Waking up in the drawing room Dragon wakes up to mornings lights shining into the room as the sounds of ocean waves strike the cliff. "You're awake Dragon." Travanna says walking into the room.
"Yes I must have been really tired I have never been that tired before then again those currents wore me out yesterday to."
"Well you're all fresh now so why don't you go change clothes and maybe go out for a while."
"Travanna your not trying to get me out of the castle are you?"
"No I thought you might want to wander around to day and take it easy after getting caught in that storm yesterday that tossed you around so bad in the ocean."
"I could use a bit of tranquility after the storm yesterday and what?" Dragon says as something catches her eyes out on the beach.
"What Dragon do you see something out on the beach?"
"Yes it looks like a man but I can't tell well from this vantage point stay here I'll be back in a minute." Dragon says hurrying down to the beach.
"Don't be too disappointed when you see it's not the man you want but the face of another but this man is still the same one you have fallen in love with. I know you won't say it but you have fallen for him." Travanna says as she waits for Dragon to come back to the castle.
Hurrying down to the beach Dragon comes up upon the figure lying on the beach seeing his dark black hair a mess around his face she sees he is very pale and unconscious. "I'll help you back to my castle so you will be safe." Dragon says softly.
Picking him up she carries him back to the castle Travanna watches as Dragon comes back up to the castle. Looking at Dragon Travanna can see that she is still missing Author even though Dragon wouldn't say she does miss him she truly does miss him. Looking at Dragon Travanna can see that she was wishing it were Author she was bringing back up to the castle with her.
"I found this man on the beach help me get him to the guest room so he can sleep and wake up."
"Of course Dragon here let me help you get him to the guest room where he can relax and wake up with you looking after him."
"I think he will be fine on his own if you wish you may take care of him I have some work to finish up and I have a dance practice this afternoon. The competition at the Starry night is coming up this weekend."
"Dragon you need to look after this man he is unconscious and washed up from a ship wreck that was who knows where out in the ocean. You can't just leave him here Dragon you're going to stay here and watch over him."
"He doesn't need me and you're the one who is better at taking care of people I have to go Travanna thank you for helping me." Dragon says leaving as she goes upstairs to her room and getting her dance bag for the club.
Waning to argue with her Travanna lets Dragon go to the club without lecturing her even though she really wants to. "Dragon you're so closed eyed its silly this man in front of you is the one your heart wants to have by its side. Open your eyes Dragon see with your hearts eyes and not your mind."
Carrying the man up to the guest room Travanna sets him on the bed and takes care of him looking after him and watching over him. "The lady of the castle Dragon is away and will return later I am Travanna." She says talking to him.
Thinking to herself, "Author I am sorry but there wasn't another way to get you and Dragon together again. Though my magic is strong I couldn't undo Lady Zavatrit's magic entirely. My magic was only able to take away some of her magic not all the rest is up to you to make Dragon see that you are the one she truly wants to be with."
Staying with Author Travanna hears Dragon coming back to the castle and entering in through the door by the driveway. "I'll be right back I have to go get something I'll be back in a few minutes." Travanna says leaving.
"Dragon." Travanna says in a stern voice as she approaches the door to the driveway.
"What Travanna? I had a dance competition to rehearse for."
"Dragon you are so annoying and infuriating sometimes you drive me half mad. You have a man upstairs who is unconscious and your being a stubborn I don't know but something anyway that is stubborn. Get your butt upstairs and look after him before I kick it up the stairs myself and you know I will. Now move your butt."
Moving quickly upstairs Dragon knows when not to push Travanna, "Alright I'm going."
"Good I really didn't want my foot to hurt from kicking you."
Going upstairs to the guest room Dragon enters seeing a man laying on the bed unconscious his black hair a bit out of place. Sitting beside him she looks over at him, "You must have been in quite a storm to have washed up here on this beach. Know you are welcome here and once you are strong enough you are free to leave." Dragon says getting up and leaving for her room.
Watching from afar Travanna watches Dragon go into her own room and closing the door behind her. "Dragon you are such a stubborn person why can't you open your eyes and see the wonders before you. I know he doesn't look like himself but it is him and you need to see that."
Walking out onto her balcony Dragon looks out over the ocean, "Author where are you I guess your safe where you are and it's time I returned back to New York my company needs me and I am sure your content wherever you are taking care of your company to good bye Author." Dragon says as she goes back into her room closing the doors to her balcony.
"Good morning Dragon can I get you some breakfast something to eat?"
"No but I'll have lunch later on Saturday four days from now I'm leaving for New York to go back to the company I have been away long enough."
"Dragon what about your guest upstairs?"
"He can stay here until he is able to go back home to wherever that is he is from. I will leave that to you to look after him after I go back to New York."
"At least spend sometime with him and let him know he is welcome here despite your acting colder than the snow queen."
"Very funny Travanna but it's time I quit dreaming about a man that will never come and get back to my company and complete some projects I have been working on for a while now."
"What was that?"
"I don't know you should go check."
"No you should Dragon go now he is after all he is your guest."
Going upstairs in silence she goes to the guest room and enters the room looking tat the man lying on the bed she does think he is handsome but not like Author whom she misses but wouldn't tell Travanna that to give her the rights to gloat for two weeks or more.
Seeing him waking up she goes to stand beside him looking at him, "He isn't Author but in a way he does look a little bit like him. Still he is not Author." Dragon thinks to herself.
