Duha lives alone by necessity not by choice. The world passes her by for the most part. Her past prevents her from getting close to other yaspilrmeth. The world around her is changing to the point where even she can't hide from it anymore. The Drago...

I walked through the camp out outside of the village looking for anyone that needed help. As it always was when I tried to help everyone, they sent me away without wanting anything from me. I just want to help. Why won't anyone let me help them? The people I passed looked at me like I was dirt. I'm used to the feeling of being less than dirt but... Bumping into something I fell back on my bum loseing my train of thought. I looked up at one of the Green Dragons and they looked down at me with shining green eyes. "Ahhh sorry."
I tried to get up but the Green Dragon smiled at me and put me back on my feet. "Wesyug meumeg rquyik, megu jethe sisqu kuk phso." She spoke with a soft tone and gently offered me a hand.
I took it and she smiled as she led me back to the tent. Just inside, she frowned, looking around. Bear walked over to us. "Hephgoth ipkhsth rst wikth tag ragmil sisqu?"
I stared at Bear. Did he always know Dragon? The Green Dragon smiled warmly. "Uren wareme thgin kuk phso. Nrag tkn tkmfeth kpsquthi msfeth jsg sthg. Sisqu rukag uquwaegi urg omganneth E neg. E yqunu hass okwuf oss yac tspf, E ragkp kuk jehru E yqunu opkfg qul." With those softly spoken words, she patted me on the back and walked away.
"Come on then, Pup, let's find you a job." Bear said taking my arm.
"How come you can speak Dragon?"
He sighed at my question rubbing his forehead. "That is a long story. Come let us find something for you to..."
"That is alright, Bear. We have somewhere we must go." Duha said behind me.
I spun excitedly and grabbed Duha. "Mum!"
She smiled and hugged me back. "You leaving?" Bear asked.
Duha nodded looking at the people in the tent. "I need to be away from these people and their constant looks of anger."
Bear shook his head sighing more. "Your things have been recovered, and your wagon is being repaired. Are you leaving without it?"
She nodded taking my hand and leading me away from the tent without saying anything else. "Where are we going?" I asked.
"There is a nice place to stay close by I just need to be away from these people for a while." I nodded looking at the people that glared at us as we passed. Clinging to Duha made me stumble. "Pup you don't need to cling like that. No one will hurt us now. The Dragons will keep us safe."
Releasing my grip slightly was easier as we walked away from the village and the people who seemed to hate us. We walked to the cluster of trees nearby where I heard the soft sounds of running water. She stopped next to the lake and sat on its edge. "We will stay here away from the others." Mum said, gesturing to the lake.
I nodded bending down to run my hand through the water. It looks like Duha's den. She likes living near lakes, it seems. At the sound of footsteps, I froze. Michi walked into the area, dropping the bags with a sigh. "This is a nice place to stay." He said as he pulled some leather and rope from one of the bags.
