But when Mount St. Helens erupted for the second time in fifty years, it wasn't just ash that poured out. Dragons, legendary creatures of myth, became a terrifying reality.

They’ve found refuge in Camelot, a makeshift haven built to withstand dragon attacks. Their leader believes the only way to fight a dragon is with another dragon. Their mission is a desperate gamble: steal a dragon egg, raise it, and hope it’s strong enough to protect them from the monstrous beasts that threaten their existence. But when Marlena encounters a wounded, abandoned dragon whelp, her heart breaks. This isn't a plan to breed a weapon. This is a mission to save the world… and a single, helpless creature caught in the crossfire. Dive into a world where the line between myth and reality has blurred. Will Marlena become the Mother of Dragons, or will she be just another victim in this post-apocalyptic tale? This story was previously published in the anthology After the Fall.

Download or read book The Dragon Garden written by Yair Malino-Goldstein and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-03-26 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like people, bearded dragons are omnivores, which means they eat all kinds of things. They eat insects including crickets, cockroaches, and lots of fruit leaves and vegetables. With a little work 25 percent or more of a young, bearded dragon's food can come from a garden. As beardies get older, you can give them more vegetables and fruit leaves, and less insects. Some sources recommend 20 percent insects and 80 percent vegetables for adult dragons.In the Dragon Garden we will focus on eight plants that can help feed your bearded dragon all summer long and throughout the year. The four perennials are grape vines, raspberry bushes, strawberry plants, and asparagus. Four garden annuals planted each year from seeds are kale, arugula, radish greens, and mustard greens. Greens from an organic garden are the best thing for a bearded dragon and can be fun and educational to grow. Variety is the key to a healthy bearded dragon. With a wide range of different kinds of leaves, your bearded dragon will get many needed nutrients.Note that many veterinarians recommend giving bearded dragons only crickets and insects that have been purchased at a store rather than caught in the garden, so focus on growing leaves for your beardie.The fruit produced in the garden is best consumed by children and adults, rather than the dragon. Fruits, like strawberries, raspberries, and grapes, should be given infrequently or not at all to bearded dragons. Many sources recommend adding fruit to the beardie's diet only once or twice a month. In the wild, bearded dragons live as solitary creatures in warm and arid areas of Australia. They favor deserts, subtropical woodlands, savannahs, and scrublands. Since they are omnivores, they eat insects, leaves, flowers, fruit and even small lizards or rodents. Wild bearded dragons also eat tree leaves, including mulberry trees. While much of a bearded dragon's food can come from a garden bed, other food can be picked from nature or picked from other plants that are part of the yard or landscaping. Make sure what you are picking for the dragon has not been sprayed with pesticides.Wildcrafting is the art of harvesting food that you have not planted in a garden, specifically for picking. If you look around your house at the trees and flowers, there may be some leaves you can wildcraft for your dragon. Dragon food also grows as weeds like dandelions and on trees like maple leaves.

Book excerpt: Celebrates and explains the astonishing range of habitats on Earth and the intricate balance of their animal and plant communities This book is a beautiful visual reference to the world's natural habitats and the plants and animals that live there. It explores global habitat types, including desert, Arctic tundra, and tropical forest - and distinctive regional habitats, such as the windswept puna grasslands of the Andes or the dripping, fern-clad rainforests of New Zealand. Packed with fascinating illustrations, the book analyzes how each habitat works and examines its unique combination of plants and animals, along with the features that suit them to live there. It then goes deeper, telling stories about how the inhabitants relate to one another and interact. Stories are told using images and graphics, showing what is going on in the natural ecosystem. The stories include survival strategies and life cycles, how pollinators fertilize plants, and how animals distribute the seeds, how similar species divide up food or living space to avoid competition, and how some species cooperate in intimate partnerships.
