We stayed under the tree for hours. Till I happened to yawn. Ynos nuzzled me to pick my head up from where it was resting.

  “Sounds like you're really tired. Maybe you should go home and rest.” He suggested.

  “I don’t want to…” I pouted, blinking a few times to get my eyes to focus on him.

  “Come one, let's go.” He suggested again, this time with a bit more force as he tried to stand up.

  I used ice to hold him down to me, staying snuggled up to him, “No.” I pouted again.

  “Come on, Lost.” he said, trying to stand up, breaking the ice.

  “Noooooo” I pouted more, clinging to him.

  I heard a deep sigh from him, as he decided to scoop up the remaining chocolate, “Where is your house?”

  “My house? Oh… ahhh… I don’t know.” I replied.

  “What do you mean?” He asked, confused.

  “Well… I just… find wherever I am going to.. After ahh.. Getting lost…” I stammered out of embarrassment.

  Ynos stood there in silence for some time, seemingly contemplating what it was I had said. I could understand it if he didn’t believe me.

  “If I get lost while carrying you will I get home?” Ynos finally asked after a long silence.

  “I… I don’t know.” I admitted.

  His nod, and then proceeding to walk while I cling to him, made it clear that he was going to find out now.

  “Your game plan is just to get lost now? I don’t think it will just take you home. It usually goes to what you're seeking.” I clarified.

  “And what I want is home.” He said.

  “Be careful what you wish for-” I started as we ended up walking to where Aether and the rest of his siblings were staying, “Or we might go where you want.”

  I let go of him and then shyly I gave him some chocolates, “Have these. Maybe we can have a- ahhh, more of those tomorrow.”

  Ynos nodded, “I would like to spend more time with you. I really enjoyed today. If you-”

  He froze as I leaned in close and kissed him. Shyly I got some space between us.

  “Well see you tomorrow!” I shouted happily that I finally made the first move.

  Almost skipping, I made my way down the street. I did not have a goal in mind as I was reliving that moment over and over in my head, feeling my face get warm with the thought.

  ‘I actually did it. I couldn’t believe it.’ I thought to myself as I squealed with happiness.

  After having walked home, I jumped into bed and curled up, happily before allowing myself to drift off to sleep.

  ***

  I woke up still in my bed. Looking around it didn't seem to be a dream. I was in my room. Sheldor was laying at the foot of my bed sleeping, otherwise it was as I had left.

  “No sleep walk today.” I noted, as I got up and stretched.

  I made my way into the kitchen and ate some food, as I thought about what I should do today.

  “Well, you know you could do whatever you want,” Abyssal whispered from behind me, before taking the seat across the table from me.

  I met her gaze, then rolled my eyes, “Well no dah. I just don’t know what that is yet.”

  Abyssal form sighed, “You don’t get it. The amount of power you have!”

  “What? The ice I create? It's not that strong. Aether, now that's mana strong. Ynos that is muscle strong. I am neither of those. I am just a water dragoness, who quite literally froze over.” I responded.

  “Your biggest problem is not believing in yourself, or seeing your own potential.” She said before dissolving away.

  “You need to stop… ah, looking so shady.” I huffed.

  I took a look at the meat which was in front of me, and sighed. It seems when I talk to my abyssal form I lose my appetite. This time was no different. I picked up the food and put it away before making my way over to the nearest window, and putting my face up to the glass and looking outside, I saw the weather was clear.

  “Seems things never change. I kinda miss the unpredictable weather. The stormy days, that I would bring Hickory into the cave to protect him from. Not that he needed protection from it the same way dragons do.” I chuckled, remembering when I got excited seeing my first storm and got struck by lighting while flying.

  ‘I should go by the Morgan guy, and get some more food for Sheldor.’ I thought to myself, finally having made up my mind.

  ***

  Walking along the road, the light was slowly starting to get visible, and not many others were on the roads yet. I was approaching the shop when I heard voices from inside the shop.

  “Give us all you have, old man!” A muffled dragon’s voice shouted.

  “I don’t have anything! I promise!” Morgans voice could be heard.

  I poked my head inside, to see a dragon holding down Morgan who is pinned to the ground sword out of his reach, and two gods standing behind the dragon watching from a distance.

  I felt rage simmering within, as I grabbed the ground.

  “Do it.” Abyss whispered in my ear, as I felt a strange power brush its way down the scales of my arm, as ice extended from me and quickly crept the legs of the two gods who were standing watch and becoming solid, freezing the gods legs in place.

  ***

  “It doesn't have to be any harder than you making it to be, old man. Just give me your money and we leave.” I growled, feeling the warmth and assurance my flames brought to me. The fire dancing along my scales.

  I was so focused on the old god in front of me, it took me a second to hear the commotion from the two i brought along, to look back. The sight I saw sent shivers down each of my scales.

  In the doorway to the shot stood a dragoness, of blue scales, who seemed frostbitten. Her eyes a furious bright blue, with almost pink dancing within the darkness. What was scary, was the ice was clawing its way across the room, grasping and freezing everything it touched. It was quite visible, but it was like the smile of a dragoness was that of a monster. The pressure blasting through the door into the room, it took my legs all they had to keep from buckling under me.

  The two gods I brought to keep watch of my back were incapacitated by the ice, and my chances for escaping were getting smaller by the second. I took all my mana I had gathered, and shielding me in its warm embrace I shielded myself as I jumped at the nearest window and crashed through it to escape the building.
