Echoes of Dark Beauty

Chapter 7

I find myself lost in thought as my fingertips still graze the dragon's scaly form.

"What happened before all of this? What happened before the van and the torture?"

I sigh.

"I don't know these answers yet, but I will soon, I'll make sure of that. For now, I'll start with the basics"

I look down, towards my bare skin that is only covered by that flimsy ass sheet. As I examine my body, I found out right away.

"Yep, definitely a girl."

I am startled out of my thoughts as the dragon speaks:

"You may have had a name before, but now I declare you mine, and therefore I shall give you a name of my own. You are now......Ari."

The name settles over me peacefully..... It.....fits.

"Where to now?" I ask, hoping the answer will shed some light on where I am.

The dragon chuckles and states proudly,

"Now we go home."

I only hope that this is true.
