#207: The Death of the Evil Fairy Forest King

Guy Hasson
Age: 5, Told by The Red Dragon

It is time I told you how the Evil Fairy Forest King died. I have told you of the events that led to his death. I have told you how his behavior affected the 5-year-old Dragon Little. And I have told you how she discovered his body. 

But it is something I should relate. Because you need to know what happens in the belly of Bonny’s Revenge. 

The prisoners in the Infinite Prison are all villains captured by Dragon Little and Dragon Father during their adventures. When Dragon Father is away, in his waking world, the villains become Dragon Little’s companions. 

What does that mean? You will see.

#205: Killing Is Wrong, Part 2: Killing Is Right

Guy Hasson
Age: 5, Told by The Red Dragon

Dragon Father joined Dragon Little on the deck of Bonny’s Revenge, leaning against the railing, and put a hand around her shoulders. They stared off at the horizon of the endless ocean in silence for a minute or so. 

“He didn’t need to die,” she said through gritted teeth. 

“I know,” Dragon Father said softly. 

“I don’t need protection,” she said.

#202: Joy's Broken Heart

Guy Hasson
Age: 5, Told by The Red Dragon

Dragon Little came out of her cabin, looked at the ocean around her, turned and entered the door next to her cabin, the one leading down to Infinite Prison at the belly of Bonny’s Revenge. 

I heard her shout, not scream. I cannot see from my hiding place into the Infinite Prison, but I knew what she saw, for I had heard what had come before, and I heard his gurgling. 

Inside his locked cell, the Evil Fairy Forest King lay on his back, a big, burnt feather stuck deep into his neck. He was still moving, gurgling, and barely breathing.

#201: A Villain Wins

Guy Hasson
Age: 5, Told by The Red Dragon

As usual, she went down to the Infinite Prison in the belly of the ship to talk to some villains that have become her friends. As she walked, I heard the Evil Fairy Forest King whisper at her with his grating voice, “Ah, your father tried to teach you leadership, did he?” 

“King…” I heard General Hawk’s voice rise menacingly. Only a few days ago did he threaten the Evil Fairy Forest King for successfully planting self-doubt in Dragon Little’s mind. 

The evil king ignored the faraway threat. “I only say that he seems to prepare you to lead. That is good.”

“King… Shut your mouth!” General Hawk’s voice grew fierce.

#200: While Joy Sleeps

Guy Hasson
Age: 5, Told by The Red Dragon

The dream ist quiet when there ist no dreamer in it. Bonny’s Revenge, the pirate ship that serves as home for Dragon Father and Dragon Little, sailed silently and slowly on the waveless ocean. But in the belly of the ship, in the Infinite Corridor which serves as prison for the villains Dragon Little and Dragon Father capture, the villains who stay behind even when the dreamer who created them wakes up - those villains remain awake. Almost none of them sleep. 

They rarely talk among themselves, but this time they did.

#199: A Seed of Doubt

Guy Hasson
Age: 5, Told by The Red Dragon

There are so many things I have told you about Joy Shelley, the little human girl I lovingly called ‘Dragon Little’. I do look at her as the daughter I could never have. 

There are so many things to tell that I fear there will never be enough time to tell them all. 

And yet, as much as she amazes me every day of her life, she ist human and bad things can happen to her when villains are involved.

#198: Blue or Red

Guy Hasson
Age: 5, Told by The Red Dragon

They had taken Bonny’s Revenge, their pirate ship that could fly the skies and space itself, to the Planet of Nanotechnology. They had heard that the evil Nanotech King was living in the highest tower on the planet. 

Now that they were searched the planet, they found that there were two highest towers, one next to the other, each identical, except that one was blue and one was red.

#197: Making Decisions

Guy Hasson
Age: 5, Told by The Red Dragon

“So, Joy, say we’re on adventure, yeah?” He sat on the plank and she, only five years old, sat on his lap. She nodded. 

“Say you’re alone because I’m chasing a villain, yeah?” 

She nodded. 

“And you’re chasing two villains. One goes this way, one goes this way, yeah?” 

She nodded again. 

“Which one do you chase?”

#196: Being a Leader

Guy Hasson
Age: 5, Told by The Red Dragon

She did, however, raise her eyebrows at the last thing he said. “What’s a leader?” 

“A leader. It’s someone who… leads…” 

She shook her head. He continued, “Someone who tells everyone else what to do… but not in a bossy way…” she shook her head, “...a commander… someone who knows what to do… who makes sure we win... “ she shook her head harder and harder and Dragon Father was growing more desperate, “... Someone who has a team, and who trusts the team, and the team trusts him. I mean, her. Or him.” 

“So… a team?” 

“Yes!” 

She looked around. “What team?”

#195: Up Your Ass!

Guy Hasson
Age: 4.5, Told by The Red Dragon

“Up your ass!” 

Dragon Little, only four and a half years old, stood on the deck of Bonny’s Revenge and thrust forward with her small sword.

“Up your ass!” She yelled again as she hit another imaginary villain. 

“Up your ass!” She had climbed on the railing of the deck and fought her imaginary fight while keeping her balance.

#194: It Starts with Elephant Dung

Guy Hasson
Age: 3, Told by The Red Dragon

“You stepped in elephant poo. Your shoe has elephant poo all over it. You’re going to take it off, take all of your clothes off, and get into the shower.” 

“Uh uhhhhh,” she sung back. 

“Joy,” he spoke with greater strength. I have been witness to her behavior for only a year, and I knew how impossible it was to convince her to do something she did not want to do.”It smells! You smell!” 

“I like the smell!”

#188: In the Land of the Giants, Part 5: You Suck!

Guy Hasson
Age: 4.5, Told by The Red Dragon

Dragon Little was stuck at the bottom of a giant forest where she was smaller than a grass blade. Far above the trees her home, the flying pirate ship called Bonny’s Revenge, floated without moving. That meant her father was not there. He had vanished. 

But in a few hours, he would return. And since he always returned to the ship, she knew she had to be in a visible place when he reappeared.
