During the night while everybody was sleeping peacefully upon their pillows, and snuggled up to each other, Celestine softly blinked her eyes open letting out a yawn. She quietly walked and looked all around her friends with a warm smile as she looked at the small child who was sleeping underneath Prim's arm. She quietly stood up, and walked over to the sleeping boy.

She gently used her hand to very lightly nudge Prim, and lowered her head down to whisper into her ear. "Prim, could you maybe wake up for a little bit?"

Prim blinked her eyes open letting out a soft yawn as she looked up at Celestine. "Um, hi Celestine, what's wrong?" She asked in a whisper.

Celestine shook her head. "Oh, nothing is wrong, I was just wondering if maybe I could spend a moment with Toby for a little bit?" Giving her a bright smile.

Prim returned a smile, and nodded. "Um. Of course Celestine." She turned her attention to the little boy stroking his back with her hand. She leaned her head down to nuzzle at his cheek, and whispered in his ear. "Toby, can you wake up for a little bit sweetheart?"

Toby stirred a little as he let out a soft yawn. He blinked his eyes open to look up into the beautiful sky blue eyes of Prim. He smiled softly.

She gave him a warm smile. "Hi sweetie. Would you like to spend some time with your Auntie Celestine?"

He let out another soft yawn, and looked up at her, then over at Celestine who had a blushing smile on her face. "Yes Auntie Prim, that would be nice." He quietly got up seeing that everybody was asleep, and stretched his arms, and legs.

Celestine turned to Prim. "Don't worry Prim, I will keep him safe." Prim gave a soft smile, and nodded as Celestine turned to Toby. "Come on sweetheart, I would like to take you someplace special." She picked the child up and held him, and quietly walked out onto the balcony of the castle.

Toby looked up at the starts that filled the night sky along with the moon as they twinkled. He felt a calm breeze brushed softly against his skin.

"Hold on dear, I am going to take you on a little ride." She looked at him with a wink.

He wrapped his arms lightly around her neck. "Okay Auntie Celestine."

She carefully mounted on Shade, and looked at the little boy with a warm smile. She turned his attention in front of her, and Shade started started to flap her wings as he started to fly among the night breeze. Toby took a deep breath of the air letting a comforting sigh.

They flew above East Liverpool which was lit with lights along the streets. She gently looked back at the child who was smiling softly as the breeze blew against his face, and hair. "I want to take you somewhere special Toby. It is a place where I used to take the princesses to relax, and enjoy a quiet moment together." He nodded with a smile.

After soaring above East Liverpool for a few minutes Shade flew towards a cliff that was on the edge of a forest, and overlooked the city. He carefully lowered to the ground, and Celestine got off of Shade. She looked up at the sky, and sighed softly.

She placed Toby down to the ground, and he sat down on the ground beside her, and looked up as well. "It is very pretty out at night Auntie Celestine." He looked up at her.

She looked down at him laying an arm softly over her shoulder. "Yes it is sweetheart." She sighed deeply. "Toby, can I ask you something?"

He nodded. "Yes you can Auntie Celestine."

She looked into his eyes. "Toby, when you ran away, did you really believe that we wouldn't love you, because you aren't one of us?" Rubbing along his back with her hand.

He turned his head to the side a bit lowering it, and slowly nodded.

Celestine gave a sad smile, and nuzzled at his cheek. "Look at me sweetheart." She said tenderly. He turned his head to look into her eyes with a frown. "Let me tell you something, although you may not be our child, we all love you with all out hearts for being who you are." She said giving him a reassuring smile.

He gave a little smile in return. "Thank you Auntie Celestine."

"There is no need to thank me sweetie, because it is the truth." She sighed softly. "You know something Toby, the way Prim cares for you as your Auntie, it reminds me of how I care for Connor."

He looked up at her curiously." Big Brother Connor, Auntie Celestine?

