Mollified

This is a short story by Mythies123. Yes, there is a scavenger in it, but not a overpowered warrior dragonhunter.
== Chapter 1 ==
Molly, a scavenger, clambered up a table leg and leaned on a dragon-sized cup, waiting. She scanned the broad, airy nest, admiring the delicate framework and wooden bowl of fruit. There was a strong smell of bird-dragon in the air, but there was no danger. Suddenly, heavy foot-steps pounded the branches outside. she stiffened and ducked behind a vase full of large, flat, orange flowers that smelled strongly of turnips.
It won't smell me out there with these flowers, she thought franticly, but I can't count on this vase to hide me if it comes in here. She waited, poised to run for her life. The dragon-proportioned door swung open to reveal another bird-dragon. Molly trembled at the sight of its sharp beak, pointy claws, and purple-green feathers... wait a minute! It was Peacock, her friendly bird-dragon!
"Peacock!" Molly squeaked, leaping off the table. Her dragon caught Molly, her razor-sharp claws carefully tucked away. Molly was set back down on the table. Peacock dipped her bird-like head and trilled something affectionate.
Molly slid across the table and leapt onto a trunk. She dangled herself off the edge and felt around with her foot until her found a nick. Peacock had slashed handholds in just about everything in the nest so Molly could climb around. She dropped onto the floor and crawled under the large trunk. She sneezed at the dust. She grabbed at a small hole in the bottom and pulled herself through.
This was her room. Lit by a single tiny candle, Molly's room was in a secret compartment underneath the storage area of the trunk. A tuft of feathers made her bed, a shard of glass was her mirror, and a sewing thimble was a water jug. The place was littered with feathers, ribbons, small jewels, and bits of food. A scavenger-sized chest, an old toy for a dragonet, was filled with the cloths she made from her trinkets. They included a squirrel-tail cloak, a dress of sky blue fabric, and an outfit with a short skirt and a dark top, which was what see always wore when she wandered the palace at night. There was also a gown tufted with feathers and tiny emeralds, but she never had a chance to wear it.
Molly looked at the candle. It lasted a day, so if she lit it at dawn, it should go out when it was time to go wander the palace. She took off the wrap of green cloth she was wearing now, put on her sneaking outfit, and tied her brown head fur up into a ponytail to keep it out of her equally brown eyes. Molly sat on her bed and watched the candle.
