The young people who invaded the sacred lands are left ...
Yuugi's father finds out ...
Yukiko discovers that Yuugi ...
Chapter 2 - Making a wish come true
When they see the scene, they are terrified and start running from the place, because they feared that the young woman was the daughter of the Moon Goddess and did not want to suffer divine punishment for having entered the sacred ground.
In the meantime, some members of the part of the group that stayed behind, move away from the others and run desperately towards the village, looking for the High Priest and when they find him, they kneel and cry out forgiveness to the Gods for the attempt to invade the sacred lands, while the others left the place, knowing that the High Priest would come to them.
In the village, Yuugi's father could not accurately understand the youth's commotion and their despair at being so terrified that they could not articulate any coherent sentence, causing the High Priest to struggle to understand what they were saying.
After a few minutes, he is able to understand their despair and immediately runs to the limits of the sacred land and when he arrives at the site, he is astonished to see some young people running from inside the sacred lands, identifying all of them. When the youths see the High Priest they fall on their knees in front of him, desperately crying out to him to intercede with the Gods not to be punished, with them giving priority to the Moon Goddess, leaving him confused.
Then, seeing that they seemed to partially calm down, the High Priest arches his brow and asks:
"Why do you want forgiveness, first, from the Moon Goddess and then from the other Gods?"
"The daughter of the Moon Goddess is with her son and we fear that she saw our invasion. We want to beg for mercy."
"Daughter of the Moon Goddess?" He asks, appalled.
"Yes."
Then, he enters the sacred lands and hears the laughter of his beloved son and another laughter that was feminine.
The High Priest slowly advances and then sees the girl with white hair and blue eyes, showing a crescent moon symbol on her forehead and a beautiful plush blue dress with edges made of cotton, although it appeared to be made of clouds and not of cotton, while she was wearing beautiful jewels, making the high priest believe that she was the Goddess of the Moon or her daughter by her young appearance.
Quickly, he goes to his son and the girl with the children and they are terrified to see him.
Yukiko trembled with fear until Yuugi's father fell to his knees and then bowed his forehead, supporting both hands in front of him, speaking humbly:
"I apologize for the transgression of some young people in the sacred lands, daughter of the Moon Goddess. They will be punished accordingly. I want to demonstrate our immense happiness for your coming."
She stops shaking and looks with confusion on her face at her friend who whispers in her ear:
"My father thinks you are the daughter of the Moon Goddess because of the Moon symbol on your forehead. Let's just let him think that. That way, you'll be safe."
She is hesitant, but then agrees, as Yuugi's father speaking in a clemency tone:
"Please show your respect before the daughter of the Moon Goddess."
The young man was going to bow when the albino stopped him, resolving to embody his role as a sacred entity.
"I am the daughter of the Moon Goddess and my will is law. Yuugi is the only one who will not bow in my presence. I miss playing. I am the only young woman among the Gods and I chose the earthly son of my honorable mother to play with me."
"She's looking forward to the Festival."
"It will be spectacular. I would like to request authorization to leave. I need to punish those who invaded the sacred lands. This crime is unforgivable. They will be punished according to their age."
"You have my authorization." She speaks in a superior tone."
"Thank you very much."
The high priest thanks and leaves without turning his back, just turning away from her and after making sure he is away, she asks Yuugi expectantly:
"What did you think of my representation? I used everything you taught me about your Gods."
"It was very believable!"
"Thanks."
"Well, we won't have to think about food again. I believe that we will have a procession of offerings."
"Well, I like fishing and I don't intend to give it up."
"We don't need to stop doing that. I'm going to leave our sticks there." He speaks smiling, making her smile."
Two months later, Yukiko had left the sacred lands with Yuugi. The people were not surprised, because in theory, her house was on the sacred lands and because of that, she wanted to stay there.
The group that had invaded the sacred lands was exemplarily punished, as well as those who knew about the invasion and those who accompanied them for not warning the authorities about the act, at least, disrespectful, because those who fled were denounced by others and after being guilt was proven, they had punishments proportional to their ages.
Almost a year passed and the friendship between Yukiko and Yuugi grew more and more, as they became the best friends and in proportion to the growth of the friendship between them, the instinct of protection of the albino towards the human that he thought was cute, agreeing with the fact that she loved cute things.
With the advent of the months, the white dragon remembered the execution of certain spells, although he did not know the origin of his knowledge and if it was magic.
She concentrates and creates a kind of crystalline bracelet that would be invisible to the eyes of others, being visible only to Yuugi who is fascinated with the object.
Then he asks:
"Why invisible to others?"
"I do not know. It just happened. That was not my intention." She speaks with evident confusion in her face. "I don't even know how I can use these techniques."
In this, both look at the creatures made of ice crystals that emerged from the icy wind that the dragon made to emerge from its breath and that took the form of animals, walking from one side to the other and that were endowed with an ephemeral life.
The animals amused Yuugi who cuddled them under Yukiko's kind gaze, who also appreciated them and had fun with his friend.
The next day, they are lying on a soft grass in the lands considered sacred, enjoying the light breeze that blew at that moment and that made some hair of the albino dance with the breeze that blew, being that they were close to a part of the sacred lands that gave access to one of the several precipices that surrounded the village.
At that moment, Yuugi looked at the sky and commented on the oddly shaped clouds with her naming the clouds, too, while enjoying the feeling of peace and the pleasant sounds of nature around them.
