Well, it all started with a contest in a magazine, a few years ago. It said there that who draws the most creative dragon will get a book that has carton and you can build a dragon with it. The book was called (pretty obvious) How to build a dragon or something like that, I forgot. I was sooo sad that I couldn’t draw dragons so I painted splotches with water colours and drew dragons in it. I didn’t win but it inspired me to draw my own dragon. I used Nerida (Merina, actually, I renamed her) as a muse and drew my dragoness, of elements water and earth. I was thinking hard about the name because I wanted something special so I named her Rea. A month ago, I found out in the library that Rea was a titan from Greek mythology. When I came to the Elves website, I got the idea that I could name myself after my dragon. 5 is my favourite number but I decided to put 4 so it would be like Rea-for-dragon.
