This is a short story that I started working on a while back.
I look forward to comments to help me improve on my writing skills.


‘Ugh… Where the hell am I? Was that a dream or was it real?’ Zerenus found himself in a bed, when he woke up on a gloomy afternoon. ‘What a nightmare. I was at a mountain peak with someone, I can’t really remember, and I blanked out,’ he thought. ‘All I remember was that I was in a mountain range with a bunch of dragons and there was this dragon tamer. Ugh… My head… Huh? What’s this?’ Zerenus felt a soft piece of cloth wrapped around his head. He quickly searched around the room, to find that he wasn’t in his own room, but he was in a hospital room. ‘Aw crap… Even my wings are aching so badly… Ugh’
Just then, a young girl came in with a dragon. “How are you feeling, Zerenus?”
“Who the hell are you? How the hell do you know my name? Where the hell am I?”
“You’re in the hospital of Kanarainia. My name is Cyniara. And this is my dragon, Inflamis. I know your name because you are the most popular person in our school.”
“Whoa… Didn’t you say this was a hospital? Now you’re saying it’s a school!? What do you take me for…a fool?”
“Actually, this is the school of Kanarainia. The school has almost everything: classrooms, cafeterias, libraries, auditorium, training centers, par…”
“WHAT?!?! What’s the training center for?”
“Oh, ya… umm… I’ll show you when you get out.”
“Ugh… My head… Do you know what happened to me?”
“Sorry… You just left for some reason... Quite weird… It’s amazing that Inflamis and I found you at Dragons’ Peak.”
At this point, Zerenus was filled with questions, but it all went away when a late-teen girl came in with her own dragon. “How are you feeling, Zerenus?”
“Ok, two things,” replied Zerenus in his hoarse voice, “number one, I have no idea who you are, therefore, you don’t need to know how I’m feeling… Number two…”
“Ha ha ha ha! Of course I know who you are, but the important thing is that you should know me. My name is Zenerach, you’re instructor. And this is Shadow, my shadow dragon.”
“Anyways, as I was saying, number two: I am feeling quite cranky, so don’t talk to me.”
After 5 minutes of silence, the silence was broken when Dr. Amesh came in with a portfolio with a bunch of papers.
“Well I looked at your X-rays, and it looks like your good to go. Just make sure you come back to me a week from today. Got it?”
“Yeah, sure,” replied Zerenus. ‘Finally, I get these bandages off me!’
“Yay! Now I can show you around. That’s okay, right Zerenus?” asked Cyniara.
“Huh? Yeah, sure. You can probably show me some people that can tell me what happened… Oh ya, um… Zenerach…?”
“Excuse me… I know I am only a couple of years older than you, but I am still your instructor. You will address me as Professor Renerash, understood? You will meet me with Cyniara in my classroom in two hours. Cyniara, please make sure that Zerenus meets ALL of his guardians, okay? I’m counting on you.”
“No problemo, professor Renerash. See you in two hours. C’mon Zerenus, we’re wasting time! Seeya professor Renerash!” Exclaimed Cyniara. She found that Zerenus was gazing up into space.
“Huh? Oh, okay. Bye.”
As they left in a hurry, Zenerach Renerash and Shadow waved good-bye as Inflamis trailed behind Zerenus and Cyniara through a pair of sliding doors.
