The adventure was over. Dragon Father had vanished early in the adventure and never returned to finish it. Dragon Little was able to finish the adventure by herself and imprisoned the villain in the infinite prison in the belly of Bonny’s Revenge.
Dragon Little had parked Bonny’s Revenge back in Earth’s ocean and spent her time walking back and forth on the railing, keeping her balance.
Something bobbed up underneath her and she stopped to look.
It was a big sea turtle. He bobbed his head above water.
“Thank You!” Joy exclaimed. “Thank You! You’re back!”
It was a bit more than a year since Dragon Father had created an archipelago with a sea turtle that Dragon Little befriended while he went off on a quest alone. The archipelago had disappeared, but the turtle, which Dragon Little had named Thank You, had remained behind even while Dragon Father was awake, and saved Dragon Little’s life.
Since then, Dragon Little had not seen Thank You, nor have I.
Dragon Little ran to the plank and leapt into the water.
She hugged Thank You and climbed aboard his shell.
“Oh, Thank You, Thank You, what have you been doing all this time?”
The turtle moved his head from side to side.
“Not much?”
The turtle nodded.
“Say… Thank You… Want to go on adventure with me?”
The turtle nodded.
“In the sea?”
The turtle nodded.
“Let’s go!”
Tomorrow I will tell you of Dragon Little’s adventure with Thank You the turtle.
