All About the Sand Dragon

Today, we discover general information about the Sand Dragon, a rather common dragon species with the Earth holding over 75,000 alone. We are looking at what scientists have researched and investigated.

The Sand Dragon usually lives in warm deserts, being active during the day and sleeping at night, like a human. It has soft, golden skin, and large, sodden wings attached by wet sand and thin muscles in its body. It prefers to avoid fire or other heat sources, as it has a high chance of becoming glass and freezing in place if it touches any warm surfaces.

It additionally fancies consuming beach critters such as crabs, barnacles, mussels, washed up starfish and snails which keep Sand Dragons well fed for a few hours. It drinks salt water on a regular basis, about 2-3 gallons per 24 hours. When meeting with other Sand Dragons, they become courteous and share the collected grub. Besides, when seeking shelter during the night, they’d typically dig a large, open hole in the sand to sleep in.  They always enclose it first, so predators cannot enter. If there is no sand nearby, the sit beside a tree instead.

 

Furthermore, Sand Dragons have a variety of abilities including causing sandstorms when they are angry, flicking large tumbleweeds, and instantly growing cacti. These can sometimes be used to their advantage, but not very often. Offensive tactics are commonly used when another life form is attacking them.

 

So did you learn anything? You probably have. One fact to note is that Sand Dragons are completely harmless to humans unless you tease them, which is NOT a good idea.

Shadow of the Woods

In the small city of Spreak, it was a night of clapping thunder and pouring rain from up above. Andy was camping out in Ecstatic Forest, to the east of Spreak. He was comfortably sitting in his warm tent cooking an appetising soup filled with citrus fruits and berries.  He had also discovered a better way to collect water to drink. He’d construct a bowl or cup out of wood, paper or stone, and collect the rainwater in the bowl or cup. Andy was doing that very activity when he saw something move in the distance. “Nah, probably just a leaf,” Andy’s mind exclaimed., and continued eating his soup  and collecting rain water. He turned around to put the empty soup pot in the tent, but that “thing” he thought was a leaf edged closer. That’s when Andy realised that something was lurking in the distance about one hundred meters or so away.

Andy did a 360° turn again, and the figure got even closer! This wasn’t going to end well- he had to run! Andy sprinted as fast as he could towards Spreak, but unfortunately there was a large stone in the way so he had no choice but to run to Wallson Town which was another nearby town. Andy attempted to find a nearby citizen, but because it was dark everybody was asleep in their comfy beds at home. Andy could clearly see the strange figure now- it had crimson feet with copper toenails,  ruby skin as thick as a book, and three multicoloured eyes that were slowly orbiting around a green nose. It roared with all its might, and woke up the local residents in a flash. Now the monster was charging a a colossal beam that was gradually becoming larger and larger, and Andy braced himself for the dangers he was about to face. The beam was fully charged… “THREE, TWO, ONE, BOOM-“

 

The Trap

Alex glared hungrily at the mouth-watering pile of food on the creaky wooden table. Although because it was in plain sight in the middle of a mysterious, unknown tunnel, she instantly realised it was a trap. She inspected every nook and cranny of the area, and located  traps such as a net beside the entrance near where Alex was standing, guards preparing to ambush in the corners of the room and a pitch-black hole covered with a rotating plank to trap victims in a deep hole next to the table. Alex took a single step into the strange, ruined room, while the cars passing overhead rattled the manhole lid above the tunnel. Suddenly, guards jumped out and ordered Alex to put her hands in the air, but unfortunately for them the floor net facepalmed because all four guards were in it, therefore trapping them inside and lifting them upwards. Relieved, excited, elated, the guards jealously glazed at Alex who was gobbling up the delectable carrot cake, the appetizing blueberry pie, and the spicy but tasty curry along with everything else.

However that was not the end…

Kerpow Opening

It is March 24th, 2003 at Ivan’s cottage. The time was now, and Ivan had prepared for over seven months to finally travel the world. He had gathered as much food, drink, healthcare equipment, entertainment and tools as he could find for this perilous but exciting adventure.

He would travel by boat to France, and walk all the way to China. Then he would fly all the way to north Canada, and go all the way to Argentina. Then take one final flight to South Africa, and go straight to the tip-top of Africa, then take a flight back to London happily. take a long time, but he was not going to give up so easily! He would become famous for it, as all worldwide travellers do. He shouted goodbye to his family and friends, and set off for the airport.
