"Once upon a time in the quite......" The narrator flinched as a resounding CLANG pierced the air. "Alright, in the not so quiet village of Discord, created by the slightly shy almighty Cosmic Dragon, lived a Chieftain and his lovely mate. The sun was slowly rising when flapping could be heard near his nest."

"Chief!! Chief!!" Came the voice of Batty, the village bat and sometimes familiar of the witch. The Chief however paid the voice no mind as he continued snoring away. He covered himself with his red wing before curling up further. Batty huffed in annoyance and then sucked in a breath before loudly shouting "CHIEF ASIER!!!!!"

The Chief's head shot up and he fell out of his nest from shock as the shrill call pierced the air. The little bat flapped proudly in front of the Chief's nest.

"What do you want Batty?" Asier grumbled as he rubbed his head which he was sure would be sporting a bulge soon. He still couldn't fathom how such a tiny bat had such a pair of lungs.

The Chief looked at the clock in his nest and he raised an eyebrow. "What do you wake me so early Batty?"

"Hey don't roast the messenger." Batty grumbled. "You can roast the culprit."

"What culprit?"

"The residents have been reporting someone banging the welcome gong early in the morning. I was sent to get you." Batty responded. "So up and at em."

Asier let out a sigh but flew out of his house which overlooked the rural village. The humans and dragons alike were just rising and going about their day. "So who are the likely suspects?"

"Who do you think?" Batty winked while pointing at the two neighbours.

"Alright let's sort this out." He stated as he swooped down to the village and to the first house which was a giant rock. Upon the rock lay the sleeping Night Fury Moon.

"Yoohooo" Batty called as he got closer to the dragon. "Moon wakey wakey!!!" This however was not a wise thing to do as Moon proceeded to try and take a bit out of Batty in his sleep.

"Hey watch the wings!" Batty complained.

Asier merely poked the sleeping dragon awake. Yes he knew the saying never poke a sleeping dragon, but seriously. How else would you wake one.

Moon grumbled but woke up. Through have lidden eyelids the dragon peered at the Chief. "Good morning!!!!" Moon exclaimed letting out a big yawn.

"Morning Moon. Do you know about the gong that keeps getting banged in the morning?" Asier asked as the Night Fury lazily laid on the rock.

"Why do you think I have these bags under my eyes. Haven't had a good night's sleep in a while." Moon complained.

"So you didn't bang the gong." Asier concluded as Moon just gave him an are-you kidding look.

"Of course not. Why don't you ask the village witch! Surely she did it just to annoy me." Moon complained.

"When will you guys learn to get along?" He asked in exasperation.

"We are getting along." Moon replied. "We haven't killed each other yet."

The Chief let out another sigh. That was probably the closest to cooperation that he'd get. Next he walked to Moon's neighbour who lived in a small two storey mushroom house. Batty flew next to Asier and as they got to the front porch he screamed "LET GO OF ME YOU ANNOYING WEED!!!"

"Not again" The Chief growled and looked at the flesh eating orchid which was guarding the house and had a thing for Batty. "Maybe you shouldn't insult it." He suggested.

Batty was about to say something when the orchid ate him. "Whyyyyy!! Just whyyyyy!!" Batty wailed as he tried to get out of the flower. "What is it with people wanting to eat me today?!"

Asier ignored the moping bat now and knocked on the door. He knocked a couple more times before it opened to reveal a young girl with rumpled purple hair sticking up in all directions. Alyssa, the village witch, muttered a sleepy "Morning" as she nearly fell asleep against the door.

"I don't suppose it was you banging on the gong early in the morning?" Asier had to ask.

"Does this look like I'm in any condition to bang anything?" She mumbled while stifling a yawn. "I just bet it's Moon doing it just because I harvested his scales for my potion."

The Chief facepalmed. "If I know who is interrupting my beauty sleep you'll be the first to know since that person would be roasted." The witch told him.

"Alright, and could you and Moon please try to get along?" The Chief asked even though he knew it was no use.

"We do get along." The witched yawned. "We haven't killed each other yet."

"Funny. He said the same thing." Asier mumbled as he and Batty left the witch's house and continued asking the other villagers. Each reported the same thing and many were annoyed by the gong banging.

It was now near the end of the day and the Chief had not found the culprit yet. He had asked the chicken, the village people, the dragons and even the dragon guards but all knew nothing. With a sigh he stood in the square and told Batty, who had been flying around him to head on home. The little bat saluted before flying off.

Asier was about to take a step when he heard the gong clang. He whirled around to see that Batty had flown against the gong. "Man I'm not a morning person." Batty grumbled fluttering before flying again only to smack against the gong once more.

"It was you!!!" Asier suddenly shouted while pointing an accusing finger at the little bat. "GET BACK HERE!!" He yelled as Batty started to escape.

"EEEEK!!" Batty shouted as a fireball streaked past him from the annoyed Chief.

"YOU MADE ME GO ALL OVER TOWN!!!" was shouted before another fireball flew past.

"Someone save me!!!" Batty shouted as he flapped his wings for dear life.

"And so another peaceful...." The narrator winced as a building came down in the background while the angry wyvern Chief chased the little bat. "And so another day has passed here in the lovely village of Discord....."

"I'll teach you Batty!! Get back here!!" Was shouted before the narrator was engulfed in a fireball as the Chief flew past.

"Oh forget it. I need a pint of mead." The charred narrator huffed as they made their way to the village tavern.
