My narrative text : Chrysalis and The White Dragon

Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful young girl, Chrysalis. She lived by herself in a small cottage in the middle of a forest. Her parents were dead because of an accident when they went to the city. Chrysalis was a friendly girl. She loved to make friends with anybody. Because she was alone in the cottage, she loved to make friends with animals too.

One day, Chrysalis found a round-shaped crystal which had a silver color and it looked like a diamond. It was so beautiful and Chrysalis decided to pick it up and brought it home. She wanted to sell it to a vendor in the city.

Although Chrysalis planned to sell it, she loved to keep the crystal, because it was so beautiful. She remembered that her father loved to carve statues. She tried to remember where her father kept his knife. When she found it, she picked up the knife and planned to make a swan–shape from the crystal. Even though she tried with all of her strength, she even couldn’t leave a scratch on the crystal. She didn’t want to give up. But still she couldn’t make what she wanted from the crystal.

Chrysalis was so tired. She fell asleep in her room. Suddenly, a flash light came from the crystal. Chrysalis was shocked and found the crystal cracked. The crystal was cracked into a swan shape. And beside the swan-shape crystal, Chrysalis found a white baby dragon. The white baby dragon had a silver-blue color and a pair of wings in his back. Chrysalis was so afraid. She took her father’s knife and wanted to kill the dragon. But, when the dragon opened his eyes, he looked so cute and said,

“Mama… Mama…”

And the baby dragon tried to come closer to Chrysalis but he couldn’t reach Chrysalis’ position. He fell off again and again. Chrysalis felt pity to the white baby dragon, so she carried the white baby dragon in her arms.

“You are so cute and shiny like a diamond. Your name is Hikaru,” said Chrysalis.

Hikaru yawned and fell asleep in Chrysalis’ hug. Chrysalis was so happy to have a new friend in her quiet cottage. She decided to raise up Hikaru and she made the swan-shape crystal as a pendant of her necklace.

One day, Chrysalis was fishing in river. Hikaru was beside her, played with worm which Chrysalis used for her fishing bait. Suddenly, Chrysalis slipped and fell off. Her head was bleeding. Hikaru came closer to her and looked worried. And he was shocked when saw so much blood in Chrysalis’ head and he started to cry.

“I’m fine Hikaru, this is only a scratch wound. It’s fine.” Chrysalis tried to make Hikaru calmed down.

But Hikaru couldn’t stop crying. He flied and hugged Chrysalis’ head. Without any purpose, Hikaru’s tears ran down on his face and fell to Chrysalis’ wound. Surprisingly, Chrysalis’s wound was healed.

“Oh my god, my wound is healed! Thank you so much, Hikaru…” Chrysalis felt so happy and hugged Hikaru.

They were best friend. They always together wherever, whenever. They felt happy or sad together. Chrysalis loved Hikaru so much and so did Hikaru. Day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year, Hikaru grew up being an adult dragon. He had a huge body and strong wings. He could spray out fire from his breath. But he never sprayed out his fire to hurt Chrysalis. They protected each other. Unfortunately, because of his huge body, Hikaru couldn’t enter the cottage anymore. So he slept outside and Chrysalis sewed a huge tent and a blanket for Hikaru.

One day, there was thunderstorm. Chrysalis locked herself in the cottage. She was worried about Hikaru, but she was certain that Hikaru all right outside there. Suddenly, Chrysalis heard a crash sound. When she opened her window, she saw a horse carriage fell off to ravine. Quickly, Hikaru flied and catched the horse carriage with his huge hand.

How surprised Chrysalis when she found a man in the horse carriage with so many gold coins inside. Hikaru gave his tears to heal the man. But the man still unconscious. Chrysalis decided to search for some ingredients to make a delicious soup for the man if he woke up. So Hikaru stayed alone to accompany the man.

When the man woke up, Chrysalis still didn’t come back. And of course, the man was shocked when saw a huge dragon next to him. Quickly, he prepared his sword. Hikaru ignored him and back to sleep. The man was so afraid and he decided to slay Hikaru. But Chrysalis was back on time and prevented the man to slay Hikaru.

“Don’t kill him! He is my best friend and the only one!” shouted Chrysalis. The man stopped and stared at Chrysalis.

