“You woke the dragon.” The hushed voice of a woman said rousing Liam from his sleep. Liam sat up on his arm, half awake, scanned the room and laid back down seamlessly drifting right back in to his dream.
The dragon crept into Liam’s bed while he slept. It circled around him, taking in his every breath, his every movement and watching him dream. It settled in right next to Liam as he drifted deeper into the subconscious of his slumber. The dragon watched him, studying him, wondering exactly what he had called on her for; wondering what it was he would do once he woke up and found her there waiting for him. The dragon was curious; curious as any creature that had been sought after for so many years.
Liam had been dreaming about the magical being for as long as he could remember. She had all the answers. She could deliver anything he asked. Beauty. Intelligence. Strength. She was all he ever wanted. And now she was there. In the flesh. The dream was over. The dragon had arrived.
“You woke the dragon.” Liam heard again, this time sitting straight up in bed to find the myth of his mind standing before him.
“I’m sorry.” Liam finally managed. “I didn’t mean to wake you.” He said, unsure he was awake himself.
“I wanted you to.” The dragon replied.
Liam took a moment. He didn’t quite know what to do. “You could go back to sleep for a little while if you’d like.” He said.
“I can’t.” She replied. “Once you’ve woken a dragon, the dragon is awake.”
Liam sat in the dark, his eyes wide with enchantment and wonder, taking in the reality that dreams do come true… and that once they arrive you have them to do with what you will… or what you won’t.
