It was the eve of the annual Harvest Festival, a tradition that had been celebrated for generations. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the sky, the townsfolk buzzed with excitement, preparing for the festivities that would commence with the dawn. Among the villagers was young Emily, her eyes sparkling with eagerness as she helped her mother decorate their modest cottage with strings of colorful paper lanterns and fragrant autumn flowers.

In my family, the women have been strong, confident women despite their circumstances. They survived through pain and not the most extraordinary circumstances. The one who has affected me the most is my mother. She has been my Dragon throughout my entire life.
