''Oh Thank you so much'' Elsbeth said, when she turned once again, she faced the statue and felt alone. ''Oh no.. Dragon please...'' she said and laid her hands on the statue. ''Please Please... Open your gate for me...'' she whispered. ''Please.. Please...'' she whispered and sighed. She had felt free an happy for a moment. ''Oh Dragon...'' she whispered and laid her hand on the flank, suddenly seeing the gem. ''What is that?'' she asked and walked to the tail of the statue. She was to short to reach for it, but she looked at it and it felt like something was waking up from inside her. She blinked. 

Oh no! It was sunrise... Her father would be worried... She looked at the sky and suddenly saw that is was dawn. Had she spend so much time with the Dragon? It felt like not more than a few minutes. She turned around and bumped into Mike and fell on the ground. ''Ouch!'' she said and looked up. ''Mike!'' she said and smiled. ''Oh my.. Your a early bird.. And.. You are probably wondering what I am doing here this early... Well... Ehm..'' she said and frowned. What would she say? If she said she had visited a dragon inside the statue... Wait, was that possible? Well, Even if it was, then he would probably laugh at her and think that she was crazy. Oh no! She didn't want that.. He could run from her.. That could not happen, not now.. not... never! It could never happen.. But secrets are bad.. She looked up at him and sighed. Crazy or not... She had to tell him... that she talks all night with a dragon statue... That teleports her to some hidden throne room.. ''I was talking with the Statue... Everyone does it... I just, lost a track of time and... Well... Maybe I talked all night...'' she said and the last words where whispered.
