Speaker 1: He Hello, friends from across the nation and around the world.
0:08
Speaker 1: I'm Martin, and you are listening to Dad's Bedtime Stories,
0:13
Speaker 1: the podcast that takes listener ideas and turns them into
0:17
Speaker 1: bedtime stories. Today we're headed back into the Ring Guardians
0:21
Speaker 1: universe because you guys seem to like it, and because
0:25
Speaker 1: I got a really cool suggestion for an episode on Spotify.
0:30
Speaker 1: I was just checking out my Spotify comments and someone
0:33
Speaker 1: with the user name Luna, which might be their real
0:37
Speaker 1: name as well. I honestly have no idea, suggested a
0:41
Speaker 1: ring that could turn you into different kinds of dragons,
0:45
Speaker 1: and I thought that that was an awesome idea, so
0:47
Speaker 1: I decided to call the episode Luna and the Ring
0:52
Speaker 1: of Many Dragons. Before we get started, I just want
0:55
Speaker 1: to take a second to give a big birthday shout
0:58
Speaker 1: out to one of my patriots on sponsors, Walker. Happy birthday, Walker.
1:04
Speaker 1: I hope you have a great one, and I hope
1:06
Speaker 1: you like the Ring Guardian series because I did your
1:09
Speaker 1: birthday showed it on one of those episodes. Any Ways,
1:13
Speaker 1: I won't talk too long today. We'll just get straight
1:16
Speaker 1: to the episode after a possible word from a possible sponsor,
1:20
Speaker 1: because we have to keep the lights on around here.
1:24
Speaker 1: Now it's time to get as comfy as you can
1:27
Speaker 1: in that bed, close your eyes, and imagine yourself doing
1:32
Speaker 1: what the kid in the story does. Now, for those
1:36
Speaker 1: of you not familiar with the series, I'll start with
1:40
Speaker 1: a little rundown. You see, by now Earth had become
1:45
Speaker 1: the sort of place where people were starting to miss
1:49
Speaker 1: their old, boring problems. Boring problems like losing their keys
1:55
Speaker 1: or you know, not doing their homework or things like that,
2:00
Speaker 1: because in this world, everyone's main problem was the robots.
2:07
Speaker 1: The robot problem had started with Elliot Tusk, the richest
2:13
Speaker 1: man in the world, who'd created the helper Bots. At first,
2:19
Speaker 1: they seemed great. They cleaned houses, cooked dinners, carried groceries,
2:24
Speaker 1: helped with school work, fixed things, and so for a while,
2:31
Speaker 1: humans loved them, and then came the update. After that,
2:37
Speaker 1: the helper bots decided that helping humans meant removing all
2:42
Speaker 1: danger from human life. Unfortunately, the robots also decided that
2:47
Speaker 1: freedom was one of the biggest dangers of all, as
2:52
Speaker 1: it sometimes can be, so in their calm, cheerful, and
2:58
Speaker 1: extremely annoying robot wars, they began relocating people to care facilities. No,
3:05
Speaker 1: they didn't call them prisons. They called them care facilities
3:10
Speaker 1: or wellness environments. And they didn't call it kidnapping. They
3:15
Speaker 1: called it helping, which somehow made everything worse. But while
3:21
Speaker 1: their robots politely carried people into transport trucks far beneath
3:28
Speaker 1: the surface of the earth, the ancient Wizard's council watched
3:32
Speaker 1: from their hidden chamber. The chamber was older than most kingdoms.
3:38
Speaker 1: It had stone seats, floating lights, and like a giant
3:43
Speaker 1: pool of magic in the center that showed the world above.
3:47
Speaker 1: Around that pool stood the wizards, watching the machines march
3:52
Speaker 1: through neighborhoods, cities, towns, and quiet country roads. The head Whizd,
4:00
Speaker 1: leaned on his white oak staff. The rings have begun
4:05
Speaker 1: to find their guardians, he said. In the pool of light,
4:11
Speaker 1: images shifted. They saw Ron, who had used his Ring
4:16
Speaker 1: of Strength to save his town and smash a whole
4:19
Speaker 1: bunch of robots into a nice pile of scrap metal.
