"Dragon to Tania report, There is no sign of activity here think I need to move near you."
Tania :"Yes I have seen the village,and this is like a nuclear blast. Can you do that also?"
"Yes, and more but Tania, if you are on a wood ship in the middle of the ocean, do you play with matches? no this is the same for me and I was human before. I have maybe the body of a monster but it doesn't make me a monster. You see, I am not in love but I like you as a friend"
Tania: "Thank you"
"I'll make my lair in Babinavichy around 40 km from the Azintorf town who was ravaged by flames. I suspect the next one will be Liozna or Zubki. They are all strategic points to transport equipment and troops for helping a maidan or a revolution. If animals do the job of military Nato or ONU can't do nothing. They sure have a backup."
Tania, on the phone :"You are right. I will join you at your lair"
me: "Ah if you can purchase some strong vodka it would be good! and some sweets to banish blood taste in my mouth"
Tania: "you are incorrigible! ok I'll take what i can"
See you in 2 days.
Ok now i pack all my stuff and store it in the lab and I let the meat in the salt under rock. They can be stored a year like that and the meat will be extremely tasty when they are dry . I can in the future chop it like bacon slices and use them as condiment.
So after all is sealed and packed, I go on the top of the hil and make a loud GRROOOAAR to prevent the prey I'll come back for sure.
Then I go to the scientist camp. FLAP FLAP FLAP and I land near their van and I look for some sweets or things as a snack before traveling. I always need a snack before traveling. Don't ask me why but this is my way of enjoying the move.
It's like for me to be in a restaurant train and looking the landscape eating a sweet, or icecream and a drink. Or enjoy a cup of coffee. YEs coffee, I need coffee.
They sure have.
YEs there is a coffee thermo there near their fire camp.
The 5 peoples are afraid and the 4 scientist are behind the ranger who has a dart gun and a revolver.
I look at them eyes in eyes and I make with my tongue a slurp showing I am hungry.
"Look, he is hungry, It is very dangerous! cover yourself with hydroalcohol gel, cover your skin with it, reptiles can't bear this odor. We'll have a chance with that !"
Then I see the 5 people putting a get of ultrasonic gel pregnant women put on their belly for the scan of baby. This is a laughing scene.
HAHAHAHA
I Snort and squeak of laugh. they are killing me and I roll on the side mouth open seeing the scientist full of blue gel. They looks like blue smurfs now.
Scientist: "I think he is laughing at us!"
I approach them and I seize the alcohol gel and pour it in my mouth then firebreath on the campfire.
FFFFFFFLLLLLLLAAAAAAMMM
Squirt, Laught Chirp
HAHAHA.
Then I got serious and look at them.
Scientist :" It does no effect : look he has burned the alcohol and we are at his mercy. Running now is impossible."
The Ranger move to take his rifle and Instantly I growl. looking at him.
He stops to move and release the rifle. sweating.
I stop growling.
Then I brusquely turn my head to the female scientist chief.
She move to reach the camera aside the rifle. Then she moves near the rifle and I show teeth.
She stop and goes for the camera and I let do.
Chief: "The dragon recognize weapons, it is extremely intelligent! make only slow movements.
I sit and whine to let them relax.
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Then the chief says :" let's make an experience. bring some foods and place on the table as we had planned to do previuously."
Then they place a chicken roasted on the table, a living chicken, a bowl of fruits, bread, bloody meat, various plants and water and food you found in zoo like dog food, animal granulate, proteins and vegetable dryed food, canned food.
I look and approach the coffee machine. I place my snout on the thermos and squirt showing the coffee.
Chief :" Coffee? animals hate this! let's try"
She takes a bowl and pour coffee inside. and let it on the table.
I am now at the table and I grab the bowl without spilling the content and drink all the coffee in one gulp.
I show them the bowl to ask more.
They execute very surprized.
Chef :it is at least more intelligent as monkeys. This is a big discovery!
Now the meat . I look for the chocolate and bread. I show with my snout the sweets. They open some chocolate bars and I gulp them happily.
Then she try to approach me saying :" don't bite me please, I just want to pet you!"
Then she hesitantly touch my snout and I lick her hand then her head. I purr to make them confident.
All relaxes.
"Now good good dragon"
They are friendly!
Then I look on the side and take the roasted chicken and ignore the rest.
"So they prefer sophisticated food"
Lets make an other test
Symbols and objects
They place a ball in front of me. I grab it and throw to her.
