Everything is so dark, I feel so tired, this darkness will be the same as the previous ones; I feel a tremor that runs through my entire body, causing me a chilling discomfort, from my feet to the ends of my hair. I wonder if Ágatha is going to come, what would I do without her, she has accompanied me since I have memories, that is, since I realized that I am not a being equal to all those around me. Now that I think about it, maybe Agatha came to me because she is also a unique being! Only in her have I seen those two majestic golden wings and those claws that could destroy everything, a fierce and tender being at the same time, because her eyes are two agathas that scream my girl I understand you, I will help you, you are not alone.

Every time a blanket fall over the light that obscures everything beautiful and visible, we remain in this cave, due to my fears and the lack of skill with the weapons that I possess, which makes it impossible for me to fight against everything that prevents me from moving forward, I only manage to try what is really life or death, and it has only been possible with the help of Ágatha.

Through the narrow entrance of this cave, which becomes my prison when darkness falls; I can see in the distance the armies of luminous beings forming squads ready to fight and today the general is with them, imposing and powerful. When the entire army is enlisted at the top, more beings usually appear in battle position, all seeking to be the winners and win the honor of facing, I think, the general, otherwise what would be the point of so many fights?

Where will Agatha be? I'm thirsty; but the water source is far away, my whole-body freezes at the thought of crossing this dangerous area without it; but I begin to feel a lukewarm sensation, this time, on my right side, I see again and there she is, with her beautiful eyes, looking at me and telling me my girl here I am, I am thirsty too; Let's go for that water.

Already encouraged and confident, I begin the fight to get out of the cave, however, we are trapped in an abyss that takes my breath away, I struggle clumsily with my two weapons, but they are so weak on a par with Agatha's claws; I feel faint, but I manage to hear Agatha's voice telling me that there was a ray of light ahead, that I cling to her huge tail, full of scales and large thorns, which instead of causing me harm, gave me security and confidence. and so, we managed to get out of the abyss.

Now free, the real odyssey begins, there are thousands of enemies that block our path, advancing becomes so difficult, we receive attacks from all fronts, with no hope that reinforcements will arrive, since there are some soldiers who assist me only when there are light and clarity; surely, they are also afraid of the dark. However, very slowly we advance, until we reach a huge wall, there I fall due to a trap set on the ground, there is no way to cross this wall, I try to use my other weapons that assist me when I advance, but they are not enough powerful.

I see that many of our enemies are lying in wait, but Ágatha warns me of a gem in the wall, I think I can reach it with my right hand, perhaps it represents the magic key for the mountain to allow us to enter and take from its entrails the precious liquid that forced us to take these big risks. Finally, with the help of Agatha, I manage to grab the pearl and magically the rock moves and makes way for us, I crawl and with the help of my friend I manage to sit up and take a few sips of water, then Agatha also drinks the precious liquid and tells me my girl, we must return to the cave.

The return was another adventure, leaving heavily hit by a being that pounced on me, wanting to hurt me, but my dear friend did not allow it, only managing to hit me hard on my side, which did not allow me to return by my own means to the cave, but I had to be dragged by Agatha. Already in the cave I lost consciousness, but I know that Ágatha accompanied me until everything was illuminated again.

I regained consciousness, when some beings tried to wake me up, scared they said, what could have happened to him, because he has this stroke, call a doctor, they know that the indication is that, despite his 20 years, but due to his disability, he must be treated like a girl. But I could only stammer, where are you, Ágatha?

Who hasn't spent a normal day, in a normal place, living a normal situation, but it really was an odyssey? It would really be a normal day, so judge for yourself, through the story of a day in the life of a baby and her dragon Agatha.

Let's start by locating ourselves in the place where our story will unfold, it won't be difficult, because it is an ordinary city, with buildings, a school, a supermarket and houses, in one of which the Leitón family lives, made up of a father, a mother and three children.

A normal day you hear the sweet voice of the mother saying to get up baby, that you should go take a bath. However, the baby is exhausted due to a fierce battle that she waged, along with her friend Ágatha, throughout the night.
