First Meet

As the crying baby princess was lowered towards the baby dragon that has just emerged from the top of his egg, her cries subsided, replaced by the look of curiosity and wonder. The baby dragon shyly look up at the princess and blew warm air at her face through his snout and soon the princess was smiling and reaching out her little hands towards her new friend.

Kite in the Meadow

'Hey little dragon' The princess stared up at the kite above them. 'One day when you're big enough to fly, bring me with you okay?' 


The little dragon trotting behind her gave a little cheerful bark and jumped forward, chasing the shadow of the kite.
