In The Castle

Gyrio P.O.V: I was flying through space, thinking about what had just happened. Should I tell the King? It would make things a lot easier, but.... I don't know! My brain is telling me to tell Him, but my gut says not to! I sighed.  Well, listening to my gut has kept me alive so far. I could see the castle now, a huge shadow suspended in space with large, cylinder-like dark grey engines on top and at the bottom of it. The castle had 5 or 6 large tiers surrounding it, and several smaller tiers inside of the ring of big tiers. There was one tier larger than all the other ones, and it looked like it went up forever. I went to a small, dark grey bump crafted inside of one of the tiers, and spoke to the guardian dragons. One of them was an old, girl dragon with a kind face, and the other was a young, male dragon, who looked to be around his mid-twenties.
“ Who passes?” demanded the younger one.
“ Gyrio. Gyrio Ghenien.” The older dragon looked annoyed, and asked,
“ What is the code?” I recited the code, which took a few minutes because it was so LONG! When I finally finished the code, the younger dragon flipped a small, bright red switch, and said,
“ Enter.” A small hole appeared in the tier, and I squeezed inside. I tip-toed out of the entry door, not wanting to wake any dragons up. I greeted one of the maids, Mabel. I liked Mabel because she would always give me a roll from the kitchen, or maybe candy. She whispered a greeting, and handed me a lollipop. I thanked her, and continued to tip-toe to my room. When I got there, I swiftly opened my ruby-red lollipop, and started gnawing on it. As I chewed on my lollipop, I thought more about the girl dragon I met. I could tell she was holding back in that fight, but I don't know why. Was she trying to spare me? If so, then why?  While I was pondering reasons why she spared me, my older sister, Layla, stumbled into the room. I could see the bags under her eyes, which she probably got from  planning battle strategies all day. She normally only came into my room because she wanted something. I expected her to ask me to do something, like do her chores, but instead asked in a sleepy voice,
“ Gyrio, I heard reports of a rogue dragon outside the perimeters. Could you bring a few guards and check it out?” I said,
“ Yeah, sure.” and padded out of the room. Layla gave me a groggy thank-you, then ambled down the hall to her room.

  When I arrived outside with 2 guards with glistening iron armor, I saw a strange shape among the stars. When I took a closer look at it, I saw it was actually a dragon. I motioned the guards to follow me, and we stealthily glided toward the dragon, which turned out to be the rogue dragon Layla was talking about. He was a large, burly Darkness dragon, and he was lazily flying toward one of the large tiers. Me and the guards swiftly flew behind him, and tazed him. The rogue dragon became paralyzed, and didn't move, other than a few twitches at regular intervals. Before he started plummeting to his death, me and the guards caught him and flew him back to the castle. When we got back to the castle, I told the guards to bring the rogue to a prison cell. When they left, I went back to my room. When I was in my room, I plopped down on the bed. I spat the lollipop stick out of my mouth into the garbage can, where it landed with a soft thud. I rolled over on my other side, and closed my eyes. As I thought about Anna and her feistyness, my body started demanding sleep. I drifted off to sleep with one question still lingering in my mind.
 Am I getting attracted to her?
