As we stepped foot into the Bank of Dragons, I noticed two big statues in the lobby of the bank. The one in the center was made with stone, radiating with light in the shape of a girl with dragon horns and tails but no wings. She stood there with a sword in her hand, dressed plainly but looking very lively despite her frozen condition. The other statue was on the side; it looked like it was a lot newer and made with gold. It was a figure of a different girl, looking prideful with dragon horns and three pairs of wings. I asked Luck about the statues, and he said that they were the statues of the queens of Celestia.
Luck told me that he would get the tickets to Celestia for us, but he warned me to go back outside while he got the tickets. I was a little confused, but since this little boy in front of me seemed to know so much I decided not to question anything. I stepped outside and stared out at the city fountain in front of the bank. I looked at my reflection, yet I did not recognize myself. What was my name, where did I come from, was Celestia really what I was looking for? Numerous questions popped into my head. I looked back toward the bank to see if Luck was done, and through the glass of the rotating door I saw a man with white hair standing in the lobby. He looked like the man that helped escape from the dragon! Surprised, when he turned his head a little as if checking if anyone was looking, I quickly turned away to face the fountain once again.
A few minutes later, Luck came out of the bank. He looked a little nervous and asked me, “You didn’t look in the bank while I was getting the tickets, right?”
“Of course not,” I said. Of course it was a lie but maybe Luck was trying to protect me. But why was the white-haired man there, and did he know Luck? How did he get there so fast? So many questions went through my head, but I said nothing more than, “So did you get the tickets?”
Luck handed me one of the tickets and we walked back into the bank. I looked around to see if the man was still around, but I didn’t see him. We took an elevator to the top floor of the bank, where there was a boat floating among the clouds and two other people waiting in front of it.
