The Dragon brusquely turned to go back to sleep again. His red eyes glowed for the last time while he closed his great eyelids that... Oh, shut up! Sorry.

Okay, -- whispered the Princess... and whispered the Writer. -- I guess I am a little scared.

I knew it!... -- I whispered... and the Princess fell asleep.

It was around 8:00 A.M. The morning was warm (or otherwise I would never hear the end of it!) because the sun, that had been out for a while, was majestically shining in an almost clear, blue sky. The blue of the sky was exceptionally intense. The Princess and the Dragon were sleeping, but this wouldn’t last long because the birds were cheerfully singing as they flew between the branches of the trees, and their magical song was an invitation to life.

...

The Princess and the Dragon were still sleeping. They were obviously tired due to the intense emotions they had gone through the night before, but it wouldn’t be long now because the Dragon‘s loud snoring of would soon wake the Princess.

...

Surely, the Princess was exhausted; it seemed like nothing would wake her.

...

...

...

It was noon and the sun, following its natural trajectory, was now exactly above the Princess and the Dragon, who had spent most of the morning sleeping in the shadow of the castle wall.

“Mmmm.” -- Finally, after long, long, long last, Princess Odai stretched her arms. She tried to open her eyes, but she couldn’t because the sun was so bright. I had the strangest, sweetest and most wonderful dream -- she said as she put her hand over her eyes.

So apparently, the Princess thinks that the nightmare she put the poor Dragon and me through twelve hours ago was nothing but a sweet and wonderful dream. Slowly, her eyes grew accustomed to the light and she was able to open them... she opened them very widely... her jaw dropped, so much that her mouth looked huge. No one would’ve guessed that a princess could have such a big mouth.

It wasn’t a dream! -- She was surprised, and turned to look at the Dragon just to make sure. -- The Dragon is here! I’m outside the tower! -- shouted the Princess. The happiness was overflowing from her pale, green eyes and her beautiful body was vibrating with excitement.

Good morning, Writer -- said the Princess in a sweet and flirty tone, as if thanking the Writer for his nice comments about her eyes and body.

Good morning, Princess. -- The Writer felt a little embarrassed.

I see that it’s a warm morning.

Especially designed for you.

The sun is shining high, the sky is almost clear and I feel more refreshed than I’ve ever felt before.

After twelve hours of sleep it’s only natural.

The Princess jumped up and ran to the castle gate. She couldn’t believe her eyes.
