Light, stars and the Starlight dragon

Rescue and secrets

They went to the station. Sting wasn't particularly excited about it knowing well what would happen. But there was no other way to travel. Well, there was, by car, however that was even worse with his condition.

They got on the train shortly and waited for it to leave. Sting and Lucy were sitting on opposite sides of the seats, with Luna sitting near the window, looking at everything fascinated.

"This machine is amazing! So that's what humans travel in for long distances..."

"Luna, I have been curious for a while and did not have an opportunity to ask in detail, but...how different is your world than ours? I'm assuming there are differences since it's your first time seeing a train", Lucy asked, in a gentle yet slightly joyful voice.

Luna then pulled her face from the window, facing the two. "Oh...I am not sure if I can describe my world with as much accuracy to give you a great image of it..."

"It's alright, just do as much as you can to explain...we understand it may be difficult to speak well in our language. Though it's amazing you learned so well in so little time."

Luna nodded and tried her best to convey her world into the words of their language.

"To start, my world is really big in size. The world that I call my home is divided in many areas, to which another type of dragon inhabits. As a dragon of stars, I inhabit the sky, or rather the space around my world. Because we live outside the world, we are also guardians of the world. The God that gave us life made us guard his beloved world. "

"Hmmm, well then what you said before to us would make more sense now, if that's the case."

"Yes, well...we are guardians to our own world, but nobody has been tasked to guard another world before. I...this to me is punishment actually."

"Punishment? Did you do something bad?", Sting inquired.

"Yes," Luna nodded, " I have done a mistake. I was to guard something important to the God, but as you think, my head has space like the space itself, and I lost the object that fell onto our world. The object has great power. If darkness arises, it will bring destruction to our kind...so for causing a mess, I was punished. I understand why and I do not mind in truth...I feel terrible for putting my kind in a danger."Even though nothing bad happened, it had been wrong to play with such a powerful object and she knew that.

"Yeah we know what you mean by darkness abusing power. But even if you lost it, nothing happened, right? Your planet is safe still, no?". Sting tried to sympathize with the dragon, thinking it was a bit harsh to be punished for just that. Didn't sound like what she called God was too benevolent to him.

"Do not think bad of me or my God...I know what I did was bad. And I honest understand. Also...I do not regret being here. Even if it is a punishment, I am glad to meet you.", Luna smiled.

"You mentioned you're here because this God sent you here to help with something bad happening. Do you know what it is? Also the other secret thing you need to do...can't you tell us a little about it? Its not like we don't trust You, but we would like to at least know if it's something bad or not...", Lucy asked.

Luna paused a little before replying to them. But just as she was to open her mouth, a loud whistle was heard from the outside of the train and then a shout, making her jolt. The train conductor had waited for all passengers to be on board before departing.

As soon as the train started, Sting started feeling nauseous, and when the train got full speed, his condition was so worse that he could barely stand upwards.

Luna looked at him and then at Lucy, slightly confused.

Lucy smiled and began explaining. "Sting, as a few others you have met, is what people call a Dragon Slayer, as they are usually raised by a dragon from which they learned dragon slaying magic. It's a long story to explain right now, but this nausea for moving vehicles is a side effect to that magic."
