Forest- Next day

Zephyr is walking through the forest.  She stops, looks around and then crouches down.  She moves some leaves and underneath them is a rope.  The rope leads to a hole covered with leaves and vines.  Zephyr climbs down into the hole.  The dragon meets her at the bottom.  He turns in circles excitedly.

ZEPHYR: Hey buddy!  I'm back!  Here you want some fish?

Zephyr reaches into her knapsack and pulls out a fish.

The dragon ignores it and turns in circles excitedly.

ZEPHYR: What?  Not hungry today?

The dragon runs to the back of the den.

ZEPHYR: Uhh, bud?

The dragon comes back with Zephyr's dagger in it's mouth.  It spits it out.  The dagger is covered in dragon spit.

ZEPHYR: (looks down in disbelief) My dagger!  You found my dagger!

The dragon nods excitedly and jumps up and down.

ZEPHYR: Wow!  I can't believe it! Thank you!

The dragon beams proudly.

Zephyr looks up at the dragon. (Scenes switch from flashback and the present)
