The Rejected Mate

Violet still couldn't take it all in at once. She looked Edna up and down once more for any specks of deceit Edna might reveal. But the girl was serious with her words.

"Violet. This can't be happening right? I hope I just misheard," said Edna trying to get a response from Violet. But Violet's surprise was much greater that left her speechless.

"Edna… Are you serious?"

"I just heard from what Otis said. I haven't confirmed it yet. I was too shocked to ask. Also the dragon elders just now were there making me even more scared."

"Humans will never become the mate of a dragon, Edna," Violet replied, making Edna's heart feel stabbed. The girl nodded understandingly. She also knew that was impossible.

"But… the first dragon had a human's mate. That was thousands of years ago," Violet said.

Edna was also at a loss. She didn't know what to do. She had heard that story too. Otis had told her. Should she talk to Otis first? Just to confirm.
