Isaac and Aaron woke up from their nap at around four in the afternoon. Mark heard them first before seeing them since they shouted that they wanted to ride the dragon. The twins ran towards Mark and hugged him.

“Mark we’re hungry. I want to eat a pizza!” Isaac shouted.

“I want to eat a hamburger,” Aaron shouted.

“Quiet down kids. Sheesh, you just woke up and you're yelling already.”

The twins just giggled when they heard Mark’s scolding. Mark replicated a pizza and a hamburger for the twins and some cold soda in a can. He ate some pizza and drank some soda as well.

“Unfortunately for you, the void dragon roller-coaster is already closed. It will only be open until three in the afternoon and since it’s already four the dragon is already resting.”

“Does Yoda need to rest? I didn’t see him eat anything as well, doesn’t he need to eat?” Isaac asked.

“The dragon’s name is not Yoda and no, the dragon doesn’t need to rest and eat. It’s just the excuse that Hamil gave the customers when he closed the ride.”

“Where’s Milena and Nedertu?” Aaron asked.

“They visited their friends, I think. By the way, Hamil told me that you can’t run around when in a village. There’s a designated place where circus kids can go play but if any kid wants to roam the village, they need to be accompanied by an adult and since everyone was busy today, that’s not possible so let's go ahead and ride the dragon ourselves!”

The twins cheered then Isaac asked if Hamil would be angry if they took the dragon.

“The dragon is mine, of course, Hamil would not be angry and since the villagers and the adventurers had already gotten used to the dragon, they would not be afraid if they saw it flying around.”

“Can we bring our friends with us?” Isaac and Aaron both asked.

“Sure, go ahead and call them. I’ll meet you in the dragon’s resting place.”

The twins ran outside the RV and Mark heard them shouting that they would ride Yoda which made him sigh. Yoda was not really a fitting name for a huge silver and gray void dragon. Mark followed the twins outside, and he went to where the dragon was lying down.

Even though the dragon was lying in its designated resting place with its eyes closed, a lot of villagers and adventurers were still watching the dragon.

Mark felt proud since his void dragon did look majestic and powerful even just lying there. A couple of adventurers approached him.

“Are you part of the circus? I can’t believe that this circus managed to tame a dragon! Nobody would be able to threaten the circus anymore especially if there’s nothing to be gained that will equal the loss they would suffer if they attacked something that’s being guarded by a mighty creature like that,” The woman adventurer said while pointing at the dragon.

“Why did you ask if I’m part of the circus?” Mark asked the two adventurers curiously.

“I don’t know. It’s just that circus people had this uuhmm sort of aura of being happy and free and you carry that aura as well.” The man said.

The comment made Mark extraordinarily happy. He did read somewhere that happy people exude some sort of aura that lights up a room and he was glad that he was beginning to have that. Then again, he was truly happy being part of the circus. Maybe because not only was he very rich due to his power, adventure was just around the corner anytime he wanted to experience it, either through his dungeon or the next city or village that the circus would go to.

Suddenly a horde of children came from the circus running towards the dragon. At first, the villagers and adventurers who were quietly watching were alarmed thinking that the dragon would somehow become irritated and retaliate but then someone put the mobile stair on the dragon's side and the kids ran up.

The dragon just opened its eyes and looked at the children blinking and doing nothing. Mark joined the army of children and sat at the very front together with the twins. A few adults were with the kids making sure that everyone was securely strapped in.

When everyone was ready, Mark commanded the dragon to fly, and the void dragon soared into the sky flying slowly but climbing upwards until the village looked like a tiny mark on the ground. The dragon didn’t stop climbing until Mark reckoned the temperature was the lowest that the children could take safely, then he commanded the dragon to hover just above, and it did.

The world was beautiful. The afternoon sun was bright enough that everyone could see for miles, but it was soft enough that everything looked like a scene from a dream.

The dragon stayed above for several minutes and then Mark commanded it to go down. He then thought that moments like these brought forth the fact that Mark was living in a fantasy world and was lucky enough that he was powerful enough to be able to enjoy a dream-like life together with his new friends.

When they arrived at the dragon landing site there were still a lot of villagers and adventurers who were watching.

The two adventurers who were talking to him earlier went to Mark and asked if the dragon could fight.

The twins then boasted that the dragon was powerful and was able to fight very powerful warriors and mages. Isaac kept boasting that if Mark hadn’t commanded the dragon not to hurt the circus’s warriors, the dragon would have won the “pretend” fight.

“Mark is your name, right? So, this is your dragon?” The female adventurer asked.

Before Mark could stop the twins, they kept on boasting.

“Yes, Yoda is Mark’s dragon, and since Mark’s our brother, Yoda is our dragon as well. Mark said that it’s a permanent summon and that meant that Yoda would stay with us forever and even if he were destroyed, Mark could summon him again without any problem.” Isaac boasted to the female adventurer.

The boast made the two adventurers whom Mark thought was a couple at first but based on their behavior, they looked just like work friends, gasped when they heard Isaac’s statement.

“So, you’re a very powerful wizard,” The male adventurer said.

The twins would have kept boasting and would probably reveal more information, but Mark stopped them. He should have talked to the twins about what they could and couldn’t share with others, but that fact never entered his mind. Now it was brought to his attention that it's needed.

“I recommend that if you have the coins, watch the theater that the circus set up because what you will see in there will blow your mind,” Mark suggested to the adventurers.

“We’ve seen plays before,” The female adventurer said.

“The movies are not a play! They’re windows to the other world and you will see them live their adventures. Nedertu told us that one of the movies that will be shown is Star Wars and, in that movie, you will see Luke Skywalker travel to different planets using a spaceship!” Isaac said.

The boy's comment intrigued the adventurers, so they said their goodbye and headed towards where the theater was set up and since a lot of people were listening to them, they joined the two adventurers.
