Kari

If it's not very good it's because it's a bit old. Probably gonna rewrite this at some point.

"Hey Kari come on let's have some fun."

"Haha, coming!"

Such playful dragons, running around and having fun. Not so young, but yet so naive, almost oblivious to the dangers of the world as they chase each other around.

"Hey! wait for me!"

"Catch up, Rall! You're slow, come on, pick up the pace!"

"Don't be so mean Rhonwen! Come on, let's all just have some fun"

They laugh and play all day, everyday, without a care in the world, but today is a different day.

"Hey! oh I'm gonna get you!"

It lurks in the shadows, a beast as dark as night, it stalks them, waiting to strike.

"Catch me if you can! Haha!"

As time goes on, more beasts come, flocking together like birds. They stalk the naive little dragons as they play, carefree. Ignorance is bliss, but for how long?

"Aaa why are you so fast?!"

"Nah, you're just slow."

"What did you just- no I'm not!"

In their laughter and their fun all sense of direction is gone. They do not pay attention where they are going, they do not know where they have stepped into. And when they do notice, they have already gone deep within the dark forest, and the only things in sight are the tall shoots that make up the dense forest.

"Hey guys, where are you?... Guys..?"

The black beasts follow the lost dragons through the dense forest, and when the dragons are separated, they will strike.

"RAWR!"

"Rhonwen! Don't scare me like that! ..Wait, where's Rall..?"

"I don't know I thought you knew where he was."

"Rall! Rall! Where are you?! Come on, stop playing games! I don't want to get lost in here."

But little did they know the beasts had already taken their friend, turning him into one of their own, and the two lost dragons are next.

"Uh.. How about we go back a-and g-get the adults..?"

"Uh Yeah okay.. I-I think it's uh this way?"

"Okay, come on."

The beasts inch closer as the dragons try to escape the forest. They get closer, and the little dragons hear the footsteps, and they don't stop running, but they're not fast enough.

"Kari!! Help me!"

"Rhonwen! No!"

The little pearlcatcher tries, but ultimately fails, even with her strong magic, she fails to save her friend and the beast turns her into one of them. The survivor finally makes it out of the forest, and runs home, to safety. But home isn't really safe anymore is it?
