I quickly hid behind a nearby tree, my heart pounding in my "chest" (if I had one). Dragons were known to be fierce creatures, capable of incinerating anything in their path with their fiery breath. As I peeked out from behind the tree, I saw a massive dragon approaching. Its scales shimmered in the sunlight, and its eyes glowed like embers. I knew I had to be careful. If the dragon spotted me, I would be toast. Literally. I held my breath and waited as the dragon sniffed around, searching for something. Suddenly, my heart sank as the dragon let out a deep roar and turned its head towards my direction. I could feel its piercing gaze upon me, and I knew I had to act fast. Without thinking, I dashed out from my hiding spot and ran as fast as I could, hoping to outrun the dragon. But it was no use. The dragon let out another roar, and with one swift motion of its tail, it knocked me off my feet. I tumbled through the air, bracing myself for the impact of the ground. But to my surprise, I landed on something soft and squishy. Looking up, I saw a familiar face. It was none other than Cupa, the human who I had ditched a few days ago. He had somehow managed to tame the dragon, and it was now under his control. "Cupa," I gasped, still in shock. "How did you do it?" Cupa smiled and patted the dragon on the head. "I spent a lot of time with him, and earned his trust. He's not so scary once you get to know him." I looked at the dragon cautiously, still unsure if it was safe to be around. But as I watched Cupa and the dragon interact, I realized that maybe humans weren't so bad after all. Maybe, just maybe, I had misjudged them all along.
