Cookie walked down to the first floor and took a right and went down some stairs.'Emilia's room.'Cookie knocked.

"Come in."a weak sounding voice said.Cookie created a flame once she saw that the room was pitch black.

Emilia had semi-long pale colored hair and...red...eyes?Wait-Her skin was pale and she looked skin and bones!The rumors were half true!Well,unless she did have headaches..Then the rumors would be correct.

"Hello,Emilia,is it?"She asked.

"Yes.."Emilia croaked out.

"I'm Cookie.Your father sent me to help heal you."Cookie moved the flame so Emilia could see her face.

"Oh my Stars!You're an albino!"Cookie gasped,smiling.

"What's that?"

"An albino is someone with white hair and red eyes!"

A hour later,Cookie and Emilia were walking inside the garden.

"Look at these flowers!"Cookie said,looking at the flowers.Ice Roses,Snowdrops,Winter Jasmine,Pansys,and those were the ones Cookie could identify!

Emilia giggled,seeing Cookie's child-like expression."Is this the first Ice Garden you've been in?"

"Yes..?"Cookie said,laughing nervously."I've read books about the gardens though!"

Emilia gently crouched to touch an Ice Rose."My favorite flower has to be the Ice Rose..What's yours?"

"Oh,my favorite flower is the Camellia.."

Emilia smiled before grabbing her head.The horrible pain was back!

"Emilia!"The voice sounded far away,as though the person was yelling from the manor..

Emilia had woken up.Cookie knew because she gasped.

"Where am I?!"

"You're in your room."

"I..didn't-"

Lota then walked in with a tray."Miss Emilia,I've brought dinner."

"Dinner?!I thought it was lunch time!"Emilia said.

"You were out for some time.."

Emilia began eating as soon as the tray was placed in her lap.She soon finished.

"Um,Lota?"

"Yes?"

"Can you ask Lord Olix if I could see how Emilia does in DragonClaw?"

"Why,if you don't mind me asking..?"

"I want to see how she reacts to a change of scenery.."

"Of course.."With that,Lota left.

"Why is DragonClaw..called DragonClaw?"

"Oh!The story behind my village is honestly one of my favorite story..."Cookie cleared her throat.

"Once,many years before,in the time of The Star Children's first warriors,a young man had wandered far from his homeland.He traveled for days..until he realized his magic was fading..Without his magic,he would die..

"The man,being a Fire Mage,would be forced to eat raw food..He wandered until he met a strange dragon...The dragon was surprised to see a mortal man standing before him in nothing but a tunic!The dragon told the man,'If you can survive three days,I shall grant you a gift..'

"The man was curious,'What kind of gift?'He asked.The dragon said nothing in response.The next three days were torturous to the man.His magic had vanished on the second day and he had nearly died multiple times...On the final day,at sunset,the dragon flew to him and said'I shall gift you a home to rule over.But in return,you shall be cursed."

"What happened after that?"Emilia asked.

"It's said Lady Galexia and Lord Demios fought the man to protect the innocent.." 

"What was the curse?"

"It was never said.."

"That's a wonderful,"Emilia yawned,"story..I can see why it's one of your favorites.."

"Goodnight,Emilia.."Cookie said,leaving the girl to rest.

Cookie touched her pin after closing the door.The golden dragon with opaline eyes..That was the dragon in the story..She was sure of it..But the curse?No clue..What was it?Should she search the library once she returned home?Yeah,she should..
