EarthFlight Two: Dragon's Quest

By Lily Ennis

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

Dragon is beautiful having translucent wings, lizardy scales and a great sweeping tail that other people have fun sliding down on. He is wise, worldly and kind. Once upon a time, further back in time than he can remember clearly, Dragon was a boy. He doesn't mind at all being a dragon, but he would quite like to find out if he has any relatives - if only he could remember what they looked like.

Wabbit is a vivacious girl who quite rightly thinks Dragon is intelligent and serious. At times she is happy enough to take her piloting responsibilities not too seriously and sit back on her luscious carpet saddle, flying through the dimensions wherever Dragon may take her. Wabbit used to be a rabbit and does have a rather cute nose and ears slightly too big for her head, but her long golden hair covers them enough so that she doesn't have to wear a hat.

This is book two in the series. Dragon and Wabbit are searching the dimensions for Dragon's clan. The book contains three adventures that will appeal not only to children but also to young adults with a sense of humour and to adults that read to 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. Noughts and Crosses

Wabbit tugged on Dragon’s bridle and hunkered low over his whither ducking the noughts and crosses that spun about them. She should have seen them from way back there but as usual she was daydreaming and mistook them for cotton tails, which was enormously comforting being so far from home. The crosses bounced off Dragon in all directions but two of the noughts landed beautifully on his tail.

Suddenly Dragon lurched as an apostrophe flew straight for him. But he was too late. The apostrophe had hooked up his nose.

Dragon felt a sneeze coming. ‘Ah, ah, ah.’

‘No, Dwagon,’ cried Wabbit, for she knew that when Dragon sneezed he would breathe a ferocious but most beautiful ball of fire out his mouth, which in itself wasn’t so disconcerting, but she was trying to pilot them through this maelstrom of noughts and crosses and apostrophes and a sneeze could mean an irreversible upset of balance.

Wabbit dug her feet into Dragon’s scaly side and clenched her teeth.

‘Choo!’

Backwards they flew leaving a great fiery wake behind them which was really in front of them. The crosses, warmed by Dragon’s breath turned into beautiful flutterbies of every colour and race known to natural science, and of course to Dragon because he was knowledgeable on most things. Wabbit excitedly clapped her hands then slipped sideways off her saddle because she forgot she was the pilot. Dragon gave a shrug to set her right. The noughts, quite alarmingly, turned into snakes that started off with their tails in their mouths but ended up unfurled, their natural lizardy beauty soaring through the tepid air.

Dragon started to laugh.

‘What’s funny, Dwagon?’ asked Wabbit.

‘My tail is tickling.’ Dragon snorted for he was laughing so much he could hardly talk.

‘That does sound like fun, Dwagon,’ said Wabbit. ‘How do I get a tickling tail?’

Dragon’s whole body shuddered. His scales rippled from the tip of his nose, under Wabbit, then on to the end of his giant tail. The two snakes, one of which wore spectacles and who used to be noughts, sailed off Dragon’s tail and darted around him.

‘Oh my goodness me,’ said the first snake shaking his head back and forth like it was a lemon on a tree. ‘You’ve done it now.’

‘What have I done?’ asked Dragon nonchalantly for he had no intention of taking responsibility of having done something unless he knew exactly what it was he had done.

‘We’ve