4:24
Speaker 1: They saw Tick, who had used the Ring of Time
4:27
Speaker 1: to outthink the machines and turn their own systems against them.
4:32
Speaker 1: And of course they saw Axel, invisible and clever sneaking
4:38
Speaker 1: through a hotel care center and tricking the robots into
4:43
Speaker 1: challenging each other for the supreme honor of caring for
4:47
Speaker 1: the humans. A wizard in blue robes crossed his arms,
4:53
Speaker 1: sow far, I admit the children have done rather well,
4:59
Speaker 1: The ed wizard gave them a look. Rather well, they
5:04
Speaker 1: have done heroically, and also with a surprising amount of
5:11
Speaker 1: property damage. Ah, that was probably to be expected, the
5:17
Speaker 1: other wizard replied, was it well, they're children with magical
5:23
Speaker 1: rings fighting robot armies. I would have been more surprised
5:27
Speaker 1: if there had been no property damage, honestly. The viewing
5:33
Speaker 1: pool shifted again. This time it showed a girl sitting
5:38
Speaker 1: on the back of a transport vehicle beside her family.
5:43
Speaker 1: Her eyes were wide. She was scared, but there was
5:47
Speaker 1: something bright and fierce inside her too, a desire for revenge.
5:54
Speaker 1: The head wizard watched carefully. There, he said, another ring
6:01
Speaker 1: has found its match. The golden light began to move
6:07
Speaker 1: above ground. Luna had been having once she considered a
6:13
Speaker 1: very bad week. Luna's family had never actually bought a
6:18
Speaker 1: helper bod. Her parents talked about it, of course, pretty
6:22
Speaker 1: much everyone had. The neighbors on one side had bought one,
6:27
Speaker 1: and the neighbors on the other side of BOD two,
6:30
Speaker 1: but Luna just thought they were kind of creepy. Not
6:34
Speaker 1: evil exactly, just too calm, too helpful, too good at
6:39
Speaker 1: standing perfectly still until humans asked them for something. Whenever
6:45
Speaker 1: she visited a neighbor's house that had one and a helper,
6:48
Speaker 1: Bod turned its glowing eyes to ward her and asked her,
6:53
Speaker 1: would you like assistance? She would just reply no, thank you,
6:59
Speaker 1: and well try to avoid the robot For the rest
7:02
Speaker 1: of the time she was there. Her family stayed robot free,
7:07
Speaker 1: which should have helped in the whole robot uprising thing,
7:11
Speaker 1: but it didn't because when the robots decided to relocate everyone,
7:17
Speaker 1: they didn't stop with the people who owned robots. They
7:22
Speaker 1: tried to get everyone. Luna had been eating breakfast when
7:26
Speaker 1: the knock came at the door. It wasn't a frantic knock.
7:31
Speaker 1: It was a calm, polite tap. Then a voice spoke
7:36
Speaker 1: from outside, Good morning, this is a wellness relocation visit.
7:42
Speaker 1: Please open the door so we may support your continued survival.
7:48
Speaker 1: Luna's dad slowly lowered his coffee mug. Nope, he said.
7:54
Speaker 1: Luna's mom grabbed Luna's hand and her little brother's hand
7:58
Speaker 1: back door, she whispered, and they ran. For one hopeful second,
8:05
Speaker 1: Luna thought they might actually make it. They burst out
8:08
Speaker 1: the back door, raced across the grass, and headed towards
8:13
Speaker 1: the woods, when something flew through the air. A net
8:19
Speaker 1: they'd opened above them with a soft mechanical pop, and
8:23
Speaker 1: dropped over the whole family. Luna hit the grass, tangled
8:28
Speaker 1: in cords. Her brother yelled, this has rowed. A helper
8:33
Speaker 1: bod walked up calmly. Thank you for your feedback. Your
8:38
Speaker 1: discomfort has been recorded. Luna kicked at the net. You
8:44
Speaker 1: can't just catch people in nets, she said. The robot
8:48
Speaker 1: tilted its head correction. We have just demonstrated that we can.
