Aines took a deep breath, exhaling the cool air of the quiet open area he was sitting in. Children of all kind ran around him, some played with kites while others lightly roughhoused with each other. At one point, a boy was climbing on his back. The forgotten dragon agreed to watch the children from a nearby local daycare until their caretaker returned from the errand they were on.
Resting his head in his hand while sitting crisscrossed, he chucked to himself. It was just like this in Heaven where he'd enjoy some nice quality time with his only friend up there. There was no fighting, just coping with whatever came. Suddenly, a small finger tip tapped on his large shoulder.
'Sir, it's too sunny out now. Way too hot, can we move so we can keep playing'?
Looking up at the sky, Aines laughed. It sure was hot out today. Extremely sunny as well...
"No need, little man," was all he said as he extended his arm upwards. A low growl burned through the air as he muttered one of his favorite words: "Blackout." Suddenly, from every dark crevice in the ground, the shadows shook as darkness rose up into the air. From his extended hand, dark blue substance joined the ensemble of darkness until the sky above the kids was partially covered, providing shade of blue and black. While not enough to completely block out the sunlight, it was enough for the temperature to drop a few degrees. For dramatic effect, he put in effort to change the color of everyone's shadows near him to true blue. It seemed to appease the kids; they kept playing, so Aines went back to relaxing, ignoring the question stares he was getting.
Just about to doze off, he felt someone approaching.
"Here to play too? There's room right here," Aines patted the ground beside him, "Come on and enjoy the shade. And the light."
