✨🌙 The Girl of the Silver Forest 🌙✨
🐉 Chapter Two
The Dragon Kingdom
The golden light slowly faded.
Aria opened her eyes.
What she saw made her heart stop in amazement.
Above her head, floating islands drifted across the sky like clouds.
Bright rivers of light flowed between mountains, and strange glowing birds flew through the air.
"This… this place is beautiful," Aria whispered.
Lumi fluttered beside her glowing softly.
"Welcome," Lumi said, smiling.
"Welcome to the Dragon Kingdom."
Aria's eyes widened.
"Dragon… kingdom?"
Before Lumi could answer, a loud sound echoed across the sky.
WHOOSH!
A giant shadow flew over them.
Aria looked up.
Her breath stopped.
A massive silver dragon was flying above the floating islands. Its wings were huge like storm clouds, and its scales shined under the sun.
More dragons appeared in the distance—
red dragons, blue dragons, and golden dragons soaring through the sky.
Aria could hardly believe what she was seeing.
"Are they… real?" she asked softly.
Lumi laughed.
"Of course they are real. Dragons have protected this kingdom for thousands of years."
Suddenly, the ground trembled slightly.
Heavy footsteps approached.
From behind a crystal mountain, an enormous golden dragon slowly walked toward them.
Its eyes glowed like fire, but its expression was calm and wise.
Aria felt both fear and wonder.
"Lumi…" she whispered nervously.
The golden dragon stopped in front of them.
For a moment, it simply stared at Aria.
Then, in a deep powerful voice, the dragon spoke.
"After many centuries… a human has returned."
Aria froze.
"You… you can talk?"
The dragon chuckled softly.
"I am Aurelion, the King of Dragons."
Lumi bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, this is Aria. She opened the ancient gate."
The dragon king looked at Aria carefully.
"Interesting…" he said.
"The gate only opens for someone chosen by magic."
Aria felt confused.
"Chosen? Chosen for what?"
Before the dragon king could answer—
The sky suddenly darkened.
A cold wind swept across the floating islands.
In the distance, dark clouds began forming over the mountains.
The Dragon King's eyes became serious.
"It has begun…"
Aria felt a chill run through her body.
"What has begun?"
The dragon king looked toward the dark horizon.
"The return of the Dark King."
And at that moment, far away in the darkness…
Something enormous moved inside the storm clouds.
Something evil.
Aria's adventure was about to become far more dangerous.