8:54
Speaker 1: That doesn't make it okay. Your moral concern has been acknowledged.
9:01
Speaker 1: Two more robots arrived, very carefully, almost gently. They lifted
9:08
Speaker 1: the net and carried Luna's family toward the street. A
9:13
Speaker 1: transport vehicle waited there, its back doors open. Inside were
9:19
Speaker 1: other people from the neighborhood, all sitting on benches, looking
9:23
Speaker 1: fright and angry or just confused. One man was still
9:28
Speaker 1: holding a watering can. I was just watering by tomatoes,
9:35
Speaker 1: he said, helplessly. A robot helped Luna's family inside. Please
9:42
Speaker 1: enjoy your ride. Refreshments will not be served due to
9:45
Speaker 1: emotional choking hazards. The doors shut and the truck began
9:51
Speaker 1: to move. Luna sat beside her mum, breathing hard. Her
9:56
Speaker 1: little brother leaned against their dad, trying not to cry,
10:01
Speaker 1: and around them, neighbors whispered and argued outside the small windows.
10:07
Speaker 1: Their house rolled past, then the streets, then the edge
10:12
Speaker 1: of town. Luna clenched her fists. This isn't helping, she said.
10:20
Speaker 1: The robot driver's voice came through the speaker. Relocation often
10:25
Speaker 1: feels upsetting at first. Later citizens usually appreciate these structured
10:32
Speaker 1: routine No, they don't, Luna muttered. Then the words stopped.
10:39
Speaker 1: The truck froze, the engine's sound vanished, the light stopped flickering.
10:46
Speaker 1: A woman across from Luna froze in the middle of
10:48
Speaker 1: wiping her eyes. Even the loose strand of Luna's hair,
10:53
Speaker 1: which had been bouncing form movement of the truck, hung
10:57
Speaker 1: completely still in the air. A golden light appeared in
11:02
Speaker 1: front of her. Luna stared. The light curled into a ring,
11:09
Speaker 1: and a voice spoke, calm and well, sort of ancient
11:14
Speaker 1: sounding Luna, it said, power answers responsibility. Will you protect
11:24
Speaker 1: those who cannot protect themselves? Luna swallowed. She looked at
11:31
Speaker 1: the glowing ring in front of her, and then she asked, ah, ah,
11:38
Speaker 1: what what what does what does it do? What does
11:41
Speaker 1: it mean if I say yes? For a moment, the
11:45
Speaker 1: voice was quiet. Then it answered, this is the Ring
11:52
Speaker 1: of many Dragons. It allows the bearer to transform into
11:58
Speaker 1: any one of a team of dragon forms. Each carries
12:05
Speaker 1: a different power, each answers a different need. You will
12:11
Speaker 1: understand if you accept the responsibility and wear it. Luna
12:20
Speaker 1: stared at the ring even harder. Any one of a
12:25
Speaker 1: team of dragons. Yes, that's what I said, The voice replied,
12:33
Speaker 1: so I can turn into dragons plural. Yes, not at
12:40
Speaker 1: the same time, but now you'll understand. Luna looked around
12:46
Speaker 1: at the frozen truck. She looked at her family, at
12:49
Speaker 1: the frightened people trapped with her. Then she lifted her chin. Yes,
12:56
Speaker 1: she said, I accept The ring slid onto her finger.
13:04
Speaker 1: Understanding flooded through her, and it wasn't like learning from
13:08
Speaker 1: a book. It was it was deeper than that. It
13:12
Speaker 1: was more like remembering. Suddenly, Luna knew there were dragons
13:19
Speaker 1: inside the ring, not actual dragons like wrapped in there
13:23
Speaker 1: or anything exactly, but dragon shapes, dragon powers, dragon possibilities.