She nodded. "Yes. You see Toby, when he first came to Eostia, and from that moment on me and the others took care of him like he was one of our own." She looked up at the sky sighing softly. "When we was growing up in Eostia, he was a courageous knight we had, and he always made sure we were okay if something bad happened or that the others were overdoing something."

Toby smiled. "Well, that was good of him Auntie Celestine. That is how I was with Mommy, I always wanted to make sure she was okay, and happy if she was sad."

Celestine giggled lightly. "You see, that is another thing you, and Connor have in common sweetheart. Apart from being different from us, you two have such big caring hearts that makes us love you even more." Nuzzling at his cheek. She turned her attention back to the sky while keeping her arm over Toby.

"One day we had to leave Eostia to go live in East Liverpool, so we can defeat Origa when we were told that she came to this place years ago. Well, Connor being the leader of the Dragon Warriors, sometimes accompanied me, and that is when we met new friends, the citizens were all first weary, and cautious of us for being in another dimension, and for being different.

Toby nodded. "Oh. They weren't mean to you or hurt you did they Auntie Celestine?"

Celestine looked at him, and shook her head. "Oh, no dear, they never hurt us or were mean towards us. They were just uncertain of how to deal with strange people from another world. With time they accepted us as part of the community, and my friends accepted their dragons as their own."

"That is good Auntie Celestine. I like the dragons, they are very nice, and fun dragons to be friends with." He said letting out a giggle.

"Yes they certainly are. However, during the winter season they left East Liverpool." Celestine gave the child a sad smile.

Toby frowned. "Oh, no. They did came back though, right Auntie Celestine?" Asking with concern.

Celestine nodded. "Oh, of course they did. They left because they have to lay their eggs. The reason why they left East Liverpool is because when their eggs hatch, they also explode." Sighing softly.

"How did they come back Auntie Celestine?" The little boy asked curiously yet with concern.

Celestine gave him a nuzzle on his cheek. "Normally it takes months for their babies to grow, but Grave after he stowed away with Meaty had an idea. He used an abandoned boat to carry all the babies with help from the other dragons so they can reunite with their riders." She sighed softly.

Toby smiled softly. "That was very nice of Uncle Grave to bring the dragons back home."

Celestine giggled lightly, and nodded. "That is right sweetheart. After Grave brought back the dragons, everyone was happy to see their flying friends again. And that is why during that holiday season, he gave the greatest gift for everyone, and that gift is friendship." She smiled warmly at the thought.

"And you all love each other, even though you're not from here." Toby smiled softly.

Celestine nodded. "That is right Toby, we love each other for being who we are, just like we love you for being who you are." She brought a hand, and rubbed at his tummy playfully causing the child to giggle happily. She giggled along with him as she gave him a kiss on the forehead.

He reached up with his arms to hug around her neck. "I love you too Auntie Celestine. I love all of my new family." He sighed softly.

She wrapped her arms around his back, and rubbed up, and down. "Sweetie, how would you like to stay here, and watch the sun rise?"

He looked up with a bright smile. "I would like that Auntie Celestine."

She rubbed at his back some more, and patted it and picked him up, and brought him on her lap.

As Celestine and Toby sat atop the cliff, they watched as the moon, and the stars were starting to slowly descend in the horizon. "Look sweetheart, the sun is beginning to rise." As she pointed a finger toward the horizon.

Toby looked to see the golden orb slowly ascend against the vast sky as a deep orange glow showered over the two, and the land around them. He smiled warmly as the sun warmed his flesh as he took a deep breath of the morning air. "Mmm.. it is very pretty Auntie Celestine. Thank you for bringing me up here."

Celestine sighed softly as the sun warmed her skin, and she smiled back at the child. "You don't need to thank me sweetie, I am glad I brought you up here. It is beautiful when the rises, and the moon."

Toby smiled as he watched the sunrise. A moment with his Auntie Celestine that was peaceful that it seemed to last forever. The two sigh softly as they felt the warmth of the sun blanket them in it's golden rays.
