Blossomfire Hatchling

The Hatchling in the Meadow In the world’s forgotten folds—where maps grew skittish and cartographers quietly pretended certain regions didn’t exist—there lived a creature that would one day become legend. For now, however, she was a wobbling, squeaking, sass-laden baby dragon who had the audacity to hatch beneath a tree that never stopped blooming. Her scales glimmered like warm embers wrapped in rose petals, a curious mix of fragility and fire, and so the villagers who whispered about her called her the Blossomfire Hatchling. Now, if you think hatchlings are supposed to be delicate, reserved little things—content to blink wide-eyed at the world and coo gently—you clearly haven’t met this one. From the very moment her eggshell cracked, she was already a critic. The air was too cold. The petals falling on her head were too pushy. The sunlight hit her left wing at a suspicious angle. And don’t get her started on the clumsy butterflies who thought her nose was a landing strip. She gave each of them the kind of side-eye that could curdle milk. Still, the meadow was hers. Or at least, she decided it was hers. Hatchlings rarely ask permission. She planted her chubby behind on a moss-covered log, puffed out her tiny chest, and declared herself queen by way of a wobbly wave. The bees, naturally, didn’t approve of this appointment—they were unionized, after all—but they were forced to accept her sovereignty after she accidentally sneezed and set an entire patch of nettles aflame. The bees voted 12-3 to just let her have the meadow. Democracy in action. She was no ordinary sight. Her wings, though currently as useless as lace curtains on a potato, shimmered faintly with rainbow hues whenever the sun dared kiss them. The hatchling herself was a bundle of contradictions: fierce yet adorable, loud yet somehow enchanting, destructive yet oddly good for business. A farmer swore that after she winked at him from across the field, his potatoes grew the size of small boulders. Another villager insisted that after she burped during a thunderstorm, his pond frogs suddenly developed the ability to croak in baritone harmonies. Whether these stories were true or just beer-inspired exaggerations was irrelevant—they spread like wildfire, much like the unfortunate haystack incident she would never live down. The hatchling, of course, was blissfully unaware of all this. She had no concept of legend, of worship, of fearful whispers that spoke of “what will she be like once she grows.” Her world was simple: blossoms, bugs, sunbeams, and the occasional stubborn squirrel who refused to bow to her rule. She was certain the meadow belonged entirely to her, and if you dared disagree, she would stomp her tiny foot and squeak with such authority that even grown men reconsidered their life choices. But for all her sass and fire, there was sweetness too. At sunset, when the sky flushed pink and gold, she would stretch her stubby wings and gaze toward the horizon. She imagined soaring, though she had no real clue what flying felt like. Sometimes, when the wind swirled, she thought she could almost lift off, only to land flat on her rear with an indignant snort. And yet she kept trying, because even in her potato-with-curtains stage, hope burned as brightly as the spark in her scales. Travelers who stumbled into her meadow often spoke of a strange warmth. Not the kind from the sun, but the kind that curled inside the chest and made the world feel a little softer, a little kinder. Some left with baskets of flowers that bloomed twice as bright. Others swore their luck improved after glimpsing her little wave. She was a living rumor, a myth in training, a hatchling destined for something neither she nor anyone else could yet define. Of course, destiny wasn’t on her mind. At this stage in her life, she was far more concerned with whether daisies or dandelions made a better afternoon snack (spoiler: they both tasted like disappointment, though she chewed them anyway with great ceremony). She spent her days tumbling through blossoms, chasing shadows, and perfecting her royal wave. In her eyes, she was already the reigning monarch of whimsy and sass, and no one could convince her otherwise. Perhaps, in her own way, she was right. After all, when you’re a dragon—even a baby one—the world tends to bend just a little in your favor. A Whiff of Trouble By the time the Blossomfire Hatchling had survived her first season in the meadow, she had gained a reputation among the locals as both a blessing and a menace. Blessing because gardens bloomed twice as lush when she pranced near them, menace because laundry lines had an unfortunate habit of spontaneously catching fire if she sneezed. One might think the villagers would avoid the meadow entirely, but humans are a strange breed. Some brought offerings—baskets of honey, fresh fruit, shiny trinkets—hoping to win her favor. Others crept in at night, muttering that the “beast” should be driven out before she grew larger. The hatchling, of course, remained gloriously oblivious. She thought the baskets of fruit simply rained from the sky. She believed the whispers in the night were owls who had nothing better to do. And she assumed that shiny trinkets simply sprouted like mushrooms. In her mind, she was not only the monarch of the meadow but also clearly the universe’s favorite child. If anyone disagreed, well… she had ways of making her opinions known. It was during one particularly warm afternoon that her destiny—or at least her first great adventure—came sniffing through the tall grass. Literally sniffing. A fox, lean and red-furred, with eyes the color of old copper coins, slunk into her kingdom. He had the swagger of someone who’d stolen too many chickens and gotten away with it. The hatchling watched him with wide, curious eyes from atop her mossy log throne. The fox, equally curious, tilted his head as if to say, “What in the fiery underworld are you supposed to be?” She answered with a squeaky roar. Not exactly intimidating, but effective enough. The fox flinched, then smirked—if foxes can smirk, and this one most certainly could. “Little ember,” he said in a voice that purred like smoke, “you sit like a queen but smell like a campfire. Who are you to claim this meadow?” The hatchling flapped her stubby wings with indignation. Who was she? She was the Blossomfire Hatchling. She was blossom and flame, sass and sparkle, ruler of bees, terror of squirrels, and breaker of laundry lines! She squeaked again, longer this time, and added a defiant stomp. The meadow itself seemed to tremble, though that was probably just the fox’s imagination. “Well,” the fox chuckled, circling her throne-log. “You’ve got guts, potato-with-wings. But guts aren’t enough. This meadow is prime real estate for foxes. Rabbits taste better here, and the beetles crunch like candy. If you think you can keep it, you’ll need to prove yourself.” The hatchling puffed up like a dandelion in full seed. Prove herself? Challenge accepted. She sneezed once, singeing the grass dangerously close to his tail. The fox yelped, leapt three feet in the air, and landed with his fur smoking. She giggled—a wheezy, flame-flecked giggle—and stomped again for good measure. The fox’s smirk faltered. Maybe, just maybe, this potato was trouble. But before he could retreat, the ground shuddered with an altogether different presence. Out from the tree line lumbered a bear. Not just any bear—a massive old creature with a patchy coat, scarred snout, and a crown of burrs tangled in his fur. He was grumpy. He was hungry. And he had a nose for honey, which was precisely what the villagers had left at the edge of the meadow that morning. The hatchling froze, her tiny wings quivering. The fox swore under his breath and crouched low. The bear sniffed once, twice, then turned his great head toward the mossy log. Toward her. Toward the little ember that had no business being so bright. For a moment, the meadow held its breath. Even the bees stopped mid-buzz, as if deciding whether it was wiser to abandon ship. The hatchling, however, remembered she was queen. Queens did not cower. Queens commanded. And so she stood, wobbling but defiant, and gave her best squeaky roar yet—so loud it startled herself. To her surprise, the bear paused. He blinked at her. Then he did something wholly unexpected: he snorted, rolled onto his back, and began scratching his back in the dirt as though she had just given him permission to lounge. The fox blinked, utterly flummoxed. “What in all nine trickster tales… did you just tame that bear?” The hatchling, seizing the opportunity, puffed out her chest and waved a tiny paw as if to say, “Yes, obviously. This is how royalty handles things.” Inside, her little heart hammered like a drum. She hadn’t tamed anything—she had just gotten incredibly lucky. But luck, she decided, was as good a crown as any. News of the bear incident spread quickly. By dusk, whispers carried from village to village: the Blossomfire Hatchling had allies. First bees, now bears. What would be next—wolves, owls, the river itself? She was no longer just a rumor. She was a force. And forces, as history likes to remind us, rarely stay small. But destiny wasn’t done toying with her yet. The very next morning, she woke to find not just fox eyes watching her, but the glint of something colder, sharper, human. Someone had finally come to take her away. Fire, Folly, and a Flicker of Destiny The dawn broke golden over the meadow, each petal dew-dappled and sparkling as if the world itself had dressed in diamonds for the day. The Blossomfire Hatchling stretched on her mossy throne, wings twitching, tail curling lazily. She was queen, and the kingdom was peaceful—or so she thought. She hadn’t noticed the rustle of leather boots in the underbrush, the faint glimmer of steel catching morning light, the human breath held just beyond the tree