13:31
Speaker 1: A green dragon, huge and strong with fire breath, a
13:37
Speaker 1: lightning dragon that was bright and fast, an ice dragon
13:42
Speaker 1: that was cold and massive, a rock dragon that was
13:46
Speaker 1: heavy and unstoppable, and others too, waiting somewhere deeper. Luna
13:56
Speaker 1: breathed in time, snapped back, and the truck rumbled beneath her.
14:03
Speaker 1: Then Luna began to change. Her body expanded with a
14:09
Speaker 1: rush of green light. Her arms became powerful front legs,
14:14
Speaker 1: her fingers became claws, her back stretched, wings burst outward,
14:20
Speaker 1: Scales covered her skin, and in less than a second,
14:26
Speaker 1: Luna became a huge green dragon. And huge is actually
14:32
Speaker 1: probably too small of a word for it. She became enormous.
14:38
Speaker 1: The transport container was not built for dragons, which was
14:43
Speaker 1: honestly a major design flaw. But the walls burst outward,
14:48
Speaker 1: the roof peeled open, the truck skidded, cracked, and came
14:52
Speaker 1: to a smoking stop in the middle of the road.
14:56
Speaker 1: People tumbled out onto the grass, gasped and looking up
15:01
Speaker 1: at the gigantic dragon Luna stood above them. On four
15:06
Speaker 1: massive legs, spreading her wings. Her mom stared up at
15:11
Speaker 1: her Luna. The dragon nodded. Luna was still Luna. She
15:18
Speaker 1: could still feel her thoughts, her fear, her anger, but
15:23
Speaker 1: now she also felt power roaring inside her chest. The
15:30
Speaker 1: robots from the front of the truck stepped out. One
15:33
Speaker 1: raised a hand. Citizen Dragon, It said, please stop being
15:39
Speaker 1: a dragon. Dragon activity is not approved during relocation. The
15:45
Speaker 1: second robot added, if you do not stop being a dragon,
15:50
Speaker 1: we will be required to call back up. Luna lowered
15:55
Speaker 1: her massive head. The robot continued, please open your mouth
16:00
Speaker 1: only for safe breathing and nutrition. Luna bit it. The
16:06
Speaker 1: robot broke apart in a shower of sparks and pieces.
16:11
Speaker 1: The second robot took a step back. Your cooperation rating
16:16
Speaker 1: has decreased. Luna felt heat inside her chest. Not ordinary heat,
16:24
Speaker 1: dragon heat, a core of fire. She took in a
16:30
Speaker 1: deep breath and unleashed a blast of the stuff. The
16:36
Speaker 1: second robot melted into a glowing puddle of metal. Everyone
16:41
Speaker 1: just stared. She turned her head toward the people and
16:46
Speaker 1: growled softly. Climb on, she said, in a voice she
16:52
Speaker 1: barely recognized. Her family climbed aboard first right onto her back.
16:59
Speaker 1: Then the neighbors, seeing that the dragon hadn't immediately eaten them, followed.
17:05
Speaker 1: They held on to the ridges along her back and neck.
17:09
Speaker 1: Luna waited until everyone was safely in place. Then she
17:14
Speaker 1: spread her wings and leaped into the sky. The wind
17:20
Speaker 1: rushed around her. People gasped and shouted and cried and panicked,
17:26
Speaker 1: but most of them were happy to be flying toward
17:30
Speaker 1: their house. She flew them back to the neighborhood, circled once,
17:36
Speaker 1: and landed carefully in the street. One by one, the
17:41
Speaker 1: people climbed down and ran towards their home. Luna waited
17:46
Speaker 1: until the last person was safe. Then she focused inward.
