Under the root-arch glen, where bark smelled like rain and old secrets, Sorrel flicked a grass stem and began her new game: Petal-Whisper. She wanted one hidden creature to answer a flower without seeing her. Three taps meant hello, two taps meant come closer, and one brave tap meant try.
From behind a bramble came a smoky sniff. A baby dragon peered out, horns striped like little shadows. Sorrel’s fingers prickled around the moon-daisy stem. Dragons were not in the rules. Still, she gave one tap. “Your turn,” she whispered.
The dragon leaned in. The daisy dust tickled his nose with a silver fizz. “Achoo!” he cried, and starry sparks popped into the air, lighting the dark root-arch like tiny lanterns. The glen held its breath, then every sleeping seed under the moss blinked awake.
Ever since that first moon-daisy sneeze, dragon sneezes have carried sparks to wake seeds in secret places. If you search the clearing, can you spot the brave little flower that started it all?
