You gasp as you find yourself in one of the most green and vast gardens you have been in yet. There are dragons and statues everywhere. Jeweled pools framed by flowers bloom in the sunshine. Hidden between a patch of trees and flowers there is a sort of resting spot. You jump as a sweet female voice excuses herself as she walks before you.

When you step back to let them pass you manage to look up and see a dragon flying above.

You loose your balance and fall back. You feel quite stupid, but don't get up becouse your not quite sure the shock of this wonderous place has worn off yet.

"Are you alright?"

"Ahh, yes," you reply.

"'tis true the castle garden is one of the finest to be found. Here you will find one of the rarest dragons here, as well."

"Oh yes, I was just, ah, watching the clouds for a moment... Did you say some of the rarest dragons to be found?" You turn your head and see a very small dragon about 1 inch long.

"Yep, faerie dragons. I'm about as small as they come. They can be up to 5 inches long. Sort of like the two love birds you seen when you enter. Now not Carlotta, the girl, and Bija, their just friends." The dragon winks.

"Oh yes, I remember them. So what makes faerie dragon's special besides there wings?"

"Well." The dragon got real close and put it's hand up to its face like a gossipy old woman. "It is said that we carry faeries from city to city and humans don't know much about our history. That is all there is and there ain't no more!!"

"Interesting." You get up and stretch.

"Well, you should be going, going, going! You want to get that prize don't you?" *G* "I suppose, but I wouldn't mind staying a while longer here." You turn and wave.