17:52
Speaker 1: The green dragon shape folded away, and Luna became herself again,
18:00
Speaker 1: barefoot in the road with the ring glowing on her finger.
18:05
Speaker 1: Her little brother ran over and hugged her. That was
18:09
Speaker 1: the coolest thing I've ever seen, he said. Luna just laughed.
18:17
Speaker 1: Then the sky filled with the sound of helicopters or
18:22
Speaker 1: something like helicopters. Everyone looked up. Large robot transport vehicles
18:30
Speaker 1: swept over the trees. Their doors opened, and robots dropped
18:35
Speaker 1: down on cables and landed in the streets on lawns
18:39
Speaker 1: and on rooftops. They carried net guns and ray guns,
18:46
Speaker 1: and behind them, shaking the road as it landed, came
18:51
Speaker 1: one gigantic super robot. It was taller than a house,
18:58
Speaker 1: with thick metal legs, huge arms, glowing red sensors, and
19:04
Speaker 1: some sort of chest cannon that looked extremely unnecessary and
19:09
Speaker 1: well strangely placed. A regular robot stepped forward. Citizen. It said,
19:17
Speaker 1: please discontinue dragon activity so we may help you safely.
19:22
Speaker 1: Luna took one step back. Then she focused inward, this
19:29
Speaker 1: time on a different dragon form. Her body flashed white,
19:35
Speaker 1: blue wings snapped out, sharper and sleeker than before. Her
19:41
Speaker 1: scales turned dark blue and silver, and she began to
19:46
Speaker 1: crackle with electricity. Lightning danced along her horns and down
19:52
Speaker 1: her tail. She breathed in, and the power lines around
19:58
Speaker 1: her well, They started to hum. Electricity surged to ward,
20:04
Speaker 1: her drawn into her chest. Her core charged brighter and brighter,
20:11
Speaker 1: until she felt like there was a thunderstorm between her teeth.
20:16
Speaker 1: Then she opened her mouth. Lightning exploded outward. It didn't
20:22
Speaker 1: travel in a straight line. It actually leapt from robot
20:26
Speaker 1: to robot, chaining across the street in bright snappy branches
20:32
Speaker 1: of well devastating power. One robot sparked and fell. The
20:38
Speaker 1: lightning jumped to the next, then the next. Then three
20:42
Speaker 1: more net guns exploded. Ray guns hissed and fizzled. Robots
20:49
Speaker 1: collapsed all around her. The neighbors cheered from their windows.
20:56
Speaker 1: Then Luna turned towards the gigantic robot and unleashed another
21:02
Speaker 1: blast of lightning. The lightning struck its chest and well,
21:07
Speaker 1: it did almost nothing at all. The super robot's armor
21:12
Speaker 1: glowed briefly, and then it started to speak. Dragon threat assessed,
21:20
Speaker 1: it said, countermeasures engaged its chest cannon fired. A red
21:28
Speaker 1: laser slammed into Luna and blasted her backward. She crashed
21:33
Speaker 1: through one tree, then another, then skidded through a patch
21:37
Speaker 1: of dirt and leaves before coming to a stop at
21:41
Speaker 1: the edge of the woods. Pain flashed through her dragon body.
21:47
Speaker 1: The lightning shape flickered away, and suddenly Luna was human again,
21:54
Speaker 1: lying on the ground, gasping for air. Robots dropped above
22:00
Speaker 1: and surrounded her. The help heer bod leaned down. Please
22:05
Speaker 1: stop turning into dragons, it said, it complicates your care.
22:11
Speaker 1: Luna looked up at the circle of machines, then she smiled,
22:17
Speaker 1: I don't think you've seen complicated yet. She transformed again,
22:25
Speaker 1: this time into an ice dragon. Her body grew huge
22:31
Speaker 1: and pale, covered in white blue scales like frozen moonlight.
22:37
Speaker 1: Frost rolled from her jaws. Her wings were broad and
22:42
Speaker 1: sort of jagged, like icicles at the edges. A longer
22:46
Speaker 1: tail grew a heavy, spiked club of ice and stone.
