{Part 2}

The whole of the words from the Pirate Queen, or whatever She was, hit the girl like a storm collecting leaves and everything through the path and slamming them in her face. Truths, questions and the need of endless answers were now starting to pour onto her. 

It was now her turn to breath, stand, being hit and inhale all of that in the hope it would make sense, once inside her soul.

“Lady, I do not know what You are talking about, but I know I will get it.
I am stubborn, I did not harm anyone and, damn, I need to make sense of this and oh, one more thing, I am not fucking naive, I am no Dragon or other crazy things and I do not possibly get how You could know things about me, and speak to me like that mindfucking my soul.
Yes, I did have a Guiding Spirit through my life, and for you to know he is a Wolf, he protected me from a World that did not allow me to be me, and … no, no, NO.
By the way this the time for me to share more of myself, sorry. I am shocked enough and I do not know You deeply enough yet to reveal personal things that are sacred to me. Maybe this might happen one day? Ppftt, boh. Heavens will decide.
This said, I never saw anyone capable like You, Miss, so, I bow respectfully to this and to You and once again I openly tell You I would appreciate Your help for me to understand what is it of my life right now.”

She took a deep breath and bowed with her head, splendid in her pride and sprinkling battling youth, holding no weapon if not her thin slender body covered by a butterfly light glowing gown.

“Oh girl, oh Baby Dragon. Now I do see even better the Baby Dragon you are.” (These words made the girl even more silently furious) I see how dangerous you can be. So dangerous is your sweetness that you do not even come close to realise it, you know? And that makes it even more dangerous: a magnet, an armour, a weapon too maybe.

You say You are no Dragon, honestly, you know what? I laugh at your statement.
I am bold, I am pleased, I am merciless and I laugh at that, and it is a good thing, and no disrespect in my laugh, but admiration.
Oh, Baby Dragon Girl, You do have sight, we both possess it, and both displayed it.
You do see the ghosts nobody sees, in the same manner I tell You I do see Dragons, like nobody does. I can add that You hold one of them right inside, right now, and it screams. It needs … something”

Then she stretched forward, the voice turned into deep seriousness with no trace of playfulness whatsoever.

“Now listen: I want to make a deal with You.
If You will hang here, I will protect You, I will even teach you about Dragons, and address You to someone truly special who can do that. She’ll do that for me, and she did it for none before.
You will be free to move in this realm, and it is something I do not grant easily. 
That’s something has been granted only three times in history, something hurt me with disappointment and something that created these sweet ghosts, among many more things …
You do see ghosts, and things. I do see Dragons (and more).
You will learn about me, I am no secretive about it, bold I am. Some things might shock You, some others might sound like a music You already know but You forgot.

Tell me, do You see a trap in all this?
Do you see a trap in my offer?”

As she finished speaking these words their orbs meet. Emerald green met the vampiric blue-grey. That was enough for them to link. Their breath adjusted. The girl started breathing deeper, slower, and the Queen shortened her breath, adjusting to the freshness of the girl’s own breath. Then the girl spoke.

“Knowledge. I promised to seek that, to myself, and to Wolf, and I learnt it is the only way for me to live as I should and what I was created for. I will follow that. I will seek knowledge and I will do that because I want to do it, ok?

Lady, yes, I do sense danger in this. I do sense I could probably get hurt in ways going beyond what I can stand. But still, in name of knowledge, I do sense I have to do it.

At her words the two spirits at the sides of the Queen got uneasy, they kept muttering incomprehensible things and doing that till the girl stopped speaking. At that point the Lady raised one hand, and they got muted. Then instead of answering to the girl’s words, or maybe to let time pass before doing it she explained

“I was not precise, at the beginning, but now I can tell you the first bit of truth about the spirits you see around me.
These are not truly truly truly ghosts in the literal sense.

These are two of the Angels that have been sent to me, by the heavens and the fate. They are part of my history. You might encounter more entities like them in the next future. I do not regret my history and I walk the sands of time with all the luggage of my entire life always with me. I am like that.

Remember, there is a difference between and angel and “Saints”, and they are no Saints, oh no.
In every angel there is the demoniac, to tempt.
In every demon there is the angelic, to rescue.
Once we recognise it, we are safe, we are sane. It can be handled.
The ones you see, my heaven’s sent angels, they sold their soul and by doing that they have lost their wings.

Now they bleed. Some do bleed more, some, less. They bleed and they want to bleed and to offer me their blood. They keep doing it, they can’t stop doing it but their blood is no good to me, they will tempt me for ever. They think their blood is good to me, so they will always tempt me, it is not their fault. Blood from cut wings is no good blood for me.

As for me, I do give them shelter. Will there be redemption for them? A way out from this? Yes, there is, but I cannot tell them what it is.
But now: time to relax, and for us to celebrate this deal.
It could lead to good things, or the mutual destruction.

A teller once told me I would have met a Dragon and She could be the only one capable of really hurting me, and I could be the only one, capable of terminating her. She did not tell me the end of the story though.

Let’s celebrate, BabyDragon. Fortune tellers are naughty witches.

I wish you to dance, dance for me, something tells me you love to dance.”
