Book Wyrm

"Dolgo, get down from there," Liddy cried as the little red dragon scaled the bookshelf for the fifth time in an hour.

He had made a habit to climb the bookshelf and guard his precious books. It was adorable when the tiny wyrm had first decided to nest upon the cluttered shelves but now it was ridiculous. Dolgo was almost too big and the shelf was too rickety for the rapidly growing dragon's antics.

Liddy knew it was only a matter of time before the case crumpled beneath the little dragon. She spent most of her days shooing him off the damn thing. She wanted to buy a new case but there never seemed to be enough money, little dragons grow quickly and need large amounts of food; that ate into her stash of money.

Her family told her to get rid of Dolgo, that he was only a pet. He was her baby and there was no way she would get rid of her darling little beast. Today, however, was the last straw. She would have to find a way to keep him out of trouble.
