When I woke up in the middle of the night, I felt his arms around me, holding me tight, one on my back the other behind my head.
I tried to turn and noticed he also covered me with wings and tail, it was cute but I had to get up. Slowly I managed to leave his arms without waking him up, he had a tight grip and was pretty strong.
After I emptied myself, I took a minute to admire the view over the kingdom, everything was calm and peaceful, just the moon and a few stars shining from above. After a while I felt arms hugging me from behind, his wavy hair tickling my ear.

"Did I wake you?", I asked.

"No, but I heard you.", he kissed my cheek.

"This view is beautiful."

"You should see it from above."

"I'm fine......no!", I screamed when i saw my feet left the ground.

"Let me down! Please!", I cried grabbing his arm, so I wouldn't fall.

"Okay.", he let me down and turned me around so I would face him.

"No need to be scared.", he whispered and pulled me closer, placing my hands around his neck.

"What are you...? Dear lord help!", he leaned forward over the cliff, opening his wings.

We didn't fall down, the wind carried us, but I still held on tight, then I felt my feet leaving the ground again. I closed my eyes and tried to breathe, I felt the movements of his wings, then he stopped, he got carried by the wind.

"Do you trust me?", he dropped me and just stopped me from falling by holding my hands.

"Not really.", but then he let go, I fell back down to earth, I waited for the moment I would hit the ground, but I landed on the back of his huge dragon form.

I opened my eyes and found myself diving through the clouds before I saw the beautiful sky full of stars, I felt like I could touch them.
It was amazing, he showed me the whole kingdom, the sea, the land, the field where he buried the dead knights and brought me to the stars.

When we came back, I was speechless from the beauty I saw tonight.

"Thank you, this was amazing!"

"My pleasure, thank you for your trust.", he bowed.

"What are you doing?", I laughed and pulled him up again.

"Sorry.", he giggled.

"Now we should sleep for real."

"Yeah."

Now we both slept tight, until the sunrise woke us again.
