-Hello Everybody-

Edited by Plom510

About two months have passed since Lord Brevon was defeated and I'm still shaken up about it, it sure has been one crazy ride. That is how I would explain my life. Hey, let me introduce myself first, whether you've heard of me or not, I personally don't care. My name is Sash Lilac, I'm a fifteen year old girl, and I'm a water dragon. I'm not too big into the whole explanation thing, especially when my past is concerned, so if you were expecting a life story of me musing on how crappy my childhood was, well… this isn't the story for you. Hell, you might be one of those people who don't give a crap about plot and honestly rather have non-stop action, not the 'slice of life' kind of person it seems… then I'll kindly ask you to just leave, maybe try reading a more serious and in-depth story. Also if you're sensitive with certain words, then for the most part you're alright. However, I can't promise you that there won't be an occasional swear, but don't worry, I'll keep it nice and kid-friendly for you. After all, I live with a child, so I suppose I'd have no choice anyways.

Anyway, my name is Sash Lilac. I live in a cozy treehouse at Dragon Valley. It doesn't snow or get cold for that matter, which I like, being a water dragon and all. I live with my two closest friends, an admittedly wild, mischievous, and blunt, however very loyal wildcat named Carol Tea; and as of recently a kind, shy, and sweet basset hound named Milla Basset. Normally, we just hang out and just explore. It may seem that after saving Avalice from certain doom would give us more luxurious and adventurous lives, but the reality is that we're just a group of kids living on our own. True, I won't deny that I miss my family and I'm sure the same goes for Carol and Milla, however there's still benefits. For starters you can say we grew up quick and we're very independent, though at the same time, I don't think eating plates of sushi and watching movies day in and day out would be considered very "adult-like".

So yeah, not a very interesting life, well, yeah the above is honestly our daily lives, however that doesn't mean nothing interesting happens. Like, we've saved people and even helped out a detective solve a mystery before and recently we defeated a freaking alien warlord, like how can you say that's not awesome?! Also even after Brevon's defeat, mutants and machines still roam through Avalice, reaching places that we've never seen, after all Shang Mu, Shang Tu and Shuigang aren't the only kingdoms on this planet. There's places we haven't seen and as sad as it is to confess, I don't remember ever being anywhere outside of the three kingdoms. I was born, raised, and… arrested, if you count that for something, in the three kingdoms. I think Carol told me that her family originated outside the three kingdoms, and here I am clueless of what's out there. Milla likely didn't originate from the three kingdoms. At least her clothing implies this, like I highly doubt she has some fetish, which in hindsight would be quite disturbing.

I don't want to think about that.

So enough introductions, because that just took a disturbing turn. Here's a small story, nothing big just a little… uh, you can say journal entry from like a few days ago I guess:

I was making my way back home, carrying a bunch of groceries and other supplies. Carol have gotten a small cold days prior, so I would have to get food and medicine for her.

The cold should've left by now, I was worried that it was actually a flu, and even if she didn't have the flu, I'll would have to force her to take the shot anyways, whether she likes it or not. Frankly, she doesn't like needles. I never took the shot because I usually wouldn't need it. Dragons have very strong immune systems. We have close to no diseases, except for a few chronic ones, which from what I've heard are quite unpleasant.

I've arrived back at the treehouse and when I entered the house, it was quiet and empty. It made me feel uneasy, even more so because it's my own house. For all I knew it could've been an intruder. It didn't quite help that I don't have Carol or Milla's senses. I looked all over the house, nothing. I finally entered the bedroom, with Milla's bed next to the window and Carol and mine's bunk bed at the opposite corner, however Carol wasn't on her bed like she was supposed to be.

Investigating the bed, I noticed it was still warm, which relieved me because it meant that she didn't get far, I only hoped she was all right. I was going to rush out, until…

"Hey there Lilac!" Carol and Milla suddenly appeared in front of me.

"WHAT THE $# !?" I yelled. Carol and Milla looked at me as if I was crazy.

"Uh, you're all right there, Miss Heropants?"

"What the hell Carol! You scared the crap out of me, why were you sneaking up on me like that? Damn!"

"Well, we were just going to surprise you with a lot of sushi and soda! Like we usually do, however this time it's special."

"By appearing out of nowhere as though we were in a freaking horror movie?!"

Milla steps in Carol's defense, "We're sorry Lilac, we just wanted to give you a good night. You've been acting strange since what happened two months ago. We just want you to be alright."

"Yeah, nightmares are one thing, but you've been kinda aloof these days. Sure we still hang out but it's like all of that crazy alien stuff just changed you. You just need to loosen up."

They're right. I suppose it's because I've been thinking so much, ever since Brevon, I've been thinking about everything and although I have the best intentions for my behavior, it's not what they need. They need a friend, not a guardian, those were my thoughts before I replied, "You're right, so what did you have in mind?", my tone was more bright and lively.

"Well that's more like it! Honestly just the usual, Sushi, Soda, Chips and a Movie night! Like the good ol' times!"
