down gently and landed beside her. Both were still quite shaken after what had happened.
“By the way” said the dragon politely. “My name is Mew. Could you please explain to me what happened back there? How did you do that?”
“How did I do what?” asked Mianda
“That rip in the air. I have never seen anything like that in my whole life, and I’m not that young anymore,” he grinned “Not that I’m that old.” Laughing then becoming serious again “ I can’t have caused that because I don’t have any magic powers. So, that just leaves you, doesn’t it?” answered Mew.
Mianda looked up at Mew and didn’t know quite what to think. All she knew was that it had been a close call. It had nearly caught hold of them. It was strange but she had no answer for Mew. She looked up at him and sighed, while he was staring at her.
“I don’t remember doing anything. I just thought it would be great if the air would just tear open and we could fly to safety.” She explained “But, do you really think I did that? Wow, not bad.”The thought made her head spin. Magic powers, she should have known that while she was still on the farm, things would have been somewhat different for her. Even though she was still shaken after that adventure she couldn’t help thinking about what had happened. If she had really done that, then what else was she able to do? “How exiting!” she thought. But then, another thought crossed her mind. With a frown on her face. “I saw you die. How is it you are alive and here?”
Mew looked at her with his large blue eyes. “Someone was very sad after I had died.” He replied softly, with a slight tremor in his voice. “Someone cried. And those tears fell onto my face, and these tears were full of love and magic. These two powerful elements put together…strong magic.”
He thought for a moment before he continued. “Yes, very strong magic. Your tears brought me back from the dead and I must say, your magic is strong. And I will never forget that. No matter where you go or what you do, I will always be there to help you whenever you need me.”
He went on “And that is what happened back there. Now, you have saved us both. I bow to you”.
With that, the dragon bowed his head in front of her showing her his respect for her. Mianda jumped up and tried to push his head up. “No, that’s not right, don’t do that.” She cried out. “You saved me” She put her arms around Mews head and held him tight. They stayed this was for a couple of minutes. Then Mew pushed her away gently and said “You wait here, I’ll be back in few minutes. I just want to see where we are”. Mianda stepped aside and let Mew take off.
Mianda looked for a place to sit down and rest awhile. It was quite dark now and she was extremely tired and very hungry and thirsty. And it was getting cold so he took out the cape she had found and covered herself with it. She curled up and fell asleep. She had been so tired she didn’t hear how Mew came back and began looking for her. He couldn’t find her so he took off again, thinking she might have gotten lost.
Several hours later, Mianda woke up to find herself alone. She looked around and called out but Mew was not there
She folded the cape and put it back in her shoulder bag.
She waited another 10 minutes, she thought Mew might just be looking for something to eat and he would be back soon. But, he stayed away.
“So much for always being here when I need him” mumbled Mianda more than just upset.
Mianda decided to move on. She wasn’t sure which direction she should take so she decided to climb a tree and take a look around. She quickly found a suitable one and began climbing. About half way up, she held her hands in front of her eyes and she saw what looked to be a deep valley in the distance. “Ok, that is where I’m heading” and climbed back down. She walked all day before coming to a clearing, through which a small creek made its way. It was getting dark so she began searching for berries to eat. Then she found a place to lie down and fell asleep.
She took nearly 3 days to find her way through the forest. Every now and then, Mianda was able to find berries and fruit trees with interesting fruit. She felt terribly left alone. Once or twice she would find a dead rabbit or a small bird, but Mianda didn’t much like the idea of eating meat, let alone eat it raw.
At last, she arrived at the valley she had seen in the distance. But, what was this? Small fires were burning everywhere and streams of lava and thick smoke. Why hadn’t she seen this from the distance? She would have taken a different route instead of this valley. Now, it was too late, it would take her days to find a way around it. It was steamy and hot and the thought of having to go through there was frightening.
Mianda sat down on a stone and thought about what she should do.
Fire Valley, a fairly wide valley filled with everything that reminded of the crater of a volcano thinking of erupting. The strong smell of sulphur filled the air, making it difficult to breath and the heat was nearly unbearable.
“Do I have to go through that?” asked Mianda herself in a frightened voice. She then checked her water bag, was satisfied she had enough water.
