It turned out the bubbles weren't as committed to keeping Pip out of danger as he had thought, before he could get even half as high as he was hoping, he was met with a large and unusual dragon. Pip had met many dragons before now, but none quite like this. It didn't take long for him to realise that for a lovely change, this dragon was friendly. Asking for some help getting away from the alligator looming in the back of Pips memory, Pip motioned down towards the swamps he he had just escaped from. The dragon couldn't do much for Pip though, beyond nudging him up into a much safer position on top of his bubble.

The friendly creature didn't stay long, swiftly exiting as soon as Pip was sat steadily.

It was admittedly much more comfortable on top of the bubble, and Pip was grateful for the help, though sad the new friend had left so soon. It didn't take long however before Pip saw some lights above his head, and realised why the dragon hadn't wanted to stick around very long.
