Stardust looked confused. She tried to say that she doesn’t know what’s happening only to find that the words would not come out. She looked out of the window. Outside was a desert like planet, the exact same one she first woke up on. She looked up at the clear night sky. She wondered where she was and if she could find the red dragon from her dream, or was it a memory? Stardust believed that he may have some answers.
“Looks like Stardust’s scales are changing again”
“That’s a neat ability, if she can master it she might be really good at hiding from predators or other things that may want to kill her”
Stardust looked at her talons again. Her scales had changed to match the night sky, even the nearby moon was depicted on her scales.
“I wonder what she’ll look like when we’re finally able to lift off.”
“Probably something similar, we won’t find out until the ship starts working again.”
Stardust had an idea. She jumped off the chair and ran out of the room looking for somewhere she can give power to the ship.
“Where are you going?” The blue giant asked.
After 30 seconds, Stardust found a panel where she could discharge electricity and give the power to the starship. She jumped up onto the panel and her talons began to discharge electric bolts into the panel.
The blue giant had followed her into the room.
“What are you doing?”
The other giant called them from the other room, “hey whatever you guys are doing, it’s working. The ship has power again.”
“Wait, it’s working now?”
The lights of the ship had turned on and so have all of the screens.
“She actually fixed the problem…”
“Who?”
“Stardust.”
“The dragon did this?”
“Yeah. Nice work little dragon.”
The blue giant proceeded to pat Stardust’s head. Stardust was happy she fixed the issue with the star ship. The blue giant picked up Stardust and carried her back to the cockpit of the starship. He set her down in one of the seats and secured her to it. Stardust struggled against the restraints despite them being fit for a much taller life form.
“Hey relax, you’ll be fine, I just don’t want you to get hurt ok? I want to show you something amazing.”
The two giants took their seats. The blue giant was the pilot. The other one sat across from Stardust. The starship’s engines flared to life and it floated up off the ground. It sped up with its trajectory aimed at the upper atmosphere and beyond. Suddenly the night sky had swallowed the ship.