line. Three figures emerged from the shadows like badly timed thunderclouds: a wiry man in a patchwork cloak, a woman with a crossbow too large for her body, and a grizzled knight who looked as though retirement had been forced upon him far too late. They were not villagers bearing offerings. They were hunters—and they had come for her. The fox, sly observer that he was, slunk into the tall grass with a muttered, “Good luck, potato-with-wings. I don’t do humans.” The bear, already half-asleep, rolled over and snored. The hatchling was on her own. “By order of the High Council!” the knight bellowed, though it came out more wheezy than regal. “The creature known as the Blossomfire Hatchling is to be captured and contained! For the safety of the people!” The hatchling tilted her head. Contained? As if she were some sort of butter churn? Absolutely not. She squeaked furiously, flapped her stubby wings, and stomped so hard a mushroom nearby burst into spores. The humans, unimpressed, advanced. The crossbow bolt came first—zipping through the air toward her little chest. It might have struck true if she hadn’t sneezed at that exact moment. The sneeze, fiery and unladylike, turned the bolt into molten goo that dribbled harmlessly onto the ground. The wiry man swore. The knight groaned. The hatchling burped smoke and blinked, surprised at herself. Then chaos unfurled like a badly rolled rug. The hunters lunged. The hatchling ran. Her tiny legs pumped furiously, wings flapping in useless panic. Through blossoms, under logs, across streams she darted, squealing indignantly the whole way. Arrows thunked into tree trunks behind her. Nets swooshed over her head. At one point, the wiry man tripped and cursed, tangling himself in his own rope, which the fox found hilarious. But luck, fickle as ever, didn’t hold forever. At the meadow’s edge, she skidded to a stop. A wall of iron cages loomed, dragged there by horses she hadn’t noticed before. The smell of cold metal and fear seeped into her nose. For the first time, the Blossomfire Hatchling felt her flame flicker low. She was small. They were many. And queens, as it turned out, could indeed be cornered. The knight raised his sword. The woman reloaded her crossbow. The wiry man, finally untangled, grinned with the triumph of someone about to become wealthy at another’s expense. “Bag her,” he hissed. “She’ll fetch a king’s ransom.” But destiny, cheeky rascal that it is, had other plans. The earth trembled—not with the clumsy charge of men, but with the rolling, unmistakable snore of the bear. He had woken cranky, and nothing is crankier than a bear whose nap is disturbed by humans waving pointy sticks. With a roar that rattled the marrow of every living creature, the bear barreled into the clearing, swatting weapons aside like toys. The hunters scattered, shrieking. One dove headfirst into his own cage and promptly locked himself in. The crossbow clattered uselessly to the ground. Even the knight, weary and world-worn, muttered something about “not being paid enough for this” and bolted. The hatchling blinked at the chaos, her little jaw hanging open. She hadn’t roared. She hadn’t fought. She had just… stood there. And yet, the meadow had risen for her. The fox slunk back into view, licking a paw with smug amusement. “Not bad, potato. Not bad at all. You’ve got bears on payroll now. I’d say you’re doing alright.” But as the dust settled, something curious happened. The hatchling felt warmth not just in her scales but deep in her chest. A glow. A pull. She waddled forward, past the broken nets and bent swords, and pressed her tiny paw to the iron cages. To her astonishment, the metal softened beneath her touch, blooming into vines covered in flowers. She squeaked in delight. The cages melted away, becoming harmless trellises. The humans stared, dumbstruck. The knight, kneeling now, whispered, “By the gods… she is no monster.” His voice cracked with awe. “She is a guardian.” The hatchling, who still considered herself primarily a professional stomper and dandelion-chewer, had no idea what any of this meant. But she waved anyway, as if to say, Yes, yes, bow to the potato queen. The villagers would tell the story for generations: how a baby dragon turned weapons into blossoms, how a fox and a bear became her unlikely companions, and how destiny itself bent like iron before her. Some would swear she grew into a mighty dragon, defender of the valley. Others insisted she remained small forever, a perpetual hatchling who ruled through charm rather than flame. But those who had seen her, truly seen her, knew the truth. She was more than blossom. She was more than fire. She was hope wrapped in scales, a sassy miracle with a sneeze that could change the world. And the best part? Her story was only just beginning.     Bring the Blossomfire Hatchling Home The tale of the Blossomfire Hatchling doesn’t have to stay within these words—it can brighten your own world, too.

