Sunlight filtered through the cloudy sky, as the cloudy-blue dragon landed his claws down on the grass land below, flapping his wings slowly as he brought his whole body down to the ground with a deafening thump. His scales gleamed in the light, and he scratched st thr ground underneath him. The dragon across from him snarled, baring his grimy teeth. His scales were off-white, smudged by a deep grey, and the light from the setting sun cast a shadow of him twice his size. His silhouette stood straight, and his tail whipped from side to side.

“So you’ve finally decided. You’ll fight me.”

“Well, I’m only fighting you because you’re in the way, Sulphur.” he growled. Lunging, he swiped his claws across Sulphur’s neck, and blood bubbled down his neck. The cut wasn’t deep, but he howled in pain.

“What’s gotten into you Gossamer?!”

“I said you’re in my way! Now get out of it!” Sulphur grinned, and flared his wings.

“If it’s her you’re after, you’ll have to go through me whether you like it or not. So come on, I’m ready!” Sulphur beat his wings hard and lifted himself into the air, and launched himself at Gossamer, pulling back his arm to strike. Gossamer leaped out of the way, narrowly missing Sulphurs claws.

“Come on you can tell me!” he laughed, launching himself at Gossamer once again. He slammed down on him, pressing his claws on his neck, nearly drawing blood. He smiled and put his head down.

“I promise I won’t tell!” he whispered, leaning in Gossamers ear. He pressed down on Gossamers neck, and he gasped violently.

“Tell, me. I like her too you know...” Sulphur said, releasing his grip. He slowly backed away, and Gossamer got up.

“Fine. I like her. I won’t let you near her if you’re willing to kill me for her though...”
