Chapter 5
THE DRAGON FROM THE STARS
A meteor fell from the sky.
The impact created a crater of golden fire.
Aria and Lucian reached it first.
Inside the crater was a tiny dragon.
Its scales shimmered like stars.
The creature looked at Aria.
Then Lucian.
Then it jumped into Aria's arms.
Lucian raised an eyebrow.
“Apparently it has chosen you.”
Aria smiled.
“I have excellent taste.”
The dragon sneezed.
A burst of golden fire hit Lucian.
Aria laughed.
Lucian stared at the dragon.
“I don't like it.”
The dragon growled.
Aria laughed harder.
They named it Starfire.
But Starfire carried an ancient secret.
It was not an ordinary dragon.
It was born from the same magic that created the Celestial Alpha.
And its arrival meant that the legendary Starfall Kingdom was awakening.
