All in Age: 4
Real adventure, real villains are dangerous. I know more than others, for I have seen many deaths of my fellow dragons, many deaths of dreams, and many humans die while dreaming.
But adventure in Dragon Father’s dreams are fun. Sometimes Dragon Father finds ways to make the adventure even more fun.
“Morning good, Joy!” Dragon Father woke his daughter up cheerfully in her cabin.

Dragon Little was four years old when Dragon Father announced they would go off to fight the Pirate Witches of the West.
“I want to go to the Trampoline Stairs!” she said.
Dragon Father shook his head. “We have to save the planet first, Joy.”
She tried again after a few seconds, “I want to go the Trampoline Stairs first!”
With sword-fighting, laser pistols, swinging off ropes, and Dragon Father somersaulting in the air while fighting with two swords, Dragon Little and Dragon Father fought off the Red Pirates who tried to overtake Bonny’s Revenge.
The Red Pirates leapt over the railing to one said and onto their ship.
“That’s right! And stay out!” Dragon Father yelled at them, his tone as happy as I’ve ever heard him.
“Stay out!” Four-year-old Dragon Little shouted after them as well.

Dragon Father and Dragon Little looked over the railing. Bonny's Revenge, their flying pirate ship, orbited the Planet of the Gorillas.
"Their base is over there," Dragon Father pointed. "Are you clear on the plan?"
Dragon Little, 4 years old and already adept at fighting villains, nodded.
"Good!" he slammed his hands together. "Let's do it!"

Many hours after he had disappeared, Dragon Father appeared on the deck of Bonny’s Revenge.
He looked around.
“Oh, Joy!” he shouted, and ran to the helm.
Bonny’s Revenge rose into the air and flew at a speed that matches a dragon’s to where Dragon Father had left his daughter the previous day.

After Princess Adriana left Bonny’s Revenge for her arranged marriage, Dragon Father set off on his quest.
It was a wild quest, where he single-handedly defeated frost giants, orcs, and a terrible scheme to forge a single ring that would rule the entire world.
The adventure was wilder than usual, more violent, required more effort on his part, but Justin Shelley, Pirate Extraordinaire, was up to the job.

He stood in the middle of the deck and slammed his hands together. “All right! What do you want to do? Party!” He grimaced. “I hate parties. A movie?”
He began to pace the deck. “Saw them all. A show? Broadway? Stand-up?” He waved it aside. “Ahh, I don’t want to waste the two hours on that.”

Dragon Father flew Bonny’s Revenge all alone. The deck was empty. Dragon Little’s cabin was empty.
Even to me, afar in my hiding place, knowing and seeing that 4-year-old Dragon Little was safe on the small island - even to me it felt strange.
Dragon Father landed the flying pirate ship they call home in the port of another island.
“Hello, my good man,” he addressed the armored elf guarding the entrance to the island. “I am Justin Shelley, pirate extraordinaire, and I come at the request of the King of the Elves.”

Dragon Father flew off in Bonny’s Revenge, the pirate ship that served as his and his daughter’s home in his dream.
Just a few moments ago he had left his four-year-old daughter, which I lovingly call Dragon Little, on a small archipelago in the middle of an ocean, as he set off on a quest.
Another moment of flight, and his hands began to twitch and his leg bounced nervously. I am assuming it was because he was far from Dragon Little.

“Joy, today we have a great, big adventure in front of us!” Dragon Father told his four-year-old daughter as she finished breakfast.
“Yeah?” she looked up at him with excitement in her eyes.

“Look closely, little pirate,” the Super Ninja said.
Dragon Little stood next to the villain she had just released. The two were faced the closed door to Dragon Little’s cabin on Bonny’s Revenge.
Dragon Little nodded.
“Hiiiiiii-yaaaaa!” the Super Ninja yelled as he ran at the door quickly, jumped on it, ran up vertically a couple of steps, then jumped and flipped in the air, landing on his feet.
“The trick is the speed,” the Super Ninja said. “If you’re fast enough, you can do it.”

Dragon Father had disappeared, having woken up in his other world which I had never seen, but the Super Ninja was not yet handcuffed and the handcuffs were held by the sweet, four-year-old Dragon Little.
Neither the Super Ninja nor Dragon Little responded in any way to the fact that Dragon Father had disappeared.
“Come on, give me your hands,” Dragon Little said.

After a few hours, Dragon Father exploded in anger, threatened her that she would never have anything to wear, then apologized for having raised his voice.
Dragon Little did not waiver at any point. She curled into herself when he yelled, but she would not waiver.
Then Dragon Father spent an hour pacing back and forth on the deck of Bonny’s Revenge.

Dragon Little took it in hand. It was not at all like Blue Pirates’ captain’s shirt, which she had insisted on.
“Oh, yeah, very beautiful,” she turned it around in her hands, then threw it over the deck and into the ocean.
“Joy! You can’t do that to clothes!”
“It fell.”

Dragon Father appeared on the deck of Bonny’s Revenge the very next day. He appeared with a smile. He took a step forward, yelled “Joy!” and then his smile disappeared.
His head lowered in despair.
He sighed. “Oh, no…” he whispered.

Dragon Little’s shouts, stomping, and threats did not help her this time.
Dragon Father ended it, and then witches attacked them.

Dragon Father dragged out the box behind the wheel of Bonny’s Revenge. Usually, there was no box there. But when Dragon Father and Dragon Little needed to get Dragon Little new clothes, it would appear there.
The box was wooden, about a meter long, half a meter wide, and half a meter in height.
Dragon Father sighed. He did not look forward to this.

Dragon Father appeared on the deck of Bonny’s Revenge, the pirate ship he and Dragon Little live on.
He was in an extraordinarily happy mood. He ran to Dragon Little’s cabin, woke up his 4-year-old daughter, and woke up with “Rise and shine! Shine and rise! It’s time to have adventure in the sunrise!”

“Huh…” Dragon Father kept thinking. “Hmmm… Okay… I get that.” He took her hand. “You know, I don’t know what Red meant. She’s mysterious, right?” Dragon Little nodded.
I smiled. Mysterious? Me?! If my cheeks could burn, I’m sure they would have. How did I achieve such a status? I’m just a lost, unlucky child, then an adult.
I did not know what to do with myself from embarrassment.

The dolphins leapt into the air, as high as the deck itself, then back underwater, never losing speed.
Dragon Little and Dragon Father watched excitedly from the deck, waving hello to the dolphins and laughing from joy.
“Hello, little dolphin friends!” Joy shouted at them after Dragon Father told her what they were called. “Hello!”
The dolphins made a sound back, apparently saying ‘hello’ in their own language.
“They’re so cuuuuuuuuute! So cuuuuuuuute!” Dragon Little squeezed her father’s hand.
