31_days challenge. The prompt was: Dragonfire and brimstone
"So, newsflash, dragons are real," Dash says casually, dropping into the empty seat beside Marshall at the World o' Stuff's ice-cream counter. There are ragged holes burned into his coat and part of his hair is singed and smoking, but he's grinning a cat-that-got-the-canary grin and cradling a laden backpack in his lap.
As it turns out, a cat-that-got-the-fire-breathing-flying-reptile grin might have been a more accurate description, because what's in the backpack is a dragon's egg. Dash plans on selling it to the Museum of Unnatural History in Normal, Illinois, has already negotiated his finder's fee, when the mother dragon shows up looking for her missing egg.
Half of Eerie burns. By the time they lure the mother dragon out over Lake Eerie, where her furious screams irritate the giant squid that lives there into starting a pitched surface-to-air battle right out of an episode of Nightmare Neighbours, Mars is pretty sure the fortune cookie at the Dragon of the Black Pool restaurant lied to him about living to tell the tale.
Eventually, Simon hits on the idea of putting the dragon egg in a boat and shoving it out onto the water. The mother dragon breaks off her no-holds-barred throwdown with the giant squid, picks up her offspring, and flies off towards a mountain range that don't appear on any map of Eerie the boys have been able to find.
"You're an idiot," Marshall tells Dash later. Dash actually looks a little hurt.
"I was gonna let you experiment on it," he says.
Mars puts his face in his hands and groans.
