"You can go out, just don't go to far okay?" Phil had told Tommy.
Tommy and his family lived in a cottage near a forest, it was usually quiet and boring sometimes. Techno and Wilbur would usually be studying something, but Tommy being eight years old, AND the youngest child had no twin to play with.
Of course Tommy had friends but they lived farther away.
He usually went to play in the forest, nature made him seeing as he was a earth / nature elf, earth elves could talk to animals, and natural life and control nature, him and Kristin were earth elves of course!
As Tommy got out his shoes to go to the forest, he wondered why Phil didn't want him to go deep in the forest, he was an earth elf after all? Why would anything hurt him?
Of course dragons, and other evil beings could hurt him, but that would never logically happen.
"Big T is about to take down those evils!" he mumbled to himself and jumped triumphantly.
-
Tommy wandered around, he was lost.
Maybe he should've listened to Phil, ha ha.
The sun hadn't set yet but the sounds of branches and leaves falling still kind of scared him.
Tommy heard a whimper? It looked like something or someone was in pain.
He approached the sound and saw a small dragon laying on a tree, it had scratches on it's wings and a few cuts, strangely, it had half black and half white skin, with iridium heterochromatic green and red eyes.
He should've probably stared sprinting away, but the dragon's aura didn't seem dangerous, and didn't have any "Beware!" signals.
He walked up to it, "Hello?" He said.
"Hi, please don't hurt me, I'm lost!" The dragon wiped a tear.
"So am I! Maybe I can help you? You have a lot of cuts."
"How can you understand me?" The dragon mumbled.
"I'm an earth elf!" Tommy answered, "And so is my mum I can ask for her help?"
Tommy lent out a hand.
"Okay, I just- I just want to get back home," The dragon frowned.
"Aw, we'll help you, what's your name by the way? I'm Tommy."
"I'm- I'm Ranboo," He stuttered
Tommy smirked, "Well lets get going Ranboob!"
-
The duo managed to find their way home by the time the sun was setting, Kristin approached Tommy as soon as she saw Ranboo.
She noticed the state of Ranboo, "Looks like this is one of the peaceful dragon types."
She crouched down slightly to be level with Ranboo, "Hi, what's your name?" She smiled
"Ranboo," he mumbled, "I'm an ender dragon, I got lost."
Kristin stood straight up, "I'll ask questions later, let's get you treated."
-
After they got Ranboo inside, Tommy went to the small library they had in the back of the house.
He skimmed the pages, "There are two types of dragons, one being peaceful, and one being dangerous, The nether dragons are dangerous, huge beings, where as Ender dragons are peaceful and are smaller in size," he read out.
"Ender dragons like to eat vegetables and fruits."
-
Tommy filled a plate with grapes, apple slice and carrots.
He walked to the spare room they had, Ranboo was lying down, he looked upset.
"Hey Ranboo, I brought you something!" He smirked.
Ranboo saw the food and beamed, "Wow- thank you! How did-"
"I'm just that great Big R."
"Sure."
...
Ranboo started eating the fruits.
"Ranboo, how did you get lost exactly?"
Ranboo looked down and sniffed,
"I went outside of the End portal without my parents permission, and a nether dragon attacked me, I tried to fly away, and I- I blanked out but I ended up in that forest," he explained, "What if I never get to see my parents again? What if they go searching for me and get attacked like-"
"Sh! That won't happen trust me! We're going to help you find your way trust me!" Tommy hugged the dragon, "You can stay here with me and my family in the mean time!"
"Okay...Are the others earth elves too?"
Tommy shook his head, "No but we can give them nature amulets so they can speak to you too!"
Tommy was excited, he was helping someone and getting a friend!
-
The next day, Kristin went with Phil to the End portal, leaving the kids home, Wilbur brushed Ranboo's hair while him, Techno and Tommy talked.
"Damn, Tommy you should try not screaming when your hair is getting combed like Ranboo," Wilbur smirked.
Tommy protested.
"Speaking of hair, did you even brush your hair today," Techno raised an eyebrow, he dragged a finger through Tommy's hair.
Tommy hissed.
"I'm guessing no," Techno folded his arms.
-
Unfortunately after two days, Ranboo had to go, Tommy decided to go with Kristin to escort Ranboo home.
The journey was shorter than expected.
Tommy sighed, "Bye Ranboo! I'll miss you," he mumbled.
Kristin smiled, "We can always visit."
"Really?" Tommy and Ranboo asked at the same time.
Kristin nodded.
Ranboo waved and went into the portal.
Tommy grinned.
His life was crazy, he was friends with animals and dragons, he can't say he didn't love that part of being an earth elf though.
