CHAPTER 1: Rain with high probability of reptiles…
It's curious how a rainy day can start and end, in unexpected ways sometimes, as if the rain had a will of its own. Some days, it will pick you up and make you laugh or just make you some company whenever you feel alone.
Usually, every day in Enchancia was beautiful and perfectly happy, just like a dream. However, today was not one of those days for most of the kingdom, for a terrible hurricane had formed in the coast, and even when the capital was considerably far away from the worst of storm, the consequences were still visible. For many days and nights, the land was covered by dark clouds, the kind that carries all sorts of precipitation inside of them.
As it was natural to expect, since it rained in all the kingdom, most of the children were not allowed to play in the outside (save for those families that had certain predilection for this kind of weather, such as Lucinda, the little witch's). And that applied to the royal kids as well. James had been bored beyond known, there had been nothing to do on so many days, (no garden nor playing inside the halls…) and they ran out of ideas after playing the same games again and again. Amber, in the meanwhile, had kept herself locked in her room most of the time, following the same routine: trying different looks with each one of her tiaras, classify her outfits in some way and change it many times until they ended in the first place she had them in at the beginning, designing new jewels only for herself... For Sofía, it was rather funny to spend time with Clover, Mia and Robin, but she really missed having fun outside of her room.
Every day had started and ended in the very same way: in the morning everyone greeted a cloudy sky; after breakfast, they would go to school and in some point of the morning (sometimes right after their arrival, some in the middle of the flight) the rain would restart, light and pacific. By midday, the rain would either slow down or stop lightly (in some rare times, it would be even slightly sunny), but never for too long; at the end of the school, it would be raining again (and getting worse). And this day didn't seemed to be any different from the previous ones.
"Aww… great…" James complained as they looked outside of the coach's window. "…rain again!"
"I don't see why you complain so much James…" Amber said as she fixed her nails "… it will go away soon…"
"Yeah… that's what dad said yesterday… and the day before, and the day before that… and the previous one…" the prince replied tiredly. "There's nothing fun to do anymore!"
"Hey! I have an idea!" exclaimed Sofía "… we can go to see the trolls, their caves are big enough to go and play and they're well protected from the rain; besides we haven't paid them a visit in a very long time" James immediately recovered his enthusiasm and his smile grew wide.
"Sign me in! It will be fun! Are you coming Amber?"
"Oh, sounds like a lot of noise and effort… I'll better remain home" she said not losing her smile "...I have quite an amount of tiaras I haven't used in forever!"
"And a lot of fun you've never had in… forever" added James with a little bit of tiredness and sarcasm combined.
"I know! I had almost forgotten how much fun it is to try lots of different outfits!" his twin answered, not even noticing the eyes rolling as an answer from her brother.
...0.0.0..
Next day was exactly the same current routine they had been having: breakfast first, then the couch to royal prep, classes, lunch, rain starting at midday… however, this day it seemed to stop by the end of school, and yet, the clouds remained in the sky, covering the sun and creating the idea that time had just stopped. The plan remained the same, after school, they took their backpacks and ventured for the troll's cave.
"The road feels good for such a terrible weather..." Commented Sofía.
"Indeed! No mud, no slippery points... ideal for a nice walk!"
"No James, I mean this road is usually more difficult to go through, it's always filled with irregular rocks and your feet hurt a little... And also..." She paused to look around her "...it looks as if something had dug it..."
"Dug it?" The puzzled prince questioned as he looked around, noticing the ground just a little-tiny-bit above the level of their feet. "Now that you mention it... It is a little bit... Sunk..."
"...yeah, like when you draw with a stick on the sand..." They heard someone say above their heads, which made the two royals look up, to find a little witch sitting on her broomstick.
"Lucinda!" Cheered the young princess.
"Hi Sof, hi James"
"What are you doing here?" Questioned James.
"Oh you know, this the kind of weather which us witches love, and I was hoping to get some place to get to ride a wild storm... But I saw this..." She gestured towards the road "... And I got curious... As I can see it ends somewhere right ahead..."
"I think we should follow it" Said the prince. "It will surely be something fun!"
"Or something dangerous" pointed out the witch "but don't worry, you have me just in case we need to defend ourselves"
Sofía giggled and added: "...yes, if we find ourselves facing a manticore you'll turn it into a frog and keep it as a pet..."
"No, I already have three frogs and a toad, maybe a lizard or a mouse... or a snake, I've never had one before..." Thoughtful answered the little witch.
"Tree frogs? How can you possibly have three frogs? A toad, I understand but three frogs? I could barely keep one single frog with me! It hopped all over the palace until it jumped out of a window"
"Well James..." Said Lucinda as she climbed down her broom "... it's not that easy to get a frog, It took me two days to get them all with a chasing-bubble spell, and it was a magic competence..."
The three of them walked through the road still chatting about what pet Lucinda would get with the transformation of whatever-danger-that-was-waiting-for-them-ahead. As they walked they came to a fallen three, judging by the blackness and the way the wood was torn, it had been probably hit by a lightning, they were about to get around it when, suddenly, a loud roar made them stop their steps.
"What was that?" Whispered Sofía, who didn't hear it exactly like roar but more like a voice saying: "HELP!"
"I think, we have reach the end of the sunk-path" said Lucinda.
"What do we do?" Asked Sofía
"Hey girls, you have to see this!" Called the young prince, in a moment the three of them were on their toes trying to look over the fallen three, only catching a glimpse of what appeared to be a big black rock...save for... It could move...
"What is that?"
"I don't know" answered the little witch "come on... Let's take a closer look!"
As if she had forgotten about her own magic, Lucinda climbed up the tree as best as she could, followed by the royals, once again they heard a roar and the black object moved, to reveal a head and a tail, followed by other low pained growls. Sofía heard them, once again, as a voice...
" Is anyone there? Please... Help... Somebody... Anybody... "
"Is a dragon!" Exclaimed James.
"It must have fallen really hard to leave a trail that long" thought Sofía, who approached to the creature. "...he sounds... Like he's in pain..." As she spoke she came closer to the dragon and right when he was about to touch him, he opened his big cat-like eyes and looked straight to the princess. Sofía gasped and froze right in place, along with Lucinda and James.
"Please help us... " said the dragon before opening his wings.
"Look! It's a person!" Exclaimed James. Sofía looked closer and noticed what was around the reptile's torso.
"It has a saddle...!" Exclaimed the princess.
"You mean, this dragon is some sort of pet?" Lucinda questioned with a puzzled look.
"They need help, James, we have to tell dad!"
