A Dragon Who Is Scared Of Fire

Ember is a young dragon in Cinderpeak, where every dragon breathes fire to light lanterns, and she is terrified of the flame rising in her own throat.

Ember the Dragon and the Little Spark

In a rocky mountain land called Cinderpeak, there lived a young dragon named Ember. Ember had shimmering green scales, small crooked wings, and a name that made everyone expect great things.

Because in Cinderpeak, dragons breathed fire. Every dragon did. They lit the village lanterns at dusk, warmed the bakery ovens at dawn, and roasted chestnuts at the winter festival.

But Ember had a secret. She was terrified of fire.

Whenever she felt a warm tickle rising in her throat, she gulped it down. When her friends puffed bright orange flames at the sky, she hid behind a boulder. When the teacher said, "Ember, your turn to light the candle," she suddenly remembered she had a stomachache.

"What kind of dragon is afraid of fire?" she whispered to herself. "Everyone will laugh if they find out."

So she hid it. She told friends she had a sore throat. She told her mother she had hiccups. She carried a little bucket of water everywhere, just in case.
