Once upon a time there's a girl who lived in a village, her name is Leah Elyana who got a dream, her dream was to explore the world but first she needs to crossed a mysterious forest.
She resides in a village in the middle of an magical forest, the folks there called it Enchanted forest, it was magical indeed, because of this forest the villagers can get food easily, it got everything they need like fishes in the near river, a bunch on boars for meats near them, and the fruit that can get their stomach full in just one bite, the villagers give this fruit a special name because of the time this fruit saved the lost settlers, the founders of this hidden village, from starvation, they gave it the name "Haylife Fruit" as a reference to the god who made this fruit based on the legends told by the olders to the kids.
But Leah doesn't care about all of this information about her village, all she wanna do is leave this place, she's gone tired, she wanna explore the world, but that's impossible because no one have ever crossed the forest before, the villagers never seen an stranger in their village, and no one dares to leave the village too because they all got what they need here, they got food, water, and the materials to make some of their valuable items, and they said that deeper in the forest lies a dragon, a deadly one, yet despite all of this Leah plans her escape, she sneaks behind her mom when the nights comes in, she vaults in the window because her brother is in the door, and when she is outside she quickly ran to the gate, but there's guard there, and her father was there too since he is the chief of the forest and her father is looking at the gates tonight, but Leah still continues, she leaves her memories with her families behind so she can achieve her dream, and then Leah manages to do it, she is now outside of the forest, she then starts to walk through the forest.
Leah just continued walking until the morning comes, fortunately the forest is full of Haylife fruit so she can't get hungry but her only problem is that, she's lost, no one have ever go deep in this forest than Leah before to make a map, because the people don't wanna do it, or should i say they are scared to do it, only Leah have all the courage to do it. While Leah is in the forest, her mother found that Leah is missing from her room so she asks her son to go look for her, while her son is looking for Leah, she looks for her husband to report the situation, but she suddenly found a note in Leah's bed, it's a letter about where is she right now and her reasons, Leah's mother ran through the gate, she sees her husband there and said "Our daughter have gone missing!" "What!" Leah's Father said as he standing up from his deep sleep,Leah's mother then gives the letter to her husband, and when he receives it he then reads it immediately, after he read it, his eyes widen, he just can't believe what his daughter did, he then suddenly climb the tower next to the gate, and use a special scope that can manage to zoom all the way through the river, they mainly use the scope for hunting, but this time the chief uses it to find his daughter, but the chief didn't manage to see her daughter, she already have gone deep through the forest.
While her own family panicking in the village because of her, Leah still continues to walk, she still want to go deep in the forest, her exploration is just starting, she sees all kind of plants, fruits, and some weird rocks too, she then sees a glaring light in the horizon, very excited of this she suddenly ran to the glaring light in the horizon thinking it was an open area, but when she attain her destination, the open area she was thinking about was actually just a cliff, a deep cliff, she almost fall in the cliff, she sighs and turn around but the rocks in the cliff are weak, it start breaking, she tried to ran away, but she falls.
She open her eyes thinking she fall in the cliff, but when she open her eyes all she sees is the blue sky, she then heard a roar, she tried to stand up but failed, she is in the sky right now, she is panicking until the thing she was riding start laughing, Leah is perplexed because of this behaviour of this mysterious creature, "Why are you laughing?" she inquired, "I'm sorry, your face is just funny when you are scared" the mysterious creature replied why still laughing, she then starts hitting the mysterious creature because of embarrassment, "Put me down, put me down" she repeatedly said while hitting the back of the mysterious creature, the mysterious creature decides to put her down in the top of the mountain, "Where am i" she shouted to the mysterious creature, she was about to shout more to the mysterious creature until she saw the mysterious creature in full view, it was the dragon in the legends, Leah have gotten more scared, not only the dragon put her down in the top of the mountain, the dragon also got a scary look at his face, Leah decided to kneel down in front of the dragon and start apologizing, "Please i'm sorry for what have i done, please don't eat me" she said in front of the dragon while trembling in fear hoping for the dragon to not eat her. I didn't really expected that, i thought she is going to thanks me for saving her, but she's kneeling down and apologizing, and what about eating her?. The dragon sighs, he then speak so he can clear this misunderstanding, "I'm not going to eat you" he said, Leah then stop crying and look at him, "Really?" she said, "Yes", now that Leah thinks the dragon is not a threat she decided to stand up and instead of apologizing she starts to thanking him now.
"So what are you doing deep in this forest Leah?" the dragon inquired to Leah, Leah then decide to express her dreams to the dragon, the dragon's eyes are in disbelief at what this girl is saying, he can't believe someone want to explore this godforsaken world, the dragon knows that this world is not a beautiful one, so the dragon did the best thing he can do to this girl, he then force her to ride his back, then fly to south, while the girl is thinking to what this dragon is doing, until she finds out where is the dragon headed, it's going to her village, she then tried to stop him but no effect the dragon still continues until they arrived her village, all the villagers are in the center to plan on how they will find Leah in the forest, up to the point where the dragon arrives in the village, they are all terrified, the men start getting their weapons while the others are start hiding behind the huts, but the panic suddenly stop when they see the chief daughter in the back of dragon, the dragon wants Leah to go back to her village, but Leah is done with it, and the dragon knows about it so he whispered something in Leah's ear to make her go back to her village, "You are still not ready to see the truth about the world Leah" but Leah unexpectedly whispered on the dragon's big ears too, "Then i will make myself ready" she said, she then jump from the back of the dragon and walk towards her family, her mom scolded her, her father scolded her, her brother scolded, the elders scolded her, even the baby scolded her, but they all suddenly hugged her and said "Welcome back Leah" the dragon sees this and smiled, he then fly away back to his lair,
While the villager get back to their normal duties, the Elenya household is discussing about things about Leah's dreams, "Please Leah" her mom said worrying about her daughter trying to leave the village again, but her father suddenly speak up "Leah you're still not ready to enter that forest", "That's what the same thing that dragon said too" Leah said, her father smiles and said "Of course that's the dragon who lives in this forest for a long time now, he knows anything about this forest and the whole world, he knows how dangerous it was", Lean nods respectfully, she lower her head and think about her dreams, but her father speak up again "But don't worry Leah, we are actually planning a scouting mission to make a map in this forest and i want you to lead it" Leah stands up and said "Really!" "Yes Leah now calm down,were still planning about this mission", they then start eating after that discussion, Leah happily get back in her bed, she can't stop thinking about the scouting mission her father mentions, but she suddenly remember something, "Oh, right i forgot to asks about that dragon's name" Leah said while she is looking at the window next to her bed, at that window she can see everything about the skies, the stars, the moon that got split in two, and those flying mountains, but she sees him, the dragon flying around, it feels like he was dancing in the sky, Leah watch him all the night until she falls sleep, but in the dragon's eyes he is not dancing instead he was fighting, his fighting his shadow, until he also feel asleep.