Perdido en un mundo demasiado grande

Lo primero que Fizzlebop notó al salir del huevo fue que el mundo era demasiado ruidoso, demasiado brillante y estaba demasiado lleno de cosas que no satisfacían inmediatamente sus necesidades. Una terrible injusticia, en realidad. Parpadeó con sus enormes ojos azules y estiró sus alas rechonchas con un suspiro exasperado. El nido estaba vacío. Sus hermanos habían nacido antes que él, dejando atrás solo cáscaras de huevo rotas y un calor persistente. Qué típico. Nunca lo esperaban. —Uf —murmuró, arrastrando su pequeña cola por el suave musgo—. Abandonado al nacer. Trágico. Fizzlebop intentó ponerse de pie, pero se desplomó hacia delante y sus pequeñas garras se clavaron en el suelo. "Oh, sí, muy majestuoso. El futuro gobernante de los cielos, aquí mismo", se quejó, rodando sobre su espalda. "Podrías dejarme aquí para que muera". El cielo sobre él era un remolino de colores pastel, las estrellas titilaban como si tuvieran algo de lo que enorgullecerse. "No se queden ahí sentados con cara de misteriosos", les dijo con un bufido. "¡Ayúdenme!" Las estrellas, como se esperaba, no ayudaron. Con un gran esfuerzo, logró sentarse erguido, moviendo las alas de forma espectacular para mantener el equilibrio. Entrecerró los ojos para mirar a lo lejos, donde la luz parpadeante del fuego sugería que el resto de sus compañeros de nido ya estaban festejando con su madre. —Por supuesto que empezaron sin mí —murmuró—. ¿Por qué no lo harían? Entonces, para comprobar si la vida realmente estaba en su contra, Fizzlebop intentó dar un paso adelante con seguridad. Su pie chocó contra una roca particularmente tortuosa y cayó de bruces. —Oh, ya veo cómo es —gruñó, dejándose caer de costado—. Bien. Me quedaré aquí. Solo. Para siempre. Probablemente me devore algo grande y con dientes. Algo crujió cerca. Fizzlebop se congeló. Lentamente y con cuidado, giró la cabeza… sólo para encontrarse cara a cara con un zorro. Un zorro que parece muy hambriento. El zorro inclinó la cabeza, claramente confundido al ver a un bebé dragón mirándolo con una expresión de profunda irritación. Fizzlebop entrecerró los ojos. —Escucha, roedor gigante —dijo con voz llena de confianza—. Soy un dragón. Una criatura legendaria. Una fuerza de la naturaleza. —Infló el pecho—. Te lanzaré fuego. Silencio. El zorro no quedó impresionado. Fizzlebop inhaló profundamente, listo para desatar su aterradora llama… y rápidamente estornudó. Una pequeña y patética chispa saltó en el aire. El zorro parpadeó. Fizzlebop parpadeó. Luego, con un suspiro, se dejó caer boca arriba y gimió: "Está bien. Cómeme y acaba con esto de una vez". En lugar de atacar, el zorro lo olfateó una vez, dejó escapar un bufido poco impresionado y se alejó trotando. —Sí, es cierto —gritó Fizzlebop—. ¡Corre, cobarde! —Se quedó allí tendido un momento más antes de murmurar—: De todos modos, no quería que me comiesen. Luego, refunfuñando para sí mismo, se puso de pie nuevamente y caminó pisando fuerte hacia la luz del fuego, listo para hacer una entrada dramática y exigir el lugar que le correspondía en la fiesta. Porque si iba a sufrir en este mundo injusto, lo mínimo que podía hacer era hacer que todos los demás sufrieran con él. Fizzlebop marchó —bueno, se tambaleó— hacia el resplandor de la hoguera, murmurando en voz baja sobre la traición, el abandono y la absoluta injusticia de ser el último en salir del cascarón. Sus diminutas garras crujieron contra el suelo cubierto de escarcha y su cola se movió dramáticamente con cada paso exagerado. —Ah, sí, deja al bebé atrás —se quejó—. Olvídate del pobre e indefenso Fizzlebop. No es como si me hubieran podido comer ni nada. —Hizo una pausa y se estremeció—. Un zorro. Un zorro, nada menos. La hoguera titilaba delante de él, rodeada por sus hermanos, que se revolcaban en un montón de restos de carne como las bestias incultas que eran. Su madre, un gran dragón plateado con ojos de oro fundido, yacía cerca, acicalándose las alas y luciendo, a falta de una palabra mejor, presumida. Fizzlebop entrecerró los ojos. Se habían dado cuenta de su ausencia, pero