Lys and the dragon stood in front of each other, they were just separated by few meters. She didn't really want to believe the wonderful white creature - she saw in her dreams - is standing in front of her by real. The exquisite glance of her purple eyes just was the exact same she remembered of. But she wasn't feared of her.
They were gazing each other for a long time. Finally, the dragon started off to her. Lys immediately knew what to do by instinct. When the creature got close to her, she lengthened her arm to her nose. The dragon in turn closed her eyes and held her head against Lys' hand.
She immediately knew they are friend now, and an invisible bond has formed between the two of them. With this courage, she dusted to stroke the dragon and scratch her chin. But when she got near her neck, for her surprise, the dragon has collapsed like a stack of flour. Luckily, it came out to do nothing bad with her, and she started rolling about the flowers.
"You scared me so much," she laughed. "How should I name you?" she thought while she was watching the playing dragon. She started to jump like a child and suddenly she sneezed from a daisy. "Ha! I got it!" she shouted in joy. "Daisy! I think it's match with you, because you are extremely beautiful and white like a daisy. Well, what do you think?" she looked at the dragon whose respond was to get a daisy and brought that to Lys. "I think it's established. It's Daisy," she smiled. "It's almost two o'clock!" she realized immediately. "I have a meeting with Auntyy Elsa. Do you fancy joining?"
She went back, and the dragon followed her. They got to the orphanage in a short time. "We had to get inside without any noise," Lys whispered to Daisy. In the meantime, she felt a little strange to speak to a dragon. "Let nobody see you except Auntyy Elsa. Maybe I can explain her, and she won't betray us, but I don't know what the others would react if they saw a dragon," Daisy listened all the words Lys said, and the girl just hoped she had understood them. She knew dragons are very clever creatures.
It is hard to get inside the building without any sensations in the middle of the day with a snow-white dragon, but Lys and Daisy succeeded. Luckily, most of the orphans are in their rooms because of the hotness, so the corridors were almost free. Just a girl was they met with, but she headed her way on the restroom and they hid behind the stairs, so she never got to know their whereabouts. They rushed up the stairs immediately for the first floor to the office of Auntyy Elsa. As they got in the room, Lys closed the door behind themselves as fast as she could and let out the kept-in air.
"Hugh, this was close," she wiped off the sweat tears from her forehead, then she glimpsed Auntyy Elsa who sat behind her desk as her mouth was opened. For her surprise she dropped her pen from her hand. "Don't say a word," Lys started. "I can explain,"
"No need," said Auntyy Elsa as she awaked from her dismay. "I can see now what it is about. But when did she arrive? And how did you make her smuggled?" she interested in the topic while she was observing the dragon like she had met with her before. Then it was Lys' turn for abashment.
"What?... Well, er… It was hard, but we managed to get inside by nobody seeing us, but... but I don't understand. Does Auntyy Elsa know Daisy? From where? And what is all this? I thought I should apologize, but it looks like I'm wrong, I know the least. Please, Auntyy Elsa! Tell me everything!"
"The thing is that I just wanted to talk about today was this, but the dragon… how did you called her? Daisy? She outran," laughed Auntyy Elsa. "Come on Lys, sit down and I tell you everything," The girl perched obedient in a comfortable armchair and patted the head of the rounding lying Daisy. In the meanwhile, Auntyy Elsa started narrating. "You came here, the orphanage Lys almost twenty years ago. It was an autumn day. Then I heard knocking on the door of the structure, so I opened it. Then I sighted you with the white little dragon,"
"Daisy?" Lys asked in dismay as she was looking at her dragon.
