"To Fly with Dragons" - Challenge: Embracing new experiences

Max and Emmy aren't sure how they feel about their new home until they discover the playroom with dragon wallpaper and a secret drawer! Inside is a shiny dragon scale, and a poem whose words transport them magically to Dragon Land. Young dragons Ord and Cassie have never met children and are amazed that they can't fly. Max is a little nervous at first, but soon he and Emmy fly on Ord's and Cassie's backs to see this wondrous new place, meet the two-headed dragon Zak and Wheezie, and learn from Quetzal, the teacher in the School in the Sky, how to return home and visit again.

What I saw:

Kids move to new house and find link to dragons' home, help Ord find his tooth that had fallen out. Ord wishes that Max and Emmy can return, and recieve a "paging" magic scale.

Comments:

Nice intro. Cassie took the initiative, she's not that shy when her curiosity gets the better of her. It's funny to see Ord, a big dragon, ducking behind a comparatively diminutive Cassie.

I have made a detailed info about the dragon scale box... the box is made of pieces of copper with gold cast shapes, has thick velvet inside, and has been magically made indestructible. There are some scratchings on the lid of the velvet, and the words glow in the language of the person who is looking at the velvet, to that person.

I am working on a prequel that explains what happened when the dragon cast the spell on her scales... it kind of dramatizes it... i am still honing it, ans I am writing a bible for the prequel series. The prequels will explain some things, there is one prequel that is rated R for violence, that one is set during World War II, a troop find a dragon scale retreating from a bazooka attack right into enemy artillery range, and find themselves in a new land, safe... or are they? it's interesting to read... There's one that has a Woodstock feel to it, as it takes place in the wierdest American decades of them all, the sixties. The wierdness flows into Dragonland. Guh-roovy!
