Chapter 2: Welcome to my Lair:
Ye Xian's POV:
I was taken to the Dragon King's palace. "Over here is my Grand Pillar. I used to have a grand column, but it was stolen by a monkey five hundred years ago!"
"Listen, I'm sorry, but I don't think I want to go through with this," I said.
"I'll just woo you," says the Dragon King, "you'll come to love me. I know, I can sing! I have the sweetest vocal cords you know!"
Dragon King: Welcome to my lair
Welcome to my kingdom here
Though I got no hair
I still rule everywhere down here under the land
Welcome to my world
Please try my style
Is it 'cause I'm a reptile
You recoil from my touch
Is it 'cause I'm a reptile you don't smile very much
Is it 'cause I'm a reptile that you don't seem to care
Welcome to my
Welcome to my gold
To my crown
To my urmin
To my town
Welcome to my
Welcome to my lair
You and I
We make music
I could cry
'Cause I'm so happy
That you're so lovely
And so little
And you're sweet
And you're so very, very, very neat
I repeat
Welcome to my lair
Welcome to this lovely place
Do you like my face and my nose
I suppose
They're disgusting
But they're me
How about my clothes
And I like to be shakey
Is it 'cause I'm snakey
You don't smile when I smile
Is it 'cause I'm snakey
You won't walk down the aisle
Is it 'cause I'm snakey
That you're being unfair
Welcome to my
Welcome to my doves
To my crown
Welcome to my
Welcome to my own little town
Welcome to my
Welcome to my books
To my rugs
To my kisses
To my hugs
Welcome to my
Welcome to my lair
You and I (Benbo/Babbo: Aah, aah, aah)
We make music
I could cry
'Cause I'm so happy
That you're so lovely
And so little
And you're sweet
And you're so very, very, very neat
Benbo/Babbo: He can tell a joke
Dragon King: I can tell a joke
Benbo/Babbo: Hey
Dragon King: I can while you with my wit
Anyplace you sit
I will sit
And I'll charm you like a teenager in love
We're a perfect fit (Benbo/Babbo: We're a perfect fit)
I am not a nitwit
That's because I'm royal
And it's you I adore
You're a lovely girl who's destined for more
I won't let you spoil what you're meaning to spoil
Isn't that fair
Welcome to my lair
Welcome to my lair
Welcome to my lair!
. . .
I was placed in a room that will be my temporary room at least until... the... wedding... which means that I was trapped. I felt alone.
"Ye Xian!"
"Gold-Eyes," I said.
"I followed you here," says Gold-Eyes, "know that I will always be with you."
"Gold-Eyes, what am I going to do," I asked.
"Do not worry," says Gold-Eyes, "you will not be here forever."
Gold-Eyes then hides as the Dragon King comes into my room. "Who were you talking to?"
"UUUUUUUUUhhhhhhhhh... no one," I said.
"Oh, okay then." The Dragon King then swims out of my room.
To Be Continued
The Grand Pillar will become the legendary Glory of Ten Powers. The Grand Pillar and the Grand Column are twins. In the next chapter, the Dragon King learns about Gold-Eyes.