Looking up at her his eyes bluer than the ocean it self staring at him she is lost in those eyes that are as deep as Authors for a second she sees him before her than this dark haired man laying before her.
"Welcome to my castle your welcome to stay as long as you need to your going to need something to wear there is a closet over there you can pick out a suit to wear. I'll leave you to get dressed and then you can meet me downstairs."
Looking at her he catches her arm silently asking her to say with him for a few minutes longer. "What?"
"Please stay." He says even though he can't talk still.
"You can't talk well I think we can still communicate and talk I'll go downstairs and I'll see you down in the landing." Dragon says leaving as she goes downstairs to find Travanna looking up at her from the landing with a stern look on her face yet again.
"What did I do now Travanna?"
"You are so stubborn that man up there is a good heart to and just because you miss Author doesn't give you the right to act like a total Oscar otherwise I'll have to turn you green and put you in a trash can."
"You wouldn't dare Travanna."
"Oh wouldn't I don't push me Dragon you know I will kick your butt if I have to. Don't even try to match skills with me I will out draw you every time and you know it."
Hearing footsteps on the stairs the both quit arguing and stare up at the man, "Oh he looks good wow that suit looks so nice on him." Travanna says stunned.
"Will you kindly pick your jaw up off the floor and quit drooling before I have to get a bucket and mop."
"Oh come on Dragon you have to admit he looks very good in that suit and his black hair suits that outfit well. Oh he has the muscles that fill out that jacket really nicely."
"Travanna if you don't stop drooling over him I'm going to have to get a bucket."
"Alright sorry Dragon he is just such a dish." Travanna says grinning as she moves towards the kitchen.
"Well your awake we should go into town for the day there are some nice places to dine at and sites to see."
"Dragon have I offended you somehow? Why are you being so cold to me?"
"I am sorry I'm tired and my mind is back in New York were my company is and projects I have going on and design work as well."
"She's laying sir she's actually missing someone whom recently left the castle and she's been pining after him ever since then." Travanna shouts from the kitchen with a laugh knowing she's irritated Dragon.
"Travanna!" Dragon shouts.
"Don't be mad at her she is only being herself she's funny and I like her. Dragon stay here with me please don't toss me away. Let me get to know you I won't hurt you Dragon."
"I know you are sincere in your words and I don't even know your name I can read your lips so I know what you're saying. What is your name?"
"I am Atlanto." He says hiding his name as he could tell it would upset her if he told her his real name.
"Nice to meet you Atlanto shall we go into town?"
"Yes please show me your home."
"Follow me my car is outside." Dragon says leading the way out to her car.
Getting into the car she drives into town, "Well Atlanto were in town would you like to go to there are many historical sites and restaurants if you're hungry."
"You sound like a tour guide come on loosen up I won't hurt you Dragon I like you even though I have only just met you I know your very kind hearted. I trust you Dragon without question."
Laughing a bit with a soft smile she looks at him truly glances at him for the first time she sees that he is a good person. Thinking to herself she smiles, "I haven't been that nice to him and I should be he is not the one I miss but I am enjoying having company again."
"Atlanto I haven't been very nice to you I am sorry I have been missing a friend."
"It's alright lets enjoy the day today its really nice out."
"It is nice today the sun is shining and the breeze is very nice if it weren't blowing it would be very hot out today."
"Dragon come your taking about the weather instead of having fun with me."
"You resemble a friend of mine who went back home and I have been missing them and their company."
"With me you see the person you were with before and the one you miss."
"Yes your honesty is very direct thank you."
"Your welcome why don't we go to that restaurant you like so much the one where you can eat in little Hawaiian huts."
"How did you know about that restaurant?"
"Travanna I think said something."
"She is a bit of a blabber mouth at times."
"Travanna is a good hearted blabber mouth she only wants you to be happy and to have fun and not hide your head in history and in work."
Going to the restaurant they sit down at the table and a waitress takes their drink orders and leaves them to talk for a while.
"Talk to me Dragon please."
"You are very kind I can tell that about you also that like me you have a great love for the sea."
"It inspires the imagination with its countless mysteries and wonders with all the legends and stories surrounding it. Makes us want to explore it all the more."
"Indeed my friend said the same thing once to Atlanto."
"A wise person indeed Dragon I am enjoying your company very much I like being with you. Dragon you're so beautiful and you have so many unique talents."
"Thank you I enjoy your company to I am sorry I was so cold earlier."
"It's alright Dragon I am enjoying the city it's very beautiful out here."
After lunch they go back to the castle, "Today has been fun I am going to go to the drawing room for a bit and relax."
Going up to his room Alanto goes out on the balcony easily finding his way around the castle like he somehow knows his way around the castle.
Sitting out on the balcony watching the sun set below the horizon watching as the moon rises encompassing the day into nights lights as moonlight shines across the beach and soon comes over to shine on him.
The light touching his feet from inside his shoes his feet start to grow slowly the leather of his shoes stretches. Looking down at his feet Alanto sees the leather of his shoes stretching, "What?" He says staring at his feet.
Screaming in pain as scales form on his ankles and his feet trying to remain awake he tries to take of his shoes his hands trembling against the pain as he tries to take them off. Sweat forming at his forehead as his face becomes pale his face. Now knowing what the lady meant when this magic would be painful to use to be with Dragon.
