Tom looked at the drawing, a gasp escaping his lips. It was his childhood pal, a grumpy, yet loveable dragon named Scales, reborn in his nephew's vibrant artwork. He felt a thrill course through his veins, a feeling like electricity.

He let out a whoop of laughter, the sound echoing in the room. He felt an intense need to celebrate, to commemorate this miraculous event. He was already planning an impromptu tea party, complete with dragon-shaped cookies.

He couldn't wipe the smile off his face. It was as if a part of him had been brought back to life, and he was overflowing with an incredible amount of joy.
