Summer: Day 2

It’s hard to swallow that I’m a princess. Me? A PRINCESS!? It’s like
a wish comes true. Well, I once wanted to be a princess when all of my family
members – my previous family members, actually, ignored me.
Dad told me this morning after breakfast. He said that I need to
know the truth. He wanted to tell me last night but he wanted to surprise me,
waiting for the right time.
I met people in the Middle. They are only 30 people. Some of them
are still travelling, seeking adventures and spying on the bad guys. I met my
friends and they were happy to see me. I realized that they are the ones I met
in my dreams. And I remembered their names!
We chatted and chatted until lunch. We had lunch together under the
sun. Even though it’s summer but it’s not too hot. The weather is fine. Since
day is longer than night (it’s summer, obviously), the girls were curious
whether I still remember the boy whom used to be my mutual enemy. I met one
this morning. His name is Pyrite and he’s very annoying, especially when he told
me that he can do magic greater than I am. He laughed at me when I still can’t
remember a lot of things and he made me wanted to whack his head!
Then Dad told me about the Dragon Pearls when we hang around the
house in the evening.
You see, I’m the Lomss clan princess and I was born as a dragon
rider. The Dragon Pearls, on the other hands, are the symbol of the birth of
the dragon riders. Dad and his brothers have each – the pearls nearly aged more
than 400 years according to the shape and colours. Dad showed me the Dragon
Pearl that he kept at home. It’s a size of a tennis ball but I can feel that it
had its own power.
I asked about my Dragon Pearl but Dad said that I need to be a
dragon rider first, and then the pearl will appear. Some need to be searched
because they were scattered everywhere. But only the dragon rider can find it.
Aunt Lithium came by. She has short wavy hair and for me, she’s like
an actress. She’s my mother’s good friend and Dad told me that she’s an expert
in carving. She also knew more about ancient history. She said that I need to
learn the Lomss language and she’ll be teaching me during weekend. I can’t wait
for language lesson!
I need to sleep early because tomorrow is my first day of training.
