From one dream to another - tomorrow's memory, the land the world forgot

There was something almost surreal to Chihiro about riding upon the back of a dragon -as if she were a princess in a story book. Letting him fly away with her. Believing his promises that sounded so very sweet and so very dangerous at the same time. But some part of her had stopped caring about such insignificant things like real and make believe -lies and truths. If just for a moment.

For right now, she was nothing. No one. Just a girl seated atop a creature time had lost, feeling the shifting of his muscles as they arched through the air, and the tickle of silky fur and warm scales against her flesh in the rapidly cooling night.

It seemed almost as if they were going nowhere; merely circling the town in which she had known for the better part of her life. But it was not long before his course changed, and he was taking her up into the mountain that fed the Kohaku river, until the village felt as if it were a lifetime below her.

But still all she saw were trees. Trees and the bright green growth that ruled over this place.

"Do you see it, my little dog? We have arrived."

There was nothing at first, but as he slowly spiraled to the ground, the trees revealed their hidden prize. And before her eyes was a sprawling estate, with enclosed walkways and moss covered roofs.

And walking the grounds where people -though they were not human.

Note: Another chapter for you lovelies, and finally plot progression! I'm trying to write for this whenever I can, but with my laptop being more dead than alive, and my work schedule plus transit meaning I'm out of the house for about 14 hours a day, It's fairly hard to get a moment to actually sit down and write. But as always, Reviews are a nice thing to leave.
