The Forest was entirely covered of snow, the Pond was freezing and not a single bird could be heard. It was still snowing, the wind was howling between the branches of the trees. Candles everywhere. The sun was still high in the sky and we could see prints in the cold snow. All the creatures of the Forest were happy. At least, that what we could think.
Niriya was affected by this happiness too. It was her first Christmas with Nikolai, her big brother. It was very important to her as she wanted to make it one of the best days for him. She felt so ashamed after she attempted to kill him to save her own life, but she was glad she did not. Of course, they were chased by three countries now but it did not matter as long as he and she were together. Although she never felt so alive during her life, this was just spicing it up.

She was at the Pond, running all over it while creating temporary platforms of ice to not fall into the water. She rolled and jumped everywhere, completely crazy. She was laughing. Laughing. Like a little child. Because the Little Niriya was a child. Not like the Adult Niriya. She ended up into the snow. In the arms of the Great Snow Mother. She kept smiling no matter if the others were looking at her, she would not even notice it. She was happy. She was excited. She could not help it. Who could blame her for being as such? Nobody could. Because they were all like this as well.

The little goat was still laughing with her face in the snow, accidentally swallowing some on the way. She got up and tried to get rid of the flakes inside her mouth. Her eyes suddenly fixed upon a familiar creature nearby. A dragon. A big red dragon. Was it not Dazenth? She knew his name by the other Niriya who flirted with him twice already, yet she forgot to tell her name. She did not like how he was looking at her. Although, whatever the way he would look at her, she would never like it. She had learnt that male adults were not always like they seemed, at least it was the Little Niriya's point of view.

The Adult Niriya took slightly the control, guiding the Child Niriya. She was weak enough to be manipulated. She made little hops while going towards the winged reptile and stopped, smiling.
"Здравствуйте, Dazenth!" She greeted politely with a bow in her childish voice.
Of course it was the adult talking but the child was still in control of the body, following the other's orders.
"Простите меня, I did not introduce myself the other day, she added. My name is Niriya Mikhailovna Kratovskaya. You are Dazenth, Да?"

Niriya looked at the dragon with her big rounded eye. Her left eye was closed due to the light, and she never really liked showing it to others. She realized that she still had her half-skull mask covering the upper part of her face. Her tan hair was flowing on it like a waterfall of soft sunbeams. The little goat was still afraid of him but the Adult Niriya told her to not be worried. Yet she was right. That is not because he was a male adult that he did not deserve a chance. She just had to be careful.

The child hopped around the dragon and stopped when she spotted some winter flowers right next to them. Winter roses. She cut one and put in her hair, near the right ear. Then she looked at Dazenth, a bit perplexed. Next, she noticed some other flowers, fairy primoses and decided to cut one as well to put it on the reptile's hair, near the left horn. "For you, the Little Niriya said. Careful. Not eat, not touch. Poison."

The child smiled to the dragon.
"Да, я новый." She replied.
She laughed soflty and hopped around Dazenth joyfully. In her head, the other Niriya was joining her in unison, chanting "Яд! Яд! (Poison! Poison!)" together. The Little Niriya had no idea why she was chanting this, she was just following the Adult Niriya. They then hopped towards the Ruins as they expected the red reptile to follow.

The little goat rolled over the flowers, having some stuck on her body in the process. She took some and threw them in the air and on Dazenth. She laughed happily.

Little Niriya smiled and laughed as she saw the red dragon sneezing because of the flowers on his muzzle. She jumped in front of Dazenth and touched him with the tip of her hoof before hopping and running away. She stopped between two trees towards the bridge and turned around to bow to him like a dog which wanted to play, waiting for Dazenth to try to catch her, her cute little tail wagging. The winged reptile did not seem to be mean at all, but the unsually-mature part of her still wanted to see more.

The only thing which was sad for her was that she could not play like in the Human World, with board games, video games, going to an amusement park, watching TV... She really missed these activites when she was in the Forest. Maybe nobody here even knows about them. Yet Niriya could still find a way to have fun without those.

Niriya began to run faster as a trail of snow rised behind her and fell on the dragon. She could not stop laughing, it was so fun yet stressful to have someone chasing you behind, even for a game. But it was fun. The child jumped on the Pond using her platforms made of ice and kept running to the other side. She eventually started to get slower while the fatigue was gaining her. As she was near the Old Oak, she looked back to see where was the dragon but she stumbled and fell down to find herself on the back and in the other direction.

Little Niriya kept laughing even in spite of the pain on her back as it seemed that she had landed on something tough. The pain made her laugh hysterical while some tears came to roll down to the ground.

As the pain faded away, she calmed herself down at last. Yet a bit of the pain remained, she nodded to the dragon with a smile as an answer to his question. She swung her legs like a little baby and with a bigger smile. With some difficulties, she eventually managed to stand back up, shook herself and stared at the dragon with the same smile and her tail wagging. But where the pain was remaining, was a huge bruise covering almost her whole back. Of course, she did not notice it herself since it was on her back and there was no mirror which would allow her to see it in her reflection, she simply thought it just caused pain and that was all. It seemed that she had landed on a big rock.

The goat child hopped around Dazenth and grabbed his tail between her front legs to rub her head against it. "Дракон! Хвост дракона!" She joyfully exclaimed. Then, she climbed on it to the reptile's back and hugged his neck kindly.

The nuzzle made the Little Niriya chuckle. Yet as soon as she realized what he said, she tried to look over her back and could finally notice the bruise. She touched it with her front hoof and gritted her teeth under the pain. She instinctively held onto Dazenth's neck. Once the pain was fading away, the little tan goat looked at the red dragon and gave him a kiss on his muzzle.
"Buddy!" She said with another smile.

The child thought that she could try to do something about it once she would be back home. The pain was bearable but it was disturbing. Albeit she already felt worse pains than that during her life as a spy and warrior. Perhaps her brother would be able to help as well?

[Bump]

Niriya just shrugged. Yet it gave her an idea. She did not need to get something cold. She just had to use her cryokinetic abilities to cool her back down. With some small efforts, she did it and her back turned a little blueish, since the temperature of her body was already low due to the cold and the snow and therefore was already in its pure white color. The goat child sighed of relief as she began to feel even better but she used so much energy today that she let herself fall on the grass next to Dazenth and rolled herself into a ball.

Little Niriya turned her head, giving a sleepy look and a smile to the red dragon, she pressed her body against his front paw and turned back her head to her front legs, back into a ball, before closing her eyes.

Perhaps Dazenth was really a good person. The warmth of his body warmed her up and her fur turned a bit tan. She pressed her head against his tail as well, feeling safe with him in the grass covered of snow. It did not take long for her to fall asleep. She wanted to stay for a very long time but she knew she would start missing her brother, who would surely get worried after a while. Staying just for a little nap would not hurt. And so, she let the sleep invade her and take her to the realm of dream, with a red dragon who she was beginning to trust.
