I looked at the leader frowning. "You ever think that  a reason the dragons  do the things they do? Hunting might be poor, have you ever  thought of talking to them instead of just killing them? They are not just  beasts that have no thought besides destroying things. They have thoughts, feelings just  like you and  me.I doubt I am  the only person in the  world who can understand what  they want, need. Perhaps I can help you find such a person. It is better  than just killing without  knowing anything. If you do that, you are  just  as  bad as  they are."<br/>I gasped as Diamond  attacked the  leader, and  tried  to draw her back  from him.<br/>"Diamond,  let me speak before  you do anything rash. It  will not bring back your father to kill him. Perhaps some  way to  make  matters well between  dragons  and people. It  seems much misunderstanding is with  them."<br/>I had no idea he was  watching. A little  bit, I was thinking this was a test of some kind. But  what did he want from me? How did he want  me  to act? And..more importantly, why did I care  so much about these things.
