That time, when I locked myself in my room to run away from my problems, I cried. I cried because no one believed in me.I was accused of lying.
I went to my window to calm myself down, wiped all my tears, and acted like nothing happened. I gazed at the clear blue sky, and there I saw it. Such a beautiful creäture covered in white cloud-like scales. It's pure whiteness made it unnoticeable and make you think it's just a cloud. It mesmerized me as it dances through the winds and skies.
It cheered me and made me call it, "Hey!" ... but when it noticed me, it disappeared. I was alone again.
Another rainy day came, it appeared again. This time it came in dark gray. It was crying. It's tears went down and my heart sank. I want to cheer it up but there's nothing I can do.
The morning broke, and many of our relatives came over. Mostly brought presents and the others brought none. I once more stare at the clear blue sky but the dragon wasn't there. I waited and waited but still it has not seem to appear.
The music finally starts, and everyone began to dance. I hated it when I'm alone. Seeing everyone so happy made me I don't belong here. I held up my head and see a boy in the same age as I am. His complexion is as white as the clouds and his eyes as green-gray as the clear river. I feel nostalgic. He bowed and offered me his hand saying he's asking for a dance. So I took hold of his hand .
Music bends, confusion came to me. I don't understand, but I feel at ease and happy. "Have... have we met somewhe-" without thinking, words popped out from my mouth. I wanted to apologized but he just smile and continues to dance. I want to know him. I wanted to...
Everyone cheered and the music stopped. The boy who I danced with vanished. I looked over the crowd to look for him but I couldn't find him anywhere.
I clench my hands and I felt something was there. In my hand I held a silver scale. I don't know how I got it but I know it belongs to him.
Days passed, still I have not seen the boy nor the dragon I saw that day. Why am I feeling lonely?
3 years later, I took over the place as the new head in the family. I'm slowly getting to understand my family's business.
