My wings are shivering,

If you read this, you will say I am real.

But I am not.

     Please do not read this. . . .

    I can breath fire on you if you exist.

     Ten blue tenacles were around Lussy.   Lussy screamed as the 

monster stepped on her tail.   I knew that monster!    He was 

Dr. Onglam.   Lussy was trying to breath fire, but her body did nothing.

     I had to save her.   My tail curled up with my lips.   Fire whizzed out of 

my mouth along with a roar.   Dr. Onglam looked at me. 

     "Ah, Horgan.   You here to be Lussy's hero?  

You can't even fly!"   Dr. Onglam snickered.  

      "That snakegon baby cannot be picked on!  

I will immediately stop you!"   I growled, fiercely 

thrashing my tail.

      "HELP!"   Lussy cried loudly as one of the tentacles picked her up.

      "I can too fly."   I said, circling Dr. Onglam.   

      "Really?"   he said, pushing a button.  

      His side was lifting up.   I couldn't jump.   I had to fly.   I set my wings.

      "Horgan, you have to fly!"   Lussy screamed.

      "I will!"   I said.                

     Flaps of wing beats filled the air.   Lots of 

bravery filled my heart.   I took a breath.   I jumped.  

I didn't make it, but one claw was hanging on.   I 

flapped my wings wildly, blowing air in my face.   Lussy 

screamed.

     All of the sudden my claw slipped.   I tried flying 

but my right wing went numb.   I fell down.   I closed my 

eyes.   I snored.

     I woke up.   So many rocks.   A blast of wind knocked 

me over.   My snakegon body lay on its side.   A shadow 

cast over me.

     "Ow!"   I winced, putting my claws roughly on a sharp rock. 

     The shadow spoke.   "I'm glad you stopped by,"   it said.

Dr. Onglam stepped out of the shadow.  

     "So brave of you to save Lussy."   Dr. Onglam sneered.

     I made fun of him.    "Is the Dr. in?"  

I asked, eying him.

     He grunted.   "NO!    GET OUT!"

     Poor me.   I walked outside.  

I didn't save Lussy.   I failed her.

     Lussy popped up next to me.   "Bad," she said snarling away.   So much 

for trying to save Lussy.

     I thought for a moment.   I needed to practice flying.   "I will be 

unstoppable if I can teach myself,"   I said aloud.   I ran to a blue-green 

seaweed cave.

     Inside was a Seaweed Dragon. I forget her name.   Sorry.   My long 

tail snuck in.   "Uh, Hello?" I asked the darkness.

     A green dragon stepped out.   "Yes?"   she 

asked.   She had blue eyes and beautiful wings.  

Her tail swished.   Legs were sticking out by her tail.

     I looked down.   My feet were on my tail. 

 "I'm Horgan,"   I said, blushing.  

     "Oh, hello, Horgan.   I'm Breeze Shimmer. 

You may call me Breezy,"   said Breeze Shimmer.

"What do you want?"

     "I want to learn how to fly,"   I said 

with my nicest tone.   "I can only jump. "

     Breeze Shimmer shook her head gently   "Do 

you flap your wings?"

     "Yes.   I try.   I'm too busy thinking about 

getting away,"   I said.

     Squinting, Breezy said, "Flap your wings for 

me."

     So I did.

     "Do this thousands of times until you lift off 

the ground.   Then, soar!"   Breezy exclaimed.

     I flapped my wings at the same beat. 

     I did this millions of times until I felt bored.   I thought about giving up 

until my feet lifted off the ground.   SO AMAZING!   I thought I was floating 

but I realized I was flying!   "WOW!"   I said.   I searched for words but I was 

too amazed.

     "Congrats.   You can fly, Horgan."  

Breezy said brushing her wings 

against my tail.  

     With a thud, I landed.

     "Thank you,"   Breezy said.

     "No, thank you, Breeze Shimmer,"  

I said flying away.

     Air welcomed me to the sky.   The sky ate me up with love and breeze.  

For a minute, I stopped flapping my wings.   I soared through the sky.   What 

scared me was the height.   I was up about 100 feet.   But I liked that I could 

see far away.   "Love is air."   I thought.   "Air is love."   I thought these 

thoughts over until it made sense to me.

     To defeat Dr. Onglam I had to introduce him to air.   He breathes water.  

That is why he carries a waterhatchet with him.   Or, I could take away his 

waterhatchet.   I thought and thought.   I needed to take away his 

waterhatchet.   Ya!

     I flew to my cave.   Lussy and Molly were there.

     "Where were you?"   Molly asked, like she was my mom.

     "I was learning how to fly.   Breeze Shimmer taught me,"   I said.

     "I could have taught you.   I'm a teen," 

Molly said acting like she was my mom again.

     "Horgan almost saved me,"   Lussy 

whispered.

     "Good for you." Molly said.  

(Molly always acts like she did it.)  

"I could have saved Lussy," Molly said.

     I had enough of Molly.   "Well, I'm 

the one who did it."   I said.   Molly stormed 

out of the cave.

     I looked at Lussy.   "You're my hero," 

she said walking out of the cave.   I knew 

I had to run away.   I set my wings.

     With a flap I was off.   I flew 

to Dr. Onglam's fortress.   If I 

could defeat him, I could live there.

     A red-blue dragon flew next to me.  

"Ah, a Snakegon.   Rare species," he said. 

"I'm named Glop.   Your name?"   Glop asked.

     I gulped.   "Horgan the Snakegon.   I'm taking down 

Dr. Onglam today," I said.

     Glop looked at me and 

flew away.

     From where I was 

I could see Dr. Onglam's lair. 

"Love is air!" I shouted,  

charging into his lair.

     Windows shattered as I landed.   Dr. Onglam 

was in shock.   "You!   You broke into my lair.   I will 

pick you up!"   he said.

     I growled.   "You don't scare me anymore,

Dr. Onglam!"   I said spitting roars of fire.

     Dr. Onglam stepped back.   He looked at me.   He pressed his button.  

His side rose.   I knew I could do it.   I jumped.   Flapping my wings 

dozens of times, I lifted above the ground.

     I made it!   I gave Dr. Onglam a punch in 

the face and a blast of fire.   He tried to 

drink some water from his waterhatchet.   I 

kept blowing my fire. 

     Dr. Onglam burst into ashes.   I looked at the pile.   My 

fire no longer came out of my mouth.   I did it.   I defeated 

Dr. Onglam.   Ashes surrounded his waterhatchet and the 

glass.

     A smile streaked across my face.   I thought 

how powerful dragons are, but snakegons are 

far more powerful.   I spit some poison on the pile 

of ashes. 

     I left his lair.   As much as I hated 

Dr. Onglam I was happy he was gone.   I 

thought about living there, but with 

the ashes and broken windows I'd 

rather find a cave.   I set my wings and 

flew off to find a new cave.
