Steemit Challenge - Season 28 Week 1: Zany and the tiny colored dragon

Hello all Steemians,

Contest: Steemit Challenge - Season 28 Week 1: Zany and the tiny colored dragon hosted by @dove11.

Here begins the story from their prompt:

A world where emotions are personified as creatures roaming the streets. It had been raining all afternoon, leaving the city streets gray and deserted. Zany pulled her hood tight, the cool breeze against her skin as if reminding her how alone she was. Then she saw a moving figure weaving colors through the mist.

Zany was stunned when she saw a bright, fluttering little colorful dragon dancing just behind a pothole on the side of the road. She remembered everyone saying that little dragons appear when you least expect them, but she never thought she would ever see one.

It floated toward her, its wings glittering on her wet jeans. She felt as if all the dullness around her was now filled with color. She reached out her hand, trembling.

The dragon landed gently on her fingertips, and in that moment, she felt the heaviness in her chest ease a little. She managed to smile, feeling something she hadn't felt in a long time. Was it a spark of joy? They walked together into the evening, light spreading behind them...

And now, my small attempt to move forward, making these fantasies a reality:

Amazed, filled with fear, already angry, zany had never imagined that this evening she would encounter a small dragon with colorful wings. Still, looking at the small, colorful dragon that had come very close to her, she asked him:

"Are you the same dragon child that appears in stories, tales, and movies as giant, flying, animal-like birds that breathe fire when the occasion demands it?"

The colorful little dragon politely replied to zany in a human voice:

"Yes, my sweet girl, I am a dragon of the same species, but you need not be afraid of me. I will neither breathe fire nor scare you. I have come to you today only to make you happy."

Zany was now quite confident after hearing his polite reply that this dragon child did not intend to harm her. So she asked him, "Why in this entire world did you choose me to meet you today?"

This time, the dragon smiled seriously and said, "I chose you because today, I too had a fight with my mother and left home." And just today you left your house in a very sad mood. God has given us dragons the ability to read people's minds, and as I passed by, I saw a beautiful girl with a similar mindset as mine, walking alone through the wet streets."

Zany sighed deeply and looked at the dragon and said, "Yes, my friend, you're right, I was very sad today. My father is a very bad person. He fights with my mother. He comes home drunk every day and creates a scene, abusing her. Today too, they were fighting so badly that I felt like leaving home forever. But now that I've met you," she said, "and I like you too, I want a promise from you: whenever I'm sad or upset, you'll come to see me." Tell me, are you okay?

"Yes, I will definitely come, but you will have to promise me that you won't tell anyone about me. Whenever you want to meet me, just remember me from the bottom of your heart and come to a place where no one comes. And that place should be huge, because in a few days my size and weight will increase and I will become a huge dragon."

"Okay, my dear friend Zany, I must be leaving now. It's been a long time since I left home. My mother must be worried. You too, go home and explain it to your parents lovingly when they calm down."

With this, the little dragon flew away and disappeared.

I hope you enjoyed my story. In this sequence, I invite three of my friends to share their stories here.@suryati1,@solperez and @sualeha
