I was a lonely college student. I had nobody. I was sad and miserable. My life cycle was something like this: wake up, have breakfast and shower, go to college, get back, do my homework and go to bed right after dinner. I worked to get money to pay for college. Life went back and forth and I am sure I would have gone crazy about 2 years ago if it wasn't my imagination keeping me up. Ever since I had a really hot dream about a she-dragon I could not stop imagining about her. I wanted to see her so much that when I saw a falling star one day, I wished I could. I knew it was impossible and that I had made a very, very dumb wish. Then again, all wishes were dumb because if you want something you have to work for it. And so, very disappointed, I returned home and went to bed, thinking that my wish was never going to come true. With that in mind, I drifted into sleep. Little did I know what a surprise was waiting for me.
I woke up on the next morning realizing that I was late for college I quickly prepared and just as I was about to leave I peeked at the time and date and then it hit me: I wasn't late for college because we didn't have college. The 1 month vacation had begun. I quickly unpacked and just dropped on my bed, thinking how I was going to spend this vacation. I usually would have gone to work, but this month I didn't feel like it at all, which was concerning but not too much since I had some money left. So I decided to play some videogames on my PC. I spent 3 days playing without sleeping at all. I knew it was wrong but I just couldn't help it. I probably would have kept playing on and on and on, but a power cut came out of the blue. I was confused as the last power cut I had was more than a year ago, but I thought that the world is somehow trying to protect me from raging since I was losing at that moment. I am not the type of person that will rage about losing a game though, so I got even more confused, but then I decided to go to sleep and think about it in the morning. I went to bed and just I was about to drift in sleep, I heard a low growling sound. This scared me so much I was about to call the police. Then my rational thought kicked in and I concluded that it will be very dumb if I called the police since I had been playing videogames for 3 days and it was probably my mind just re-producing the horror content in the horror games. So I just ignored the growl and went back to trying to fall asleep. But the sound was heard again, supported by a touch on my shoulder. I was petrified but still turned over to see what it was. I was met by something with a pair of glowing blue eyes blue skin, and an open mouth full of sharp teeth. It scared me even more (if that was even possible). Then the thing came closer and I realized it was the she-dragon from my dream. That completely turned everything around. I now tried to touch her and in the try I almost lost my arm. Someone wasn't in very good mood. She opened her mouth and tried to eat me. I accidentally touched her upper jaw in my try to defend myself. And then something happened. I guess I somehow shared my dream with her because we went through it as spectators. Back in real life I was very exhausted and collapsed onto my bed defenselessly. I thought it was my end but when I looked up I was her. She was like frozen. And then very slowly she closed her mouth. I was so relieved to see that. And then I heard a voice, gentle like silk, in my head.
"Soooo…. you have had a hot dream about me?", she said.
"Yes… were you actually going to eat me if you hadn't seen it?", I asked.
"Probably. But don't be mad, please."
"I am not mad. I am just scared. I don't think I can trust you.", I told her.
"Then what can I do to make you trust me again?", she asked.
"Why are you even trying… Umm…. What is your name?"
"Haven't you figured it out yet?"
"No."
"Ok then let me help you. Can you think of a precious stone that has the colour of my eyes and skin?", she asked.
"Sapphire?"
"Good. Now turn it into a female name."
"Saphira? YOU are Saphira? But where is…?"
"Eragon? We split up for a bit when I am in heat."
"I see. So that's why you were going to kill me? Because you were in heat? And how did you even get in here, Saphira?"
"To be honest, I am not sure. I am certain in one thing though. I want to fulfill your dream. Just give me a chance.", she said in her most erotic voice.
"Even if I gave you a chance, you still are…"
"Too big to fit you? Don't worry, I can fix that. You have to trust me. Open your mouth and close your eyes. It will only take a second."
I do what Saphira said and I feel a small drop of something very sweet go down my throat.
"What was that, Saphira?"
"Some of my dragon serum. It will turn you into a dragon but first you will have to sleep for 24 hours."
"Why so much time?"
"Ohhhh, someone is excited."
"Answer me, Saphi."
"I like that name. Ok, fine I will answer you just because you called me Saphi. So, there are so many types of dragon serum and all of them do something different. The one I gave you is the best one as it will allow you to have full control over your dragon body. And why do you even care? You will be sleeping anyways."
"Saphi…. I'm getting sleepy."
"Good. I will take you to my cave. And don't worry, I'll keep you save with my life though I don't think anyone will be attacking us anytime soon."
"Ok then. Good night, Saphi."
"Good night, little one."
"God, these are gonna be the longest 24 hours in my life", Saphira thinks as I fall into sleep.
