rolling her eyes.

"I got this, go wait be-"

"Can you put your Pothoc pride to the side for a second, and just let me help you!" She said looking and sounding annoyed as she cut me off.

'Falkor, I hope you know whatever happens Is on you,' I think to myself as I focus back on the drake.

"Fine, If you get hurt don't come crying to me." I said smirking

"Hah! as If," She says before charging the drake leaving me surprised before I quickly follow behind as we start attacking him together as he starts dodging more frantically.

"Princess Ember, why are you getting involved In this?" He asked, still somehow able to dodge us, "This Is between drakes, no need for a drakina such as yourself to be-"

Ember cuts him off as she finally lands a punch aimed at his snout which causes him to freeze as he grabs It out of pain leaving him open as I grab his head and slam It as hard as I can to the ground causing a few cracks to appear.

"Urghh! I'm so sick of drakes always thinking I can't do anything just because I'm a drakina," She said as he looks at the drake's unconscious body.

"Whatever, come on let's go and help Falkor," She said as she runs off.

"Wait," I call out before I begin following behind her.

'Well I can say without a doubt she knows how to get things done when needed, maybe she isn't totally bad,' I think to myself.

(Marson Pov)

I hit him In the face a few more times before he caught my left fist and tried to punch me to which I responded by blocking with my right arm before moving back away from him as I snatch my fist back.

'Ok, focus Marson, he's just a drake and he seems to be cocky and prideful which means he's bound to make mistakes just gotta wait until he does,' I think to myself before I take the initiative this time to rush him as I throw a punch at him only for him to block It and then grab my arm as he punches me In the face sending me stumbling backwards a bit.

He then tries to throw another punch at me which I'm able to dodge allowing me to grab his extended arm I then hold on to It as I punch him upwards In the chin causing him to flinch for a second which gives me enough time to punch him In the face again which sent him stumbling back again a bit.

"Now THIS Is what I'm talking about!" Viserion said as he tried to charge at me again throwing another punch with his right arm at which I ducked under as then punched him In the side as hard as I could which caused him to gasp In pain.

Wasting no time I moved my arm behind his head as I bring It back to me as I hard as I can forcing his head to go down as I uppercut him straight In the face as hard as I can which sends him In the air a tiny bit before falling to the ground.

I stand there panting and I start to hear voices coming through the crowd, "OUT OF OUR WAY!" I hear a voice yell out.

'Garble?' I think as I see a familiar red dragon come out from within the crowd he looks around for a second before he sees me visibly filling with relief as he starts to rush over before pausing at the sight of Viserion on the floor.

"Woah," He said suprised as he turns to me before a grin slowly starts coming across his face before walking over and throwing an arm over me as pulls me close to him all while still grinning.

"Guess you didn't need us after all," He said as I grin back before recalling something he said.

"Us, what do you mean us?" I asked before seeing Ember squeeze her way through before rushing over to us. "Did you get him?" She asked

I turn to her before turning back to him as I start to slowly make my way over to him and when I do I bring my foot up and stomp on his chest as I lower my head to his face.

"Yield."

He looks at me with no expression before his face slowly shifts Into a grin. "I yield!" He said loudly for everydrake to hear and I don't know why, but hearing him say that out loud gave me a deep sense of satisfaction.

"Well, You Heard Him, Fights Over So Get Out Of Here!" Ember said loudly as multiple groans were heard and the crowd surrounding us finally dispersed.

"Hey, Ember," I say calling out for her as she turns to me. "Now I did," I said before turning to Garble. "Can you carry me to mother?" I asked

He gives me a deadpan look. "Really?" He asked

"Yes," Is all I respond back with.

He sighs as he gets ready to pick me up before we hear Visrerion speak up.

"Just remember drake," He starts as we all turn towards him while he continues to lay on the floor.

"Remember what you felt today because that Is what It means to be a dragon, to rightfully earn something using your own two hands to achieve It, and I bet It felt satisfying didn't It," He said all while grinning at me.

"Let's go," I said as Garble picks me up and puts me over his shoulder as we make our way to our mother.

"Bye Ember, see you next time," I said waving goodbye.

"See you later as well Falkor," She said waving back.

I stopped waving as I thought about what Viserion said about me feeling satisfied after the fight and I couldn't help but feel worried about what he said.

'Whatever It was just a one-time thing, It probably won't even happen again,' I think to myself as me and Garble make our way to our mother thus ending another day at Volcanic Caves.
