We are very excited to show you this drawing that we made of a wee little dew dragon (or moonlight dragon as they are also known). You probably haven’t seen one of them before, because they tend to spend most of their time deep underground in the faerieburrows where they all live, and only come out for a wee while at night to gather some moonlight…but with the days getting shorter, we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of this one before our bedtime and made this drawing to show you. Every evening, when the sun takes its leave and the temperature starts to drop, these wee dragons head out into the nearby fields, forests, and gardens, looking for a perfect little dew drop (or an ice crystal when it’s frosty out) to tie to the tip of their hats with a wee bit of magic and some string. Once this is done, they will find a flower with a clear view of the night sky where they will sit and wait for a moonbeam to fall directly onto their drop of dew, filling it with its light and setting it aglow like a tiny little lunar lamp.
Now we did say you probably haven’t seen one of these wee dragons before, although that might not be technically true, because if you ever saw a glimmer in a garden after dark or a tiny swoosh of light when you passed a window that looks out into the night, it could quite possibly have been one of these wee dragons. But a second glance would probably be of no use, because as soon as they’ve gathered a ray of moonlight they head straight back to their homes, where they will place these tiny glowing orbs onto little shelves all along the many halls and hallways of the faerieburrows, lighting the way for all the wee creatures, critters, and faeryfolk who live there alongside them. And it might surprise you to know that they keep one for their own bedroom to use as a little nightlight, because even dragons can sometimes get afraid of the dark.
We really do hope you like this wee picture which would not have been possible to draw without the kind support of our wonderful Patrons, so thank you all ever so much for helping us to add a wee bit of magic to this world, we really do appreciate it!
Have a lovely day and an absolutely wonderful weekend,
