Meg woke up with her head throbbing. She whined and tried to move but winced when she felt a sting pain in her left arm. She blinked and leaned her eyes on it. It was wrapped. She sighed but suddenly tended. She sat up in a second and looked around her. She was in a house. Small but still cozy. She was in bed too. She searched for anyone but no one was near.
Her head hurt and she whined and put a hand on it. But she immediately froze.

-"Luna?!"

Meg ignored her head and got out of bed and ran out of the house.

-"LUNA!", she called.

People were surrounding her. Houses everywhere. She started to panic. She tried to reach for her sword but it wasn't on her hip. She groaned and ran all over the village. Until she heard a familiar roar.

-"Luna!"

She ran toward the sound and found her dragon laying on the ground, a splint around her wing. She laughed of relief and jumped on her dragon. Luna also looked relieved and licked Meg's face.

-"Yeah yeah, I was so worried too. My sweetie! I'm so sorry! I'll get you outta here I promise."

Luna purred. Then her ears perked up and she roared at something behind Meg. Meg turned around and saw the Skrill she saved standing right in front of her, her wings wide open.

She frowned and put a hand on Luna's head to calm her down. She reached gently her hand gently to the blue dragon, avoiding his eyes. The Skrill roared then stilled, before leaning his head against her palm and purring. Meg sighed and caressed gently his scaly head.

-"I see you woke up."

Meg froze and turned her head. A girl was standing a few feet away and watched her with a big smile. Meg put herself in front of the dragons as to protect them in case to.

-"Hey hey, it's okay, I'm not gonna hurt these dragon. In fact, that Skrill is my dragon.", she said calmly.

The Skrill jumped and then ran to the girl, pushing Meg on the side harshly. The blue dragon rubbed his face against the blond girl and she hugged him back.

-"This is Thorgard. He's my best friend.", the girl assured.

Meg relaxed a bit but still stayed in front of Luna.

-"He's still young so he likes to play a lot. He has been trying to play with your dragon but apparently she doesn't seem as excited as Thorgard tho. I think he doesn't understand that your dragon is actually hurt and it's annoying your dragon. He hadn't stopping roaring at her haha.", the girl chuckled.

The Skrill ran back in front of Luna, making Meg walked away. She looked at it poking Luna's ears running all around her. It's true that Luna didn't seem quite amused. Meg blinked and just looked at them. Her headache rushed back and she whined, putting a hand on her forehead. The other girl care by her side and helped her sitting on her rock near them.

-"You've been hit on the head and your arm is broken. You really should rest.", the girl spoke gently.

Meg groaned and sighed. She stared at her feet. She couldn't stay here for too long. Her mom will be deadly worried. She knows she said to her she was on an adventure but it wasn't supposed to last so any days.

-"Aby."

Meg snapped out of her thought and looked up at the girl.

-"I'm Aby. My name is Aby. Aby Unfrid.", she smiled, handing her hand to her.

Meg hesitated and turned her head to look at the dragons.

-"Meg.", she said flatly.

Astrid pulled back her hand awkwardly and moved on her feet nervously. She looked at Luna and Thorgard playing, at least Thorgard.

-"They are becoming friends I think. Thorgard likes your dragon. By the way, what's the species of your dragon? Cause she looks beautiful! I never saw a dragon that beautiful before!", Astrid said enthusiastically.

-"How did you become friend with your dragon?", Meg said coldly, without even turning her head.

-"Oh. Well, I was probably 10 when I almost fall from a cliff. No one was around me and I couldn't hang for too long. Till a baby Skrill pulled me back. Once I was back on the grass, we looked at each other for a while and then she left. He was alone. I was surprised a baby was without his mom. So I got curious and followed him. And bit by bit, I started to connect with him and we bonded and became best friend. Now I'm not going anywhere without her."

-"Hm."

Awkward silence.
-"Thank you for saving me and Thorgard. We got surprised by a hunter ship and they captured us. I managed to free Thorgard but got caught in the process. So really, thank you.", Aby said sincerely.

-"I was only trying to save your dragon.", Meg said as cold as before.

-"Oh. Still. Thanks. He's my best friend. I can't imagine being away from her."

-"Really?", Meg finally showed some interest in her words.

-"Yes! Everything change since he's in my life. And for the best.", Aby smiled.

-"And your village didn't do anything? Like trying to kill her for example?", Meg frowned confused.

-"Gods no! Our village is friendly to dragon. We don't kill them. We help them."

-"Hn, of course.", Meg chuckled sarcastically.

-"Yeah I swear. Hey, come on, I'll show you.", Aby took Meg's good arm and pulled her on her feet.

-"Hey, where are you taking me?!", Meg said, not really appreciating the fact being pulled.

-"I'll show you my village. And prove to you that there aren't only dragon killers out there.", Aby winked at her.

Meg raised her eyebrows.
Was this girl really going to try to change her mind?
