I've proved my theory that there are some crazy people out there... Or maybe that was just the internet in general that proved it.
People are different. Talking to strangers can be fun or weird depending on who you talk to. As a guy who isn't a fan of social media or being online for extended periods of time, I do enjoying visiting these forums from time to time.
Having a dragon for a friend can be useful for dealing with trolls. She's the most powerful witch on the planet, and can find anyone anywhere in the world, and grant them their fondest dreams, as a nightmare. She's busy, and works for a lot of people, but one her jobs is to watch my back, and neither time nor space have any real meaning for her.
