The last conversation

They were happy and happy in each other's company.
If those who knew them then survived, they would say that a couple of friends were not only from very different materials, but also from different matters.
One was the Dragon born of Calmness. The second was The Tree.
He was always somewhere. As a Dragon of Calmness, he was very curious and didn't move around, but simply happen where he wanted to be.
It has always been here. Being The Tree, it was very inquisitive. After long wanderings through the elemental plains, it rooted itself in the Dragon's.
Whenever he appeared here, it asked for the story of his stay there, not letting a single detail be missed.
He spared no words for The Tree.
Whether he shared all his stories with The Tree, we do not know, but first we recall their last conversation.
 
*
- Do you remember how it all started? asked The Tree.
- It hasn't started yet, - he replied. - And when it starts, people will come and ruin everything.
Having said this, the Dragon was silent for a moment. Eternity later he said:
- Perhaps now is the time. What do you think, my friend?
But the old friend remained silent. The Dragon looked at his withered friend, who had devoted the rest of his life to guarding the child of Calmness. It dried up like that, covering the Dragon with its branches from any dangers at the moment of silence. Feeling what happened, the Dragon sadly began to exhale time.
