This choice: "...a troubling activity amongst you young ones." • Go Back...Chapter #9"...a troubling activity amongst you young ... by: Unknown To see Volteer genuinely angry was a rare sight. The Electric Guardian was always so optimistic and fun, occasionally raising his voice and looking serious to keep his class under control. This meant that what he was about to say was very important.
"'A troubling activity amongst us young ones', eh?" thought Dimitri to himself mockingly.
He had heard that phrase said many a time by other teachers.
"He's probably going to lecture us about flying in the hallways again," whispered Dimitri to Ash.
The maroon dragon chuckled and nodded.
"And this is far more complex than a few rebellious drakes and dragonesses flying down the hallways and injuring themselves," said Volteer, as if he heard Dimitri, "What I'm talking about is a sort of fornication culture emerging amongst you called Snake Balls."
Dimitri raised his eyebrows. Snake Balls? What the hell was that? It was the first time the black dragon had heard of it and his interest spiked. Whispering broke out. Drakes grinned at each other while dragonesses giggled behind their paws.
Dimitri frowned, wondering what they knew that he didn't. He looked over at Ash and saw that the maroon dragon was shifting in his seat, looking uncomfortable, like he was hiding something. It only served to make the black dragon even more suspicious.
"At these "gathering", I am told, there is much under age drinking and usage of dangerous substances," continued Volteer, "Which brings me to the second thing I want to discuss with you..."
The yellow dragon walked over to his desk and pulled something out. Holding it up high so that the whole class could see it, Dimitri saw that it was a very small bottle that contained red liquid.
"Dragon Drive," stated Volteer, "It enhances ones libido and it is specifically designed for beings that struggle to perform. It is medicine- powerful medicine, something that shouldn't be taken lightly, yet it is at these "gathering". We have several perfectly healthy young dragons hospitalized for growth issues because they overdosed on this substance."
"I'm giving you all a stern warning," Volteer said, looking at his class very seriously, "Anyone that is linked to these infamous "gatherings" or found in the possession of Dragon Drive would suffer being expelled and even face criminal charges."
"Now, pushing these dark matters aside, let's begin with today's lesson!" the yellow dragon said cheerfully, his seriousness disappearing in an instant.
But Dimitri only half listened to the lesson. He couldn't stop thinking about what he heard. Dragon Drive, Snake Balls. Why didn't he, the most popular kid in school, know anything about this? Why did the rest of the class seem to know, judging by their suspicious reaction?
Ash seemed to be hiding something too, for he kept squirming in his seat. There was something up and Dimitri was hellbent on finding out.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
