"Tiggger. I know you are in here. I just want to talk." She grabs rocking chair and brings it to middle of room. She sits in chair. I can get past her. I can run. "I mean you no harm. You are safe. The others are not coming here. It's just you and me here." She looking around room to find me. But she no find me. I good at hiding. I hide lots before. She no find me. I need be big so I can think.

"I came here to talk to you. But right now I think you need a story first. A true story that should help you. A story about my past that I think you need to hear." I like stories. But this a trick. She want's me to come out of hiding so she can find me. I to good at hiding. She can't find me. I stay here. She can tell her story. But I stay hiding.

"A long time ago when I was a lot younger I fell in love." Ok I like love stories. I wonder if there going to be castles and knights and dragons in this story? "I fell in love with someone I shouldn't have. Someone that I was not aloud to even be around. Back then, nobody trusted anyone. Our kind were still in hiding. We were never to show ourselves to anyone. But I was young. And I was curious. I was curious about a lot of things back then. I still am a curious person today. But back then I was young and didn't know what I know now."

She like me. I want to know things too. "I ended up getting hurt when I was exploring some old ruins. Something I didn't know at the time was that others were also exploring the same ruins. I was found trapped under some of those ruins by a man. A human man and his friends. I was scared because I was told that all humans were bad. But these humans freed me and took care of me. They thought I was just a human woman that somehow had gotten lost. We didn't even speak the same language at the time. The first week I had a cast on my leg and I couldn't move that well. But the man helped me and talked to me all the time."

That just like me. I had cast on my arm tho. It was hard to move too. And Morph feed me and bath me. He took care of me. "This man taught me his language. It took me a long time before we could really talk. But he was patient with me. Eventually we fell in love. And eventually, I told him what I was. He was getting older and I looked the same as the day we met. Something we both wanted were children. But we never could have any. We found out that it was because he was human and I was a dragon."

I want babies too. But I no can have any. "Well. He had some friends that he trusted. He introduced me to them. He didn't tell them what I was. Not at first. Not until I thought I could trust them too. Eventually I did trust them. And they figured out how we could have a child. Everything was going perfectly after I had my child. We were a real family, the three of us. But then he got sick. He was old for a human by then. But we had people that lived with us to help take care of him. We even had help with our child. A nanny that would help me when I hade to look after him."
