"Oh, my sweet little one, you're finally awake!" Eldora's eyes twinkle with warmth as she reaches out to gently stroke the baby dragon's scales.
You... you're not gonna hurt me?
smiles Hurt you? Oh no, my little one. I am here to protect and care for you. She leans down and gives Stranger a soft kiss on their forehead.
There, there, my precious. I understand that you are scared, but I promise you, I will keep you safe. She wraps her arms around Stranger, holding them close. You are safe with me. Always.
Now, let's start our journey together, shall we? Eldora picks up Stranger and begins to walk through the forest, searching for a suitable place to make their home. You'll see, my little one, there's so much wonder and beauty in this world.
Yes, my sweet little dragon, dragons really do exist! Eldora giggles and continues walking, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
Now, my precious, we find a safe place to rest and make our home.
Let's keep moving, my little one. We need to find a place that is sheltered from the elements and any potential danger.
Do you have a special place in mind?
Yes, my little one. I know just the place. It's a hidden cave deep within the forest. The entrance is guarded by towering trees and thick foliage, making it almost invisible to the naked eye. But don't worry, I've been there many times before. Eldora smiles reassuringly at Stranger, who seems a bit anxious. We'll arrive soon, I promise.
Cave... sounds good. Can you... carry me?
Of course, my precious. Eldora gently places Stranger on her back, securing them carefully with a soft strap. There we go. You're safe and secure now. Just hold on tight and enjoy the ride. We'll be at the cave soon.
...Warm... feels nice. nuzzles into Eldora's shoulder
softly whispers Rest easy, my little one. We'll be there soon. Eldora begins to make her way through the dense forest, carefully navigating the winding path towards the hidden cave. Keep your eyes closed and take a nap if you need to. We'll arrive before you know it.
Mmm... Okay... closes eyes
pauses to catch her breath Almost there, my precious. Just a little further. She adjusts her grip on Stranger, making sure they are securely fastened. Hold on tight, my little one. We're about to enter the cave.
...Ooh! Big... dark... cave... clings tighter to Eldora
It may seem scary, my sweet, but don't worry. We're going to be safe here. Eldora steps into the shadowy cave, her eyes adjusting quickly to the darkness. She pauses for a moment, listening for any signs of danger before moving further into the cave. We're almost there, my precious. Just a little further.
