Meet the Dragons

By Johannah Dutkiewicz

On Saturday Billy, Bonnie, and Professor William left Florida on a plane headed for Tasmania to visit Gunns Plains cave. This is where Billy and Bonnie’s parents live. In order to get there they had to fly over the Atlantic Ocean, the continent of Africa, the Indian Ocean, and the capital of Tasmania, Hobart.

While they were still on the plane, the pilot said to the professor, “Professor what are the GPS coordinates to Gunns Plains Cave, Tasmania?”

“The GPS coordinates are 146°0'19"E, 41°17'45"S.”

“Thanks, Professor.”

When the professor sat back down, Billy asked, “Professor, why did you say that my dad is going to die?”

“Well, it’s because the ruby of life passes on to different dragons. Their fathers give to their sons and they pass it on to their sons. Your dad's father gave the ruby to him and said that if the ruby falls into the wrong hands he will die. Your father was so scared he hid it and let Merlin make a spell that sends the ruby from place to place so it will be hard to find.

"So why do we have to find it if it is always hidden?" asked Billy

"Well, the spell has been broken by the evil witch, Morgan and we don't know where the ruby ended up," said the professor. "So it is important that we find it before the evil creatures, the Watchers, do. Let’s pray that we will find it first.

Suddenly the passengers heard a loud bang and the plane jerked hard to the left. Billy looked outside and saw one of the Watchers attacking the plane. Billy said to the pilot, “We need to land this plane now and fast.”

“I can't, these things just destroyed the control panel and I can't control it.”

“Alright we will jump off the plane instead. Bonnie, can you carry me and the professor down to the ground?”

“Yeah I can.”

Bonnie grabbed Billy and the professor. They jumped off the plane and began to soar through the sky. When they were about to land, they were suddenly surrounded by the Watchers who were trying to hit them with lightning bolts. Suddenly, two dragons appeared blowing fire at the evil ones. They were so scared they flew off.

It was very cold, about 30 degrees, when they finally landed near the cave. Billy said, “Thanks dad and Sabrina.”

“No problem we heard you were coming and we smelled danger so we came to help.” said Drako.

“Please, come inside and we can talk some more in here.” Sabrina said.

When they got inside they noticed that the entrance had a lot of stairs. Billy said, “Professor, why does this cave have stairs but other caves don’t?”

The professor said, “In 1918 Bill Woodhouse found this place and they build these stairs and, as you can see, they are still in good use today.”

When they were almost to the third floor, Bonnie saw the glow worms and cave spiders. Bonnie said, “They look like they glow. Don’t you think so, Billy?”

“I do not think so Bonnie. I think they look sort of like crystals.”

While they were walking, they saw a formation of shawls or curtain- like speleothems which are translucent and have characteristic stripes. They also saw a stream that had many Tasmanian Giant Freshwater Crayfish which are the worlds largest freshwater invertebrate.

When they got to the third floor, Bonnie asked, “Hey guys would you like to help us find the ruby of life before the evil watchers and creatures get it first?”

“Well, alright,” said Drako and Sabrina.

“Great, now we need to go the Dead Sea and see if the ruby is still there.”

“I hope we get there before it goes to a different place.” said Billy.

“Drako and I will give you a flight to the Dead Sea.” said Sabrina

“That sounds great. So, what are we waiting for? Let’s go.” said Bonnie.

So Billy, Bonnie, and Professor William got on the dragons and soared through the sky to the Dead Sea.

The Ruby of life

By superhorse4816

This is a story about a 15 year old boy named Billy who is half human, half dragon and breaths fire. He had a girlfriend named Bonnie who is also half human, half dragon but has wings. One morning, he was eating some pancakes that his mom made. His mom came into the kitchen and said, " Professor William wants you." Professor lives with Billy and his mom and he studies history.

"Thanks mom." Billy went in the room where the professor does his studies. He said, " Billy, I have a mission for you. There is a ruby that brings people back to life and if the ruby falls in to the wrong hands all will be lost and your father will die." Billy's father is a dragon named Drako.

Billy said, "So you want Bonnie, he mother, my dad, and me to find this ruby before the evil witches and other bad creatures get it first?" Bonnie's mother Sabrina is also a dragon.

The professor said, "Yes, if Bonnie, Sabrina, and Drako want to."

"I know Bonnie will do it. So will dad and Sabrina."

"Alrighty then. We will get together at Gunns Plains cave in Australia to see your dad and Bonnie's mother in one week."

Billy went to the phone and called Bonnie and said, "Hi Bonnie."

"Hi Billy."

"Would you like to go on another mission to save the world by rescuing the Ruby of life?"

"Of course I would, but I wonder if mom and Drako will want to help?"

"Of course dad will help, but what about your mom?"

"I think she will help. When are we going to see them?"

"This week on Saturday."

"So we are going to see mom and Drako and to find this ruby of life."

"Yes, but the ruby can move from place to place. It stays at a certain place for two days then it disappears to a different spot like the Dead Sea, Assteague island, the Brahmaputra River, Huon Peninsula, and the Fuego Volcano in Guatemala. Thats what Professor William said."

"That's sounds like this mission will take a long time. Does the Professor know where the Ruby is?"

"Yeah, he does. He said it is near the grand canyon in Arizona."

"Okay then so I will see you on Saturday."

"Okay."

Billy hung up the phone and went to see the Professor. When he saw him he said, " So professor what does this ruby look like?"

"The ruby is the size as your hand and it is bright as lava. It can bring people back to life."

Billy helped the professor get the things they needed ready for Saturday. Billy's mom said, "Billy, be really careful on this mission."

"Don't worry mom I have been on more dangerous missions, besides dad, Sabrina and Bonnie are going with me. So I will be fine." Billy lied. Honestly, he was very nervous about his mission because it involved going to many mysterious places he had never been to before.
