I’m just minding my own business when I hear a thud just outside of my bedroom window.

Rushing outside to see what it is, I begin to believe I’m dreaming.

A dragon is in my backyard. A FREAKING DRAGON!!!!!

Its body and wings are icy blue and it looks to have a mane where the horns are poking out of that looks like ice and is the color of fluffy clouds on a gentle sunny day. Their eyes are bright but deep blue. They aren’t the biggest of dragons but still big enough it makes my fair sized backyard look small.

It stuck its tongue out while grinning happily at me. It looked happy to see me.

“Where did you come from?” I say while reaching to pet it if it will let me.

“I come from a place called Xadia. I believe I am in a completely different realm. I came across a portal looking thing and I thought it would take me somewhere else than here. The last place I thought I’d end up is the human realm.” It speaks with a very deep, gravelly voice. It also lets me pet its head. More like it saw I was reaching out to touch it and it leaned its head down to my hand. But touching it feels nothing like it should in a dream. But dragons aren’t real, Right?

“Why are you able to talk and why is this real? Am I dreaming and my hand is making the sense of touch even more stimulated?”

“I am very real. And you are not dreaming. I am called Azymondias, but people prefer to call me Zym.”

Wait, Zym?!? From the tv show The Dragon Prince?

“I can’t seem to find my way to a portal area to get back to Xadia. You wouldn’t mind helping me?”

“Uuuuuuuuu…. Suuuuurrre!” No, I’m must be dreaming. The Dragon Prince is one of my top most favorite tv shows right now. I can’t believe my second most favorite character is right here in front of me. Ethari is my most favorite as he is gay and a blacksmith for the Moonshadow Elves.

“I seem to have gotten lost.” A new person shows up. “ Aaaah, Zym you’re here too.”

“Hey, Ethari!”

“ETHARI?!?!”

“Yes? “

“Why are the both of you here in my specific backyard of all the places in the world. I would think you would show up in Scotland since it similar to Xadia. But, here? My backyard?” I sort of scream. I believe I’m going crazy. A dragon and an elf should be real and right in front of me.

“Either you or your property is magic source of some sort. We were drawn to here through the portal. Maybe you’re the one supposed to help us.” Zym answers me.

“I was going to ask right as Ethari showed up, but what is your name?”

“Jaxon Mydal.”

“Why does that name sounds familiar?” Zym is now pacing deep in thought.

“I don’t know.” My dog, Beanie who is an Irish Wolfhound, Scottish Deerhound, and Great Dane mix, decides to go through the doggy door at that moment and surprisingly doesn’t bark like crazy like he normally does at random things. He instead sniffs Ethari and Zym like he hasn’t seen them in forever.

“It seems your dogs has taken a liking to us. And I take it that he doesn’t normally act this way to new people? What is his name?” Ethari speaks gently since he is patting Beanie at the moment.

“Beanie. And yeah, he is normally crazier than this, but this is the calmest he has ever been with anything.”

“Wait, Beanie? Jaxon Mydal? Nooooooo… the most famous human kidnapping in all of the Xadian realm. I remember one of the humans kidnapped you and brought you here but we didn’t know that until Beanie showed us. Beanie is one of the best tracking dogs. Everyone was shocked to hear about your kidnapping twenty years ago. Beanie found you and never came back probably to help protect you and because you were doing fine.” Zym seems surprised or shocked. I can’t tell.

Note:

- If you didn’t pick up on it, I did borrow Zym and Ethari from the Netflix tv show The Dragon Prince.

-Yes, both are my top fav characters from the show.

-No, Beanie isn’t based on my real dog(s) I want an Irish wolfhound tho.

-Beanie got his name from being a beanie stealer with how big/tall he is to if we were sitting down