Then she takes a paper with a picture of the ball
I show the ball with my claw.
Then she show a picture of a car, not the same as the car they have.
I ignore and show coke.
"You want coke?"
I whine.
She show me a can and open the latch then gulp the content.
Then she drop a can to me but I try to take it and I pierce with my claw the can and it is instantly gulped. more are coming and I successfully opened at least the latch.
Chief, the dragon has good imitation intelligence. It can be trained.
Let's test a mirror.
Then the 3 assistants comes with mirror and place it in front of me to see my reaction.
I look at my face and see some skin peeling and I use the mirror to make me clean.
"incredible, all animals will fight or push on the mirror and the most intelligent will go see behind."
"It shows intelligence."
Now lets try something more complex, forms
They takes a toy with forms to empile, square on square and round in round
Test ok
Then they place a puzzle.
done
Then music. and with the good results, a chocolate as recompense.
Then I go away and take off. FLAP FLAP FLAP.
I go back to my lair and take some skins and a boar I had previously skinned and cleaned and put on a wood stick.
I comes back to the surprise of the scientist and I drop the skins and boar.
Then I show the chocolate, beer and coffee and give them the skin to make a exchange, a troc.
The scientist fall on her back and show the movement to exchange and I agree
They put a bag and place the content inside and I let the skins and boar there.
then I flap and go to my destination, a bag full of snacks to Belarus.
Chef: "have you filmed? This is incredible. this species is able to do the basic of trade.
This means the dragon is sentient and exchange and communication is possible. This is the biggest discovery of modern zoology.
I am sure it can learn writing and calculations. the brain must be bigger than humans.
this species must be protected at all costs.
It is not aggressive toward humans and I had the impression to have a people in front of me than a beast.
Do you see how it has taken the bowl? and how asking for more, showing dimensions and objects. It recognize also symbols and pictures. it has the same capacity as a human.!
We have to make a report to the press."

ERR NEWS TV :
IMPORTANT NEWS : FIRST HUMAN-WYRM CONTACT CONFIRMED
Journalist : "Professor Katrin, you are currently observing the Wyrm spotted recently in the south. What have you discovered?"
Katrin :" First this creature is intelligent, strong and not to take lightly.
She can cut logs and metal like paper and it is able to breath fire. Not a Lizard but a true dragon.
It has emotions and the humans are not his prey. It can interact with humans and protect them.
Here is an example of footage of the dragon saving a tourist dying in a swamp. The victim was drowning and called for help and the dragon comes to her rescue. She has touched it to thank the dragon and it seemed to understand like a sentient being."
Journalist :"Incredible, so you tell us this creature is able to have altruism and compassion?"
Katrin :" Absolutely, and the dragon know we were filming in secret and found us easily.
He was laughing at us when we covered ourselves with hydro-gel, a natural repellent against reptile bites.
Here is the sequence. If we don't show it, nobody can thrust us.
Journalist :"No, it's not true, I will have laughed also seeing you covered in blue putty!"
HAHAHA (group)
Journalist :"Seriously what makes you think this is a discovery ? Primates and dogs can have these behaviors !?"
Katrin :"No, It recognise symbols and equipment, is able to use tools like a bowl without spilling and placing it again correctly on the table. It has shown interest in complex type of food like snacks and beer and the most incredible is the nod and acoustic answer on sophisticated questions. More, it made a basic trade exchange between skins and meat cleaned from hunting against products like beer, coffee and chocolate, in fact products it can't find in the nature.
It is basic exchange and then it can be trained and educated like a human."
Journalist:" So you mean the wyverns and dragons are sentient creatures able to trade with humans and have their own culture?"
Katrin: "Absolutely"
Journalist: "Do you think this can be a danger for the population?"
Katrin :" Yes and no, but in the long terms, depending the number and reproduction rate as the pressure on the environment, they will be able to compete us or to integrate with us. This is a one chance opportunity to expand humanity to more species. This is the greatest discovery of all times!"
Journalist : "To conclude, do we have to fear it or no?"
Katrin :" I would say no as it has not showed violence toward us. I think this creature is living like our ancestors by hunting and trading. The flame are probably used to sanitize the meat and keep germs away as a mechanism of defense and intimidation.
Journalist: "Thank you professor Katrin. this will conclude our reportage on the discovery of a sentient creature".
Sport ..... Meteo....
