That night I ran away from home.

I didn't want to marry that young man, I didn't love him.

But my father did not understand.

He said that only then would we save the kingdom... But he also said once that he only cared about being happy.

I don't know how long I fled, but I found something worse.

A gloomy panther.

Next to her puppies.

They surrounded me and cornered me during my escape.

Now she would be his prey.

Maybe I should have stayed home.

But as if that wasn't enough I heard the terrifying roar.

Those monsters fled and I could only see those big green eyes looking at me curiously.

A dragon.

My mother always told me about how terrifying they were and their great Malice and desire for destruction.

We can only face them.

And as in those stories.

She picked me up and took me to a faraway cave.

What would she do to me? Will it slowly devour me? Will I be your new toy?

"...Hello"

"No, don't eat me!"

Although it seemed strange to me to hear it, I decided to beg for mercy in front of him.

And my new life began.

He let me in and went hunting.

So I decided to run away only to see that the cave was on a very high mountain.

I cried a lot that day.

He came back with large leaves in his snout and what looked like fruit on one of his legs.

He didn't want to eat but he was very hungry.

And he watched me through the whole process.

Days went by and he seemed bored, then he said something strange to me.

"...I scare you?"

"...all...all dragons are scary!"

"...why?"

"Why, because they are giant and scary!"

"...I get it"

So for 10 days I watched him suffer trying to do something weird.

But when I saw the beautiful boy in front of me, doubts grew in my heart.

Since then he never appeared as a dragon in front of me.

He asked me for hugs or to pat him on the head.

We walked through the gigantic cave of him but... It was very strange and scary.

When he asked me again if he wanted me to stay next to him.

I answered something different.

"I want to go out, dragon lord... Please let me out"

Then he misunderstood something and took me to explore many places.

I clung to his horns and saw beautiful scenery that I never saw when he was in the castle.

Watching again a beautiful sunset above the clouds.

I felt something strange in my heart.

But tonight his gaze was different.

So when he asked me if he wanted to stay next to him… I hesitated for the first time.

But in the end I responded the same way.

So he agreed and he told me that he would go to his house.

That night I couldn't sleep.

He was quiet for a while.

Why do I accept this time?

If he refuses, maybe I...

At dawn we went hand in hand all the way.

And we arrived at the family kingdom that I missed so much.

So he asked the same question again.

But she was cornered.

Look at the great army and my father on the walls.

Then I looked at the boy who was clinging to me and waiting for an answer.

So I refused again.

What would he do?

Would he take me back to his cave?

Will he laugh at me and tell me I can never get away from him?

Will I have to listen to his stories night after night while I gently stroke his head?

All those fantasies in my mind were shattered by hearing his voice.

"...you can't regret it after choosing..."

He readied his wings and left.

I don't fight, I don't force myself, he didn't do anything.

I only fulfill my wish.

I watched my father hug me tightly as the army talked about the despicable dragon.

He couldn't stop crying.

Nor stop the immense pain of my heart.
