"Extraburr!" I shouted as I entered my room.
This is the fifth time today. Well, it is not only today but everyday. This little creature likes to mess around.
Nahilot ko ang sintido habang pinupulot ang mga kalat sa sahig. I even curse when I see scratches on the walls. Hindi pa nga napapa-blessing-an ang bagong gawang silid na 'to ay talagang bininyagan nya na.
"Extraburr, come here." Tawag ko dito.
/~buurr/
Using his cute little wings, he flies on my direction. Mabilis syang nagpakarga sa akin. Hinimas ko ang ulo nito na nagustuhan nya.
"You stop messing around. Napapagod na ako kakalinis sa kalat mo..." pangaral ko dito.
/~buurr/
"Paano na lang kung wala na ako dito? Mas pabibigatin mo ang trabaho ng mga katulong at gwardya sa mansyon." Patuloy ko.
This is the last day of one-week vacation, and I'll be returning to Odeius Academy tomorrow. Gusto ko sanang dalhin si Extraburr kaso hindi ako pinayagan ni Duke Nikolo. Pero ang problema, sa akin lang nakikinig at umaamo ang maliit na nilalang na 'to.
Muli kong naalala ang araw nang una ko 'tong nasilayan. I have misunderstood everything.
"I've lost it." I muttered while watching the burned pieces of shell of the prize egg.
It is frustrating to know that a valuable thing like a rare dragon egg is gone. Hindi ko man lang nakita ang dragon na nasa loob nito.
"Pero paano nagkaroon ng sunog dito?" I roamed my sight again—trying to assess the cause of fire.
Unfortunately, there is nothing relevant to the incident unless someone starts the fire. Pero napakaimposible na 'yon ang nangyari. No one would dare to make a scene like this in the Homero's manor. Napakahigpit ng seguridad sa teritoryo ng mga Homero. Also—as far as I can remember, there is no one suspicious here.
I sigh. With no lead and no evidence, this case is automatically closed. Nakapanlulumo. Tumalikod ako mula sa mga nasunog na bagay. Nakakailang palang hakbang palang ako nang,
"What the!" I was startled.
There is something scaly that jumps into me. Unti-unti ko itong nilingon at natagpuan ko ang isang nilalang na akala ko hindi ko na makikita.
/~buuurrr/
It is blinking its cute little eyes. It robs its head to my hands. The creature's colour—pink—makes it even more attractive.
"What happened here?" Dumating sina Duke Nikolo.
"I guess... I know who caused the fire." Ani ko habang nakatingin sa munting dragon na nakatulog na sa kamay ko.
"Is that the dragon from the prize egg?" Duchess Stelline asked.
Mabilis akong tumango. I smiled. "Yes."
"I never seen a dragon like that."
"Its colour is unique for its kind." Komento nina Nikolai and Niki.
"Do you name it?" Duke Nikolo queried.
Napaisip ako. A name? I haven't thought about that yet. Pero kanina lang habang binabasa ko ang librong 'How to Train your Dragon?', there is an advice there that the master should give a name to the dragon after it is hatched. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dahilan. Ang alam ko lang—it should be like it is everyone's right... to have a name.