“Who are you? You are very beautiful… I never met you before.” asked the man.

“Well, my name is Chrysalis. I lived alone in this cottage, of course you never know me here.” answered Chrysalis.

“I am Jason, the prince of Frendesco Kingdom. This forest is included into our Kingdom’s territorial” said Prince Jason.

“Oh, I’m so sorry my majesty...”

“Oh please, just call me Jason… It’s alright”

“Well, Prince Jason, what did a prince do in the middle of forest with so many gold coins in his horse carriage?” asked Chrysalis.

Suddenly Prince Jason’s face turned sad,

“My father… The king of Frendesco Kingdom is sick… And all doctors in Frendesco kingdom can’t heal his illness.”

 “I’m sorry to hear that. Well, how about the gold coins? What is it for?”

“Only Giovand Kingdom’s doctor who can heal my father illness. But they asked for gold coins to pay for it” explained Prince Jason.

“That was so cruel! Oh, I have an idea! I think Hikaru can help you, Prince Jason!” cried Chrysalis happily.

“Hikaru? Who is that? A woman or a man?” asked Prince Jason confusedly.

“A dragon beside you, he is Hikaru…” Chrysalis smiled and stroked Hikaru’s head.

“I remember that you said he is your best friend? So what a dragon can do to help me?” Prince Jason looked very confused.

“Well, how to say this… Hikaru’s tear can heal any wound. So, maybe he can help you to heal the king and you won’t waste your gold coins.” explained Chrysalis to the Prince.

“That’s nice to hear! Come on, let’s go to my castle!” said Prince Jason. So they went to the castle together.

When they arrived in the castle, everyone looked surprised to see Hikaru. They ran and screamed, some knights prepared their arrows and bow. Every one panicked and was ready to slay Hikaru. But Prince Jason quickly shouted,

“Please listen to me, Frendesco people! This White Dragon is our friend! He will save my father!” Everyone were surprised when heard it.

“But how a dragon can save our king, Prince Jason?” asked a farmer.

“Well, my dragon’s tear can heal any wounds.” Chrysalis answered it. People was surprised when saw Chrysalis’ beauty. They’ve never saw a beautiful girl like Chrysalis.

Suddenly a Prime Minister came closer to Prince Jason,

“Prince Jason, please, your dad already in critical condition.” Hikaru dropped his tears and Chrysalis saved Hikaru’s tears in a bottle. Then, Prince Jason accompanied her to his father’s room.

When they arrived, Chrysalis quickly gave the bottle to the king and the king was healed. Everyone in Frendesco people was so happy. They celebrated a party for the king’s health. Chrysalis wanted to go back to her cottage, but Prince Jason told her to stay and propose her to be his wife. Chrysalis was extremely unbelievable with what she heard at that time. But she decided to stay in the castle with Prince Jason because she fell in love with Prince Jason.

As soon as Chrysalis was being a Frendesco Princess, everyone was respect at her. Hikaru helped all Frendesco people too. His tears healed everyone who was wounded. He had a special place to live. It was a cave made by glasses and diamonds. It had a bed and decorations made by sheep’s wools. It kept Hikaru slept well. Frendesco people loved Hikaru so much. They always visited him and gave him delicious food. Everything was going peacefully.

Many years passed, Chrysalis was so busy with her new activities being a Frendesco Princess. She often tired and didn’t have a single time to play with Hikaru anymore. Hikaru was so lonely, he cried every night in a big hole where it was a place for mine digging before. Hikaru became weak, and he was sick. But, Chrysalis still didn’t have time for him. She never visited Hikaru again in Hikaru’s place.

One day, Prince Jason’s father was sick again. Prince Jason panicked and he tried to search Hikaru with Chrysalis. Chrysalis found Hikaru under a big tree. Hikaru was so happy, he showed his spirit and tried to make Chrysalis want to play with him.

“Hikaru, this is not a right time to play. I need you… Please come with me to the castle” Chrysalis panicked about her father-in-law’s condition, so she didn’t watch a big different in Hikaru. Hikaru was so sad, but he didn’t want to make his best friend disappointed. So, they came back to the castle together.

