The special offer
Mia and JB were building a castle in Sky Kingdom when a helpful player offered Mia a rare silver dragon. There was one condition: move to a private chat. Mia wanted the dragon, but the side door felt strange.
A secret and a photo
In the next message, the player said not to tell her parents and asked for a photograph. Mia worried that Mum might be angry or take the game away. JB moved closer. This is not your fault, he said. Do not answer. Take the chat to Mum.
The safe secret is shared
Mia carried the tablet to Mum. Mum listened without blame and thanked her for telling. You are not in trouble, she said. I cannot promise to keep this secret, because my job is to help keep you safe, but I will explain what we do next.
Help, then return safely
Mum kept the messages, blocked and reported the account and asked a specialist service for help. She did not forward any images or confront the player. Later, when it was safe, Mia and JB finished their castle together. The silver dragon had never been worth a secret.
