It was the time when dragons flew in the sky and some people used

spells when this story happened. Melissa Clarke, a princess of the land called
"Nowhere," was in danger of her life. Since her father, the king, was killed, the

war over the throne worsened. So, Melissa and Matthew Blake, who used to be
the best servant of her dad and the strongest sword-fighter in Nowhere, have

hidden in the woods. One day they found a baby dragon with an injured wing.
Melissa convinced Matthew to take her home and take care of her. He

reluctantly accepted her wish. Thanks to Melissa's dedicated care, the dragon
named "Farley" got better day by day. When she recovered from the injury

completely, she and Melissa became best friends.
On the night of Melissa's tenth birthday, she had a dream in which she

found her father in his room, but he couldn't see his dearest daughter. And
then suddenly, he saw something and got surprised and terrified. Melissa

tried to find out what he saw, but she could only see a sword covered with
blood. Since then, every night, she had the dream in which Farley warned her

to be careful with Matthew. Even if she asked the reason, Farley just said, "Pay
attention to Matthew."

A few weeks later, she was kidnapped by someone at night and found
herself tied up with a rope in a dark chamber. At first, she could see nothing,

but eventually, she recognized herself surrounded by four big guys. When she
shouted and asked for help, one of them talked to her, and she noticed he was

Matthew. He drew his sword and approached Melissa. He brought his sword to
her neck and said, "You can die with the sword that killed your daddy." She was

surprised and gazed at him, and he confessed, "Yes, I killed him, and I want the
throne, so I need to kill you too." The moment she thought she would be killed,

Farley came and burned the four men, including Matthew, and helped Melissa

untie the rope. And then, Melissa and Farley left Nowhere and found a perfect
land for them and lived happily ever after. [367 words]
