Ch1 Part 5 Adventures of Sophia 

"Sophia in Mt. Chingotle" 


It was a hand; hand whose texture she thought she had felt somewhere, but she was so scared not by the fear of dying but the fear of not being able to cure her beloved aunt, Mrs. Olivia and upsetting her whole town.

She then realized that she was saved. She turned around to thank whoever or whatever it was. But she could not believe her eyes!!! It was…It was her FATHER.

She looked at him with anger in her eyes, just like a cat staring, just like someone looks at its greatest enemy.

"I would have better died than getting saved by a fraud" said Sophia angrily.

"Sophia try to understand me…"

"I don't want to hear an another lie you locked me up in the dungeon, which father can do that huh?"

"Listen I locked you up just to help you."

"WHAT??!!"

"Yes, I…" He stopped and pushed Sophia.

Sophia fell on her back and a big fierce creature leapt over her on her father.

'Hmmm Mr. Morris was right about the creatures here'

It was a big creature 10 feet long 6 feet wide. It looked very heavy.

It had a long tail with a bush of hair at the end. His body was not so furry but it had a beautifully blended shade of light blue and pink color.

Its face was completely light orange and its eyelids were of skin color.

She saw her father fighting that fierce creature. It was the first time she admired him. Not as a father but a warrior.

Her father removed an injection like thing and pricked it in the neck of the fierce creature and that creature fell on the ground and was probably dead.

"That was a brave battle and a work to do with might. Thank you."

"Hah! That was nothing." he replied

"What kind of animal was it?"

"It is called 'Taiga'. It I one of the most endangered and rare animals in the whole world. It is very powerful."

"Oh that was quiet interesting bit of information."

"But… Why did you kill it if it is endangered?"

"Killing! We tribal never do a sin such as killing. I just have given it a dozing medicine."

"Ahhhh I was telling you how I helped you by locking you" Sophia's father said

"Do you remember the boy who came to you? I sent him."

Sophia got confused and then said, "How can I believe you."


"Ha! We are tribals, our security system is no less strong than your bank if I had given the order to leave you they would have killed both of us.
And how do you think a small boy would know a way to break through it?!"



"Oh!" Sophia felt sorry for her wrong thinking about him but still she had some anger left in her mind as he didn't come back home.

They climbed up and up and up.

Racing through the thorny bushes, itching where the mosquitoes bit.

Finally after hours and hours of hard work and patience they reached the peak of Mt. Chingotle. There lay the Pluro flower on the plain of the peak Mt. Chingotle.

Sophia was very happy and the looks on her face were satisfied.

It was a medium sized flower with yellow pollens, purple petals and a extraordinary red colored stem.

She rushed toward it but her father didn’t he was thinking something he called out for Sophia but Alas! It was too late.

Something hit Sophia and acted like a repellent.

She fell in her father's feet and looked up at her father. He was staring at something with his mouth wide open.

It was a creature it was a…a dragon!!!

Sophia's father sat down on his knees and put a hand on his heart; and told Sophia to do the same.

While bowing he muttered to Sophia "Listen to me carefully" he paused and then continued.

"This is the safroon dragon. It is considered sacred god of the Chingotlians. The one who sees it is blessed and long lived. No one has ever seen THE SAFROON… But I have.

Sophia thought 'Nothing can stop me from curing Mrs. Olivia.' She just slowly moved her eyeballs up.

THE Safroon was standing there with 10 to 50 ft of aura around it.

She waited for the right movement and ran to reach to the Pluro flower.

She was just there but something pushed her and she went flying and hit a wall.

But…But she was not hurt a bit.

'How did that happen?!'

The dragon came flying towards Sophia. She immediately stood in a defensive position

Safroon said, "Don't worry my child. I will do nothing to you. I am the protector of the Pluro flower. Pluro can be used for good purposes but if in wrong hand can cause extreme destruction."

He took the Pluro flower and handed it over to Sophia.

"Why do you trust me?" - Sophia

"I am a dragon and we dragons have got the power to see the things no one else can see. I have seen your history. I trust you to use it carefully. But before you leave give a petal of the Pluro."

Sophia did as he said.

He took the petal and buried it under the soil from where he had picked it.

"This will grow another Pluro." - Safroon

She thanked Safroon and climbed down.

They soon reached the settlement.

She asked her father to come with her to Telnor.

But he said no. He said, "I will not be accepted and perhaps your mother won't accept me."

"Don’t be in a wrong impression. Come with me." - Sophia

After a long discussion he agreed and came with her.

They reached Telnor town. Her father saw the advancement in the town with his eyes wide spread.

She first ran to Mrs. Olivia's house. She was in a serious condition. Mrs. Polly was sitting nearby. She saw Sophia and cried with excitement. She saw the Pluro flower and broke the flower by its stem and crushed the stem and dropped the juice secreted by it in Mrs. Olivia's mouth.

Mrs. Olivia became as agile as a monkey and thanked Sophia.

By then a person with a basket on his head had come to give food for Mrs. Olivia. But saw Sophia. Dropped the basket and ran outside he called all villagers.

All were fascinated by the miracle. Through the crowed came her mother and hugged her.

She said I brought a surprise for you. And turned back but she couldn't find him.

She ran outside. He was standing from where she started running.

Her mother screamed, "Antonio!!!!!!!"

Her father cried, "Hannah!!!!!!!!!!" and they hugged each other.
