Dragon Little woke up after a few hours.
She moaned and stretched her body on the giant leaf she had been lying on, in the giant forest, in the Land of the Giants. Bonny’s Revenge had been swatted like a fly by Ymir the Angry Giant, while Dragon Little and Dragon Father were still in it. It had been too fast for me to swoop in and save her. And it was a miracle she hadn’t died.
I would not like to see her die, but I did think and still do that it may save her years of pain in which she would wish she was dead.
Still, that would be in her future, I believed. Those seeking her, after all, were very good at what they do. They would eventually find her. So now, while alive, I would do best to not assist her. In that way I would perhaps increase her ability to escape and fight off those who seek her a little bit longer.
Dragon Little moaned and groaned at every movement.
It hurt. She had been hit hard repeatedly as her fall was being broken by giant stems and leaves of the forest.
She rolled up one side of her pants. Her legs were blue everywhere.
“Owwwww…” She said softly then sighed with resignation.
She rolled it down and rolled up the other. “Ooooooooow!” she said and it seemed that even her fingers hurt when rolling up her pant leg.
That side was also blue.
She rolled it back down.
She stood up slowly. “Oooooooowwwww!”
Standing, she rolled up her shirt to look at her stomach and bottom ribs. There were blue spots all over.
She could not see her back, but I could. It was also covered with blue wounds.
“Ohhhhkay,” she said and looked around.
She was in the middle of the giant forest and she was not even as tall as the grass.
“Ohhhhkay, no problem,” she said and looked up.
Through the high trees, through the leaves, just as I was seeing her, she saw Bonnie’s Revenge, her flying, familiar home of a pirate ship. It was floating steadily high above the forest.
“Okayyyy!” She said. “Dad!” She shouted. “Dad!”
But her father was awake and not in the Dream.
She breathed in deeply, and shouted as loud as she could. “Daaaaaad!”
She stopped. I am sure she realized that even if he was there, there was no chance he could hear her.
She looked around. “Ohhhhkay, no problem,” she said.
