Heron

By Julia Schmeelk | April 2, 2018

Did you ever wonder why Heron was willing to spend most of his life with a dragon, hiding his own intelligence from the other dragons? Or why Grabon was willing to do the same among the humans? Why did claiming the territory change all of that? Well as far as Heron hiding his intelligence from…

Freezing Rain

By Julia Schmeelk | April 2, 2018

We traveled home again after a wonderful visit with my brother and his family. The food was fantastic, the company entertaining and many of the stories worth repeating. However the weather really could have been nicer. About halfway home, we had to stop for de- icing, gas and a bathroom. We passed three cars whose…

Intimidation

By Julia Schmeelk | April 1, 2018

Almost everyone has had a moment when they needed to stand up against their own fear, justified or not. It is one of the things my characters do well. They face their own fears, establish new standards and strive forward in the participation of their own life. Many people I have known over the years…

Education

By Julia Schmeelk | March 30, 2018

Where are the schools? On NewEarth the schools are in the colonies or larger settlements. Youths and children beyond those areas are educated by their parents and community. Is Grabon interested in a school? You will need to wait and see. What about books? The image of books are easily embedded on beads, easier to…

Awandering

By Julia Schmeelk | March 30, 2018

The whole idea of youth awandering to educate themselves is based on a student directed education approach, where students decide what they want to learn.

Colors and Markings

By Julia Schmeelk | March 29, 2018

Dragons have interesting pigments in their skin with various markings. Many of those markings develop over time, but some are present at birth.

Race

By Julia Schmeelk | March 29, 2018

Flying

By Julia Schmeelk | March 29, 2018

How fast can a dragon fly? I really don’t know as I have never been in a position to clock one, but a I can tell you that a territory is 60-70 miles across, and a dragon can fly that distance in a little less than what we call an hour. But only if they…