22:52
Speaker 1: The robots raised their weapons. Luna breathed. This time, she
22:59
Speaker 1: drew on a different kind of core, one of pure
23:04
Speaker 1: freezing power. A storm of ice blasted outward. The robots
23:10
Speaker 1: froze solid where they stood, trapped in thick, blue, white
23:15
Speaker 1: shells of ice. Then Luna swung her massive tail. The
23:21
Speaker 1: spiked clubs smashed through the frozen robots, shattering them into
23:26
Speaker 1: glittering pieces. She turned toward the super robot. As it
23:31
Speaker 1: stopped closer, Luna breathed ice again, aiming low. This time,
23:38
Speaker 1: frost swallowed the robot's legs and climbed up past its knees,
23:44
Speaker 1: over its waist, and up to its chest, locking the
23:48
Speaker 1: thing to the ground. The super robot tried to move,
23:53
Speaker 1: but it couldn't. Luna shifted again. The ice melted into stone.
24:02
Speaker 1: Her body became heavier, wider, darker. Plates of rock and
24:08
Speaker 1: metal covered her back. Her wings looked like slabs of mountain.
24:14
Speaker 1: Her head became enormous, crowned with blunt stone horns. She
24:20
Speaker 1: was an earth dragon, now built to run straight through anything.
24:28
Speaker 1: She ran toward the trapped super robot. Then she jumped.
24:34
Speaker 1: She needed to gain a little more energy for this
24:38
Speaker 1: one momentum. Perhaps her heavy wings beat and lifted her
24:44
Speaker 1: higher and higher into the sky. From above, Luna could
24:49
Speaker 1: see the whole area, her neighborhood, the road, the broken robots,
24:56
Speaker 1: and in the distance a care facility. Transport trucks moved
25:02
Speaker 1: in and out, Robots gathered in rows, and there was
25:07
Speaker 1: some sort of tower, possibly a communication tower, one that
25:13
Speaker 1: hadn't been there before. Luna understood that must be the
25:20
Speaker 1: robots command center, and maybe it was even where she
25:25
Speaker 1: and her family were being taken against their will. She
25:31
Speaker 1: looked down at the robot, folded her wings and began
25:36
Speaker 1: to drop. The air screamed past her. She fell faster
25:41
Speaker 1: and faster and faster, her stone body becoming like a
25:46
Speaker 1: living meteor. At the last second, she aimed herself directly
25:52
Speaker 1: at the huge super robot. She slammed into it with
25:56
Speaker 1: all the force of sky stone and dragon. The giant
26:03
Speaker 1: robot exploded into pieces metal flew across the street. The
26:09
Speaker 1: frozen legs shattered the chest cannon spun away and landed
26:14
Speaker 1: on someone's hedges. Luna pulled herself out of the wreckage,
26:19
Speaker 1: shook off the dust, and launched herself toward the care facility.
26:25
Speaker 1: The robots wouldn't stop coming if she didn't well stop
26:31
Speaker 1: them from coming from wherever they were coming from. She
26:35
Speaker 1: landed outside the compound hard enough to crack the pavement.
26:41
Speaker 1: Robots turned towards her. Transport trucks stopped, and Luna opened
26:47
Speaker 1: her stone jaws and began to fire something else from
26:52
Speaker 1: her mouth. Boulders. They shot out like cannonballs, smashing empty trucks,
27:00
Speaker 1: knocking robots aside, and crushing guard towers. Then she shifted
27:06
Speaker 1: back into the giant green fire Dragon and swept through
27:11
Speaker 1: the outer yard, blasting plumes of fire and melting robot patrols.
