Lmao I’d be dead af if I destroyed school property. We were playing with BB guns at a park after school and someone called 911 that there was a “gang war” in progress cuz we were wearing hoodies to protect our faces. Understandably, the park was adjacent to a school (our school), so a bunch of police cars rolled in and they pulled out their guns and demanded we drop our weapons. We got handcuffed and taken to school despite it being after hours, and we were summarily expelled the rest of the year.

I relate to the general fact that especially young kids don’t have a developed sense of right or wrong until taught so, nor do they think about consequences before doing things. In elementary school we used to bully the fat kids and crush crawdads or bumblebees just because it was fun. Some kids playing soccer stomped a garter snake to death because “snakes are bad”. Those dragons didn’t really know the world beyond their valley. As an adult I know better now.

I believe being able to relate to, or understand people in some small modicum is necessary. Some people may be impossible to reach a mutual understanding, or simply unhinged, but compromise is what builds bridges and bonds. Painting things only in black or white creates a divide of us vs them.

That aside, they were fictional dragons, fictional characters. I’m not too bothered by their demises. I’d be less bothered if they weren’t kids though.

That is a very small town square. How the heck would carriages pass through with that huge ass fountain blocking the road?

Cops getting mistaken calls about kids with BB guns happens. It’s the callers that make the mistake, the first responders coming onto the scene have to be prepared for the worst with what little information they have. Adults that vote on gun control laws don’t even know what the heck they’re doing, or what automatic weapons are, since most laws only ban things that look like them, creating loopholes if parts look wooden, or other dumb things. EDIT: I’ll add that adults are just scared creatures and have their own set of worries. Nobody wants to really be the guy to come close and check if those are real guns, nor do they want the risk of those being real gang members in a park shooting each other to go unnoticed by people that should be dealing with such things.

But yeah. The police had to hand us to the school since they’re reportedly responsible for us until we get home, and since we had “projectile” weapons on school property, we were automatically expelled. The school defined anything that intentionally launches a projectile by design as a “projectile weapon”, regardless of what mechanism is used. So yeah. The police handled us as professionally as possible. By loophole, if we had lied and said we went home, got the BB guns, then went to the park, we’d have been fine. But we were dumb kids trying to have fun, and got a pretty harsh punishment for it, considering it was our first offense. But the rules don’t care. BB guns are guns, and steak knives are knives, both of which are illegal to have in schools afaik.

Spoiled because it’s off topic, this has nothing to do with the chapter.

I want to see the dragons parent's reaction to the news. I was honestly expecting the next chapter to have an enraged dragon community preparing to annihilate the humans for killing one of the few female dragons (and a child at that).
But with that ending, I guess not.

Now Mythbusters doesn't have to do a segment on modern military hardware vs. ancient mythological beasts! 🤩

I'm glad the police officers handled that so professional, but being expelled, because A) for a formal reason, as you didn't lie (Nice adult world we are living in right?) and B) for that rather minor offence (it was an offence, but come on).
I believe, judging from your story, they tried to create an example. ("Don't bring ANY kind of weapon to school.") In other schools pupils beat up, threaten, extort and blackmail other pupils and even though they get caught, they just have to write an essay about their misdeeds or are suspended for a week or something. And afterwards they happily continue. Such persons should be expelled (for good). An essay and/or a suspension for a few days would have been more then enough in your and your friend's case. I mean, the story with the police was shockingly enough for you, as you remember it for your whole life. Instead they choose to hurt your school career for fooling around like a kid/teen/(even young adult) should. That was unreasonable harsh.
