H.I.S. 50

*Scarlet point of view*

It's the second day of the dragon-riding competition, and I'm already feeling so bored.

"When I heard 'dragon-riding competition,' I thought we'd be racing through the skies on our dragons," I say to Micah.

"For real," Micah nods. "That's what I thought too."

"Right? But instead, here we are, wandering through Monster Forest looking for some random gem," I say, sighing.

She shrugs. "Guess they wanted to make it... more challenging?"

I roll my eyes. "I mean, I get it, but I didn't sign up for a treasure hunt with monsters lurking around every corner."

Micah chuckles, nudging my arm. "At least it keeps things interesting. Besides, didn't you say you wanted to see all the rare creatures out here?"
