The video of the mysterious creature had gone viral, even when Lory Takarada tried to stop it.
There was just too many video's out there to delete and by the time, he did something about it, a handful was already online, quickly becoming the number one most viewed video in the country.
And because of the viral video naturally, all the other countries wanted to see it as well, wanting to know what kind of weird stuff had hit Japan's number one.
So it was quiet the surprise, watching something that reminded them all of a dragon from the story books.
People called BS on the video naturally but there was far too many videos uploaded all shot at different locations and at different angels.
The creature had walked into a live interview!
More than half of japan had seen this creature with their own eyes either on screen or actually in the audience.
Some were even lucky enough to be touched by the creature.
Then an animal specialist came out and confirmed that the creature was in fact real and even had photos that they had taken of the animal as it slept and even sheared it with the science world.
Dragon's, that believed to be myth were now being put into question about wither they were actually real.
If they really were real, who knows what kind of mythical beings were actually out there?
A whole new world that was completely unknown to the human race was being open.
And the key was that little blue dragon.
But the thing was, the little dragon was heavily guarded and hadn't left the Takarada household
Ch 4: The Shaking of the Mythical World
"Ming. Ming. Let's see who can get to the other end of the corridor the fastest" Maria said, for a little girl who was supposed to be grounded she sure was lively.
Dew decided to humour her and get into position, beside the echoes of pain, his body was mostly healed now.
"Ready. Set. Go!" She yelled and both of them were off.
The servants who were going around just doing their thing, had to move out of the way as they both raced to the end of the corridor.
For somebody who had such short and stubby leg's, Dew could really run fast.
But Maria had the advantage in longer leg's and beat him to it.
"I won!" She said.
"No fair. Best 2 out of 3!"
.
.
Everybody in the corridor froze.
Where the hell did that voice come from?
Was it imagination?
"Wait. Did I just say that out loud?" Said, the voice and Maria and many eyes looked to see Ming Ming.
That voice couldn't have come from...
Nah.
Well, Dew thought he was already exposed so he might as well, start talking.
"E-Er, hi everybody" He said.
He really was talking!
Maria felt light headed before she fainted.
She wasn't the only one to faint.
When Maria came to she was in her bed and just had the strangest dream that Ming Ming could talk like a regular human being.
But that was a dream, right?
"Maria. Are you okay?" Suddenly a voice said, next to her and she turned to see it was Ming Ming.
"Should I call for some ice or something?" The Dragon said.
Maria stared.
He really was talking!
"W-WAIT! YOU CAN TALK!?" She said, suddenly bolting up. "Why didn't you talk earlier!"
"P-Please keep it down" Dew said, "My ears are incredibly sensitive. Your yell is like a bullhorn to me"
"Oh, sorry" Maria said.
"I've been able to talk for some time now" Dew revealed, "But I didn't want to scary you. I know that when something that isn't suppose to talk starts talking, a normal person reaction would be to kill it immediately or run away."
Indeed.
If her father was here, the first thing he would have done was order his death.
"Ming Ming. I would never try to kill you!" Maria said. "Your my friend. And now that you can talk. We can have a proper conversation with each other!"
And Dew found it interesting that she didn't ask how he could talk.
"But how did you end up in my garden?" She said, "And with so injuries. Don't you have a mommy or daddy to go to?"
"Maria. Nobody is going to look for me. I'm a failure" He said.
"What do you mean by aa failure?" Maria said, "How can you say that about yourself? Ming Ming. Your amazing!"
"Huh?" He said.
"Do you know how many people would love to meet you?" Maria said, "Your can talk, the only creature I know that can talk is a Parrot and it just repeats whatever you say. The fact that you're here, means that your amazing. Do you see any other dragon coming to talk to me?"
Indeed, there was a reason why Dragons were thought of as a myth.
Either interacting with the Human race was a waste of their time or they were in hiding.
"Maria...do you mean that?" Dew said.
"Of course" Maria said, "The fact that you're my friend means your amazing" before she said. "We are friends right?"
And Dew wanted to cringe inwardly.
All Maria had done was try to play with him in her grounding, she would talk about other people but never herself.
He would feel incredibly guilty if he said no.
"Yes. We are friends" He said and Maria eyes light up.
Her very first friend!
Hold on.
"Ming Ming. How old are you?" She said.
"Don't know" He said, well he couldn't say he was in his 20 was he? "But I should be around your age or younger."
He was pretty sure, his mother left him for countless months at a time.
So maybe he was around Maria age fiscally.
"My first ever true friend!" Maria said, she was absolutely shocked.
It was the first time she had a friend that did not work for her family.
