The dragon guarded his cave. Fluffy, the unicorn, watched. She’d heard of this dragon. It was Charzard. She knew that Charzard guarded pure evil in human form. If that evil was unleashed, it would destroy the world. Fluffy was determined to destroy it. It wasn’t enough to guard the evil.
Fluffy was small for a unicorn though she felt she made up for her size with might. This dragon was huge – at least a thousand times bigger than she was. Charzard was stone gray, unlike Fluffy who was pink and black. The dragon also sported spikes all the way down his back to the tip of his tail. Fluffy knew to be wary of the dragon. He was known for breathing projectile emojis that could paralyze whomever they hit.
Charzard looked very squishy. She thought if she tried to kick him she might bounce off. Fluffy thought Charzard smelled delicious – like oranges. Yumm!
The dragon had a constant, slow and low growl. Fluffy didn’t think he’d seen her. She just thought this was his way of breathing.
He was eating a huge orange – not just huge, it was ginormous – bigger than Fluffy! Whoa! She loved oranges. They tasted sooo sweet. Yumm. She wondered where she might find a ginormous orange!
But now it was time for action. Fluffy had a plan. She would use her small stature combined with her magical camouflage abilities to sneak past the dragon and vanquish the Pure Evil!
She whispered, “Avadaca-Fluffy”, and went camouflage-transparent. She trotted toward the dragon. She made it right underneath. So close to the cave! Suddenly the dragon sat!
Ahh!
Whew!
Fluffy had thought she would be squashed. Instead, the dragon was so squishy that she was now stuck under him in a very claustrophobic dome, but she was still alive!
She began to dig. It took a while because she was very squished and she only had hooves, but soon she had a tunnel. Not long after that she tunneled up and into the cave. When she broke ground and was above the surface she heard the same low and slow growl, but now it was much louder!
Huh? Maybe the dragon hadn’t been making that noise at all. Maybe it was the noise of PURE EVIL!
The cave was lit by thousands of bright crystals that hung from the ceiling. She had tunneled into an empty cavern, but there was a path at the back that led to another room.
Fluffy headed for the path. She had to find the PURE EVIL and destroy it.
Suddenly she heard stomping. She swung around and saw Charzard blasting into the cave. He looked really angry.
“I know someone tunneled into MY CAVE! I’m going to get you!” he bellowed.
Fluffy galloped toward the room where she thought PURE EVIL was captured. Then a human barreled past her.
Oh no! PURE EVIL had escaped its bonds. She ran after it. It raced past the dragon and dived into Fluffy’s tunnel.
Fluffy dived after it.
It scrambled out of the tunnel and sprinted away. Fluffy kept at it. The dragon flew at it, but PURE EVIL kept running away.
As the dragon flew, Fluffy used her teleporting magic and jumped in front of the PURE EVIL. PURE EVIL turned and ran to one side and then another, evading capture. Fluffy used her ability to grow to normal unicorn size and blocked it.
Suddenly with a loud poof the PURE EVIL in human form transformed into a cute baby dragon.
“Stop running after me! I’m just a baby dragon.”
“Yeah, right,” Fluffy said.
Pure Evil was pure clever trying to play this trick.
“I want to go potty”, said the baby dragon.
“Ha!” bellowed Charzard. “You are just trying to trick us with your baby ways.”
With a loud bang, two new dragons arrived but they were unlike any dragons Fluffy had ever seen before. These were, without doubt, PURE EVIL.
“I don’t want to go home with my parents,” said the baby dragon. “They are scary. Please save me.”
Fluffy used her most powerful magic to imprison the dragons in a special cube! She did not want the baby dragon to suffer just because its parents were PURE EVIL! But now the baby dragon didn’t have parents. Which made her very sad.
“Wait,” she said. “I will use my strongest magic. She touched the cube with her new horn and said, “Avacava Goodness”.
Just like that, the parents were good. She released them, and the baby had real parents who would always love her.
“Yay,” said Charzard.
“Yay”, said the baby.
“Hooray, hooray,” they all said!
The End.