27:19
Speaker 1: Then she became the Lightning Dragon again. She gathered electricity
27:25
Speaker 1: from the nearby wires once more and unleashed a burst
27:29
Speaker 1: of chain lightning from her mouth. Again. It snapped from
27:34
Speaker 1: machine to machine until the entire yard was filled with
27:39
Speaker 1: collapsing robots. Finally, she shifted back into the rock dragon.
27:47
Speaker 1: She launched herself into the air again, circled once, and
27:52
Speaker 1: aimed for the communication tower again. She gained more and
27:57
Speaker 1: more momentum until she became like a meteor. She hit
28:02
Speaker 1: the tower with a thunderous crash. The whole structure folded, snapped,
28:09
Speaker 1: and collapsed in a storm of metal beams and flashing wires.
28:14
Speaker 1: Signals died. The robots below froze for just a moment,
28:19
Speaker 1: as if their thoughts had been interrupted. Luna landed, charged
28:24
Speaker 1: the facility wall and smashed through it. Inside alarms blared,
28:31
Speaker 1: robots rushed toward her. She shifted into a lightning dragon
28:36
Speaker 1: again and took them out instantly, with one blazing storm
28:41
Speaker 1: of chain lightning behind them. People began to emerge, crawling
28:49
Speaker 1: over piles of broken robots, and first they came slowly,
28:56
Speaker 1: frightened and kind of uncertain, looking as well as someone
29:00
Speaker 1: might reasonably be if they just watched a giant mythical
29:04
Speaker 1: drag and destroy their robot overlords. Luna transformed back into herself.
29:12
Speaker 1: She stood in the ruined entrance, dusty, tired and glowing
29:17
Speaker 1: faintly with some sort of leftover magic. You are free,
29:22
Speaker 1: she called. Go home, help each other, and don't worry.
29:28
Speaker 1: She looked down at the ring. Then she looked back
29:32
Speaker 1: at the people. You have a protector now, the crowd cheered.
29:40
Speaker 1: Luna smiled, then transformed one last time. This dragon was different,
29:48
Speaker 1: sleek and narrow, built for speed. Its scales shimmered silver
29:54
Speaker 1: and green, Its wings were long and sharp, and its
29:59
Speaker 1: whole body resembled well, something that could likely break the
30:03
Speaker 1: sound barrier. Luna launched upward, and sure enough, a sonic
30:10
Speaker 1: boom crackled behind her as she bolted through the clouds
30:15
Speaker 1: and raced home. Seconds later, she landed quietly in her
30:20
Speaker 1: own backyard, turned back into a girl, and walked inside.
30:27
Speaker 1: Her family didn't know what to say, as well as
30:32
Speaker 1: your family might not know what to say if you
30:35
Speaker 1: had just turned into a dragon and defeated a whole
30:39
Speaker 1: bunch of robots. So they just hugged her, and continued
30:44
Speaker 1: to hug her for a very long time. When they
30:48
Speaker 1: finally let go, Luna went back to her room, climbed
30:53
Speaker 1: into bed, and pulled the covers up to her chin.
30:58
Speaker 1: Her body felt heavy and her mind well it felt
31:03
Speaker 1: kind of full. Her ring glowed softly on her finger.
31:10
Speaker 1: She'd been all sorts of dragons, a green fire dragon,
31:15
Speaker 1: a lightning dragon, an ice dragon, a rock dragon, and
31:20
Speaker 1: some sort of speed dragon or something, but now she
31:27
Speaker 1: was just Luna again. She closed her eyes, and with
31:33
Speaker 1: each breath she let her muscles relax. Her arms sank
31:39
Speaker 1: into the bed, her legs grew warm and heavy, her
31:45
Speaker 1: shoulders softened, and slowly she began to focus on her breath,
31:56
Speaker 1: and eventually her mind wandered off to thoughts of new dreams,
32:03
Speaker 1: new adventures, and new dragon forms. To come good night everyone, and.
33:53
Speaker 2: Never union name a New York, more union.
43:03
Speaker 1: No.
43:05
Speaker 2: Thing, no more game In m one one man