And Maria did not know how lucky Dew was to be creature instead of a human, her father would have killed him just for the fact that they were sleeping in the same bed together.
She had made a mistake by telling her father that he was male.
If the man know that Dew already had his sexual awakening...
They would have never been allowed to become friends.
"So what are we going to play now?" he said.
"Oh..." She said, "Exactly... I have to do homework"
"Let me help them" He said.
"No offence Ming Ming but this might be too difficult for you" She said.
He gave her a 'oh really' look as she went to get her school bag and opened it.
She decided to allow him to watch.
He cranked his neck over hers, to get a better look at her homework book.
"The answer to number 1 is 45" He suddenly said
"...How do you know that?" Maria said, although the answer was plausible.
Then she began doing it in her head and found out he was right.
"What do you think I've been doing while you're at school?" He said, "Your gone for 7 hours for 5 days, a week. I read and looked through some of your school stuff."
"Can all dragons read?" She said.
"no clue" He said, he know his sibling's couldn't read but he had no idea about his mother.
"Since you can understand. Why don't you help me?" She said.
"You mean do all the work for you and you just right stuff down?" He said, as she pouted, that's what she gets for underestimating him. "No thanks"
He turned away and laid down on the bed.
"Oh, pleeeeeesssseeeee. Ming Ming!" She said, "I'll never doubt you again!"
He continued to ignore her.
"I'll give you, prime meat" She said.
"Two. I want to two prime meats" He said.
"Okay" She said.
He turned around and she looked at him like he was god sent.
However, Maria quickly learnt that he was a brutal teacher.
He would give her the answers but only a small part of the method, knowing full well she wouldn't get full marks until she had a complete method.
He left her alone with the start of it and the end of it, she just had to figure it out the middle parts.
His irritating reasoning was that, her brain would get smaller if her brain stopped thinking for a few minutes in which she replied with puffed up cheeks.
They finished the homework an hour later and had their dinner, in which he stuffed himself not caring that half the work force was staring at him.
Him and Maria then played Dance Dance revolution since it was one of the few games he could actually play.
Somehow, he was good despite constantly rushing from one end to another.
How he managed to get two arrows at the same time was beyond anybody.
Then he was given his daily scrub and fluff before going to bed.
That night he had a very crazy dream.
#Dream#
"Where am I?" He said, for some reason around him was some ruins and when he looked down at his hands, it was his good old human hands again.
He wondered around for a bit, very sure that this was a dream however, he soon saw a shadow move at the corner of his eyes.
He turned and he was stunned.
It was a small baby blue dragon with golden eyes.
This dragon was him.
The dragon took off as soon as it saw him.
"Wait!" He said, running after it.
He had to wonder how those legs could run faster than him despite the length.
Clearly he had been doing something wrong.
He followed the other him around multiple corridors until he eventually ran into a wall.
An invisible barrier.
He slammed head first into it and flow backwards.
His whole body hurt like hell.
However, he managed to get up and saw that the other him was not that far from him but was on the other side.
He touched it and felt a sting at his fingertips, making him take a step back.
He tried again but every time he did so, he was stopped by an unbelievable amount of pain.
"DAMN IT! DON'T MESS WITH ME!" He roared. "First I can't fly and now I can't even go to the other side!"
He could feel that he had to go to the other side.
He didn't know why but he felt that if he turned back now, he would never be able to forgive himself.
He tried again but this time, no matter how much pain he was in, he continued to push through sheer willpower.
His skin burst open and blood came out, layers of skin began to peel away and his bones began to peel themselves as well but he did not stop.
Push.
He did his best to push through the pain that was assaulting his mind.
However, he made it through.
But he was nothing more than a skeleton when he did so.
He collapsed.
The other him looked at him before crawling all the way to him and touching him.
Even though he couldn't feel anything, he could still feel the warmth that washed over his body as the creature began to shine.
In that very moment, every Dragon felt something wash over all of them.
In the mythically world, a stone tablet that had the engravings of a very detailed dragon, eyes light up.
Those who saw were stunned.
A figure sat on a throne in a hood with an adult dragon behind him and shadowy figured stood before him.
"Contact all the Dragons in the mortal realm. Whoever brings me that Dragon will have a banquet fit for a king." Said, the figure.
"Yes, your Majesty" Said, the countless figures, as they all split way.
Dew had no idea he had done something that countless Dragons failed to do.
And scene!
Next chapter, Maria is stunned to wake up to a Ming Ming who wasn't looking like Ming Ming but a human boy. Naturally his father and grandfather are told and Maria soon discovers that this maybe a good thing for them both. Review/fav and follow!
