"Hello, Mr. Dragon! Are you alright!? I hope I didn't disturb you!"

Since the dragon was pretty huge, I had to shout to make sure my voice reached him. Or her, whichever it is.

The Dragon had popped out of the volcano as soon as I arrived. I was only travelling around looking for anything interesting and from the looks of it, I found it.

It was my first time seeing a dragon so I didn't know what to make out of its facial expressions but the silence that followed my greeting was a bit unnerving. Maybe the Dragon was hostile, or maybe not? Was it looking down on me? I doubt it since I was standing on a Platform high above the ground and higher than the Dragon itself.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Okay, maybe the Dragon is crazy.

It started flapping its wings and its body starting slowly coming out of the lava.

Wait. How can it stay under the lava? Not minding the heat, does it have something like lava gills?

As the Dragon came out the volcano still laughing, I noticed it's body was huge. And I mean HUGE! Probably even bigger than the volcano itself. It was safe to assume that a considerable part of its body was underground when it was inside the lava. Its entire body was also red in color and it had a tail almost as long as its body.

"YOU! DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE SPEAKING TO, MORTAL?"

Seems like the Dragon liked being loud. Good thing I was standing in a great distance, otherwise my eardrums would have burst.

"A Dragon?"

Was that a rhetorical question?

My words were followed by another patch of silence.

Maybe the Dragon brains are slow and require time to process the meaning of one's words.

"You're that unusual magic user that woke me from my slumber once prior." Spoke thus the Dragon, in a lower tone.

Aaaand delusional, wouldn't want to forget adding that to its biography.

"I'm sure you're mistake..."

"QUITE!!!!!"

I inadvertantly cupped my hands over my ears at the loud noise.

"YOU THINK YOU CAN DECIEVE ME, THE GREAT WARPOXONTOK!!!!???"

Obnoxious too. And let's stop at that, cuz I doubt the list will ever end.

"NO ONE HAS EVER DARED TO WAKE ME FROM MY SLUMBER AND LIVED TO TELL ABOUT IT!"

"But you just said that I woke you once befo..." I tried to retort.

"SILENCE!!!!!!!"

With that, the Dragon arched his back as if having an orgasm. What followed next was the spew of some orange stuff. Well its a dragon, so who am I to know of its anatomy, is what I'd have liked it say but what the Dragon launched was fire.

I erected invisible walls all around the platform I was standing on. The walls were just like the Platform, only verticle, that is, made from joining together two gates and completely see-through. Obviously, they didn't let anything except light to pass through, which in this case I should have really thought through. Even though the heat from the flames didn't reach me, it was too bright, just like that time when I tried getting close to the sun.

"HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!?"

The Dragon didn't seem too keen to witnessing me survive its 'mighty' attack and even though I was partially blinded, I could totally see the blank look on its face.

Well actually, I doubt the Dragon could actually see me as I still had the Walls erected and they allowed only one-way passage of light. The side facing the Dragon should be acting as a mirror. Thus, I was led to conclude that the Dragon actually had a way to sense my presence.

As my eyes slowly recovered, I dissolved the walls around me to come face-to-face with the Dragon again.

"You know Mr. Dragon, it is very impolite to attack someone whom you've just met. Also, its bad manners to interrupt when somebody is talking."

"HOW DARE YOU!? I AM THE GREAT WARPOXONTOK!!"

No matter how many times you tell me that stupid name, I'm so not going to remember it.

"YOU AND YOUR DARK MAGIC! I WILL RID YOU FROM THE FACE OF THIS PLANET!!!!"

RRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I erected the walls again and thankfully didn't have to bear through that ridiculously loud roar as all sound was blocked.

After the Dragon finished its long roar, it flapped its wings with great ferocity and intantly accelerated to a high speed. Even though the distance between us was large, the Dragon might have been able to cover it in a matter of seconds.

Soooooo~, I opened a HUGE gate in the path of the Dragon. Due to its superior speed, it wasn't able to apply brakes in time and passed through the gate and as soon as it did, I closed it.

Phew. Where should I go now?

*grumble*

Seems like my tummy gave the answer for me.

So I teleported to a famous restaurant in a kingdom whose name I never cared to remember and ordered some Khao Soi.

Delicious!

Meanwhile at the North Pole..............

*clatter* *clatter*

The clattering of teeth resounded across the region the source of which was all too clear to any inhabitant.

"I...a-a-am....a...f-f-f-fire d-d-d-dragon!...I'm...n-not..m-m-made..t-to...w-w-w-w-with..s-stand..s-such..a..h-h-arsh..c-c-c-climate!"

*clatter* *clatter*

Needless to say, it was a huge red mountain that was producing such clattering sounds.

"G-G-Get off....me...y-y-you...s-s-stupid....p-p-penguins. I a-a-am....the..g-g-g-great..W-W-W-Warpoxontok!"
