Luna was laying her head on the wooden bed where her rider and best friend was sleeping. The white dragon couldn't close her eyes because of the deep worry that her human won't woke up.

After Meg had fallen into unconsciousness, Aby quickly carried her to Thor Island on Thorgard's back and then Meg disappeared into the healer's hut for hours. Luna was pacing around, cooing and growling, begging to see Meg. It was only after two long hours that the healer came out and told Aby that Meg was now out of danger but she needed to rest a lot. Luna hadn't wait a second to push the humans aside and ran to see her girl. She cooed, in hope it would woke her but in vain. Since then, the Light Fury hadn't left Meg's side.
It had been two days from now on. Aby came every hours to check on her friend, also trying to feed Luna but she wouldn't budge till she sees Meg giving a proof she was alive. The blond girl even cried, feeling guilty for the wound of the auburn girl. She wasn't able to protect her own self and so Meg did it for her.

-"I swear to Thor that someday, I'll protect you just like you did, even if it means giving my life. So please, wake up soon. Don't give up. Please Meg.", Aby prayed, holding Meg's hand.

A few tears fall on their intertwined hands, that Aby immediately dried. She took a deep breath and squeezed her hand one last time before letting go and walking toward the door. She patted Luna's head on the way.

-"She will wake up. She's a warrior. We just need to keep praying.", Aby murmured to the white dragon.

And with that, she left the room, leaving it in a deep silence, with only Luna's breath echoing.
Luna let her self close her eyes for a minute, purring to let Meg feel she was still here. But she felt a stir under her chin. She perked her ears and opened her eyes again.

Meg was moving.

The Light Fury got excited and nudged her rider gently with her snot, growling to encourage her.

-"Luna..?"

Luna cooed loudly and purred, starting to lick Meg's face. Meg chuckled at the sudden tickle but whined when she laughed. She pushed the blanket slowly off of her and saw her entire torso wrapped in bandages with a huge red stain.
She sighed. Her memories started to rush back to her brain, giving her a headache. She sat, moaning in pain, worrying Luna.

-"It's okay sweetie. I just need to take it easy. I also really need to breath cold air.", Meg mumbled.

She tried to stand but she hadn't fully recovered. She instantly fall on one knee, Luna able to caught her before she completely crashed on the floor. The dragon helped her stand straight and Meg leaned on her neck to help her walk.

They finally arrived outside. It was surprisingly sunny for an island full of Skrills and protected by Thor. She blinked to get adjust of the blinding light. Her ears rang before the living sounds of the village replaced the bip noise. She even heard her name.

-"Meg!"

She turned her head and saw Aby running toward her. The blond girl jumped on her, holding her tight. She winced when she felt the pressure on her chest. Aby realized and pushed her right away.

-"Oh gods I'm sorry! I'm just so relieved you're awake!", Aby shuttered.

-"It's okay, I'm okay. Don't worry.", Meg forced a smile, holding her aching guts.

-"You should rest more. Till your wound is fully healed.", Aby said.

-"I can't. I need to go home.", Meg sighed.

-"Not like this you are. I'm sure your mom would say the same.", Aby frowned.

-"Maybe but she doesn't know it and so that's one more reason to go back.", Meg groaned in pain, leaning almost totally on Luna, her forehead glistening with sweat.

-"Meg, be reasonable for once. We will warn your mother, don't worry. But for now you need to rest, your fever is coming back.", Aby came by Meg's side, feeling her forehead.

She was definitely burning.
Aby and Luna brought her back to her room and Meg fall asleep on the second her head hit the pillow. Luna stayed again by her side, this time she looked more relaxed now that her best friend had woken.

Aby smiled at the view and eclipsed and ran to her own room to write a letter. She hang it on a Terrible Terror leg and made him sniffing a piece of clothes from Meg.

-"Find the place where that smell comes from.", Aby said before letting the tiny dragon flying away.

She watched him until he was out of reach. She sighed. She tiptoed back to Meg's room and pushed the door carefully and took a glimpse inside.

The night was falling and only the candle light was lightening the room. She could still see Meg, sitting and awake again, hugging and petting Luna. She heard sobs and distinguished a tear on Meg's cheek.

-"I know Luna... I miss home too..", Meg whispered.

Aby bite her lip. Meg didn't want to talk about where she was living and how it was like, but Aby definitely understood the reasons now. Meg was only protecting what she loved and also the ones that she loved. She dearly cared about her home and also her mom as she is Meg's only family.

Aby closed the door and sighed. As much as she loved having a friend here, it wasn't fair for Meg and to try keeping her staying as long as possible.
She needed to say goodbye to her friend.
