The night was filled with silent, when the two people appear in the middle of the forest. The two people walk silently near at the big mansion with the sword on their waist. One of them speak, her name was Ascella.
"Do you think she's still alive?" Ascella ask him. Her ocean blue eyes brighten when she looks at him. He ignores her question and gesture to silent her. Ascella glance the direction where he is looking. Her eyes widen in shock when she sees a big dragon sleeping in front of the gate mansion, it looks like the dragon is guarding the mansion from the trespassers.
They are far away from the mansion but the dragon senses their presence and open its eyes. Ascella step back and cover her mouth, stopping herself from shouting. Her hand tremble at the sight, this is not the first time she saw a Dragon but for her this Dragon was different from ordinary Dragon she saw in their empire.
The dragon has a silver white scale and large body that can cover the moonlight, it has four legs and sharp spike cover its tail and head. The dragon has sharp blue eyes staring through their soul. They tremble in fear and unable to move. The dragon shifts its body to face the two travelers.
Ascella fall on her knees unable to move. The dragon walks towards them, Suhail grab his sword and cover Ascella trembling body. "Move away! We're not here to make enemies. We are here to talk the witch living in that mansion! My name is Suhail, the emperor sent me to bring the witch." Suhail shouted; his hand is trembling in fear. But the Dragon didn’t pay attention in his words.
The dragon head come closer and sniff them. Suhail falls down on his knees, His confuse of the dragon action at the same time feel relief that the dragon didn’t burn them alive. They both flinch when the dragon roar. He hugs his wife Ascella protecting her from the dragon. Ascella and Suhail close their eyes and accepting their death.
The dragon stops from roaring and took out the baby from its back and lay gently in front of the two couple. The Baby giggle when she saw the dragon face, her small hands want to reach its face. But The dragon moves away, stepping back and fly away from the baby and the couple.
The couple move away from each other when they hear the giggle of the baby. They are shock at the sight of the baby. It has silver hair and her skin was pale as snow, the couple notice the eyes of the baby its silver and enchanting. Ascella took the baby and carry to her lap. The fear she felt a while ago disappear when the baby smiled at her. Ascella smiled back and look at her husband. Suhail notices the look of his wife smiling face.
“I want to keep her.” Ascella said and glance at the baby who is quiet and staring at her. The baby smile and giggle when Ascella stare at her. Suhail nodded and accept the decision of her wife. But his mind wonders with so many questions. Where is the witch living in that mansion? Who is that dragon? Who is this baby? And lastly, The emperor orders. Suhail takes a deep breath and choose her wife decision. As long as Ascella was happy Its fine, His wife happiness was more important than those things.
