“To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And revery. The revery alone will do, If bees are few.” ― Emily Dickinson, The Complete Poems

When Spike is sick, or sleepy, or just plain bored, he'll suddenly know something about being a dragon. Sometimes, he can almost hear voices, telling him stories from beyond his shell.


In the far distant past, a dragon family shares the myths of the world with their eggs.

Really cute story.
Noticed something, though,

And he did breath his mighty breath on the world and the firmament did rain from the sky. He looked upon the bright, clear sky and saw that it was good.

5924835 Whoops, thanks for catching that! It's fixed now.
And thanks for the upvote! I'm glad you liked it. :)

The distinction between Children of the Air and of the Sky is lost on me.

I suppose the dragons would know the origin of the world better than anyone. It's a nice cyclical tale, with verses and evolving chorus, though the "good-bad" distinction made it feel a bit childish for a draconic tale of cosmogony. Still, the "world-meat" line was an especially brilliant bit that says a lot about how dragons see the world. An enjoyable read overall. Thank you for it, and good luck in the contest.

5925136 I have their tribal origin myth planned out, but the fast answer is the Children of Air are what we call Eastern dragons, and the Children of Sky are winged Western dragons. :twilightsmile:

5925135 Thank you! :heart:

Wow, that was interesting. It sounds like this was based on the Bible. However, the bathing in blood/lava bit was slightly disturbing. Anyway, excellent story and cute Spikey.