But when Chrysalis told Hikaru to cry, Hikaru just remained silent and stayed in his place. Chrysalis begged him but Hikaru didn’t move even with a single movement. He just closed his eyes. The Prime Minister was so upset and couldn’t hold his patience again. He stabbed Hikaru with a dagger. Hikaru shocked and roar. Chrysalis came closer to Hikaru and tried to calm Hikaru down. But it was too late, Hikaru sprayed out fire from his mouth and Chrysalis’ left hand burned. Prince Jason was angry and told his army to catch Hikaru and put him down in the underground cage. Chrysalis tried to stop Prince Jason but she couldn’t do anything because the Kingdom’s doctor quickly brought her to a medical room.

Every single day, Hikaru spent his time to cry, but unfortunately, there was no tear drops anymore. Chrysalis couldn’t visit Hikaru because Prince Jason told her not to stay close with Hikaru anymore. Chrysalis missed Hikaru so much, so did Hikaru. Chrysalis felt guilty, she missed her days with Hikaru in the cottage. She wanted to go back to the past, when she had so much time to spare with Hikaru.

In one midnight, Chrysalis brave herself went to go the underground cage alone with a long cape which covered her face. Hikaru knew it was Chrysalis. He was so happy and tried to get out from the cage.

“Ssshh… be quiet Hikaru, I’m going to release you and go back with you to our cottage. But please, calm down. I don’t want to wake up the underground cage’s officer.” whispered Chrysalis. Hikaru calmed down and watched Chrysalis opened the gate of his cage.

Chrysalis was successful to open the cage. She climbed up Hikaru’s back and told him to fly away to their lovely and peacefully cottage. Hikaru was weak at that time. But he showed much spirit, because he wanted to live with Chrysalis again.

Unfortunately, when Hikaru flied, one of the Frendesco’s knights saw them and rang the alarm bell. So they were chased by a hundred of knights.

“Oh! My necklace!” Chrysalis dropped her swan-shape pendant. Prince Jason got the necklace in his hand and stared at Chrysalis. He looked hurt, but he was understood with Chrysalis’ condition and let her go.

Chrysalis was so happy. She hugged Hikaru in his neck. Hikaru was happy too but he was too weak for the journey to their cottage. He slowed down and fell to a big lake where it was a place for him to cry before.

Splash!

“What happened to you Hikaru? Please wake up! Oh my god, my wound was healed! What is this? Is it a magic water?” Chrysalis was confused but at last she knew it was Hikaru’s tears for many years.

“I’m so sorry Hikaru… My partner… I’m so cruel… I miss you so much.” Chrysalis hugged Hikaru. Hikaru didn’t open his eyes. When Chrysalis stroked his head, Hikaru opened his head and stared at Chrysalis.

“Mama… I miss you” he said.

“You… You can talk?!” Chrysalis was surprised. Hikaru smiled and closed his eyes again. The last tear drops came out from his eyes and his body turned cold.

“Bye bye, mama…” whispered Hikaru.

“No! No! Please Hikaru, at last we could live together… again… Hikaru, please… Don’t leave me alone! Hikaru! Hikaru!” cried Chrysalis. Hikaru was dead and his body drowned to his tear drops’ lake. Chrysalis was very shocked. She cried and cried. She missed her very best friend ever.

Suddenly, a small boat came closer to Chrysalis. It was Prince Jason alone. He helped Chrysalis to get on the boat and calmed her down. Chrysalis didn’t say anything, so did Prince Jason. They kept silent, and Prince Jason gave Chrysalis’ necklace back. Chrysalis held the necklace with her two hands. She stared at the necklace for several minutes and dropped it to the lake.

Strangely, the lake was shiny! Prince Jason and Chrysalis were surprised. Chrysalis remembered this light. It was the same as the moment when she found Hikaru’s egg cracking. The lake became a very beautiful lake because of the light. Chrysalis smiled and went back to the castle with Prince Jason. She never forgot about Hikaru. She prayed for Hikaru to rest in peace.

In the end, the lake was well-known as a magical lake that could heal any wounds. Chrysalis often visited the lake and told everyone it was her best friend’s tears. Everyone knew the story and respected Chrysalis and the lake. People called it The White Dragon Lake. Every time they passed or stopped in that lake, they remembered about a friendship between human and a dragon.

The End
