The Dragon and the Phantoms

SOME WORDS IN ADVANCE: This is an unfinished story I made last year. I'll only finish it if enough people enjoy it. Also, sorry it has only 1 chapter, and that it's a long chapter. Also, I'm new to page making so I'm awful at editing (and no pictures, sorry)

Chapter 1
It was a normal day in the life of Giraffe the dragon. He was sitting up by the lava on the volcano that most Jammers refer to as ‘Greely’s Volcano’ since one may able to find something of his there from time to time. Giraffe began recalling the rumors he heard about the phantoms spreading. That recently, Jammers have been mysteriously vanishing, with traces of phantoms where they were last spotted. Though, unlike the unfortunate Jammers, Giraffe was a dragon. Phantoms didn’t scare him, at least, not that much. Suddenly, he heard something behind him. He looked around, but saw nothing. He knew at that point he was being watched. Giraffe heard another noise, this time closer to him. The creature was coming for him, though he did nothing. Until,

“OK Star, you can come out now! I know it’s you.”

“Aww, I thought for sure I’d get you this time.”

Came a voice from behind him.

“Star, you’re much too predictable. Every time I hear some creature making noise behind me, I automatically know it’s you.”

Giraffe said to the newcomer, who was known as Star. Star rolled his eyes at giraffe and then snorted

“But what if it wasn’t me? I’m only trying to get you ready in case the phantoms come for you!”

Giraffe snickered a little at what the seal had said.

“You really think I, of all residents of Jamaa, am not ready for a phantom attack? I’m a dragon, for Mira’s sake!”

Star did not respond to that. Instead, he just flopped over to Giraffe and sat beside him.

“How can you stand this heat?”

Star said after sitting by the lava for 30 seconds. Giraffe gave him a look that said Isn’t it obvious? Star sighed and backed away from the lava.

After a while, Giraffe stood up and stretched his wings.

“I’d best return home to Baby Dragon now.”

he said while turning towards Balloosh, which was around where his den was located. “Mind if I join you?”

Star said while putting on a crappy-looking beat up jetpack.

“Star, are you sure you’re going to make it with THAT thing? Remember what happened last time?” “Yeah, I know. But I fixed it up, plus I practiced some more.”

Giraffe rolled his eyes. Star was being ridiculous again, but he couldn’t do anything about it.

“OK then, let’s go.”

Giraffe said, while opening his wings to full length. Star turned on the jetpack, which was extremely loud. Giraffe then flapped his wings and took off, Star not far behind him. Star was actually doing fine on his jetpack, but Giraffe was still ready incase something went wrong.

Little did the two friends know, the noise of Star’s jetpack got them some unwanted attention. Thorn, the Arctic fox who was raised by phantoms, was finally able to find the pair, and he silently followed them through the overgrowth.

Eventually, the two unlikely friends made it back to Giraffe’s den. Giraffe was pleasantly surprised that Star’s jetpack did not spiral out of control during the flight. Maybe he has finally gotten the hang of it.
