|ON HOLD FOR A BIT|
Sabra Mendez always seemed to be a magnet for the strange and unusual in her otherwise ordinary world. Her most frequent guests were dragons. Big dragons, little dragons, red dragons, blue dragons, loud dragons, quiet dragons, rash dragons, and passive dragons. She knew each of the regulars by name, even a set of twin dragons that came in separately once a month. Sabra knew dragons better than she knew herself. . .
Twenty-eight-year-old Sabra Mendez leads anything but a normal life in the coastal city of Buenos Aires, but nothing could prepare her for coming into possession of a dragon egg. Now, she will have to embark on a journey to restore the dragon to its rightful place and keep it from those that wish it harm. The story of an amicable bartender, a precarious witch, a feisty theater major, a mysterious loner, a ten-year-old boy, a naive hatchling, an arrogant princess, a silent historian, and a disdainful spy on a journey to bring peace to the modern mythological world surrounding them.

I have three semesters of high school Spanish, decent research skills, and a fairly open mind. There are going to be all sorts of flaws because this is a challenge with the resources at my disposal. Please provide any constructive criticism you can with culture, language, or even story. As long as you're polite, I will take it with the utmost respect! :)

In desires we chase, what stakes shall we embrace?
Pinaniniwalaan na ng karamihan na sa gitna ng kasiyahan ay may kaakibat na kalungkutan. Kasunod ng halakhak ay daloy ng kalungkutan, at sa kahuli-hulihang pagkakataon, hiniling ko na sana hanggang doon na lamang iyon. A price of happiness that pays the condition of sadness
Until the very last drop of second I have... I wished to feel the condition of remorse. Yet, I never had the chance to feel anything.
Dahil ang kapalit ng kasiyahan ay ang aking kamatayan.
I thought my life ends there... but that is how it actually started.
Never been in my wildest dreams to die on the day I was born, and worst, to open my eyes where everything is unknown. The place I found myself in, the people surrounding me, and even myself-or the body I have, to be exact.
I died as an ordinary, untamed, reckless and free teenage city girl, thinking it'll be that way until my very last breath. However, I was wrong, because I came back to life as a princess with cold chains on my body. Isang prinsesang pinagkaitan ng kalayaan at nakakulong sa rehas ng nakaraan.
She was deemed to be a cursed princess, and how unfortunate am I, to have that as my second life.
