I Awakened A Sleeping Dragon

Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus.. You should have heard that phrase somewhen. 
It's a proverb in astonishing series by J.K Rowling that literally means "Never tickle a sleeping dragon" or simpler "Do not awake a sleeping dragon!"

That quote means a lot lot to me these day. Why? Because we had just awakened a sleeping dragon!! 

Well, i won't tell you how to awake a sleeping dragon, that will be unnecessary either. Just say i accidentally stepped on its tail or not accidentally pricked on its nose and putting some tar tar sauce on its eyes or whatever you said...





Things that i will tell, are how to deal with the awakened dragon. These are the options :

1. Run
Running's maybe the best option, though there's still the risk. Why? Because no matter how fast you run, dragons will always faster than you, any type. My suggestion if you choose this option, don't hesitate even a second, don't ever look back, just run for you life!

2. Hide
But this option has a higher risk. Dragons are smart and they usually have a good sense, so they will easily find you.   Even worst if you don't have any place to hide.
Do not playing dead! They will immediately find out!

Those two seemed wound not work out, so i chose another option :

3. Tame them












Note this : not all dragons eat human. So, Mostly they just kill human without eating us. 
Taming dragon is a little bit tricky. First, don't try to look ferocious. Be brave but humble. Second, calm the dragon temper. A book entitled Dragonology by Ernest Drake writes 5Fs to deal with dragon :
   - Fieldwork : know you dragon environment
   - Foresight : know you DRAGON properly
   - Forwardness : daring and courage enough to do approach
   - Frankness : being honest all the time
   - Fatalities : avoid any fatalities that might happening

But my steps, was quite different. We were there, shivering by the dragon anger. And we were surrendering. Some of my friends even cried in front of that dragon. 

I definitely believe that dragons have hearts. And maybe our sad and miserable faces touch its heart. So finally it's forgiving us. And the best part, when we came back another day, it's still remembering us and treating us like friend. Not that the dragon flying happily or sleeping in our lap, but at least it wasn't attacking us anymore even if we approached closer. Doesn't it count as tame?

Well, do you understand what i tried to write here? 
Because i, myself, also don't understand what i just wrote. Haha.

But, if you do understand, you must be one cadet who tamed that dragon with me...

  1. Have you heard the legend that when dragon took interest in a person (human), they can share heart and bond to that person.

    Well ofcourse, either you be lucky if the legend is true or you ended up burn to crisp.
