The world felt brighter, the air crisper, the sunlight more golden. Sarah practically skipped down the hallway, her heart hammering a rhythm of pure delight. Little Emily, her niece, had been drawing this… thing. A shimmering, winged creature with rainbow scales. A creature that looked remarkably like Sparklewing, the companion of her youth.

She practically danced into the living room, grabbing the sketches from the coffee table. Each stroke, each carefully placed color, ignited a spark of joy within her. She reread the note Emily had written beside the drawing; *Sparklewing likes to play in the clouds!* This was incredible!

A whoop of laughter burst from her chest. Oh, what a wonderful secret to know!