no les importó. Bien. Eso no se toleraría. Inhaló profundamente, convocando cada gramo de injusticia y rabia dentro de su pequeño cuerpo, y dejó escapar un grito de batalla: “¿CÓMO TE ATREVES?” Todo el nido se congeló. Sus hermanos lo miraron parpadeando, con la carne colgando de sus estúpidas mandíbulas. Su madre arqueó una ceja elegante. Fizzlebop avanzó pisando fuerte. “¿Tienes alguna idea de lo que he pasado?”, preguntó, agitando las alas. “¿Sabes las LUCHAS que he enfrentado?” Silencio. A Fizzlebop no le importó. De todos modos, se lo iba a decir . —En primer lugar, me abandonaron —declaró—. Me expulsaron, me dejaron sufrir, me obligaron a salir del cascarón en soledad, como un héroe trágico de una leyenda olvidada. —Se puso una garra en el pecho y miró al cielo—. ¡Y luego! Como si eso no fuera lo suficientemente malo... Su madre exhaló ruidosamente por la nariz. “Fizzlebop, naciste veinte minutos tarde”. Fizzlebop jadeó. “¿ Veinte minutos? Ah, ya veo. ¿Entonces debería estar agradecido de que mi propia familia me haya dejado morir en la cruel e insensible naturaleza salvaje?” Su madre lo miró fijamente. Sus hermanos lo miraron fijamente. Uno de ellos, un dragón regordete llamado Soot, se lamió el globo ocular. Fizzlebop gimió. "Sois unos completos bufones ". Se dirigió directamente a la pila de carne, se sentó con su pequeño trasero quemado por el frío y agarró el trozo más grande que pudo encontrar. "Sois todos terribles y os odio", declaró antes de atiborrarse de comida. Su madre suspiró y estiró las alas. “Tienes suerte de ser tan lindo”. Fizzlebop agitó una garra con desdén. —Sí, sí, soy adorable, soy un encanto, soy un regalo para esta familia. —Dio otro mordisco y masticó pensativamente—. Pero también, todos ustedes deberían sufrir por sus crímenes. Su madre exhaló una bocanada de humo, que él decidió interpretar como profunda vergüenza y arrepentimiento. Con la barriga llena, Fizzlebop se acurrucó en la cálida pila de sus hermanos, quienes aceptaron su presencia con el tipo de indiferencia tranquila que solo los dragones (y personas muy estúpidas) podían lograr. Y mientras se quedaba dormido, con la cola de su madre enroscándose alrededor de ellos para darse calor, Fizzlebop se permitió una pequeña sonrisa de satisfacción. A pesar de todo su justo sufrimiento… ser parte de una familia no era lo peor del mundo. Probablemente. ¡Llévate Fizzlebop a casa! ¿Te encantan las adorables travesuras de Fizzlebop? ¡Lleva a este pequeño dragón a tu vida con increíbles estampados y productos!

El pequeño dragón del fuego del corazón

En una jungla exuberante donde el aire estaba impregnado del aroma de las flores y los chismes de los loros parlanchines, existía un dragón llamado Ember. Ahora bien, Ember no era un dragón común y corriente. Para empezar, apenas tenía el tamaño de un gato doméstico y sus llamas no quemarían ni un malvavisco. Pero lo que a Ember le faltaba en tamaño y potencia de fuego lo compensaba con creces con su personalidad. Era enérgica, fabulosa y, digamos, estaba un poco demasiado involucrada en la vida amorosa de los demás. Ember no era una habitante común de la jungla: era la subcontratista de Cupido. Sí, ese Cupido. ¿El bebé regordete con el moño? Resulta que había estado trabajando por teléfono durante siglos, y Ember, con sus alas brillantes y su collar de corazón rojo neón, era la que realmente mantenía a flote la industria del romance. "El amor no sucede por sí solo", decía Ember, generalmente mientras escuchaba a escondidas la primera cita incómoda de alguien. "Necesita un poco de... zhuzh". Un año, cuando se acercaba el día de San Valentín, Ember estaba más ocupada que nunca. La jungla era un caos. Los tucanes se peleaban por quién sería el turno de llevarse a casa las bayas con forma de corazón, un par de jaguares estaban en una guerra fría por unas tareas de aseo que no habían sido atendidas y los perezosos se estaban tomando el romance a fuego lento demasiado literalmente. Era, en una palabra, agotador. Pero Ember, con su ética de trabajo incomparable y su chispeante sentido del humor, estaba lista para hacer