Dani stared at the dragon as it landed away from her. She let out a sigh of relief, but was still tense. Dani remembered her bow and raised it. However, before she pulled back the arrow, a voice stopped her.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Hello I'm Lyra and you are? And do you know what the heck happened? What was that light?"</span><br/><br/>"Umm... Hi? My name's Danielle. I'm not really sure what caused the light, but it looks like Stonehenge is in one piece again," Dani said, as she turned to the person. "So... The dragon...?" She asked, unable to form the words that she was searching for. She had never seen any creature like it, that is, other than those in books and fairy tales.<br/><br/>Dani knew there would be no going back to sleep now. If she did, she would most likely have nightmares.<br/><br/>~~~~~<br/><br/>Dimitri stared at the Roman Colosseum. The crumbling parts were now intact, and it looked almost as if he had gone back in time to when it was built. At least, that's how it would seem if it wasn't for all of the vehicles in the streets and new-age buildings surrounding.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">â€œHey! Do you know whatâ€™s going on here?!â€</span><br/><br/>Bimka barked and growled as he approached the human and the other canine-looking animal. "Oshtalavitz." Dimitri commanded, and the Samoyed stopped in his tracks, but he still bared his teeth.<br/><br/>"Good question. Perhaps this is some kind of rift in space and time? At any rate, I'm sure there is a scientific explanation to this," Dimitri waved his hand toward the Colosseum. "It's as it was when it was built."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">â€I guess dogs still need to go out, even at the end of the world, huh?â€ he asked in a non-threatening way. "Excuse me, Iâ€™m sorry to interrupt, but do you guys know whatâ€™s going on around here?â€</span><br/><br/>Bimka momentarily stopped his growling and looked towards this new threat. He approached him slowly and sniffed his outstretched hand. Bimka gave it a dismissive lick, as if deciding this one wasn't a threat after all.<br/><br/>"I was just telling her that there's got to be some sort of scientific explanation, although, I would really like to know what myself," Dimitri replied.<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">8 Hours later</span><br/><br/><br/>Dimitri's stomach rumbled. He had been outside all that time. Dimitri tried calling his parents several times, but there wasn't any signal. He recalled having signal a few hours ago though, so it struck him as very strange.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"All over the world strange things have been happening. Many places have reported a bright light and restoration of many historic sites. The explanation is still unknown. The good news, it's morning and we're still alive!"</span><br/><br/>Dimitri followed the voice to a house with a big screen TV and the door was left wide open, despite the cold of December. If the others were still around that he had met earlier, he motioned them over to listen too.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Also, it appears that cell phone signals and internet signals all over the world have stopped working. Scientists and technicians alike are baffled by this sudden happening. Some are questioning what will be the next bit of our culture will be wiped from existence? What else will be miraculously restored? And more importantly, what does this all mean?"</span><br/><br/>~~~~~<br/><br/>Dani had built a fire before morning and was now munching on dried meats. What happened hours ago seemed to have been only moments ago and continued to play through in her head. Dani glanced over at the dragon and wondered what other fairy tales had become real. Her head was spinning at everything that had happened. Her phone was no longer working, which pretty much cut her off from the rest of the world since she was out camping by Stonehenge. Dani sighed, trying to come up with something to say to start conversation with her new acquaintance.
