The Adventure Seekers
Creative Primary School , Cheung , Audrey - 9

T here was once four dragon siblings Kai , Mira , Zoku and Saki . They lived up peak in the mountains of China . The siblings take care each other as their parents were always up North for work . Inside their den was peaceful and quiet , whereas the outside of their den was chaotic and dangerous . Among the dangers , there was a plague named “ The Summoning Virus ”, which will gave nausea , headache , and cancer . The only cure is the “ Petal Of Light ” which only stayed by the waterfall in India , most adventurers were also infected by the plague so they couldn ’ t retrieve the “ Petal Of Light ” while they were using medical treatment ..

One day , Saki looked outside her den and sighed . “ Why the long face , Saki ?” Zoku asked . “ The plague is getting worse by the second , nobody has the cure . Therefore , I feel like we are the four to cure our hometown ,” Saki replied hopelessly . Mira heard what Saki said and replied , “ Dragons are dying by the second . If we don ’ t do something quick , the whole peak will be destroyed by the plague !” Kai was the only one that felt calm and normal . “ Kai ? Do you think we should search for the Petal Of Light ?” Saki asked as tears formed in her eyes . All Kai did was stare off into space and nodded shallowly . “ Alright . So it ’ s settled . We ’ ll leave next week so start packing !” Mira demanded . “ Sure ,” the rest said in unison . Before they went back into their caverns , Kai looked back once at the entrance of the cave , and left to his cavern .
The next morning , Saki woke up early to pack her things . She packed : two blankets , one pillow , some meat and a few flasks . The rest of them did the same while the days grew faster and closer to the day they adventure out to the outside world for the first time . But they had no idea what they were in for .
It wasn ’ t long until that day arrived . It was sunrise when they took off , most of them bumped into trees along their way . Suddenly , Mira said , “ Now we go North !”. “ Why do you have to be so bossy all the time , huh ? Probably you can ’ t read , because the map clearly says to go East ! Not North ,” Kai protested . “ It says to go South , silly !” Saki shouted loudly . “ It ’ s West ! Neither of you got it correct at all !” Zoku called out . “ If you all think you got the right directions , which you probably don ’ t , then I suggest we go separate directions .” Mira suggested . “ Fine ! I never want to see you all ever again !” Saki shouted .
Without a moment to spare , each of them headed to different directions . As Mira flew North , she suddenly felt a little regretful about abandoning her family . The sun began to set as she descended down into the forest for the night . “ Hello ? Anyone there ?’’, “ Can someone please help me ?’’ a voice pleaded . Mira followed the sound and she finally found another purple dragon with a torn wing . “ Hi , I ’ m Mira and are you okay ? Let me get you up ,” Mira whispered . “ I ’ m Melissa , thank you so much for finding me !” Melissa said . “ It ’ s the least I could do , I got into a fight with my siblings and —’’, “ Same here , but now I regret it . Will you help me find my siblings ?” Mira didn ’ t say a word and pulled Melissa into the air and flew into the night sky .
Kai was falling asleep when he heard a loud shriek coming from the bush . “ Help ! This crow is going to eat me alive !” A voice screamed . Kai followed the sound and found a dragon . “ I , fight , my , siblings , lost … thank you ,” as soon as the dragon caught his breath , he said , “ I am Kay , I got in a fight with my siblings so I ended up here .” “ Me too , I want to find my siblings so will you help ?” Kai said shockingly . Kay nodded and flew into the clouds with Kai hovering beside him .
