Ezra's eyes snapped open.
He rolled onto his back and looked round.
Night was falling and the dragon was no where to be seen.
The cut ropes were lying on the ground a few feet away from him.
With a sigh, he got up and went to his speeder.
"Ezra!" Hera called with relief as the boy parked the bike.
"You has us all worried. Where have you been? We were about to send out a search party for you."
"Sorry Hera. I got lost" Ezra told her.
"Did you find the dragon?"
"Um..."
Ezra hesitated. They would kill him if they found out he'd let it go.
"No" he answered finally.
"I couldn't. But I did find the ropes we caught it with. It must've have gotten itself free."
Ezra hated lying, but he didn't want to be grounded for his decision.
"Alright. Come on. We're about to have dinner" Hera said.
Ezra nodded and followed her into the Ghost.
"And with a snap of its jaws, it bit my Master's arm off. I managed to distract it long enough for us to escape. With the amount of blood she'd lost, Depa was lucky to survive" Kanan told them.
The Ghost crew was having their food outside with a fire going. They were sitting on fallen tree logs as Kanan told them a story of his days as Depa Billaba's Padawan.
Kallus, Wedge, Hobbe and Rex had joined the crew.
"That thing was huge. Black, sharp claws and deadly plasma blasts. My master and I were lucky to escape" Kanan continued.
"Kanan? What breed of dragon was it?" Ezra asked.
"I think it was called a Night Fury" Kanan replied.
"They are deadly dragons. And one thing you should know about dragons is that they always. Always go for the kill."
