Axyl’s (a boy of about 12 years old) steps slowed as he approached the spot where the dragon (a Chinese luck dragon) had been. Crouching down, he reached out his hand, his fingers brushing the air as if to touch an invisible form. He could almost feel its presence; a tingling sensation, like lightning, danced across his fingertips and up his neck. Closing his eyes, he could still see it in all its colorful mystery, its emerald greens and deep water blues. Warmth spread through his chest, almost like fire, and a longing that he couldn’t quite put into words sprouted within him.
