How are you guys? I'm tired but thrilled that my dad is home for the weekend. :3

So the story Yuma is talking about in this chapter is COMPLETELY made up. Unless there is a story like this, which a doubt, so just telling you that it's made up. Fun, fun. Maybe I'll write a story like it when I'm older…

I own nothing. Enjoy~!

Word used: "Fantasy"

"What are you reading?"

Yuma looked up at me with excited red eyes and smiled. "A fantasy book from my childhood. It was one of my favorites."

I tilted my head. "Fantasy?"

He grinned. "Yeah. It's like a book genre. In it, things that could never happen in real life happen." He closed the book with one finger on the page where he left off on was and held it close to his chest. "Dragons and witches, princes and princesses, knights and so much more!" he grinned at me. "That kind of stuff. I've always loved fantasy. The best part is that fantasy books always have a happy end-no exceptions, as far as I've seen."

"And what is that one about?"

He looked at the cover, which was a plain black with the words "Dragon Child" scrawled in gold. "It's about this young boy who is shunned by everyone save his mother simply because he had dragon blood in his veins. They could tell because of his bloody red eyes that had flecks of gold in them. When he turned 13, his mother fell ill and died and he goes on an adventure, meeting dragons and humans and eventually falling in love with this girl who was a fire nymph. Then she's taken from him and he goes to save her, learning all of his hidden abilities, such as the ability to breathe fire and turn into a dragon at will among others."

"It sounds intriguing," I admitted.

He nodded. "Yeah! That's why I like it." He opened it back to the page he was on and traced the worn edges of the page softly. "Father used to read it to me sometimes. When I asked why he always chose this particular book, he said he liked the sense of adventure in it. He also likes the main character's half-sister." He grinned at me. "My name is actually close to his half-sister's, which dad always found it funny when he read about her."

"What was his name?"

"Yuuka." Yuma smiled. "Pretty close. Just one letter off."

"What role does she play?"

Yuma frowned, looking back at the book. "She was the bad guy. She despised her brother for having human blood, so she tried to kill him. When all attempts failed, she kidnapped the nymph to lead him to her. In the end, though, he was unable to kill Yuuka and ended up sealing her away forever. Dad said he likes her because even though she was trying to kill her brother, she expressed a love for adventure and artifacts, proven when she barely managed to save an ancient dragon artifact her brother nearly broke, and artifact she flew to the top of a very tall mountain and survived traps that nearly took her life several times to achieve."

I chuckled. "I see."

"Maybe I can read it to you one day, Astral," he said, closing the book, "But right now, I'm tired."

"I'd like that, Yuma," I said, returning to the key as he fell asleep.

Theabridgedkuriboh: poor Yuma~! XD and thanks! Although, I think "Save Me Yuma" is going to have a lot of spoilers for later episodes, I'll definitely use it.

vividRegulator: thank you! And yeah, that'd be appreciated. I don't want this to end either. I'm having too much fun!

Emilio: thanks!
