“Nana used to say before the sheriffs took her and Papa, that there were dragons once, and the other children would laugh”,the boy reminisced.
Kira kicked shadows as he thought about the viking king turned christian who had taken his family. He drew an old oak limb like a sword and began, “King Bluetooth your presence is required in hell.”
Kira flew around the imaginary battlefield, like he was slaying the viking king’s royal guard with the swiftness of Yojimbo.
“Now it is your time to realize the old ways were the real ways.”
Kira swung his stick and lost his balance, tumbling on his back.
“Oh don’t kill me Bluetooth. Oh you didn’t know dragons were real huh? turn around and face the instrument of your destruction.”
Kira speaks in high pitch voice supposed to be bluetooth’s
” Oh no. Dragons aren’t real please i peed my pants let me live.”
Then he saw a a small corn snake.
“Score!! Now you will eat good tonight.”

    Cute. I can picture this. Of course, not many kids actually get out and “make believe” any more. Great addition. I’d love to see this one grow.

    so is this supposed to be the same boy out looking for food for the dragon? I assume the snake is dinner. Maybe now he is playing war, but in the future…..

    I just pictured the hero a little older, a teenager, awkward, and Kira seems younger in his play. But that’s just me! I can work with this, heh.

    I’m with Mistress. I totally expected the hero to be older, and female. So I think Kira may actually be a younger brother, or even the son of the hero who was with the dragon earlier.
    In any case, the descriptions of his play were well done. I could see myself doing this same thing a quarter of a century ago.

    I have a tendency to think of characters as the same gender as the author too! But I totally meant for the dragon to be found and hatched by a male. :)

    I do that, think of characters as the same gender as the author, so, like John, I picuted Kira as a younger brother or son.

    beatutiful twist on the identity of the main character it will really keep me guessing throughout the story, i like how the dialogue really humanizes typically epic characters, thererfore making me identify with them as if they were something out of my own life. keep writing, now im hooked.
