Norah's Backstory

A few years ago, I was exploring near Dragon Country, in the Realm of Markadron. While I was walking, I saw a dark cave. Without thinking, I went inside.

At first, it was just a regular cave, but then I saw a glowing mushroom. It was really pretty! I went closer to get a better look, and then I noticed there were lots of glowing mushrooms all around me. The cave was lit up like magic!

Suddenly, I heard a loud growl behind me. I turned around and saw a HUGE dragon! She stepped out of the shadows, her eyes glowing and smoke coming out of her nose.

“WHO DARES TO ENTER MY CAVE?!” she shouted, her voice booming.

“Uh… me,” I said, trying to sound brave. I reached for my bow just in case she attacked.

“THIS IS MY CAVE!” she yelled. “YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE! LEAVE OR DIE!”

I quickly pulled an arrow from my quiver and got ready to shoot. The dragon roared and breathed fire. The flames were so close that they almost burned the tip of my arrow! I fired anyway, and the arrow hit her, knocking her to the ground.

I walked up to her with another arrow ready, but before I could do anything, the dragon spoke. “Wait! Don’t hurt me! I wasn’t trying to be mean! I’m only angry because I feel lonely. Everyone's scared of me, and no one wants to be my friend because I'm a fire breathing dragon.”

I lowered my bow. “You’re lonely? That’s why you were angry?” I asked.

She nodded, looking sad. “Yes. I just want a friend.”

I thought for a moment and then smiled. “Well, maybe I can be your friend.”

Her eyes lit up, and she sat up straight. “Really? You’d do that? Thank you! I promise I’ll never breathe fire at you again! You can visit my cave anytime. My name’s Luna.”

“I’m Norah,” I said.

We talked for a little while longer, and then I left the cave, feeling happy. As I kept exploring, I smiled to myself. If I ever got into trouble, I knew I’d have Luna to help me.
