Aznurr curled his long slender tail around the crystal. He leaned forward and gently brushed a talon on the crystal. Its could exterior and shine made him shudder with anticipation. He couldn't believe that he was the first to discover this beauty.
Once Gro'vin had passed, no one knew of his treasures. It had only been a few days since his death. Aznurr had been hit with sadness but the old dragon's death had only made him more mischievous. He wanted to seek the finest of gold and gems. All for himself to drool over. It was only a matter of time until he became the sliest conniving dragon around. He might not have brute strength but he had the intelligence of a well-educated human. At least he believed he did.
A mighty roar rang outside and echoed into the old Dragon's cave. Aznurr tensed up and poked his head out of the cave. He sniffed the air and froze. Dargash was near and he was certain he could smell him.
Panic surged through the jade dragon's body. He whirled around and eyed the crystal. No! He couldn't give it up. He would die trying...unless?
A rather odd idea popped into his head. He knew on thing Dargash wasn't good at. Tricking his foes.
The sound of heavy wing beats caught his attention and he sighs. Aznurr bows his head as a rather large dusty brown dragon enters the cave. He looks up and gulps. If his plan failed he would have to climb the ranks of victory again. Dargash snarls and he slams his paws onto Aznurr, digging his talons into his head.
Dargash was a bulky and large dragon. His dusty colored scales resembled the desert he had migrated from. He has long thick and curly horns like a ram. His powerful red eyes could make even the strongest of forest dragons bow down. He was not a force to be reckoned with.
Aznurr snorts but holds his ground as the larger dragon barely crushes his skull.

"Ah so you decided to find old Gro'vin's crystal now, haven't you? Such a shame your discovery will end now!" Dargash snarls. His deep baritone voice made Aznurr shiver.
"Of course not! I was saving this beauty for you. The one and only Dragash. The most powerful invader of them all" The smaller dragon purred, bowing his head.

Dragash snorts and brushes past Anzurr, not giving him a second glance. Aznurr crept past him and positioned himself a few inches away from the large bruting dragon. He curled his tail around a broken stone. It was just sharp enough to possibly slice through a dragon's soft neck. When observing the desert dragon, Aznurr knew his neck wasn't as hard as his hide. It was just vulnerable enough to slice through.
After a few minutes of the larger dragon mumbling to himself, Aznurr cleared his throat. Dargash growled and turned his head. "What do you want-" without a word, Aznurr slices the stone across his neck with a quick swipe. Blood gushes out of his wound and he stumbles back. He roared and lunged towards the smaller dragon. Dargash raked his talons across Aznurr's face.
Aznurr growled as blood trickled down his face. With a swift jab, he pushes Dargash to the ground. The two dragons wrestled on the ground and Aznurr wrapped his jaws around Dargash's throat. He sank his jaws tightly around his throat and Dargash unleased a gurgling roar. Aznurr bit down harder and raised the desert dragon's head up. He slammed his head into a wall and held him there.
Dargash raked his back talons into his thighs, attempting to break his hold. With a final attack, Aznurr leaked an odd purple liquid into his wound. He let go and Dargash screeched. "IT BURNS! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME!" He roared in pain. Aznurr smirked and staggered to his feet. "A little gift I'd like to call, venomous spit" he hissed.
The larger dragon continued to roar in agony as the venom bubbled and stung him. Dargash dropped to the ground and curled up into a ball. His eyes watered and his body twitched. After a few minutes, the light of his eyes was no more and with a final croak, his body went limp.
Aznurr smirked in triumph and grasped his talons around the crystal.

Anzurr dragged the crystal up the hill. He finally arrived at the top and huffed. Besides a large twisted tree sat the most beautiful dragon he had ever seen.
The dragon turned her head and her golden eyes flashed with curiosity. Her light blue scales and translucent wings made Anzurr purr with delight. She was a sight to see.
"Who might you be?" She asked, inching closer to him.

"I am Aznurr. Who are you?"

Aznurr wraps his tail around his talons and places the large crystal in front of her. The female dragon gasps and gently brushes her talons on it. "What is this? Where did you get it?" She asked, gazing up at him.
He bows his head. "I fought very diligently for this prize, my love. Now, what is your name?" He purred once more.
The female dragon narrowed her eyes and hesitated. She took her talons off the crystal and turned her back to him. She stuck her tail out awaiting his. Aznurr gave her a toothy grin and wrapped his tail around hers. Their tails intertwined and both dragons roared to the sky.
She looked back at him and her eyes gleamed. "I am Olanda. Now we are Wing-Mates" she answered, sniffing him. Aznurr smiled and nuzzled her. "I couldn't be happier. After all, you are my treasure."
