Misfortune

I stood staring at that light, that small glowing sphere. The one that surely haunts me day and night. But the more sadness grew within me as I stood with my hand upon my chin. I felt broken, but when I looked at that light, something within me grew pure.

That, I thought, was a Dragon’s heart. It was dark red, with a pure creamy center. It was a beautiful glass, but it looked fragile. It looked as if I could crush it with my smooth palm, and spread its wonder through my blonde locked hair. I wanted to keep its thoughts, its feelings, within this creamy white center, and find the truth of all Dragons. Why were they evil or good in some ways that many creatures couldn’t understand?

I sat there with my large brown eyes realizing something blue, thin, and wet. It dripped slowly, one after another, down this small sphere. More came, and within the time I watched this moment of true darkness, I found the truth of this “darkness”. Its truth spread a crossed before me; it lay down upon my palm and slept. It was a small expression, one which rarely happens, yet when it comes, people care.

That expression knelt before me, crying its deepest thoughts, whispering every drowned moment that crashed upon its head, and waking to the dawn that haunted itself to the pit of agony. This expression was named Misfortune, for its bad luck and sadness. He began to stare at my eyes for hours, asking every curious question that went with his small mind. But I stared back at him, listening to every small word, moment, thought, but I did stand there. Watching him, I realized that as the time creased by, and the smiles and laughs he grew on me, I could feel happy in this lonely world. He began to smile with me, and all those sobs, stories, and whispering was conquered.

Because I truly understood that Dragons were harmless, and they loved humans more than they thought. Because without someone beside us, we have no reason to fight back…

  

-I love this story. This has a moral:

When you make a friend, do not speak the truth, do not stop them when they ask questions. Listen carefully to what they think, and try to put yourself in their shoes. And becareful, for if you say something to force them away from you, you will be lonely and lost.