Despite looking as relaxed as her friend, Yukiko was thoughtful, occasionally leaving her thoughts to comment on the shape of the clouds.
After all, last night, she had some flashes that looked like memories.
Sure, they were fragmented and seemed disconnected, but she firmly believed that they were memories of her past. A past she wanted to remember as soon as possible.
Initially, she saw a beautiful palace that seemed to be made of crystal and that gave the feeling of peace. He also saw people, although they were not clear. Then, she saw a couple and when she saw them, even though their appearance was blurred, she felt an intense happiness, for later, her tears of happiness become of pain, with the cry of a baby echoing in the environment, although not could discover the origin.
Then, the scene was cut for a monster, in the best definition that she had, being able to distinguish a black body, although it looked like a dragon and that had cruel eyes. Eyes that startled her. Then there was nothingness, with her being overwhelmed by the feeling of loneliness that was overwhelming until she heard a kind and gentle voice that resonated where she was.
For some reason, that voice reminded her of Yuugi, while for some unknown reason, she was unable to recognize the words.
Then, all she saw was more destruction and another monster that was misshapen, making her question whether she was misshapen because of her fragmented memories or was it his appearance and as she saw it, she felt pain and despair.
When this inconstant and fragmented flow ended, leading her to various feelings that arose in her chest, she woke up abruptly with the hair soaked by sweat, while her muzzle was moist with tears, with the sensations lingering for several minutes, even after wake up.
Yukiko had even debated with herself whether she should reveal to Yuugi the dreams she had, because she believed they were memories of her forgotten past.
When she sees her friend's happy and relaxed face, she decides to leave it to tell at another time, because she didn't want to see him worried or sad.
After all, I knew what his heart was like and so I imagined the possible reactions he would have if he knew about her dreams or nightmares, depending on the follow-up of the memories that had arisen.
She comes out of her thoughts, when she hears the voice of her friend who commented while looking at a flock of birds that flew across the sky.
"It must be so cool to fly through the sky. You and the birds are so lucky to be able to fly. I so wanted to fly through the sky."
He widens his eyes when he sees that he commented what he most wanted and covers his mouth with his hands, looking out of the corner of his eye at the albino, showing concern in his amethyst eyes.
She asks, arching her brow, as she sits on the grass, trying to understand why Yuugi acted like that after confessing her desire to fly across the sky like birds:
"Aren't you afraid of heights?"
"No. I was always curious to have the same view of birds when they fly through the sky."
"You should have told me about your dream, Yuugi" She speaks with a slight reproach in her voice. "This is an easy wish to fulfill. As you never commented on your desire to fly, I mistakenly thought that you did not appreciate high places and did not want you to feel embarrassed when confessing your fear of heights."
The young man is embarrassed and taps his index fingers on each other, after sitting down, turning her face away, the slight flush on her cheeks being visible:
"Is that to do that, I would have to ride on your back and you are my friend. My first and only friend. I find it disrespectful, in addition to not wanting to lose our friendship. After all, you are not an animal to be ridden."
Yukiko sighs and speaks, standing up, while smiling gently at his friend:
"Yuugi, you are my dear friend. Never forget that. I would be more than happy to show the world from above. I would definitely have fun taking you on my back. The world is wonderful when viewed from above and I love to fly. I love the feeling of the wind in my body and I feel at peace when I fly. I would be very happy to share that peace and vision with you. I would not be offended to take him on my back because we are friends."
Then she reaches out and asks with a gentle smile:
"Would you like to fly with me, Yuugi?"
He is surprised, then smiles, consenting:
"Yes" He takes her hand that helps him to get up, and then, the boy shows concern in his face, making the albino raise his frown. "Are you sure you won't feel bad about carrying me on your back?"
"No" She says gently and takes his hand, with both of them approaching the edge of the cliff.
Then, it takes on its true form and Yuugi notices that her friend concentrates, magically appearing a kind of crystal saddle that was padded in the blue color from where thick blue strips with golden details, part of which braided the his chest, while one of them wrapped his chest like a band and two of them each surrounded the joint of his front arms, the fact that it was considerably tight was visible, and then he saw blue strips that appeared to appear from the saddle, with her trying to lay her shaggy belly on the floor, so that her body would be straight, aiming to help her friend to climb into the saddle.
"Yukiko?"
"I need to prevent you from falling off my back. Use the saddle and attach your body to these straps, just in case."
"A saddle? But ..." He is dismayed to see the saddle and feels bad, however much it was his friend's idea.
She sighs and speaks, turning her muzzle to him, making Yuugi look at her sapphire eyes that showed kindness:
"I won't be able to fly properly if I have to worry about you. After all, the winds are quite strong. It is impossible for you to remain on my back without the aid of a saddle. She is not bothering me."
He sighs, not enjoying the idea of the saddle, although he understands her concern.
Then, resigned, the child climbs into the saddle, realizing that she was looking at him attentively as she turned his long neck, to make sure he was properly secured by the safety straps, and then to turn his head forward while walking half biped to the edge.
Yuugi held on to the saddle when she partially lifted her spine and saw a smile in her jaws as she turned her muzzle, with him seeing that her sapphire orbs glowed with amusement, the fact that she was immensely happy.
"Are you ready, Yuugi?"
