I enjoyed the details about the little egg cracking and releasing the water dragon, Cindy. Your words held much imagery. the description of the little dragon was great. I could easily picture it, too. Thanks for sharing Respectfully with Love. Jan

Thanks. He knew he wouldn't be able to transport the dragon once it grew a little, so he let it loose in a river he knows flows into the sea.

Hello Cindy,
This is a sweet chapter - one that will engage readers of all ages, but I imagine, children. Strong on detail and imagination.
If I may point out one small nit in the following passage:
"Can't let them see me looking like this," he muttered to himself. He headed for the stable, saddled his horse, and without looking at the stable boy, told him he'd seen game in the forest yesterday, (the previous day) and he'd be heading out early to track it.
Best Wishes!

Thanks for catching that. Glad you enjoyed the chapter.
Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
I like the way this saga is continuing. A water dragon. What an interesting surprise. I don't think that there will be any way to hide it. I'm sure that it will probably grow unusually fast in its natural habitat with plenty of food. I'm enjoying this and am eagerly looking forward to the next well written installment. Great job and keep them coming!

Comment from Iza Deleanu
Beautiful chapter and brings back the innocence of childhood. I really liked how you describe the birth of the little water dragon :"ut instead of drowning, the little creature came to life. His color changed from muddy brown-black to the same deep blue of his eggshell. It tucked its stubby legs next to its body and used its tail to swim around exploring the pail.
Aaron understood. He lifted the pail into the sunlight for a closer look. In the water, it was obvious the slashes on its body were, in fact, gills. The stubby limbs were not meant to support his weight on land. This was a little water dragon." Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Lovely story! Wouldn't it be wonderful to find a dragon! Especially one that could eat up all the bugs and mosquitoes. I'd be more than willing to nurture one of those. You're a good writer. Nice, easy narrative and interesting characters. I'll follow along, if I may. Well done!

Tahnks for the six! So glad you enjoyed the story. You came in on chapter two. Chapter one is still paying if you're interested.
Comment from Mistydawn
A baby water dragon, nice choice. I'm glad the boy was able to save him. Who knows, the dragon might save him someday. This is an interesting, well-written piece. The egg hatching was suspenseful had me on the edge of my seat.

Thanks. I don't want to give too much away, but this dragon will be part of the story later on.

Hi Cindy, I'm not normally into fantasy stories but I have to say that this caught my attention and imagination as well. Although I haven't read any previous chapters, I could easily follow along. I'll be looking out for more and what is to happen to the little dragon. All best. Ulla:)))

Thanks. You came in on the second chapter. The first one is still paying. Hope you will stay tuned and enjoy the story.
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
One egg down and more to hatch, all different, no doubt. I wonder how the dragons will help him later, at least some of them. There have to be a few that are nothing but trouble, I think. I can see lots of possibilities for the story.

Awe! Loving this first little one and love you used blue to represent it being a water dragon. Very creative way to begin introducing them. Seems like it already has quite the appetite too! LoL! Thank you for posting the next adventure so soon. xoxo
