1. THE ENCOUNTER / EL ENCUENTRO
And there it was, crouching into the darkness, hidden behind the shadows of the table foot, trying not to be perceived, in vain. Never had I seen something similar before. At first sight, it looked like a butterfly, with bright scarlet wings, printed with green loops and white dots. When I got closer, though, I realized it was something completely different. The strange creature was small, three inches size; its torso and limbs were covered by dark black scales, and its tail and back were crowned by spines. It had a white crest upon its dragon head, and the skull supported those red, devilish eyes that I still hold in my memory. Suddendly, the creature jump once. Then, one more time. It raised its neck and head, and, with the jaws widely opened, it yawn noisily, exhaling a little black smoke cloud that slowly vanished in the air.
Since it was a unique animal, as you may agree, I tried to catch it. However, when I grasped it with my bare hands, it bit me, and escaped. The wound was so profound, and the pain was so intense that... I woke up.

Ahí estaba, agazapado en la obscuridad, oculto en la penumbra al pie de la mesa, intentando no ser descubierto, en vano. Nunca antes había visto algo similar. A primera vista aparentaba ser una mariposa, con brillantes alas rojas, impresas con texturas de puntos blancos y anillos verdes. Al acercarme un poco más, me di cuenta de que se trataba de algo completamente diferente. La extraña criatura era pequeña, como de unos 8 centímetros, su torso y extremidades cubiertas por escamas negras; su espalda y cola incrustadas de espinas; una cresta blanca coronaba su cabeza de dragón, y su cráneo sostenía esos ojos rojizos, diabólicos que hasta ahora permanecen en mi memoria. De improviso, la criatura saltó una vez.. Luego, una vez más. Elevó su cuello y cabeza y, con las fauces bien abiertas, bostezó estrepitosamente, mientras exhalaba una pequeña nube de humo negro que lentamente se desvaneció en el aire.
Tal vez coincidas conmigo en la idea de que era una criatura única. Fue por esa razón que intenté atraparla. Sin embargo, cuando la sostenía entre mis manos y creía ya haberla capturado me mordió y escapó. Tan profunda fue la herida, y tan intenso fue el dolor que sentí que...desperté.
