There was another green post-it note on the wall which was next to the nonexistent portal we had just walked through. It said,"This ice dragon is gatekeeping the sword you will need to cut through this wall which is also a portal and get out. You all will have to work together to defeat this dragon. P.S the dragon can talk."

"Okay, so we have to take the sword, while this dragon is sleeping." I whispered.

"Sounds like a plan." Carl whispered back.

Eros just hummed and listened, not bothering to say anything.

"Okay so we can do this without any violence. I could use my mind control to control the dragon, while Eros you should stay by my side in case we have to use your fire thing. And while Eros and I are dealing with this dragon, Carl can go get the sword."

"Wait, so aren't actually as dumb as I thought you were, you can plan shit for real. That's nice." Commented Eros.

I was about to say something but that was when the dragon made a snoring noise, so instead all I said was, "Yeah I can, now follow this smart plan before you get us killed."

Eros hummed in a deep tone, clearly irritated. And I did my little happy dance in my head.

I went towards the dragon, and I could see its beautiful silver scales which glowed in the daylight. It was a huge, bat-winged, silver creature. It had ice-breath so everytime it exhaled, I'd get a huge gust of icy cold wind towards my way.

I focused, and I focused hard to control the dragon. I kept repeating the same phrase over and over in my mind, "Wake up calmly and don't attack us."

The dragon woke up, calmly, as I had expected it to. And it didn't attack us, instead it just stared at us, inhaled then exhaled. Almost like it couldn't see us. Now this is cool.

I heard Carl in the distance, in less than a minute Eros was by my side, doing something with his hands. That was when I actually looked at Eros's hands, he had pretty long fingers and veiny hands.

I asked the dragon, "Where is the sword that will help us get out of here?"

The dragon replied, "The sword is hidden in a box which is under that rock." The dragon said, pointing at a huge rock, with moss growing on it. The dragon's eyes had turned a faint shade of purple while I was questioning the dragon.

It was Carl's turn to get the sword, he went towards the rock and tried to move the rock, the dust floating. He couldn't do it alone so Eros went and helped, and together and with the help of Eros' power they managed to do it. Soon Eros removed a box from the inside and when he opened it, He took the sword out and it was magnificent. It had a dragon carved onto the grip and there was an ice-ball carved onto the pommel. The scabbard of the sword was a beautiful midnight blue colour. It overall just looked amazing.

They almost had the sword, when I lost my attention. The dragon who was calm just a moment ago became terrifying and violent. It roared and stood up, when it saw the sword in Carl's hands, it lost control and broke the chains that were holding it to the ground.

HOLY SHIT WE ARE GONNA DIE, THE CHAINS BROKE. STUPID RUE. STUPID RUE. I cursed at myself.

I heard Eros yell, "Rue! RUE! Pay attention, control the dragon's mind again."

I don't know why. But I jumped on the dragon's head when it bent down and I regretted it instantly. I was terrified of heights and my dumbass forgot that very important detail, cause' this dragon was tall as hell.

I tried to calm down and tried to focus on controlling the dragon's mind, it worked and it calmed down. The dragon sat back down, slowly and put its head down. But it was still too tall to actually climb down.

I was so scared that my whole body was shaking, my anxiety level constantly rising only because my stupid ass decided to climb onto the dragon's head and now I was stuck there. I was anxious but I still had control over the dragon below me. And I would be proud of myself if I wasn't nearly close enough to have a panic attack.

When I saw Carl and Eros walking towards the wall laughing and celebrating their victory. I felt a knot tighten in my throat.

With all I had I called out their names, hoping my voice didn't sound as cracked as I heard it, "Carl, Eros, I'm kinda stuck here. A little help please."

"Oh right." I heard Eros say, which oddly made me feel a little calmer.

"Just jump, I'll catch you." Said Eros after he jogged near the dragon's head.

"Oh, umm alright. Don't let me fall, please.'' My voice came out shakier than I would have liked.

I got up on my feet, and trusting the guy I hate, I jumped.

My eyes were closed and I was praying to god that when I landed in his hands, Eros wouldn't feel me shaking.

He caught me in bridal style and I opened my eyes, this was probably the first time I ever noticed his forest green eyes.

SNAP OUT IF IT, YOU HATE HIM.

I could have sworn I saw his eyes widen for a hot second, but it was too short, I could have imagined it.

"Thank you for catching me. Now can you please put me down." I asked, trying to be polite because he had just saved me.

"You are welcome, but I won't put you down yet."

"Whyy??" I wined

"Cause I want to. Carl, open the portal before the dragon wakes up." Eros told me and Carl while still carrying me.

Eros's hands across my skin felt... good.

Never in my wildest dream I ever imagined myself thinking that, and I have wild dreams.

I saw Carl slash the wall which soon turned into the portal we had come in from. Eros carried me out, still holding me.

We came back to the frozen forest and we saw another pop up, it said, "CONGRATULATIONS! You defeated the ice dragon and got the sword."

Well at least we got something out of this, I thought to myself.
