..It was cold and too quiet, not even the trees dared to make a sound. I was not alone even though I could not see anything or anyone, so I tied up my amber red hair and continued on my journey.

I had almost reached the top of the mountain to the overlook I desperately needed to find home when a shadow swallowed the light from around me. I heard it then, a strong sound that could only be the flapping of massive wings. I stopped to look up at the dragon swallowing the fear in my chest but a loud thud came from in front of me.

“Hello beautiful, Everyone is looking for you.” The dark figure said as he removed his hood to reveal golden blonde hair and icy blue eyes.

“Please.. I just want to get home.”

He looked me head to toe back to head again, “I’m sure Vix could get you there faster.” The dragon, who I assume is Vix, landed not far from where we stood. “Let me give you a ride.” He extended his hand towards me.

“Thank you but I was doing just fine on my own.” I said has I gathered my skirt and started to walk past him.

“Well, I tried” before I could take another step he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.
