Chapter Seven

Sparx's Influence

Thirty Years Ago?

Sunny Flight

Mirelth knew this was it. It was the end for him. He failed the test and more than depressed.

He stood on the top of the island, alone, just thinking of what he should do to the dragon's who picked on him. Ruby went to try to persuade the elder's to tell her if Mirelth passed or not, but he knew she wouldn't have any luck.

"Mirelth."

Mirelth turned, expecting to see Ruby, but saw a golden dragonfly instead. "Sparx?"

Sparx flew over to him as fast as he could then stopped a few inches in front of his eyes, "You did it Mirelth! I saw the elder's score-sheet and it said that they passed you!"

"Yeah but what's the point. I'm just going to be made fun of for the rest of my life. This means nothing to me anymore."

You see, Sparx had already known Mirelth and was one of the unique beings that always tried to make him feel better about himself. He never agreed to any of the dragon's even his partner who seemed to be the one who made up Mirelth's nickname, the dragon mop.

"Mirelth, you can't beat yourself up because of what others think about you."

"How can't I? They're always in my face about the way I look!"

Sparx shook his head but knew he was telling the truth, "Listen, you can't listen to them. You have so much to live for. Things will change in the future I know it will. You just have to ignore them. They'll soon understand that making fun of you is wrong and one day, they are all going to apologize to you."

"Somehow, I doubt that Sparx. Your really the only friend I have other than Ruby."

"And yet, both of you are alike. She is red. A dragonfly is not meant to be red. She's just like you Mirelth but she fights on through her life. There is going to be troubles along the road but don't let that stop you. Don't give up Mirelth."

"So that's what you think I'm doing?" Mirelth snorted. "Giving up? Your not the one who's being made fun of all the time. Your not the one who's the center of attention all the time because of the way you look. How would you know so much about my own life?"

Sparx uttered a short sigh then continued, "I know it's tough. But please, before you do anything reckless. Think about it before acting."

Then the small golden dragonfly left without another word, leaving Mirelth alone to think on what to do.
