My Pet Of Fire

By Christina

If my Mom would ever let me have a new pet, I would choose a dragon. Many people believe dragons are extinct, and others believe dragons are just imaginary. I think dragons are exotic and just have hid their faces from the human race, fearing extinction. I even found some proof dragons are real.
In the Huachuca desert, Arizona, on April 26, 1890, a real flying dragon was found. It was found by two ranchers, who were attacked. They shot the beast and wounded it, but it almost immediately died of starvation. The ranchers examined it. From wingtip to wingtip, the total length was about 160 feet. The wings had an almost transparent skin, free of feathers, as was the rest of the body. The head itself was eight feet long, and its eyes were as large as a dinner plate and stuck out halfway from the body. It's whole skin was smooth and could be easily penetrated by a bullet. Also, the bible talks about dragons a lot. ( In King James version, look up Deuteronomy 32:33, Nehemiah 2:13, Job 30:29, Psalm 44:19, Psalm 74:13, Psalm 91:13, Psalm 148:7, Isaiah 13:22, Isaiah 14:29, Isaiah 27:1, Isaiah 30:6, Isaiah 34:13, Isaiah 35:7, Isaiah 43:20, Isaiah 51:9, Jeremiah 9:11, Jeremiah 10:22, Jeremiah 14:6, Jeremiah 49:33, Jeremiah 51:34, Jeremiah 51:37, Ezekiel 29:3, Micah 1:8, and Malachi 1:3.)

Why would I want a dragon for a pet? Many people think dragons are evil and lust for gold. I think there are some good dragons and evil dragons, and good dragons are the protectors of our universe, a shield against evil. But I wouldn't want a dragon for a protector, just a companion. I would have a bond with my dragon, a lot like a partner, but deeper. I believe dragons are intelligent, and can both speak and mindspeak. I also believe dragons can breath fire.

Now, onto what my dragon would look like. It would have four legs, leathery wings, scaly body. The dragon will be huge, with spikes rippling from the head to the base of the tail, with one flat spike at the end. On the dragon's base of the neck will have one spike missing. The gap is large enough to sit on comfortably. My dragon will be able to live until she is killed, and so will I. With a dragon, I wouldn't need a car, and I can avoid traffic jams, street lights, and school zones. My dragon will have three sharp claws on each foot. The hind legs will bend forward, then backward. The scales will be bright blue, and the chest a deep scarlet. The horns are scarlet also. Some good names I thought of would be Hartanna, Thigocia, Sapphira, and Roxil. If I ever got a dragon, that's what I would want.
