With both Dragon Little and Dragon Father carrying torches on the Night Planet and the two of them working together, they defeated the three Wicked Wizards.
Dragon Little’s fingers and legs were shaking all the way through. But she said nothing to her father and did not complain.
Her fingers turned white holding on to the torch and would never release it.

“Wow, you were so brave!” Dragon Father told Dragon Little, still hiding her face in his chest, still clinging as hard as she can to her after.
Inwardly, I nodded, agreeing with Dragon Father. She had shown bravery I have never seen in all the centuries I have lived.
“I’m scared,” she whined into his chest. “I’m not brave!”
“You were brave because you were scared, Joy! You’re brave because you still did something that was frightening. You saved yourself! You saved yourself until I got there!”
Dragon Little whimpered, not showing her face.

Dragon Father picked up the sword, this time with calmness and confidence.
Dragon Little was sitting atop the highest branches of the tree, looking down at the clearing. She was five and a half years old and with five and a half years of experience in doing exactly what she wants rather than what her father wants.
The Big Bad Wolf, a giant, black-furred villain that walked on two, stood opposite Dragon Father and smiled, ready for a true and vicious fight this time.

In the middle of the forest, Dragon Father was sitting in the cell of the Big Bad Wolf, made of powerful tree branches, handing from a high tree.
Above him, hidden by the trees, having snuck into the camp, was Dragon Little, almost 6 years old and so much more independent and strong than the child she had been when I had met her almost four years ago.

Dragon Little was almost six years old when Dragon Father was captured by the evil Big Bad Wolf and his lackeys.
Dragon Little and Dragon Father had separated in an attempt to slip past the Big Bad Wolf’s defenses in the forests and steal back the Ball of Light that he had stolen from Princess Red Riding Hood.
The Big Bad Wolf tied up Dragon Father and threw him in a ‘cell’ made out of powerful, long tree branches. The cell was hanging from the top of a tree just above the Big Bad Wolf’s camp.
I suspect that Dragon Father did not put up too big of a fight because his subconscious expected his daughter to come and save him.

Dragon Little and Dragon Father’s adventure brought them face to face with the Wicked Witch of the Northwest in her tower.
The Wicked Witch said, “Finally! You swashbuckling fools have fallen into my trap!”
Dragon Little, only 4-and-a-half years old, raised her hands and shouted. “No! We’re not swashbuckling fools! We’re squashbuckling fools!”

He appeared in the middle of the deck on Bonny’s Revenge, as always in exactly the same spot. She had been ready and waiting for him for almost two hours.
The second he appeared, she started jumping up and down: “You gotta watch this, Dad! You gotta watch this!”
This was done so fast following his appearance, that he shook his head, trying to concentrate on what is happening. As a result, the night sky, the cities in the clouds, and even the winds appeared, then disappeared, then appeared again. It ist the world he creates every time he appears, no doubt without his knowledge.

“Did you know, Joy…” Dragon Little and Dragon Father were both staring at the horizon calmly. It was morning, Joy had just woken up, eaten, brushed her teeth ,and brushed her hair. Dragon Father was calmer than usual, taking his time, not looking for adventure to find him. “Did you know that the Earth is round?”
Dragon Little, now four and a half years old, looked at him, and said, “What’s Earth?”

“Never mind. Look at this.” He pulled out a yellowish object the size of his palm. I have never seen anything like it. I did not know what it was. “This,” he emphasized. “Is a fruit. Uh, or a vegetable. I’m not really sure. It’s a fruit or a vegetable, okay? You eat it.”
She nodded, her eyes crinkling, not following what he is trying to say.
“Now look here,” he leaned into the ship and put the fruit-or-vegetable on the seat. “See?”
She nodded.
“Now I’m buckling it in…. There! See?”

Dragon Father laughed. “Squashbuckling! Ha ha ha! You know… that’s what you take a squash and buckle it into a car! Ha ha ha! I love it!”
