So, I woke up on a lily pad this morning and decided to go to the Western castle of the sky. It's a beautiful fortress with colorful spiral staircases wrapping around each tower, that magically sits high in the sky, held up amidst the veil of clouds.While I was visiting, a tyrannical pterodactyl, who had recently set up nest near the south wing, came swooping down with its gaping beak and beat the clouds away with its pounding wings. It scowled at me as I dodged it's honed claws. I climbed down the spiral stairs and grabbed hold of one of the wine-colored windflowers that lace the edges of the castle and clouds together. It took a lot of tugging and pulling and dragging, but the windflower finally released and took me gracefully, but swiftly back down to my lily pad on the crystal river below.
However, as I got back to my lily pad, I found my kinsfolk battling with a small fly-dragon that had been pestering the River Bank. All the folk were afraid to step back on their lily pads, in fear that the fly-dragon may be hiding beneath it, ready to spew it's molopinine acid over their abodes; Fly-dragons are different from the average dragons because they are much smaller, about the size of a smethiyn (if you have ever seen one of those), and instead of spewing fire, it spews molopinine acid, which is a fear-inducing color duller (meaning that it temporarily changes vibrant colors to dull colors while causing people to be afraid). So, here I just wanted to have a rest on my lily pad after such a long, distressing day, but I was afraid to lie down because of a hidden fly-dragon. All the kinsfolk have crystal bubbles from the Land of Soap, except for me. So, they all put their crystal bubbles on top of their lily-pads as a shield, but my lily-pad is shieldless...After the kinsfolk did there best to call the beast out and then set up their lily shields, we all had a feast within the Yellow Chili Pepper fields. It was a nice interlude because it's rare that almost all the kinsfolk get together for a feast.
I, later, heard talk around the bank that the fly-dragon is gone, but well, I'm still a bit on edge and hesitant. My prince called from his royal journey and told me not to be afraid because we, kinsfolk of the River Bank, have a King that doubles as the greatest warrior and even triples as a Father to us all and so He will be my crystal bubble that shields me. I realize that my prince is absolutely correct; even though he is the one of the best fly-dragon slayer and tyrannical pterodactyl tamer in the realm, yet wasn't here on a day when slaying and taming was needed, the King is even better. Guess I kind of forgot about that in all the stress of the day. So, ya, my day has been a pain. But I am thankful that I escaped the tyrannical pterodactyl, have a King Dad who protects me and I have a prince who will be returning from his royal journey soon.
