Narrator:  

Sadie:

Within the castle walls of a faraway land, there was a garden, with the walls surrounding the garden covered in wild vines. It was a walk in garden, with a gravel path and a beautiful fountain in the middle. There were midnight roses, vegetables and many other flowers. Near the fountain, there was a was a sad jester, she was weeping from getting some horrible news about a certain family member. Suddenly someone walks up to the jester 

Nova: what's wrong Sadie? Is everything okay? You don’t seem hurt anywhere? Why are you out here all alone? 

The jester, Sadie, was weeping into her hands while sitting near the fountain. She looks up after hearing her speak 

Sadie: oh. Hello Nova. Sorry, I’ve just gotten some horrible news about my brother.... 

Sadie said, while trying to hold back tears. Trying not to cry again 

Nova: how is he doing, is he okay?  

Sadie: sadly no... he has passed away.... 

Nova: that's unfortunate. I hope you and your mental health gets better and I’m sorry about your brother. 

Somewhere outside the walls of the garden, was a dragon born. Curious about what could be on the other side and wanting to know what he could steal. decided to finally do it, swiftly he got over the wall and landed on the gravel path. He begins to look around, trying to find anything that could be interesting to him. He soon finds the two, nova trying to comfort Sadie, while Sadie is still slightly weeping from her loss. Confused by the situation, he slightly begins to walk over to the two, wanting to know what could be wrong. 

Salem: so, uh... Why are you crying? 

Salem said, while just gingerly swaying back and forth, looking around the garden. Nova looks away from Sadie to see Salem, slightly confused on how he got here. But ended up brushing it off, not really caring. 

Sadie: I’ve gotten some horrible news... wait, how did you get here? 

Sadie said confusingly, wondering who they were and how did they get into the garden. 

Salem: uh, don’t worry about that, but you know what would cheer you up? 

Both Sadie and Nova looked at each other before looking back at him with a curious gaze. Salem gave them both a toothy grin. 

Salem: how about you guys join me on a small trip... (does a small jazz hand gesture) to steal some stuff from my mom! 

While Sadie looked slightly horrified by the idea of stealing, Nova didn't look like she cared. More likely slightly looking excited about the idea of doing something like that. Both Sadie and Nova spoke at the same time 

Sadie: w-what? 

Nova: Sure, why not, lead the way I like possibly getting myself into trouble. 

Salem’s grin gets slightly wider as he leads the way, leaving the garden. Nova soon follows behind, while beckoning Sadie to follow along. Sadie still confused and dumbfounded by the situation, hesitates before finally following behind, slightly grumbling about how much trouble this is goanna be. They soon leave the castle, having Salem lead the way confidently and Nova gingerly following behind while Sadie is hesitantly following the two while sloaching. Soon after a while of walking and geting halfway there, Salem decides to speak. 

Salem: so uh, what kind of things are y'all goanna steal? 

Nova: Personally, anything that could be helpful with my witchcraft or even better Jewlery 

Sadie: I-i don’t think ill steal anything, ill just follow you guys... 

Salem: aww come on, you’ll probably find something you like 

Nova walk up towards Salem, now walking next to him, she turns slightly to face him while walking 

Nova: By the way, how did you get into the garden and how did you find this place? Also we never got your name. What would that. 

Salem releases a small chuckle, and faces nova while pointing at him self 

Salem: uh, don’t worry about that part, but the name’s Salem. What’s y'all's name? 

Nova: my name is Nova, I just wanted to know how you got in my garden because the walls are as tall as the trees and are as strong as steel. 

Sadie: the name is Sadie... 

They continue to walk and make small talk. with Salem leading the way and Nova beside him, while Sadie is sulking behind the two. Salem slows down and stops, he turns around to face Sadie with a slightly confused expression 

Salem: so... What WAS that sad news that you had heard about your family? 

Sadie: oh... just some news about my brother passing away... 

Sadie said, becoming gloomier and trying to hold back tears. Salem stands there awkwardly, slightly glancing at Nova. Then he looks at Sadie with a confused expression. 

Salem: Oh! I'm sorry about that, family can be a bit a bit uh... Hard? To lose? 

Nova: Let's not talk about sensitive topics now. Let’s just get what we came here for and leave. 

Salem just gives a subtle nod, then they begin to walk again. Still having Salem leading the way while making small talk with Nova. Sadie following the two close behind, only talking from time to time. Soon they get closer and closer to the cave. but Sadie accidentally being to close the Salem, steps on the back of their heel. Soon Salem begins to scream insults before facing Sadie. 

Salem: HEY! what was that for? I didn’t do anything to you! 

Sadie’s trying to explain what happened, but with Salem yelling at her, she couldn’t form words. Then Nova jumps in, defending Sadie 

Nova: HEY! They didn’t do anything, it was an accident, don’t yell at them so, learn some respect. Everyone makes mistakes! Get that through your dragon born head or is your brain to small to comprehend that people make mistakes 

Salem: HEY my brain is not small it is average sized, unlike your husband. 

Nova: Not that I can tell if you can’t see that everyone makes mistakes so accept that your brain is small...HEY DON’T BRING MY HUSBAND INTO THIS BEFORE I PUT A ANGELIC SPEAR THROUGH YOUR SKULL 

Nova and Salem are now standing close, looking at each other with an annoyed expression on their faces. Glaring at each other, daring the other to make a move. Soon Sadie slow moving's in between the two, trying to stop the agreement. 

Sadie: can we not... argue, lets just get there and you guys can steal whatever. 

Salem and Nova just glare at each other but soon agree.  

Nova: Fine but I’m only going to stop arguing to make Sadie happy 

Salem: yeah whatever. 

They began to walk again, with the three-walking side by side. With Sadie in the middle, Salem on her right and Nova on her left. Time to time they glare at each other, they soon get the cave, just outside. Salem stops in his tracks to face the two. 

Salem: just a warning, my mom just be asleep. So we have to be VERY careful and quite, alright? 

Nova: Alright I don’t have problem with that I’m quiet when it comes to stealing stuff 

Sadie just gives a small nod, then Salem goes in while the other two begin to follow. They walk around quietly, looking around sometimes and trying to find anything interesting. They soon find an old wooden door. Its slightly open, so Salem walks up to the door, pushing it open. 

Nova: Whoa this is a lot of riches Salem, I have seen a lot of riches in one spot but in a cave wow this is impressive but my vault is better than yours 

Salem: Yeah, yeah, whatever. Take what you want before mother wakes up. 

Nova: Okay I will and add it to my collection not like you know what personal collection you is just use your mommy’s collection to impress people 

Sadie: lets just... get whatever and go, im too tired for this... 

They room was full of gold and many other treasures. They soon split up, looking for anything that they would like. Salem finds an egg made of soiled gold, Nova found golden cups with gems on them. Finally Sadie finds a shell made of gold. They soon come back together, holding the items in their hands. Salem looks at the both of them then looks at Sadie with a slightly confused look. 

Salem: hey I thought you weren't goanna take anything? 

Sadie: yeah well... i thought it was nice so... 

Nova: *looks towards Salem* alright, lets go now before your mom wakes up 

They all leave quickly and quietly, not wanting to wake up Salems mom. They left the cave with their stuff. Once there outside, they thanked Salem and bid him goodbye. While Salem goes back to finding more things to steal and looking for adventure, Nova and Sadie go back to the castle.