"It seems," Auntyy Elsa agreed. "So, when I noticed you and I had processed the things I saw, I couldn't believe my eyes. A real dragon stood in front of me, although, it could be a hatchling, because it was small sized. Firstly, I screamed and said loudly 'Dragon!' and then you, Lys started repeat jolly the words 'Dagon! Dagon, dagon, dagon!'. You said it constantly then you lengthened your little hand and the dragon closed its eyes and she placed her head into your tiny palm. I've never seen anything like that before. Then she pushed you to the door and looked at me with her eyes wanting help, like she wanted to say a message to take care of you. Then she flew off. After a while, there was just a dot in the sky and then she was swallowed by the sky of the night. And I just stood there gazing at that point the sky enchanted where she disappeared. Then you woke me from my daze. 'Bye-bye dagon!' you waved your hands sadly like you had to say goodbye from a good friend, then you faced me with your inquiring face. 'Hi!' you smiled at me friendly. I just couldn't say any clever sentence and I just said 'Uhm, Uhh… I think… well, I… welcome. I am Auntyy Elsa; my full name is Elsa White. What's your name?' 'I'm Lysande Haddock,' You introduced yourself proudly. 'Get inside Lysande Haddock. This is the local orphanage. I think, you have to stay here for a while because someone wants so,' I glanced at the sky once more. 'Come, we get you some food and then I give you a room,' I said. That's how your story starts here. Every year, on the night of that day I panned the sky at least for an hour, but nothing had happened, she had never popped up to get you. But now, in a day like this, I didn't expect her to come. Of course, what have I thought of? We can't require from the dragons to arrive everywhere in an exact time," Auntyy Elsa finished her story absently. Lys sat in the armchair freezed.
"Now, I can remember some things, but I thought they were just dreams! The evidence is beginning to pile up how to get here. So, it was Daisy who brought me here! But why?"
"I can't say it for sure Lys, but I think she felt you in danger there, where you lived until then. Maybe she hoped you would be safer here. But one thing is sure. You are not belong to here. Haven't you ever felt like you didn't belong this world or this age?"
"Yeah. Many times," Lys admitted. "I felt like sometimes I needed to be somewhere else,"
"Well, that's right. Before you arrived, I didn't believe there were more dimensions, but now I'm sure there is another world in a parallel dimension with ours, perhaps even people living in another age. That dragon came from there, and she brought you, and now she came to you because she felt it was time. This is your dragon Lys. I don't know what kind of extraordinary relationship you have, anyway, it's very special. You probably came to understand it now, because you might need it from where you came from. In addition, it is time to return to where you belong,"
Hundreds of thoughts shook in Lys's head. The appearance of Daisy, and what Aunty Elsa told, changed everything. Now it was possible to find a light on her past and find her place. Maybe even her family. Maybe she, Lys, isn't orphan? After all, she knew that dragons existed only in tales. But if this copy still lives, why not be the same with your parents? Another world ... Anything possible.
"Did you hear this, Daisy? We have no time to waste, we have to leave immediately. Of course only if you really came to get me home,"
Daisy jumped up and made a start. "I think Aunty Elsa, we really have to go right now,"
"Go if you need to go, Lys. I'm glad you'll get back to your home. If you have the time and the dimensional gate will work, then visit!"
"Dimension Gate?"
"Of course! Do you think the dragon came from another world?"
"You're right. Then, I think, let's go,"
"I'll accompany you,"
Aunty Elsa always went forward on the way out and watched if the air's clean and they can go on. On the way to the kitchen, she disappeared behind the door for a while to return with a box of baked goods and another box of fried fish.
"Here, do it, you may need it on the road. Who knows how long it takes to get there? I'll give you a blanket and a bag that you can pack everything into. Do you have the dragon medallion?"
"Of course," said Lys, who always wore her favorite necklace.
"Good," she nodded. In the meantime, they got out of the orphanage. It was a pleasure for dragon and man to be in the open air again.
"Thank you very much, Aunty Elsa," acknowledged Lys "And not just the cookies and the blanket. Thank you for everything you did for me" she said hugging Aunty Elsa who didn't find words of influence.
"Take care of yourself," she finally said in a flowing voice.
"Oh, I'm always taking care," Lys grinned. Aunty Elsa turned to Daisy.
"And you look after her too! This is your job again," she smiled at the dragon and looked at her again. "Good luck, Lys!"
The red-haired nodded, then gently tried to climb on the back of Daisy. The dragon tolerated calmly and soon Lys managed to sit firmly on her back. After everything was ready, the dragon jumped off of the ground and rode up with her rider. Aunty Elsa watched them until they disappeared on the horizon. On that luminous afternoon sunlight filled the orphanage. Those who accidentally walked in could only see an elderly woman working in the garden, who knows why, but often glanced at the sky smiling. The light was passing through her heart.
Sorry, it took me long to translate it, but I think I can do it more often. Don't forget, it's just a translation from Wattpad, and the original title is "Fehér Sikló" by RebekaSzab8. I recomend it for Hungarian fans :)
P.s.: This story sets after the defeat of Drago.
For the reviews:
Mariah: This story has more than a dragon for her birthday :)
