The little girl stared at the crystal ball in her hands, her big brown eyes wide with wonder. She was so focused on the orb that she didn't notice the small dragon perched on her shoulder, its black scales gleaming in the sunlight. The dragon tilted its head and looked at the girl, its eyes filled with curiosity. The girl smiled and reached up to touch the dragon's nose. The dragon purred and nuzzled her hand. The girl and the dragon were best friends, and they loved to play together in the forest.
