The Abandoned Tarākona/Dragon

CLASH! I woke up, confused. A piece of metal barely missed my head. I stood up to see where I was, Two tall ash grey pereki/brick buildings were beside me the rest of the land was full of pīki\big Alder rākau\trees half the size of the building.. I stroked my hands along the old grey pereki. They were rough and solid  most of the paint was peeled of. I reached the door it was double my height and it had KEEP OUT! Carved onto the wood. The pereki\brick above the door was crumbling into little pieces falling onto my head. Curious, I opened the door,  “HELLO?!” I screamed. No one answered. I walked up the chalky concrete stairs. I was almost at the roof of the building when I heard a sound that I've never heard before, ROAR!!! My heart was pounding as fast as a single lightning strike. I told myself “There’s no turning back now”. 

I was now on the roof of this abandoned building, I looked down at the rest of this place There was nothing else. “How am I going to find my way back home”? I thought.There was a small black shed in the corner of the rooftop, I didn't want to open it But I had to. There was nowhere else to go. As I twisted the door handle I heard fire rumbling. Before I even thought about what was behind it I opened the door.

I saw coal black rough shimmery skin, It's scales were like leaves falling of 

rākau in the winter. His teeth were like pīki swords coming out of his mouth. His whero eyes had an Iridescent shimmer to them. It was beautiful but terrifying. The tail was like a dozen python snakes.. .A TāRAKONA/Dragon! in this exact moment I regret everything that led up to this moment BOOM!!! Black smoke filled up the shed. *cough cough* Then I was back home in my bedroom. Everything was normal. Then I picked up my notebook and wanted to write everything down that just happened but then these words were already written THE ABANDONED TāRAKONA\DRAGON!!!!
