Once upon a time there was a girl who lived in a land of books, music, and company. This girl loved to read, for who could not in such a land? One day she read something that made her heart skip and her mind wander. There was a world, a beautiful, enchanting, far away and mysterious place that she must journey to and discover why this land had such a hold on her. She became fascinated with this other world. It was called Oasis and she knew that one day she would go there and see what it had to offer.
So the girl planned. She researched. She read. With all of her books and music and company, she learned everything she could about Oasis and with every piece of knowledge she gained, she yearned for more. It was unquenchable this urge to leave. Some days she would just let her mind wander to the point where, when she returned, she couldn't fathom where she was or what she had been doing.
The girl's friends and family were supportive, if a little perplexed at why she chose Oasis. Why that land? It is so far from your lovely home, they said, why must you go? She simply replied, I must. And that was the end of that.
You see, the girl knew that she had to go to Oasis. Not only because she read about it and fell in love with the land, but because she knew in her heart that, at least for a little while, she belonged there.
Well after months of research, reading, questions and answers, the girl knew it was time. It was time for her to say good-bye to her home and begin a new adventure. The girl had help from her fairy godmother who gave her the power to travel to the country by way of dragon. It was a well known fact, albeit one of the only few known things about Oasis, that it was the birthplace of dragons. Dragons of all sizes and colors and wingspans. The girl's dragon was small for his age and wanted eagerly to get back home. He was an orphan and had grown up in the girl's land, belonging to no one though he had a special fondness for the girl. I believe it was the stories she read to him. He loved naps and stories. So the dragon, Rajah was his name, and the girl set off for Oasis.
What became of their adventure is a story for another time. I can say that it was fantastic and at some times unbelievable, but all true.
Until we meet again,
Brittney
