Dragon Season

Ceremony Stealers?

It was later that day when I started getting ready for my Number Ceremony.

Once I slipped on my sun-yellow dress and twirled myself around twice.

I did a few little folk dances then bowed as if I was dancing for a crowd.

My ceremony started in about an hour and the horse drawn carriage ride took about half of that time, then to get seated after the meals took up the other half, so I decided it was time to get the show on the road.

After I was out the door and about to get into the dark blue carriage, I remembered something... but what was it?

I shrugged it off and got in.

After a couple of minutes I remembered what it was that I needed desperately.

The gold ring!!

I screeched a high," Halt!!" To the driver and slammed my face into the back of his seat when he pulled on the reigns.

"What is it, my dear?" He asked.

"We need to turn around, now!"

"But why, your majesty?"

"For a special ring, sir talk-a-lot, now turn this carriage around before I declare your death!"

I have never said that before, and I don't have the authority to do that yet, not unless my mother and father agree, but I needed that silly ring.

I had a thought in the back of my head that when I put the ring on my hand, I was able to achieve anything I wanted to accomplish.

The carriage quickly turned around and soon enough I was in my room searching for the ring, but it was no where to be found....

I panicked and looked some more, but I hadn't the time to stay any longer.

We left for the Ceremony and the next thing I knew, my hand was I the black silky hat, scavenging for a number.

I pulled one out and opened it.

I read aloud to the crowd and said," Seven."

I was scared for a second. My whole family had always gotten 3s.

How can I get a stupid Dragon tamer when my Mother, Father, Grandma, and Grandpa are all Gods and Goddesses.

That's kind of how I'm a Princess.

The lady who was up on the podium with me handed me a silver box and it had a sticker on the top that read Bently Simon's Honor Gift.

I opened it and nearly fell back when I seen the gold ring...
