The
Eternal One
Chapter 8
“…….no Lily is not 3 years old……Lily is
5 years old, Lily turned 5 when the flower woke up this year” (???)
To
everyone’s surprise the one who spoke was none other than Lily herself!
As Lily woke she sleepily opened her eyes and
stared intently into the eyes of the king, who found himself at a loss for
words not only because Lily had spoken, but because right now the Biggest, Bluest,
and most beautiful eyes were glued to his shyly peeking out from the jacket she
was wearing, (even though she had much better clothes Jeff insisted that she
keep it at least until they were in doors) Intently she was staring a various
parts of the King’s face and the king himself could only smile and felt joy
deep in his heart for it was not the first time he had the pleasure of staring
into a pair of Big Beautiful Blue eyes, if was then her mother would have been
the first, though to him they were equally beautiful….
“Um… Mister
is Lily in trouble?” (Lily)
With a
slightly apprehensive voice Lily asked, however she hadn’t expected the loud
laughter surrounding her nor did she expect the very LARGE Dragon’s head taking
a peek at her over the man’s shoulder. As she looked and stared at the dragon
she suddenly remembered something…
“um… Did
Lily die and go to heaven, when Lily touched the big rock? Lily is not sure cause;
Lily’s body still hurts all over so Lily was thinking Lily didn’t die, but hm…
Lily did talk to someone in Lily’s head that said everything will be alright
and he’d take care of Lily, so Lily thought it might be god, but was that you
mister?” (Lily)
As the king
heard he couldn’t help, but smile wryly cause the one who most likely spoke to
her was… A
“Master, you
are awake I am so glad I was so worried I wouldn’t be able to talked to you or see
you when you woke up!” (Dragon)
When the
dragon spoke to her Lily’s eyes went wide, she was really, really surprised…
“Mister did
the dragon just talk? ….Ah! Mister is it your dragon?!” (Lily)
For a moment
the King could only chuckle cause the only Lily had done sense woke up was one
question after another, however it was understandable due to how young she was
and the fact of everything that had happened.
“ My dear to
answer your questions 1st no you’re not in trouble, 2nd
Lily is very much alive wish make this old man at least very happy, and 3rd
the dragon you just heard is not my dragon, but he is YOUR very own dragon.
What do you think about that?” (Thomas)
For a while
Lily was silently looking at the dragon and then she’d look back at the king
and then back to the dragon. Then suddenly king chuckled and nodded. Lily went
wide eyed staring at the dragon who was staring back at her…. Nevously Lily
says…
“Umm…. Is Lily
really your owner? Lily really thinks you’re a good looking dragon, but lily
doesn’t have any money so Lily doesn’t know if Lily can take care of a dragon
and with how big you are Lily could never feed you enough food o-or give you a
good place to sleep, Lily would try...too though if Lily could… um…W-why is
everyone laughing, Lily is serious….” (Lily)
Before Lily
could even finish speaking, everyone was bursting out laughing even the king
who was holding Lily couldn’t help, but chuckle. The only one besides Lily who
wasn’t laughing was her dragon.
“I’m sorry
for laughing my dear, it is just here in this country anyone and I mean anyone
who holds the title of dragon master is automatically taken care of NO
exceptions, well except for BAD dragon masters but there really aren’t many of
those kinds of people, but even so you are an even more special case where you
can leave this village and live in a grand old palace where you’ll be treated
like a princess for as long as you like and of course your dragon will be with
you and he’ll be feed, have a very good place to sleep, if you wish we can even
set it up so that where you two sleep is right next to each other. How does
that sounds…?” (Thomas)
Tears fell
from Lily’s eyes she didn’t fully understand what was going on, but Lily
believed that it might mean that she is going to a good home where she’ll be
taken care of and so too will her new dragon. But Lily remembered the last time
she thought she’d be able to be useful…
“Um… i-is
that true you wouldn’t lie to Lily like Henry did saying Lily will be useful,
but only try to kill Lily?” (Lily)
When the
King and everyone heard that they realized Lily knew what she had been brought
to do, and their hearts sank.
“No I would
not lie to Lily about something like especially because of who I am, Ah that is
right I have not introduced myself have I? My name is Thomas Ashbourne and
while you may not know this your mama was my daughter and that would make you
my granddaughter, if you wish you could call me grandpa.” (Thomas)
Lily was
silent for, but a moment.
“um…are you
really Lily’s grandpa? Mama said Lily’s Grandpa lived far, far away in a big
city and a big house, but mama said grandpa would be angry, if he mama had Lily…”
(Lily)
Lily had
stopped she could she the sadness in her grandpa’s? eyes…
“Ah sorry, I
was a stubborn old man when your mama left with your papa, if I could I would
turn back time slap my old stubborn self-silly and talk some sense into him,
but I can’t however your mama left me a beautiful gift and fate has offered to
give this old man a chance to do things right, and I do not plan to screw up
again…Ah sorry, sorry I mean, I regret what I did to make you mama feel like
she could never come back home I swear no matter where you are where you go my
home will always be your home okay?” (Thomas)
Lily thought
for a moment and then nodded shyly.
“Okay Lily
will go live with Grampa, but is it okay if we go mama and papas house first?
Lily needs to get Lily’s hidden treasures and other things.” (Lily)
All the
Villagers started relaxing and heading home. The dragons that had surround the
small had long sense left after confirming the young master of the new dragon
prince was safe and sound.
Although one of the older dragons that heard
everything that the little girl had gone through took a little detour and flew
over the hut that the head elder was held in and relieved herself of the excess
waste that she was carrying.
By the time
they reached the home Lily lived in the sun had already begun to set in the
western sky. When the king saw the house Lily had been living it had only flared
up his anger again, that held towards the Elders. there are several spots on
the walls needing repair and several spots on the roof that need repair. As he
was thinking this Lily’s dragon walked up…
“This is no
house for my master to sleep in… however because it was her parents’ home I…guess
I could do a little something for her.” (Dragon)
All the
knight watched as they felt the magic power swelling around the area of the
house and as if time was on rewind the slowly restored itself and the same the
day her mama and papa finished it.
Lily seeing
her mama and papa’s house looking all brand new (on the outside of course and
some inside stuff too but not as much) again Lily excited ran towards the
dragon wrapping her little around his
leg giving him a hug and thanking him…
“O…of course
if it is for my master and I have the power I’ll do all I can to help….Ah, but
I while don’t really need a reward I-I was wonder if it wouldn’t be too much
trouble to ask, if master could give me a name?” (Dragon)
Lily stepped
looking up at the dragon and then wave for the dragon to lie down, he did and
then Lily started walking around the dragon every so often she’d stop walk up
to the dragon pat its sides, its tail, its legs, then its face lastly she clumsily
climbed up on its backed lying on the hidden Lily sized patch dragon hair,
which Lily adored more than anything and bit of time wrapping herself up in it.
Then out of the blue she stops climbs down, and walks to the front of the
dragon thinking for a moment and speaks…
“Fluffy” (Lily)
