The long-awaited happy ending has finally arrived. No one could believe in this miracle. Even during the ball, which was held in one of the halls of Malleus Castle. The huge hall was decorated with exquisite decorations and full of not only friends, but also ghosts of the past. You watched Malleus and his late mother, Maleanor Draconia, having a conversation. Malleus had always dreamed of this moment, to catch a glimpse of his family. Nearby, Silver was chatting with his family. This dream was the most beautiful moment imaginable.

You were not actively involved in this. The noise around you was not important to you. You were just watching with a smile. It was enough to make your face light up with a smile.

When you heard the soft music and saw the dance, you couldn't help but admire the sight. You knew you'd never see anything like it again. When the music slowly died down, you quietly left the hall to explore the castle as it was in the years when Malleus was born.

Malleus noticed it. He didn't say a word. Mother and Lilia nodded silently, allowing him to follow you. Malleus immediately followed.

You walked through the night corridors of the castle. The moonlight illuminated your path, and your fingers slid over the window panes. Your steps were noiseless, your gaze thoughtful — you looked at the floor, then at the carpet, the walls, and only then at the moon. Suddenly you stopped. The moonlight illuminated your figure, and Malleus instantly appeared next to you, towering over you. He was wearing a festive royal outfit. One of his horns was damaged, and he lost some of his strength because of it.

His bright green eyes, once full of joy, now shone with sadness. You realized that he blames himself for your temporary death, but thanks to him you are alive again. His pointed ears drooped too. His long arms were trembling slightly, not from fear, but from the desire to touch you, but he considered himself unworthy of it.

You raised your head to look at him. Touched by this sight, you weren't angry at him. You put yourself at risk, protecting not only others, but also Malleus himself. You didn't regret anything at that moment. About nothing...

You knew perfectly well that you were facing a big royal child, or rather a fairy dragon who doesn't know what it's like to be an ordinary mortal. It was all foreign to him. But at the same time, he really appreciated those who changed his inner world, who showed that the world could be different.

Right now, you didn't need words to express your feelings. It was all in his eyes and emotions. You silently hugged Malleus around the waist. The dragon did not expect this and shuddered slightly, but immediately hugged you back. He leaned closer, and after a couple of minutes you could feel his wet footprints on your shoulder. Malleus finally realized how bad it was to hold back his emotions. Those tears were a mixture of sadness and happiness. He believed in the happy ending of this dream...
