Theme for Oct 23/29: Returns

As this prompt returns after a brief pause, I'm reminded of the ways we come back to certain threads as we write. This week, use the concept of repeating, be it conceptual or literal, to fuel your words.

Two mages climbed a mountain.
Just as they reached the summit, they saw a curious creature.
"What a queer being, isn't it?" said one of them.

"Very queer, indeed!" replied the other. "Is it a flying lizzard?"

"It looks like a Hydra..."

"Oh, I remember! Isn't this queer monster a dragon?"

"Oh, yes! That's it! Wow. Cool!"

At this moment, the mages started to panic, because the dragon came out of a cloud, diving down towards them.
Their eyes were ablaze.
"How dare you deciding whether an individual is queer or not!? That is not up to you. Let everyone decide for themselves whether they are queer or not! Foul monsters!"

"But, but... O mighty monste.. I mean, dragon.." stammered the first mage, "We... we..."

"We merely said that you are a curious creature!" finished the second one.

For a short moment, the dragon was confused. Soon it dawned upon them...
"Ugh. You all should really update your vocabulary. Nobody uses 'queer' in that way anymore! Now, please leave me, and stop using that archaic nonsense!"
