“You look like my shadow!” Dragon Little told her father.
“Huh?” He turned around.
This was at a time when Dragon Little was only five years old. Dragon Father allowed her to pilot Bonnie’s Revenge, their pirate ship, to fly in the sky and try different tricks.

“Look at me! Look at me!” Dragon Father sounded panicky. “Did you get hit in the head? Joy, talk to me! Yes or no?”
Dragon Little shook her head.
“Get up. Let me see you walk.”

“What’s the use of putting me in prison?” Captain Badass ranted. “I’ll escape. You know I will.”
It was true. Of all the villains, it was only Captain Badass who was able to escape captivity. The prison did not keep him. He would always return.
“Yeah, yeah,” Dragon Father said. “Walk faster.”

My little Dragon Little fired her laser pistol at Santa Claus.
Santa Claus jumped aside and fell awkwardly on his side.

Santa Claus shook his head. “You’re behaving like a bad girl, Joy. Put down the pistol.”
“Call me a bad girl again!”
“I am not calling you that. That is how you’re behaving.”

“On, Blitzen, on Glitzen, on… whatever the hell your names are!” And with that, the sled was at the horizon, faster than even the speed of a dragon like myself.
“Look at them go,” Santa followed the sled with his eyes.

It was winter time in the Dream. Which means that it had been winter since Dragon Father appeared half an hour ago on the deck of Bonny’s Revenge, and suddenly gusts of wind and snow filled the air.
The ocean froze immediately, and Bonnie’s Revenge, their pirate ship, became stuck in the snow, unable to sail the oceans or rise into the air. Immediately after the ocean froze, mountains of snow appeared on top of the ice, coming up almost as high as the deck. The deck itself began to fill with snow.

“Why is this place called the Land of Echoes?” Dragon Little asked as the two were walking between two huge rocks. Dragon Little at the time was three years old.
“Listen to this,” Dragon Father help up his finger, then yelled. “Echo!”
The echo echoed back: “Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!”
Dragon Little eyes popped open in excitement. “Echo!” She shouted.

Dragon Little did a little dance as part of their game, and Mary clapped for her.
Dragon Little ran to her and fell into her bosom. “Aw, my sweet pirate Joy,” Mary said warmly. “You are truly a Joy.” She caressed her head and let Dragon Little come out to look at her. “Say… Do you know what Joy means?”
Dragon Little shook her head.
“Joy means happiness. But a lot of happiness. A lot. Your father gave you your name because you make him happy, really happy. And I think also because you’re happy, lass. Aren’t you happy?”
“Yes!”
Dragon Little danced a bit more. Then she said, “What’s the meaning of ‘Dad’?”

Dragon Father and Dragon Little were pinned down behind a huge rock on the planet of the Laser Pirates of Chinchilla. The pirates were firing lasers from atop the castle they had overtaken, and Dragon Little and Dragon had nothing to do but cower down behind the rock. They had nowhere to go.
“Dad,” my sweet Dragon Little said. “You can’t be hurt by lasers! Get up and storm them!”

Dragon Father popped his head into the infinite corridor that was called the Infinite Prison and yelled, “Joy! We’re being attacked by witches! They’re your favorite! Coming to help?”

Dragon Little was super excited: “Dad, you can do anything! You can get shot! You can get cut! The villains can’t do anything to you! We can defeat all of them without a problem!”
“No, no, no no no no!” Dragon Father was clearly regretting what he had just said.

When Dragon Father entered Dragon Little, who was only five and a half years old at the time, she was lying curled on the bed, facing the wall, her back to him. And she was crying uncontrollably.

There was a pool of blood underneath him and my sharp dragon’s eyes clearly saw that she had taken out his eye.
He slowly removed his hand from his face. Dragon Little looked at it, her face full of worry.

“Don’t play with the sword!”
“In a minute!”
Dragon Little, five and a half years old, was never good listening to her father when he told her what not to do.
It was one of the first times she was able to lift her father’s sword. All she wanted to do now was swing it around on the deck.

Dragon Little and Dragon Father were of course in the middle of an adventure, and they had the King Dad on the run.
They entered a huge room that had royal cots for a hundred different babies, when Dragon Father stopped the chase.
“Dad, Dad—” Dragon Little ran past him.
She reached the exit to the room, when she saw he was not continuing the chase. “What’s wrong?”

My Dragon Little was four and a few months old, when her father helped tuck her in. It was the first time in a month or so that he had been able to do so. Over the last month, he had been appearing much later in the day and disappearing in the middle of an adventure almost every day.
But this time the adventure had ended, the villain had been led to the Infinite Prison in the belly of Bonny’s Revenge, and Dragon Father had time to help Dragon Little go to bed.
“Dad, tell me about the time I peed on the Fairy Forest King.”
He appeared in the middle of the deck on Bonny’s Revenge, as always in exactly the same spot. She had been ready and waiting for him for almost two hours.
The second he appeared, she started jumping up and down: “You gotta watch this, Dad! You gotta watch this!”
This was done so fast following his appearance, that he shook his head, trying to concentrate on what is happening. As a result, the night sky, the cities in the clouds, and even the winds appeared, then disappeared, then appeared again. It ist the world he creates every time he appears, no doubt without his knowledge.

Dragon Little had been climbing the mast by herself since she was two and a half years old. She would love to climb all the way up and sit in the wooden crow’s nest.
During the long hours of Dragon Father’s absence, when he was awake (although she did not know that), she spent quite a few hours sitting in the crow’s nest.
Sometimes she would fall asleep there, and Dragon Father would reappear and look for her. Only his shouting her name strongly would wake her up.

Dragon Father picked up 2-year-old Dragon Little. Her legs and feet were so small, then. She was such a tiny human. And she was no doubt light. When she had ridden me, on my dragon body that ist as big as her pirate ship, I did not even feel her. Not the way I would in later years.
