Dragon Training
"Get back!"
Cilia threw her paws up in the air and bared her teeth at the dragon that defied her. The size of a large draft horse, he towered over her small stature and swung his long tail defiantly. Sunlight glinted off his green scales and he lowered his head threateningly, smoke curling from his nostrils. A traditional western dragon standing on four legs, he boasted a pair of leathery wings that were currently bound to his back, defying flight that would grant escape. Cilia, the tawny furred coyote, had already had one escapee - thankfully retrieved - within the last month and she certainly was not angling for another. Perhaps she should not have taken the job at the training farm after all.
The dragon tossed his head defiantly and advanced on her, wings strained against the bondage. Coolly, Cilia uncurled the long whip and flicked it out against his side - a training device more commonly used around horses. The very tip of it kissed his scales and sent the dragon scuttling to the side, claws tearing great rifts in the sand. His neck and back spines rattled against one another - a stark, vibrant yellow that told of his poisonous nature, if he ever managed to sink his teeth into another, that was. Don't eat me! The colour screamed.
That did not bother the coyote. Adjusting the hem of her pink shirt so that it fell more comfortably over her stomach, she flicked the whip at his shoulder, encouraging him to walk on. The dragon would have to learn to respond to aids if he was ever going to have any kind of tack upon his back. His tail thumped the sand.
He reared up on his hind legs and clawed at the air, smoke roiling from his nostrils. As he was not one of the fire breathing breeds, Cilia was not intimidated by his display: she had seen it all before. The coyote sighed and pressed a paw to her hot forehead. If he did not behave, it would be the death of him. She could not have mounts on her farm that could not be ridden. Though she would be sad to see the dragon go, he was becoming dangerous. Frowning, she slid her gaze away for a split second. She would not have blood on her paws from the dragon's reckless, rude antics.
Spotting his chance, the dragon lunged for her and she snapped back to reality, leaping backwards to avoid his claws. He huffed and snorted smoke, parting his jaws to show off a threatening row of gleaming, razor-sharp teeth, amused at his own plot. He had very almost had the coyote. Cilia threw her paws in the air, whip snaking out without planned course. The dragon easily avoided it, kicking up sand in the arena, and chuffed softly.
"Jesus Christ, Lancelot!" Cilia snarled and hurled the whip aside.
It hit the fence with a wooden clatter and tumbled to the sand in a flurry of sand, yellow settling back to the ground a few moments later. She pressed her fingers into her eyes, keeping a warier eye on the dragon than before. There was nothing malicious in him, truly, but she tired of his tricks and bursts of fury. He was the reason her last assistant had left the dragon training business, scars mauling the beauty of her equine muzzle forever.
The dragon, Lancelot, moseyed up to her with his muzzle lowered, licking his lips. Bopping her on the arm with his nose, he smiled a draconian grin and flicked his tail. There was no possible way the coyote could stay angry at him, oh no. She pushed his nose away and turned up her nose at his attempts at friendship.
"Lancelot, back the fuck off," she grumbled. "Poking me for treats is not going to get you into my good books again."
He blinked and nuzzled her bicep, a low crooning emerging from his barely parted jaws. She sighed and ran her paw down the arch of his neck, feeling the scales and the definition of each one. The dragon was a spectacular specimen, it had to be said. He could be the ideal mount if only he would respond to training and listen to her. Would he ever? Lancelot rumbled with pleasure, pushing into her touch.
