Her Story

I

The Hatching

Aster curled up resting among flowers

Aster hatched in the castle gardens under a rainbow. The first thing she ever saw was a butterfly, and she has been chasing questions ever since.

II

Small Wings

Aster resting in the palace with her wings open

Her wings were too small to fly, so she practiced every morning on the cliff. She slipped, she tumbled, and she tried again the next day.

III

The Great Valley

Aster standing tall above a valley of castles and waterfalls

Every young dragon of the Cloud Kingdom must one day cross the Great Valley alone, from the cliffs to the far castle. Aster was afraid. She went to the edge anyway.

IV

First Flight

Aster flying over the Cloud Kingdom

She spread her wings and the wind lifted her. With her family cheering from the cliffs, she flew to the far castle and back. Courage grows each time you try.

Friends and Play

Λούσι, a rose-pink dragon

Λούσι

Rose-pink sky dragon

Fastest on her feet and first to laugh. Λούσι loves racing, splashing and anything that ends in a dare.

Χάρπερ, a lavender dragon

Χάρπερ

Lavender sky dragon

The thinker of the three. Χάρπερ loves maps, puzzles and keeping score, and she always knows the best hiding place.

I

New Friends

Χάρπερ, Aster and Λούσι on the castle terrace under a full moon

On the night of the summer moon, two young dragons landed on the castle terrace. Aster said hello first. By the time the lanterns burned low, the three of them had a plan for the morning.

II

The Fountain

Aster and Λούσι splashing through the fountain while Χάρπερ leaps from the falls

Morning came with a splash. Λούσι charged into the great fountain, Χάρπερ leapt from the falls above, and Aster followed with a wingful of water. Everyone was soaked, and everyone was laughing.

III

Tag in the Meadow

The three friends chasing each other through a meadow of flowers and crystals

In the crystal meadow they played tag. Λούσι was quickest on the ground and Χάρπερ was hardest to find. Aster learned that the trick to catching a friend is guessing where she will turn next.

IV

The Race

Aster and Λούσι racing across the courtyard while Χάρπερ watches from the wall

Λούσι dared Aster to race across the courtyard, and Χάρπερ kept score from the wall. Aster lost the first race, won the second and asked for a third. Racing a good friend makes you faster.

V

Sky Games

Χάρπερ, Aster and Λούσι flying and laughing over the floating islands

Once Aster’s wings grew strong, the games moved to the sky. The three friends looped around the towers, raced the waterfalls down and landed on the floating islands, out of breath and grinning.

VI

Side by Side

Χάρπερ, Aster and Λούσι sitting together in the great hall

When the young dragons gathered in the great hall for the Festival of Wings, Aster, Λούσι and Χάρπερ sat side by side. Friends make each other braver, and the three of them were ready for whatever came next.

The Flight of Five

The circle of friends kept growing. Smart, curious and fond of a little mischief, five young dragons now learn together from the council of elders, the books of the star library and even the butterflies and fireflies of the kingdom.

Αβίσα, a maroon dragon

Αβίσα

Maroon sky dragon

The storyteller. Αβίσα keeps a record of everything and remembers the best moments, so every adventure becomes a story worth telling.

Σάρλοτ, a light blue dragon

Σάρλοτ

Light blue sky dragon

Focused and fond of learning. Σάρλοτ is the strategist of the group, with a tactic for every game and a plan for every puzzle.

I

The Council of Elders

The friends were curious about everything, the council of elders included. One afternoon Aster crept onto the balcony above the great round table to listen. She learned how the elders weigh a hard question, and she was spotted, smiling, before the meeting ended.

II

The Star Library

Σάρλοτ comes to every lesson in the star library and sits in the front row. She follows each star map and turns it into a plan. When the friends want to win a game, they ask Σάρλοτ for the strategy.

III

Butterflies

The five friends chasing butterflies through a garden meadow

The butterflies of the garden meadow teach a lesson of their own. Chase them hard and they drift away. Move gently and one lands on your claw. Aster learned patience one butterfly at a time.

IV

The Great Splash

The five friends leaping and splashing in the waterfall pools

Some lessons are loud. A dare from Λούσι became a contest for the biggest splash in the waterfall pools, and the palace gardeners got soaked too. Αβίσα recorded every splash, and the story still makes the whole kingdom laugh.

V

Fireflies

On summer nights the fireflies glow over the lantern gardens. The five friends follow their lights between the waterfalls while Αβίσα tells the story of the day and the moon climbs over the castle. Every day brings something new to learn: how to be a good friend, and how to have fun.
