  It is extremely nice to add links to the previous story if you are prompting from one I've already written. It takes time for me to track down what you're talking about.

  Thank you in advance for making my streams smoother and easier.

  Wraithvine's friend, Podmore, finds a human child lost and afraid in the woodlands. They'd wandered away from home to pick fall fruits, and had gotten very lost. Wraithvine was trying to locate the child's home and family, and it was very dark out, so not all that safe to travel. While the child was curled up on a bedroll, they looked up at Podmore and asked "Tell me a bedtime story, please?"

  They would sit as a human brushed their fur and ranted about a bad day. They sat as other humans quietly held their hands, sometimes rubbing their furry arms. This was normal for the life of a companion. If you didn't like being touched constantly, then working with humans was not for you. But they, sometimes had bad days, too, and needed someone to rant to.

  But, sometimes, THEY needed someone to hold, to rant to, to cry to, about their problems. And when the human saw them struggling, the human picked them up, sat down in a quiet corner, and said, softly. "Go ahead and let off some steam, I'll listen. You need it, and you're always doing it for me, it's my turn to help you.

  You know, I really hate people. They’re selfish, Ignorant, loud-obnoxious pricks, with basically no redeeming quality what so ever. I mean really look at all they achieved, genocide, global warming, reality tv. It’s just a never ending parade of failures and f#%* ups. They are without question, a complete write off a species, & HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME CARE ABOUT THEM

  Silverwing, over the years, makes deals with other adventurers. Some even end up with families while living near the dragon's den. After a while a village has formed with one unified goal, protect their dragon friend. Other adventurers, dragon-slayers, come to try to take down the dragon, and find out that this village does NOT tolerate such behavior. They protect the dragon and the kolbolds, and in return, the dragon takes care of any deadly predators that threaten the village. Not to mention the dragon's an excellent instructor and, as such, the school for the children was built near the den so the dragon could work with others in educating the young.

  Sadly, however, adventurers still came wanting to slay a dragon. And, sadder still, some only were willing to learn the HARD way about their foolish actions.

  I based this off of this story. I like Silverwing! https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-03186-h277-pax-draconis

  The person had been in that world as a "free demon" for some time now. Their friends, back on earth, realize they've not seen their friend for some time. They learn how to call their friends to that world and introduce them to the magic user that dragged them out of the "hell" that is earth and into that world, and how humans, apparently, have power there.

  I'm pretty sure I've said, "Please no enormous prompts" in my pinned post

  I feel uncomfortable when the prompt takes up more real estate than the three paragraphs I use as teaser material.

  Their species is feline-like in origin. Several orphaned skitty kittens start following them around, refusing to let the person out of their sight, getting distressed when the person is difficult for them to get to.

  They had managed to turn their hobby into quite the lucrative business. Setting up in one of the busiest Alliance stations, their business, a confectionary shop specializing in homemade candies using recipes from Earth before the Scattering, was especially popular with families. And now, of course, was their favorite past time with all the extra Time they had after paying their bills, though they always made sure to set some aside in savings, shopping! It seemed like every day a new package was arriving. Knives, swords, gifts for friends, decorations for the confectionary shop, etc. And then the special day came, and they were super excited. They'd managed to rescue their entire family from the deregger world that they, themselves, had escaped from so long ago, so they were getting to decorate the quarters they were going to surprise their family with, who was scheduled to arrive tomorrow afternoon.

  They were not exactly soft-spoken, though their tones were often soft and polite. But there was a reason for that. When speaking in their normal tones, their voice carried!. In their normal talking tone, they were loud, so it was not unusual to hear them actively modulate down to a softer tone to try to reign that in.

  But this idiot was NOT listening to them. They kept doing stupid crub that was going to get them hurt, if not worse. Finally, they had enough and let loose a bellow of STOP NOW!.

  Everyone around them startled as the shout all but rippled across the entire factory so loud that it drowned out much of the machinery. Now it was time to let this idiot know their mistakes, before more than just their pride was hurt.

  Forgive me, it was meant to read "They almost NEVER killed in these duels" I did not proof-read well enough before I hit submit and it won't let me go back and edit.

  After the investigation, the havenworlders were carefully lead out by a team of therapists, but they found the human couldn't move, or rather, wouldn't. Sobbing bitterly, all she could do is sit there, shaking. In many ways, this had been far more traumatic for her than any of her charges. It was decided to carry her, gently, to a quiet place. The therapists had a lot of work ahead of them to deal with the trauma. In this case, the havenworlders were the easier ones to care for. This human was a wreck.

  A few years after the first encounter, the humans return to Lilli Station, they come in large, new, ships. They do not dock but, instead, make contact. They offer to reinforce the station to protect the inhabitants. To assign humans to guard the cognisants there. The inhabitants of this station helped them, saved them, in their hour of desperate need, and, despite the gift given, never asked for anything in return. The humans were grateful to the ones that saved them. And intended to make sure others knew, this station was under their protection.

  They had raided the ship with a band of pirates. Left behind when the others fled, the humans adopted them and began to teach them a new way. They still had to answer for the crimes they committed, but remanded into the humans' care, they began to learn how to care about others, but, more important, how to be able to care about one's self as well.

  A deathworlder alien visits Australia, they don't listen when the humans tell them it's too dangerous to go even into the shallows of the water along the beach by Perth. The idiot, despite the human running as fast as they can to stop them, goes wading in with an arrogant smirk of "it's only water, and if the fish is named after a harmless substance that even your kind use to denote someone who's weak or cowardly, how bad can it be??" Until they're stung by a box jellyfish, they got lucky, medics saved them, but the pain makes them wish they'd not survived.

  The humans show the dear technician that this particular acid is completely harmless to their kind, by slicing one of the fruit into a thin slice, and eating it raw. Of course, the human that did so was an oddball, they actually LIKED eating lemons the way people ate oranges. But then again, they liked grapefruit, too!

  It was very late at night, it was hot, when their friend entered their quarters. Their friend had been told they were welcome any time. Yet again, the cooling systems had gone down and their friend couldn't sleep. Supplies, including spare parts, wouldn't be in until next week.

  "You were right, the jury-rig didn't work. I thought I could just bodge it together to save us some time on spares that last supply run."

  "Didn't work, did it?"

  "Now what do we do?"

  "I TOLD you we always need to keep at least two more spares! You're lucky I, at least, prepare!"

  We tried to tame the humans. We thought them little more than savages. We treated them so poorly. Yet, when danger came, they smashed down their cages and saved us. They had been TESTING us! They have forgiven us, but we cannot forgive ourselves.
