Emberzilla: Queen Of Dragons

Written by Crystalbreeze
The city was huge. It had a small suburb and a big central downtown. There were many office centers, hotels and skyscrapers and long streets. Parks and gardens. It’s citizens walked on the busy roads all day, like in New York. The city was always happy and full with life.
And this is what never changed. Even when a very strange and non-everyday thing happened.
Once in the afternoon of a usual day Anon was walking along the street among the other people in the downtown. He could only hear the cars’ noise and the talking crowd. He heard it every single day. The shops were full of customers and the taxi drivers had so much passangers.
“Yeah.” Anon thought, while he looked around with a smile. “Just a usual day in the paradise.”
But minutes after his thought, the sky became darker. It looked like thunderclouds just appeared above the high buildings of the city. It was very sudden and strange. The clouds were dark grey and the blue sky which could be seen minutes ago, disappeared.
Lightning bolts were flashing in the clouds, the crowd on the streets was surprised. The weather forecast didn't talk about that at all on TV. Anon looked around again. Now every person’s head was watching the events up in the air.
The next thing that happened was a sound. It sounded like a deep horn. It had no source. The sound was as loud that the cars’ windows almost cracked into many small pieces. Most of the citizens covered their ears. Anon did this too, but it wasn’t better. This noise was deafening.
Fortunately it ended after half a minute. After this, a huge black shadow became visible in the grey thunderclouds. The shadow was moving. Falling like a shooting star.
Suddenly it came out of the cloud. As it broke through, huge lighning bolts crashed into the ground. The falling thing was blue. And huge. It had wing-like things, a tail and four limbs. It looked like a strange creature. As it landed on the big street where Anon was, the lightning bolts' attack ended and the dark sky has gone.
The environment looked like five minutes ago, when everything was normal. The walking people started whispering about what just happened. Anon could hear their questions:
"What was this?" What the hell just happened?"
"I don't know! This is'n natural!"
Then the crowd started moving forward. The people wanted to know what kind of thing fell down. Anon stood there with suprise. He never saw anything like that before. Anything like a quick thunder and a falling something that crashed into the city.
And so the curious people went through the streets. The taxi drivers and the passangers got out of the cars and the customers ran out of the shop to join. Hundreds of citizens were going together to the place where the thing landed.
They were loud because most of them were speaking to each other. But as the ground beneath them started shaking, the downtown street became quiet under a moment. The tall and massive buildings and skyscrapers were shaking too.
Boom
Boom
First Anon heard it hard. However a minute later it was louder.
BOOM
BOOM
"Something is coming." Thought Anon.
He was right. Something was coming. Something giant. This situation was like a scene from the Godzilla, or the Cloverfield movies, when a massive alien monster appears and starts smashing the humans and cars with its feet.
To everyone's surprise, a gigantic dragon-like creature came. It was as big as a 20 storey high-rise building. It had those strange wings, a long tail, two big hands and two legs. Its head was beautiful. It looked like a female creature. She walked forward with her huge legs and looked down at the confused crowd of tiny creatures called humans. She was smiling.
Unfortunately she didn't noticed the cars down there. This is why she kicked some of them away, like footballs. As she stepped, the humans quickly jumped away to not get smashed by the female dragon's feet.
When the dragon saw that the bug sized creatures are panicking, she kneeled down and greeted them happily.
"Hello there, cute little ones! My name is Ember and I'm the queen of dragons! I'm here to play with you!"
Then she reached out her arm and got a little yellow cab that wasn't actually empty. The taxi driver was in it. He wanted to go out of the car quickly, but it was too late and Ember caught the car and lifted it up to her big eyes. The driver was absolutely frightened.
"Oh, you've got such cool toys!" She said. "This yellow thing is amazing!"
After she said this, she gently pushed the miniature car to her chest. She hugged it. Some seconds later she tried to open it. She took out the car's door and tried to catch the little driver, who quickly jumped out of the taxi. He started falling, but he didin't touch the ground, because while he fell, Ember caught him with the palm of her hand.
The poor driver had no idea what was happening. He couldn't speak, because he was panicking. To calm him down, Ember took him close to her big mouth and pecked the driver. And in the end, she took him down to the ground. She also took the taxi down.
Seconds later the army came. The mayor of the city called them, so they went there to see what fell down. And they found Ember. At first, three tanks came with about fifity soldiers. They started shooting at Ember, who felt the bullets. She became angry and once she released the fire from her mouth. like a flamethrower. Blue flames shot out of her mouth. Her targets were not the soldiers. This was just a warning shot. The outside ofthe tanks were burned and the army soldiers lost their confidence. They ran away.
But the tanks were still working. They began shooting again, this time with bigger bullets. Ember's answer was a big kick. She kicked the tanks away. About ten seconds the tanks reached the ground. They exploded, but the soldiers inside the vehicles survived, because they jumped out of them and escaped from the spot.
One of the tanks landed about ten meters away from Anon and a group of humans. And soon it exploded, but the driver went out of it earlier. Anon started running, but it wasn't enough. The small group of people flew up because of the huge explosion. They started screaming.
Anon and the others started falling. The huge blue dragon queen, Ember, didn't hesitate. She reached out of her two hands and saved them all.
"Don't worry!" Said she, while she caressed them with her human sized fingers. Anon was one of them. He calmed down after the caressing. "It's over now."
She took them close to her face and let them touch her. At that day, many humans, kids and adults, wanted to play with Ember. The kids tried to climb up to the top of her giant head many times, other humans climbed up to her belly and tickled it. Both of the tiny people and the massive sized dragon enjoyed that day.
