Meredith giggled as she spoke.<br/>"yes, mother. I'll be down soon. I have a new pet and he is guarding the door. He is a small lizard type creature. He just ate and I haven't had a chance to examine him very much. But he is very protective of me already. And so very cute."<br/><br/>Meredith walked over to the little one and picked him. She was careful not to do any harm to his wings in case they were a bit fragile still.<br/>"It is time for me to eat but I want to look you up so that I can tell my parents just what kind of creature you are.... I will weigh you first and measure you. Now stay still for a bit."<br/><br/>A scale was on her desk and she placed the small creature on the one end and quickly moved the weights until she had the weight. A quick jot on a piece of paper. She measured the head, the neck, the back then the tail. She measure the girth and jotted it down.<br/>The wings were gently pulled away from his body to be measured. She then sat him on the bed so she could take a quick look in her creature guide book. She found the page where the picture was just like the small creature. She couldn't believe her eyes as she petted his purple scales. She read the description and it fitted him perfectly.<br/><br/>"With your purple scales....... wing span with the golden membrane...... your eyes are Jade green! If I am reading this right, you are not any kind of a lizard but a dragon! I found a baby dragon of my very own! You are very special creature indeed." Meredith spoke as she petted its head.
