Starfania's gaze shifted downward, taking in the dragon's form in greater detail. A sleek black tail swept gracefully through the air, and more of its massive body became visible beneath the moonlight. Its pure, snow-white scales glistened like scattered stars, starkly contrasted by gray claws and the faint darkness that tipped one ear. When its wing unfurled, she caught her breath—constellation-like patterns shimmered across the membrane, mirroring the night sky above. Its piercing blue eyes locked with her own midnight gaze. Wonder and fear twisted in her chest. The dragon was magnificent...and terrifying.

  It shifted slightly, powerful muscles rippling beneath its shimmering scales, and a low growl rumbled from deep within its throat, vibrating through the air and into her bones

It shifted slightly, powerful muscles rippling beneath its shimmering scales, and a low growl rumbled from deep within its throat, vibrating through the air and into her bones. Instinctively, she took a step back—yet curiosity rooted her in place. Its gaze never wavered. It felt as though the dragon were peering straight into her soul, searching for something she wasn't sure it would find. Despite the tension curling in her chest, Starfania couldn't help but admire the intricate details of the beast. Moonlight kissed the edges of its wings, transforming them into a living canvas of night.

Its breath curled faintly into the cool air, mist dancing between them like a silent conversation. Along its chest, she noticed a series of pale scars—marks of battles long past. Each one told a story of survival, of strength earned rather than given. Her heart pounded. This moment mattered. She drew in a slow breath, steadying herself as the charged silence pressed in around her. Then the dragon moved. Slowly—deliberately—it leaned closer, its massive head lowering until it was mere inches from her. With every step it took, its paw left deep impressions in the sand.

Starfania held her breath, the weight of its presence filling every corner of her awareness. And then...something changed. As their eyes met again, her fear melted away. The intensity of its gaze no longer felt threatening—it felt comforting. Familiar. As though it were trying to speak without words. A strange warmth settled in her chest, a connection threading between them—silent, undeniable. The weight of ancient wisdom wrapped around her like a protective cloak, and within its eyes, she saw something soft. Understanding. Kinship. She dared to step forward. Her heart raced—not with terror, but with awe.

The dragon tilted its head, studying her with patient curiosity. Each breath it took stirred a gentle breeze, carrying the scent of earth and distant smoke. Starfania lifted her hand, fingers trembling as she reached out. In response, the dragon lowered its snout even closer. The world faded away. The ocean's roar softened to a whisper. The rustle of palm leaves vanished into silence. There were only the two of them—locked in a quiet exchange beyond language. She wanted to speak, to explain her fears and dreams, but words felt small. Insufficient. The dragon blinked slowly.

  Almost like a nod

Almost like a nod. Understanding flooded her all at once. This was no accident. This was destiny—two paths converging at a sacred moment carved into time itself. Then the sky answered. A comet tore through the heavens, descending in a blaze of light before landing gracefully in front of them. Starfania gasped, her heart racing as the ground trembled beneath her feet. The dragon, too, seemed captivated—its wide eyes fixed on the dazzling spectacle as ripples of energy washed through the air. As the brilliance dimmed, a soft glow remained. The comet's surface shimmered like polished silver, etched with swirling patterns that shifted and moved as though alive. Starfania stepped closer, unable to tear her eyes away.

" Do you think it's safe?" she whispered. The dragon tilted its head thoughtfully. Magic hung thick in the air—an unspoken promise of something vast and unknown. Starfania swallowed a hard, adrenaline course through her veins. Whatever lay ahead, she knew one thing for certain—her life had already changed forever.
