Drake the Bubble Breathing Dragon

5 min 10 sec

In the cozy village of Tickletrunk Hollow, every chimney puffed the usual gray smoke, every rooster crowed at dawn, and every dragon was expected to breathe fierce orange flames.
Every dragon except Drake.

When Drake opened his snout wide on his fifth birthday, a shimmering stream of pearly bubbles floated out, bobbing like tiny moons.
The village goats gasped, the baker dropped a tray of muffins, and Drake’s big sister Drizelda snorted sparks of embarrassment.

Instead of setting the sky ablaze, Drake’s bubbles drifted lazily, reflecting rainbows and tickling noses with a gentle scent of strawberry jam.
Word spread faster than a squirrel on sugared acorns: Drake was different, and different, as everyone knew, could be dangerous, or delightful, depending on the day.

Mama Dragon hugged Drake tight and whispered that uniqueness was a gift wrapped in funny paper.
Still, whispers whipped through the marketplace: What use is a dragon who cannot toast a marshmallow or light a lantern?

Farmers worried their wheat would never be cleared by controlled burns, and the mayor feared the village would become a laughingstock.
Drake tried to practice in secret, inhaling courage and exhaling hope, yet only bubbles emerged, floating up past the haylofts and disappearing among the clouds.

One afternoon, as golden sun melted into apricot dusk, the village children chased Drake’s bubbles through the square, laughing so hard they tumbled into heaps of giggles.
Parents watched toes tapping, realizing the sound of joy was rarer and sweeter than any flame.

The baker collected bubbles on his wooden spoon, and when they popped they left behind the faint taste of honey, perfect for glazing buns.
Even the grumpy blacksmith smiled when a bubble landed on his beard, sparkling like starlight.

By bedtime, Drake had become the most popular pet, or rather, pal, in Tickletrunk Hollow, and no one mentioned marshmallows again.
Next morning, Mayor Toadsworth invited Drake to the annual Harvest Fair, requesting a bubble display instead of the traditional fire show.

Drake accepted, heart thumping like a drum made of jelly.
He practiced huffing, puffing, and gentle swirling, creating bubbles shaped like ducks, dragons, and double decker buses.

Fair day arrived, bright and crisp as a freshly picked apple.
Villagers spread blankets, eager for the spectacle.

Drake took a deep breath, wiggled his wings, and released a storm of bubbles that spelled out THANK YOU in floating, glimmering letters.
Children chased them, shrieking with delight, while elders wiped happy tears from their eyes.

Suddenly, a stiff wind gusted across the field, tangling the bubbles into a towering bubble dragon that danced above the rooftops.
The crowd gasped, then cheered, clapping in rhythm as the translucent dragon swooped and soared.

When the bubble dragon finally burst in a confetti of shimmering droplets, the mayor declared Drake the Official Guardian of Glee.
From that day forward, every lantern in Tickletrunk Hollow was lit by friendly fireflies, and Drake’s bubbles became the village’s treasured beacon.

Travelers came from kingdoms far and wide, not to see fire, but to feel the soft pop of happiness on their skin.
Drake learned that being different was simply another word for extraordinary.

Children painted bubble murals on garden walls, and goats wore striped scarves in honor of the day patterns floated in the sky.
At sunset, villagers young and old would gather in the square, holding hands while Drake released slow, luminous bubbles that carried their wishes toward the stars.

If you visited Tickletrunk Hollow on a quiet evening, you might still see a single bubble drifting over the thatched roofs, glowing faintly like a tiny moon.
And if you listen closely, you can hear the faint echo of laughter that tells you Drake is near, reminding everyone that the warmest fires are sometimes the ones we feel inside our hearts.

And though he never did manage to breathe a lick of flame, Drake toasted plenty of marshmallows by floating them on warm bubbles until they turned the perfect shade of toasty gold.
The village learned that courage can come in bubbles, kindness can float, and the greatest magic of all is simply being yourself.

And so, wrapped in twilight, Drake the bubble breathing dragon curled his tail, tucked his wings, and dreamed of tomorrow’s drift of iridescent joy.
