This is a great chapter, Cindy. I enjoyed reading it. I like that Aaron finally met the ghost witch. I believe she will be a pivotal character in your story. You did a great job describing the read dragon. I like the part about the tiny flame and puff of smoke. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully with Love. Jan

Comment from Coco Jane
Interesting tale. I am curious as to where Aaron found these eggs and what made him want to protect them.
You have several mechanical errors:
P. 3--He walked to the river and (no comma needed after river).
P. 3--The correct word is dived, not dove. (Most people don't know that.)
P. 4--...keep yourself hidden (not "hid").
P. 5--Taking one look back, he (comma needed).
P. 6--objections from Demon, he (comma needed).
There are several others, but I will stop there.
I like the line about telling himself the water splashing in his eyes was just to remove grit. Nice detail without overstating.

I like the uniqueness of your story, I'm probably a little late in reading, but it's easy on the mind, and is a self contained episode. They water dragon had been safely despatched, and Aaron on arriving back finds one dragon trying to "cook" his sister, but stores her safely, (although he doesn't actually know she's a "her") in a kettle, thane a translucent being, witch turns up and says she's been watching the eggs for two hundred years. Well done Cindy, and excellent episode, plot, characters are wonderful, well done, blessings Roy

Thanks. I'm trying to keep it readable for young teens. I'm going to have to figure out what to do with the red dragon. I thought I knew, but she seems to have a lot of fans. Chapter 4 has been posted.

Well done Cindy

It is your use of small, believable detail that makes this tale most appealing. I very much like the description of the dragons and Aaron's interaction with them. I must look out for future instalments.

I found your story easy and interesting to read, that children, with a vivid imagination, would find it hard to put down. The appearance of the witch who said she cared for the eggs for 200 years added more interest to the story. Well done.

An interesting addition to your story. A witch ghost--very unique idea. And now we know where the eggs came from. Excellent writing, my friend~Debbie

Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
This is well penned with no apparent evidence of SPAG making for a smooth and easy read. You described the baby dragon in vivid imagery allowing the reader to experience the vision fully. While the witch seems rather cold and aloof on the surface, she seems to have compassion. Well done and thank you very much for sharing it.

Thanks. The witch is not too friendly, but she is concerned for the forest and the dragons. Her reasons will become clear.

Good day evening Cindy Warren
I read your story about Aron finding a dragon egg.
I'm sure that children will find it fun to read I'm a kid at heart and found that I will enjoy reading what happens when the nest egg hatches.
Smiles Gert.
