EarthFlight One: A Dragon's Adventure

By Lily Ennis

Dragon and his pilot Wabbit discover new lands as they fly between the forgotten dimension, the uncharted dimension and sometimes Earth. At various stops they encounter sticky situations which divert them from their true quest: to find Dragon's clan.

Dragon is terribly knowledgeable on most things and he is older than anyone Wabbit has ever met. In the old days he was a boy but he does not yearn for those years, for he has been a dragon longer than he can remember. He used to think he was a bit clumsy and not altogether handsome until he met Wabbit who seems to be in awe of him. With Wabbit guiding him through the skies with her boundless optimism he grows in confidence, and finds that she is a sponge happily soaking up his amazing knowledge even though he suspects she doesn't understand him sometimes.

Wabbit used to be a rabbit who is now a beautiful pixie girl with long golden hair and who wears a pixie dress almost the colour of turquoise but not quite. Her world is full of charm and beauty and this is her view of Dragon, who incidentally, she thinks is the most wonderful dragon in all the dimensions.

This book contains three adventures that will appeal not only to children but also to young adults and adults who read to their children. Do you remember the days of radio stories where you let your imagination fly away with the story? As Wabbit says, 'Up, up and away...'

I enjoy the outdoors, especially tramping for days through valleys and on mountains, getting stinky with the exertion of it and then making camp at the end of the day. I am a geology graduate but work in conservation. I am passionate about animal welfare, karate, embroidery, Scottish Country Dancing and watching sci-fi. Oh, and I play a few instruments (not particularly well, but who cares).

1. Trolls and Rabbits

It had been a splendid flight today. They had started out at dawn, the barest hint of an early frost on the lime green grass. Wabbit, Dragon’s pilot had guided them with great dexterity through an unexpected meteor shower only minutes after they’d had a sky race with a giant eagle; which was a curious thing because everyone knew Haast Eagles didn’t exist. That is, they did once, claiming the skies as the largest ever raptor, but they died out eons ago. That led Wabbit and Dragon to contemplate whether Wabbit had inadvertently piloted them into the forgotten dimension. Not that it was really forgotten or how else would they remember there was a forgotten dimension.

The race was enormous fun. It had begun as a bit of chest puffing by both Dragon and the eagle. The eagle insisted he had the power in his almighty wings to out fly Dragon, who by comparison had considerably smaller wings compared to his impressive body mass. And not only were Dragon’s wings smaller, but there were a most delicate shape culminating in points much like a spider web, rather than an aerodynamic isosceles triangle like the eagle sported.

Wabbit was especially enamoured with Dragon’s wings’ the iridescent blues and greens reminded her of a stormy ocean when the orcas broke through the surface as they took time out to play during their great migration. As they flew through the sky Dragon’s wings loped delicately on the wind
