Third Dragon: Endymion

Amlan returns to the Red Planet to once-more (final-time) engage that 'dragon-alien' and makes for a discovery in castles.

Fanfiction of Alien and my 3rd installment in the Alien/Dragon trilogy I began on WritersCafe with the original The Dragon: Invasion by Cleats and followed with the first sequel Dragon-II: Weyland's Thought. Thanks for reading!

WEYLAND: You know why we called you in here for this pre-media prep, Amlan?

AMLAN: Given my record of performances with that Martian redline dragon.

WEYLAND: Selfie-like (sure).

AMLAN: This was my 3rd/final mission, from which I'm grateful to leave-behind!

WEYLAND: The first two were near-successes, wouldn't you say?

AMLAN: Surely Selfie-like.

WEYLAND: You wondered with omens about this final one for you, yes?

AMLAN: You said it.

WEYLAND: Said this "Dragon" devil on Mars may not warrant such liberties/quests.

AMLAN: I'd already engaged with him/it twice of course.

WEYLAND: We know.

AMLAN: You said it.

WEYLAND: This one (final-one for you) had art; you discovered the alien's name!

AMLAN: Facebook-like (ok).

WEYLAND: The 'dragon' named itself/himself 'Endymion' you reported, Amlan.

AMLAN: I feel fortunate...like Pinocchio?

WEYLAND: Ha.

AMLAN: Maybe he 'borrowed' the name from Earth-fantasy/media, ok.

WEYLAND: He let you return after conferring you liked chess as he did.

AMLAN: It was the price for the discovery of his eternity-sounding name.

WEYLAND Aha.

AMLAN: Me thinks 'Endymion' the dragon-alien had fingerprints on the brain.

WEYLAND: Good (arts).

AMLAN: He praised Sicilian/American pizza.

WEYLAND: Spying on us hyper-humans for lines, eh?

AMLAN: My life-work is complete, for the company (all).

WEYLAND: We're sure of that...and your Brussels retirement too.

AMLAN: Excellence for mysteries of the darkness (space).

WEYLAND: Are you anxious, Amlan?

AMLAN: Only for pizza (leviathan).

WEYLAND: Good (hospitality-read).
