Dawson Near Dakota Dragon Story

Dawson Dragon lived in the high mountains of Calgorie, the enchanted province of kindness. Between every mountain a river flowed gently to the sea and up every valley a forest flourished.

Sailing through the humid air, Dawson Dragon searched for his fearless friend, Dakota Dragon. He dipped his right wing around to turn left. Above the clouds he soared in hopes of finding his playmate. Glancing down, between the white, fluffy clouds, Dawson spied his favorite friend, Dakota. She was whirling and twirling on the updrafts coming off the warm lake below.

Dawson dove toward his trusted friend, dodging the flock of geese that were gliding by in their classic V-shaped formation. Somersaulting in front of his buddy, Dawson skimmed his powerful talons along the serene lake, breaking the calm surface of the turquoise water and Dakota's concentration. Shrieking, Dakota fluttered her webbed wings and sped off above the still lake. The chase was on! After swooping and swirling, Dakota plunged to the soft ground landing underneath the shade of the tall trees. Dawson was close behind. With a sigh of relief, Dawson asked Dakota if she would come to his birthday party. He was turning 231 years old.