“Ok” talking to the egg she had taken out, she had wanted to check if it had hatched yet. Luckily it hadn’t so she carefully put it back in her shoulder bag where she hoped it would stay safe and sound. Then, with mixed feelings and speaking to the unhatched egg “I suppose this is the only way to get across. We’ll have to try it on our own, Mew is gone, I don’t know where but don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you. Just hurry and hatch so I can see what you are.” But before she left to try walk through her thoughts went back to Mew.
“I’m afraid so” answered Mew apologizing “It‘s the shortest way to go. If we were to go around it could take weeks. And we don’t have weeks. I have to get you to Ask abet, there you will be safe”
“Why do I have to go there? I don’t know anyone there. I don’t even know what that place is” She exclaimed rather upset. “I’ve spent all my life on this farm and hadn’t spoken to anyone other than those that lived there. And I am being chased by I don’t know what, I lost my best friend and I’m here, goodness knows where. Could you please tell me what is going on?”
Mew looked at her and shook his mighty head.
“I’m afraid I can’t help you there. I just know you were there for me, you gave me my life back and I am really grateful. I will do anything for you; even give up this life again.” Replied Mew. “I don’t know who you are but I know that you are special. And worth saving. That is why I am taking you to Askabet, no matter what it takes.” He watched her closely. He could see that there were many questions there. But he also saw there was something else. Mianda looked at Mew sadly. Tears running down her face.
“I’m nobody. The only good thing that ever happened to me was Boomer” she tried to explain to Mew. “But he is gone and I don’t know where. Then, you came into my life. A real life dragon and you now, you are my friend. And I love you for that. You helped me more than I helped you, and you
know that.” She went on “But I’ve been thinking and I don’t know why this is happening to me but I don’t want to see anything happen to you. I mean, even if you are a dragon and can spit fire”
Mianda stood up, took a deep breath and made her way down into the valley of fire. The closer she came the hotter it got. Smoke and flames shot out of tiny craters and out of some others lava would shoot up. Carefully, so as not to be burned, she made her way through them. The air was hot causing her to cough, and every now and then she was took a small sip of water to wet her dry throat.
Mianda turned her head to see how far away she was from the forest she had just left but then, she shook her head. “No chickening out” she told herself trying to encourage herself. “I’m going to make it. Just like I made it across that stone bridge in that cave without any help.” Several hours passed and she still had quite a long way to go. Several times she slipped out and hurt herself. And it was extremely hot. She knew, if she stopped to rest, she could get hurt, so she kept moving. Every now and then she would look around to see if Mew had found her and would come down to be with her, but he was gone. “Good” she thought “He doesn’t have to risk his life for me. That’s not right. He now has a new chance so he should take it. I’ll manage somehow.” But she really didn’t know how.
Heartbroken, but still thinking she had done the right thing, she went on. Nightfall was setting in but it wasn’t getting any cooler. Even though darkness was setting in, there was more than enough light to see where she was going. But, she was getting tired but she also knew, here was no place to rest. Then, she saw something that looked like a cave in a small mound. Maybe she could stay there for the night. She went over to take a look, but before she could go in several pairs of glowing eyes glared at her, forcing her to step back. That anything could survive let alone live here was a mystery to her.
Filled with despair, she began looking for another place where she could lie down for a few minutes. Just a few minutes, and then she would go on. The wind began to freshen bringing some fresh air, but she felt hot and tired. She took off her top but quickly put it back on because she could feel her skin burning.
Pulling herself together, she decided not to rest but keep going. It took a lot of mind power to continue even now, now that it was getting dark.
“No. No, I am not going to burn” She told herself. “I don’t want to die here.” She cried out loud. “I don’t want to die at all”
“Don’t want to die at all” Startled at hearing an echo, she looked around but couldn’t see anything.
“Don’t want to die at all” The words were repeated again. The voice was high pitched and loud in the silence of the night. Another voice began screeching the same words and then a whole chorus of voices started repeating those words. Mianda held her ears closed with her hands but it still got louder and louder. A tiny head appeared, peaking from behind a small lava crater. It had long pointed ears, beady eyes and a long snout with sharp teeth. Several more of these creatures
“By the way” said the dragon politely. “My name is Mew. Could you please explain to me what happened back there? How did you do that?”
“How did I do what?” asked Mianda
“That rip in the air. I have never seen anything like that in my whole life, and I’m not that young anymore,” he grinned “Not that I’m that old.” Laughing then becoming serious again “ I can’t have caused that because I don’t have any magic powers.
