Chapter 29: Dragons

A shadow falls on our partially constructed wooden home as Finn's character places another corner block. I step out from the tree I was cutting down and move my controls to survey the sky. Overhead, a dragon circles our area, and his dark green outstretched wings shadow those beneath him. A puff of fire shoots from his nose and the noise of burning embers sounds from my television.

Finn ignores the creature and continues to place blocks on our makeshift house. I turn my head back to him. "Um, Finn. Should we be concerned with the big dragon?"

His fingers continue to tap buttons on the controller. "No, dragons make a circular flight pattern and pass each player on a thirty minute rotation. They won't engage unless hit first or if the establishment is a level four or higher and hasn't had destruction within fifty-two game hours."
