ursin8 июня 2021“Ah, my little boy… I have something to tell you before I go…” The captain’s voice was fading away with every passing moment. “Do you remember the stories I told you when you were little? The dragon stories?” A weak, trembling smile touched her bloodless lips. “Yes, yes, I do. Just don’t speak, don’t move, grandma…” he begged. “They’re all true, these stories,” she kept talking. “Emerald dragons. They’re real. Sentient. Curious. They can live for thousands of years but if their destiny catches up with them when they wear their human disguise, they die just like humans do.”
Those were the captain’s last words. Her final message delivered, Ptarmika stopped grasping at life and quietly passed away in her grandson’s arms. Just as the last breath left her body, the crew of the emerald ship heard a piercing cry from the sky. Dragon cry.
