I was searching the forest for the way out. Because of the unknown barriers, both guardians are unable to scout in the air. So I had to walk on foot instead. Easier said than done...I bet my poor feet has already grown blisters(I'm still barefoot! )...I panted and came to a stop. No, not to rest, but I had bumped into feathery Rinslet.
[Look Lin! Looook! It's soomeoneeeee! ]
Lin? That's my name...how did they know? I never mentioned it to anyone. It was a secret I could never let out and was somehow locked in my torn memories. I looked to the area where Rinslet pointed, and hid towards the nearby bushes subconsciously. Several boys who look like they're in their teens played around mischievously. Judging from their clothes, they're students? They do not look menacing but it's still better to take precaution.
I stayed as silent as possible, in order not to be found out. I eyed them closely as they started to talk about something that involves "Luminous". I changed my position.
"Who's there?! "
I flinched. It was so sudden, a flash of red and orange shaped like a ball came flying towards my direction. I was stunned and was about to scream when something soft and warm covered my mouth and pulled me away forcefully. Purple haze blurred my vision, I felt dizzy from all the spinning images as the person now carrying me like a princess ran as fast as lightning. Everything went black as long as I know it.
"Hmm..."
Something soft and moist pressed against my lips. Again and again, it kept coming. I was too tired to open my eyes so I kept still, until I came to my senses. Why was there something against my mouth? Is it because I'm sleeping head-down onto the floor? No, it isn't. It's something or someone kissing me. I flew open my eyes, big, looking at the "thing" pressing against my lips. I couldn't see anything. It was actually ornate purplish-blue. So pretty...yet it feels so nostalgic...
I stopped thinking and moved myself backwards to see a small winged creature lying on my chest, a bit larger than my head, with it's tongue out, ready to lick me again. I cringed. It shocked me at first but I regained my composure , faster than any normal human would. When I looked closely, it was actually a dragon with two beady eyes with the colour of black, makes me feel so hollow that I want to fill it with so many things.
"Kyu? Kyuuuuuu! "
I moved backwards some more. Where was Rinslet and scarlet? Where am I? I eyed it closely, it may be a threat to me, in a way.
Uncontrollably, I unwillingly threw myself onto the adorable dragon. I don't know how or why I would remember I will have this kind of reaction towards adorable creatures regardless of their threats, but if they were harmful, I would know immediately and wait until I sense that it is going to attack me. But...this one creature, gives me really strong nostalgic feelings. I've never seen it before ,yet..
