The girl who loved the night | Story+illustration process [ENG-ESP]

Andrea, or as everyone called her; Andy. She was a girl who lived on the outskirts of Wood Town, a small town where more than half of the inhabitants lived from the production of wooden articles. She was a very lonely girl because it was impossible for her to go outside to play with friends because the sun hurt her.

Andrea, o como todos le decían; Andy. Era una chica que vivía en las afueras de wood town un pequeño pueblo donde mas de la mitad los habitantes, vivian de la producción de artículos de madera. Era una niña muy solitaria pues era imposible que saliera a jugar afuera con amigos. debido a que el sol le dañaba.

Andy loved the evenings because it was the only time of the day when she could go out to play. Alone, yes, but she still had fun, after she finished she would go to her balcony and watch the stars and the sunset, as it seemed they were the only ones who understood her as she felt.

Andy amaba las noches pues era el único momento del día cuando podía salir a jugar. Sola eso si, pero igual se divertía, luego de terminar se iba a su balcón y se quedaba viendo las estrellas y el anochecer, pues al parecer eran los únicos que la entendían según ella sentía.

One night on the balcony, she saw a shooting star pass by and without thinking she quickly made a wish. Then she took a glass of milk and went to bed, after a few minutes she felt someone touching her window and when she opened her eyes; in front of her there was a big doll made of fluffy clouds; impossible to describe...

Una noche en el balcón, vio pasar una estrella fugaz y sin pensarlo pidió un deseo rápidamente. Luego tomo un vaso de leche y fue a la cama, al cabo de unos minutos sintió que alguien tocaba su ventana y cuando abre los ojos; frente a ella había un gran muñeco hecho de nubes esponjosas; imposible de describir...

My name is Lancelot, I am the guardian of the forests of heaven- he spoke while bowing to the little girl. She was very confused and could hardly answer; -but... but what are you doing here? could she get out of her astonishment?
-Did you hit your head? you called me? ***Lancelot answered with joy on his face.

At that moment he remembered that his wish was to be able to fly to touch the clouds with his bare hands and travel across the sky. Andy and Lancelot ventured to fly on what would perhaps be the most beautiful journey of their lives.
Andy found himself running his fingers through the clouds and feeling such joy that nothing else mattered at that moment.

As the minutes passed, it seemed like seconds, Lancelot began to pull little Andy's feet, telling her, "Hey, Andy, wake up, it's time to brush your teeth and eat your breakfast. Andy, not knowing what happened, just had a happy expression on his face, because whether it was a dream or not, it was the best experience he could have had in his whole life.

Mi nombre es Lancelot, soy guardián de los bosques del cielo- le hablo mientras hacia una reverencia a la pequeña niña. Ella muy confundida apenas podía responder; -pero.. pero que haces aquí ?pudo salir del asombro
-acaso te golpeaste la cabeza ? tu me has llamado. Respondió lancelot con alegría en su rostro.

En ese momento recordó que su deseo era poder volar para tocar las nubes con sus propias manos y viajar a través del cielo. Andy y Lancelot se aventuraron a volar en el que tal vez seria el viaje mas hermoso de su vida.
Andy se encontraba pasando sus dedos por las nubes y sintiendo tal alegría que solo te hacia pensar que nada mas importaba en ese momento.

Al pasar los minutos que parecían segundos Lancelot empieza a halar de los pies a la pequeña Andy diciéndole -oyeee. andy oyeeee. despierta, hora de lavar tus dientes y desayunar . Andy sin saber que paso solo tenia una expresión de felicidad en su rostro. pues fuese un sueño o no.. era la mejor experiencia que pudo haber vivido en toda su vida.
