Chapter 2 - Witch Meets a Red-Eyed Child (2/2)

***

The next morning, Noah woke up in high spirits, satisfied. The dragon gone; peace and quiet remain. She hummed her way to the kitchen and prepared for herself a cup of tea.

Today will be another day of peace, she thought, almost skipping in delight.Until a clonk was heard from the window.

There she caught the little dragon, sneaking its way in.

Again, the dragon was wrapped up and sent. It wasn’t until the third time that Eleonora realized that the damn little dragon had no intention of leaving her.

I don’t think I will go to the female lead myself. I don’t know what this dragon did, but he must have destroyed the cage and flown all the way to this place!

By that time, Eleonora, who was sweet at first, became more hostile toward the dragon.

“Hey, dragon.” She called the little dragon who had settled down in front of the fireplace.

The smart creature pretended not to hear her call, now that he knew he’d be tied up to the cage again.

The dragon had grown immensely for just a couple of days. Only yesterday, it had already worn out its forearms; the wings also changed from vinyl-like film to steel-glass-like rigid wings.

Do dragons grow this fast? she asked herself.

The witch became more anxious.

According to the novel, when a dragon reaches the incubation period, it begins to develop an attachment to human beings. Among them, he finds his favorite human and does what he calls ‘inscription’. Imprinting is an essential process for dragons, beings of other worlds, to exist properly on earth.

Obviously, from what I read, the heroine, Lenia, makes a personal vow with the dragon within a month after hatching the dragon. And the dragon, imprinting on the host, humanizes itself as a boy.

A month. Actually, it’s enough time to send him back or whatever. But why am I so anxious?

Today, there is one thing that is entirely different from the last five days.

“Hey!”

A child with black curly hair and dark red eyes walked toward me. He was a little boy who is now about two or three years old.

What on earth?
