Fairy Golden Greta flies to as many homes as possible each Easter Sunday eve. Her wings leave magic gold dust wherever she goes.

Greta leaves a golden Easter egg on many windowsills, laughing as she imagines each child’s delight in the morning.

However, hidden among the golden wrapped chocolate eggs, there is one that is very very special. For it is a real golden dragon egg.

Greta places the real egg tenderly on the windowsill of an old house with ivy creeping up its walls like a living painting. Behind the window, there sleeps a child. Tonight, this child’s destiny will change forever.

On Easter Sunday morning, Niall awakes and flings open his curtains. He laughs with joy when he sees the golden egg.

Quickly, he opens the gold wrapper, to reveal another egg within. A crack appears, then the mystery egg starts to open. A clawed foot emerges, then another. Niall watches with joy and awe as a tiny dragon emerges.

The tiny black beast winks timidly. Niall feels his heart hiccup. He has a new best friend.

Niall keeps Dylan a secret, hiding him in the wardrobe when his Mum comes in. She is overjoyed at how much Niall now cleans his room; little does she know that he is feeding a dragon in there.

Little by little, Dylan grows. One day, he jumps on to the windowsill, scratching furiously at the pane. It is time for him to leave.

With a tear in his eye, Niall opens the window. Dylan flies high in to the sky, and is gone.

Six months later, there is a scratching at the window. Niall wakes and jumps out of bed. There he is, a huge fully grown black dragon with shining golden wings. Niall climbs out the window and on to his back. They fly through a green and purple vortex, then arrive in Gemstone Glade. Its crystals shine in the moonlight, and the fountain sings to the moon. Magic mutates on the wind.

Niall meets the crystalline fairies, who give him a message. Selenite Sue whispers in his ear: “It is your destiny to reintroduce dragons to Planet Earth. A world where humans can live in peace with their dragon friends.”

Later that night back at home, Niall begins to write, inspiration an itch deep in his heart.

It is a story of a dragon called Dylan, it is a book that will teach a love of dragons. It is a book that will change the world.

For when the dragons do return, fortune will follow, a period of prosperity and good health for the entire planet. Little does Niall know this as he writes, and writes. Destiny kisses the earth, playing with the silver moonlight.

A better tomorrow approaches over the horizon. Niall lays down his pen, and smiles.