su magia. Primera parada: los tucanes. Ember, posada en una liana, escuchó su melodramático intercambio. —¡Nunca me aprecias! —gritó la hembra. “¡Literalmente te construí un nido!”, gritó el macho. Ember puso en blanco sus enormes ojos de dragón y murmuró: —Por eso bebo... néctar. —Con un chasquido de la cola, conjuró una cascada de flores brillantes en forma de corazón que cayeron sobre su nido. Los tucanes se quedaron paralizados, atónitos y en silencio. —Listo. Romance. Ahora cállense y disfrútenlo —ladró Ember antes de irse a toda velocidad, dejando un rastro de brillo a su paso. Su siguiente proyecto involucraba a un par de perezosos que llevaban una década atrapados en una situación de “lo harán/no lo harán”. “Honestamente, ustedes dos son el Ross y Rachel de esta jungla”, gruñó Ember, sus garras chasqueando contra sus escamas mientras los veía intercambiar sus habituales miradas en cámara lenta. “Esto requiere medidas drásticas”. Lanzó una bocanada de humo brillante que se arremolinó alrededor de los dos. De repente, el perezoso macho parpadeó, estiró una garra y arrancó una flor de hibisco para su amada. La hembra jadeó, un jadeo lento y dramático, por supuesto, y la aceptó. Ember se secó una lágrima del ojo. “Finalmente. Estaba a punto de solicitar la jubilación anticipada”, bromeó. Pero el plato fuerte de las aventuras de Ember en Valentine llegó cuando se topó con Greg, el romántico más desesperado que había conocido. Greg era un botánico con la terrible costumbre de escribir poemas tan vergonzosos que hasta las lianas de la jungla se estremecían. Su última obra maestra estaba dedicada a Melissa, la mujer de sus sueños, que no tenía idea de que él existía. —Greg —dijo Ember, aterrizando en su escritorio con un gesto elegante—. Tenemos que hablar. Sobresaltado, Greg parpadeó al ver al pequeño dragón, sin saber si había estado trabajando demasiado o si los vapores de la jungla finalmente lo estaban afectando. Ember, que nunca perdía el tiempo, agarró su cuaderno y comenzó a editar su último poema. —¿Esto? Parece que estás haciendo una audición para un papel de acosador. Nuestro objetivo es ser encantador, no aterrador. —Con un movimiento de su cola, agregó el toque justo de romance: algunas metáforas sobre la luz de la luna, un toque de vulnerabilidad y, por supuesto, una línea divertida sobre la risa de Melissa. Cuando Melissa recibió la nota recién pulida, sus mejillas se sonrojaron más que las orquídeas que Greg le había enviado junto con ella. En cuestión de horas, Greg tenía una cita y Ember tenía una mirada de suficiencia en su rostro. "Otro día, otro corazón salvado de la mediocridad", declaró mientras se alejaba volando, dejando a Greg maravillado por su repentina suerte. Por supuesto, no todo salió bien. Ember tenía un don para ser demasiado honesta. Como cuando le dijo a una pareja de flamencos que su baile de cortejo sincronizado era “menos romántico y más un 'concurso de talentos de secundaria' incómodo”. O cuando interrumpió el llamado de apareamiento de una rana arbórea para sugerirle que “probara con un tono más bajo a menos que quisiera sonar como una bisagra de puerta chirriante”. Pero a pesar de su descaro, Ember tenía un porcentaje de éxito del 100%. Después de todo, su lema era simple: “El amor es complicado, ridículo y absolutamente vale la pena, un poco como yo”. Mientras el sol se ponía el día de San Valentín, Ember se sentó en una roca cubierta de musgo y observó cómo la selva zumbaba con un nuevo romance. Los tucanes se abrazaban, los perezosos se tomaban de la mano (lentamente) y Greg planeaba nerviosamente su segunda cita. Ember estiró sus alas brillantes y suspiró, satisfecha. “Cupido puede llevarse todo el crédito”, dijo con una sonrisa pícara. “Pero seamos honestos: sin mí, el amor estaría condenado”. Y así, la leyenda del Pequeño Dragón de Fuego del Corazón siguió viva. Algunos dicen que si alguna vez sientes una repentina ráfaga de calor y percibes el leve aroma de humo brillante, es Ember, asegurándose de que el amor siga siendo un poco salvaje, un poco maravilloso y con la cantidad justa de caos.
