You look over to a far off lake, where kids are being loaded into boats. That's where you're supposed to be.
"Can you get me a bit closer Drak? I don't think I can go so far by all by myself" you utter softly. You felt so vulnerable and helpless as an 11 year old instead of an 18 year old.
"Okay Gil, I'll take you over, but if I'm seen we're gonna have a lot of explaining to do" he nods firmly. Your face flashes an invisible thanks when you mount him.
He drops you off in a isolated clearing not too far from the lake. "I think I'd better get going Gil" Drak mutters solemnly as he dropped you off with your stuff. You heart dampens, you didn't want to have to separate from your dragon Drak so soon!! What if Drak got hurt all by himself!!
"Don't worry Gil, I'll be okay!!" Drak says, alleviating your concern. He gave you a long, deep hug with his wings, before you separated. Reluctantly, he then flew off into the lonely night toward the forest. Your baggage seemed to weigh down heavier and heavier the farther away he flew. Once his silouette faded from sight, you suddenly felt cold, confused, and so, so alone.
