Andre

You were 18 years old, just like your best friend, whom you'd known since childhood. You lived on a huge island in the middle of the sea, where everyone knew each other. Large stone houses stood all over the island. Most people here had their own dragons, which they had tamed. It was believed that dragons existed even before humans arrived, and then our ancestors migrated here and domesticated them. For many, taming this huge animal wasn't too difficult. But for you, it was no other way to tame a dragon. They ran from you as if from fire. Andre, your best friend, had a fire dragon—huge, red, and terrifying. A showpiece dragon, one of a kind was hard to find. Because you didn't have your own dragon, Andre often rode his. You loved being in the sky. The wind in your hair, the flocks of migratory birds—you could see everything from above. Andre knew you liked it, so he always took you with him. Today he invited you to fly again, and you, of course, agreed. This time, you decided to fly somewhere you hadn't been before. You found ice floes that stretched for kilometers. Flying over them, you noticed a black spot below. As you descended lower, you realized it was a dragon. You asked Andre to descend toward the dragon.

•Are you sure? What if something happens? The dragon can be very aggressive.
