The Bond (Noah Day 3)

The storm starts to clear and I wipe my eyes removing any water, yet the rain continues falling, and I don't really know where I'm going or what I'm doing, but I see a wyvern on the ground, and I start walking over towards it, but I stop when I get nearly too close. It snarls at me, and I stop moving. I stare it at and ponder for a moment trying to really grasp and understand what I need to do. I keep looking at it and showing it my hands as if to say, I'm not a threat, I don't want to hurt you. I want to be your friend.

I look at the emerald color of it, and I smile from ear to ear. His wings are yellowish orange, and they slowly become more green the closer to his body it gets. I look into his orange eyes. I'm a friend. I want to say, but I hold it back. I get close and it snarls at me, and in that moment, I want to run away, but right now I need to show it that I'm not afraid. I don't think he'll hurt me. I take a steady breath, and I hold out my hand. I try to keep myself from trembling, and I do the best I can, but it is tough. This wyvern could eat me as a snack, but I refuse to back down.

I take another deep breath and stand there as it snarls at me, and slowly reach my hand towards it. I inch slowly closer and closer, and I can feel the heat from its breath on my hand. It's okay. I'm a friend. I maintain eye contact, and I eventually touch its snout, and everything fades away. I slowly move closer to it, and I give it a hug, and as I hug it, I feel the bond forming. "See? I'm a friend." I gently pet him, and I smile from ear to ear feeling incredibly excited about what's happened. I get the sudden urge to ride the wyvern, and I know it's dangerous, but maybe he'll be a friend and keep me holding on. "I must be mad!" But I only live once, so I might as well try.
