Golden Dragon

James sighed.

He looked outside the window, sitting on his bed.

It was night, a deep blue and black painted with white stars.

But that wasn't the end.

There was clouds, grey-black clouds, and it was pouring.

It was pouring so much, that James had to close the window before any water could manage to come in.

The rain looked no more like rain, but a fog entering the city.

He tried to spot the nearest building, but the fog tried to block the view of everything, and was successful.

James hopped off his bed and turned on the light.

Just as he was going to his bed --

The light turned off.

Automatically?!

Then, from the window, James saw faint light flicking off.

The rain had stopped a bit, so the fog was a bit faint now.

So James was able to see 2-3 buildings.

All around him, outside the window, faint light started flicking off.

Maybe James wasn't the only one with a power cut.

Anyway, he would light a candle.

James went down and got a candle, and lit it with some matchsticks.

He went upstairs to his room again, and kept the candle on the desk.

Then, from the windows, he noticed something strange.

He ran to the window, holding his lamp.

Dear me - the trees fell on the electric poles!

That explained everything.

Next, James noticed something even weird.

There was a giant tree leaning on one of the electric poles that both the tree and the pole fell down, and the wires snapped.

And there was one shiny, golden-yellow thing which was glowing, and was as bright as the sun ( but not too bright that you can't look at it!) and even sparkly and shiny than a thousand lava lamps and glow sticks.

It was long and narrow, and had scales.

One vertical row was filled with shiny golden scales, and the ones next to it were white.

It was a pattern.

James a binoculars from the corner and looked at the lovely and shiny being.

But James couldn't believe his eyes when he saw it!

It was a dragon!

What was a golden dragon doing in the city?

James, excited, raced downstairs, flung open the door, and wore his sandals.

He just slipped in part, and but his heels were just stepping on the sandals.

He ran towards towards the electric poles, but he didn't know which one to go to.

All were tilted and some fell.

Then, he noticed a golden glow.

He ran towards it at full speed.

Until, he saw what he was looking for - the golden dragon.

' Mmmmm...' The dragon muttered, not noticing James. He was just trying so hard to lift both the pole and the tree.

Then, -- whoosh! -- the tree and pole were standing, just falling again.

James noticed the dragon had a tiny unicorn horn on head.

Then, before the tree and pole could fall again, a golden bubble started forming on the horn.

It wasn't exactly the shape of a bubble, it was the shape of the horn.

The same golden layer started to form on the other trees and poles that fell.

Then, something strange happened.

They all started to lift up, and come back in place.

Many poles and trees started to fix.

Then, the job was finished.

Now, the dragon noticed James.

He gasped at James.

' A human saw me!' He cried. ' Now he will tell everyone!'

James heard that. ' No. I won't tell anyone about you. I--I am just surprised, I never saw a dragon before.'

' Maybe because you believe in them,' said the Dragon, ' that's why you saw me.'

' I am James.' James said.

' I am the Guardian of the Sun and Water, the most rarest dragon anyone can ever see.'

' Water? Guardian of the Sun makes more sense.'

The Guardian shook his head, ' I also have spots like a koi fish, but they are only on my talons and tails.'

Tails?

James looked at his talons and tails.

Indeed, there were some red spots.

But, WOW!

The dragon had two tails!

On the end of each tails were 5-10 feathers.

' James, you need to get home now.' The Guardian said, ' Come on my back and I will take you home.'

James jumped on his back, and the dragon took off to the sky.

It was wonderful, able to see and ride on a dragon.

James felt very comfy, with the light of the dragon, and some cool and lovely breeze blew on the city.

James looked down.

Looking down from the dragon's back, James was very delighted. It felt like being in a dream.

As he looked down, the whole world was spread across to him like a map.

This world is like a giant garden just made for you, when you see up above from here. It’s like being in heaven and watching the world’s wonders from up above. 

A giant swirl of wavy clouds touched James, and he loved the cotton touch of the clouds.

There was a window, and James recognized it, because of the things inside and the way it was designed.

There was a candle on the desk, and binoculars.

' Is that your bedroom?' Said the dragon, pointing to the exact same spot where James's bedroom was located.

' Yes,' said James.

The dragon zoomed there with a gush of speed, and James loved the feeling of a giant gush of air spilling on his face.

The dragon floated beside the window.

' Quickly, get inside.'

James slipped open the window and went inside.

He left the window open, and he saw a golden dragon flying gracefully.

James closed the window, and went to sleep.

The next day, James looked outside again.

Everything that happened yesterday, was it all true?

James quickly dressed, went downstairs and wore his shoes.

He left out the door, and went to the exact same place he went last night.

Then, he saw something glowing on the ground.

He ran to it, and picked it up.

It was as shiny as the golden dragon, it was a feather.

Then James remembered something.

On the end of each tail the dragon had, there were golden feathers.

And.. this feather had the same color.

The guardian left this for James.

James smiled, and looked up at the sky.
