Once the dragon was gone, Nathan looked down at the heavy book in his hands. He smiled. New ways to make fireworks? Everyone at school would be so jealous! He'd show her. He'd learn everything in this book before he even turned ten! Nathan turned around and started marching for home.
It was pretty nice of her to give this to him. Still, he was confused by how she said they knew each other. He'd remember meeting a giant dragon. Or maybe it was when he was a baby? No, he'd definitely still remember. But scary claws and 'when you're older' aside, she was nice. He really liked her! Maybe she wasn't a stupid-head.
Nathan found himself looking forward to seeing Sarastrasza again. Who knew the things she could teach him?
