I remember you looking into a lake, on the middle of the forest. You had a pink dress ,with your hair tied in a messy ponytail, letting your curls set loose.
Me, wearing a black suit and red bowtie. Just a little above your hight. I walk toward you, the fallen leaves get crushed by my feet, letting you hear my approach.
After a long silence, you look at my baby blue eyes and with your baby doll lips, you spoke the first words.
"Hello."
".... What are you doing here all by yourself? " I ask while staring into your brown eyes that almost look golden yellow.
"Because I like it here. It's quiet and peaceful!" You say with a smile.
"But it's dangerous. Aren't you scared?"
"I'm not anymore. Now that you're here."
".... that should make you even more scared." You have no idea what I am capable of. I look at the small fish, which you played with playfully, and reach in towards the chilling water. But, even they know that they would be safer away from me.
"Are you gonna leave?" I stare into your eyes once more. How could I refuse to stay when your eyes look at me like that.
"No."
"Then you'll be my friend?"
"Sure"
"Ok, what's your name? "
"Deon. And yours?"
"Esmeralda"
"..Esmeralda.."
"Hey Deon, where are your mommy and daddy?"
"... I don't have a mother. She was killed.. by the man I should love and care about but can't seem to find myself doing so."
"Then, what about your dad?" You looked happy. More like, entertained.
"The one I call father, is an evil man. An evil man who rules a world of unfairness and darkness." Your smiled went away
"Does that make you prince of that place? Are you evil too?"
"Trust me. The last thing I want to be is evil."
"Then you're a good boy!"
"Yes, you could say that."
"Hey can i show you something?" You said as you pulled a small golden chain from your small pocket. "I found this here in this pond. But I can't find the other piece... wanna go on an adventure?!" You said with a smile brighter than the sun.
"... well, how do you even know there is another piece that goes with it?"
"Because, isn't it obvious when something is destined to be with something else?"
I stare into your glittering eyes, "I guess you're right."
We head towards the right going further into the forest. Side by side. We brought up small conversations.
"What about your patents?"
"Hmm, I don't have a mommy or daddy." You said with the softest smile. "They left. But I know it's for a good reason. Because they loved me. They said they had to go in order to protect me." You continued
"Hmm... Wait, I see something." I turn to the shinning item buried beneath the fallen leaves. I grab your hand and run towards blinding light. When we get to it, we pause and observe it. It's a golde dragon. This golden dragon.
"You think this could be it?" I ask unsure.
"Of course it is." You say happily as you grab the golden dragon.
"Don't you think it was too soon to true?"
"It's destiny. It's never too soon." You said smiling.
*swishh* Oh No
"We have to go. Now!"
"What why? Who is it?!-" I grab your tiny body and put you in my back. Then I run full speed. Faster than humans. Way faster than humans.
"It's not 'who'. It's 'what'."
"What? What is it?"
"My father."
