Close to humans

"I am teaching you two a lesson, so next time you will remember me first before going on missions." Deacon stated coldly, and Ralph tossed the bag of meat in the air and Deacon burned it. And then he stopped screaming.

"NO!! he yelled.

"So will you stop now that your food is gone?" Ralph asked, looking at Deacon, who was staring at the ashes of the meat as it disintegrated into the air.

"You are so cruel." Deacon said, breathing out fire from his nostrils  

"I just wanted to calm you down, I will get you another meat." Ralph said and disappeared.

"What are you staring at." Deacon said to Lucinda, who smiled broadly at him.

"We are sorry Deacon." she apologized

"Leave me alone. You guys don’t care about my feelings because I am a dragon. Do you think being a dragon is cool?" he asked, and she walked closer to him and stroked him firmly, feeling his smooth body.

"I don’t know if its cool or not but trust me I know how you feel." she said

"No you don't," he stated, and she stared at him.

"I wish I could walk once again on my human feet, ,feel my human skin and eat with my human hand. Sometimes when Ralph abandons me to look for sapphire, I get angry. Sometimes when Ralph abandons me to look for sapphire, it is because he has been looking for sapphire since he was 15 years old and has made no progress; what makes him think this time will be different? I know how cunning Lucifer can be; he can't let a sapphire slip through his fingers, and Ralph is just like his puppet. " Deacon stated.

"I know how you feel. Don’t worry, we will still try. There is no harm in trying. We even found a sapphire today, but if we get it, it will cost us our lives. Can you see these tiny marks on my body? This is the sacrifice we made to get the sapphire. I think Ralph loves you and whatever he is doing is for you. " She said, giving him an awe-inspiring smile.

"Thank you, Lucinda." I feel good talking to you." he said, and she smiled widely at him once more.

"That doesn’t mean you will try to burn me alive again." she stated, and he laughed in a loud and echoing voice.

 Ralph approached them with a new bag and dropped it in front of Deacon.

"Now eat up. I'm sorry for burning your food." Ralph said, giving him an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry for getting angry." Deacon declared and Ralph smiled at him, exposing his beautiful set of teeth.

"Let’s go Lucinda." he said and she held her head roughly, striving to fall, and he grasped her waist to support her.  

"Lucinda I feel you are getting too close to these humans. I'm afraid you won’t be able to kill him in the end. " Lucifer stated, pinning Lucinda to a spot; it was as if she wasn’t in control of her own body. And Ralph called out to her freed her from the bondage.
