The Sprites of Saturn, visit New York
A sprite is a small electrically charged being, with the ability to attract gaseous elements which coalesce with it. As sprites develop they undergo radical changes. They develop more body mass and transform into small star shaped beings. With time they gain strong reasoning abilities along with shape shifting skills. In a century of our time they learn how to metamorphosis into dragons. However it can take them a millennium to gain enough skills to become a dragon lord. After earths failed harvesting of Saturn’s chemicals, the sprites have the right to visit Earth

Now, see, I didn’t know that. Great fun, Michael
Thank you Neil, what will appear next I wonder.
Dear Michael,
Interesting. The things I never knew about sprites. 😉 BTW, you left the R out of Sprites in your title.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Two big thank you’s Rochelle.
That’s it, I want to be a sprite!
Thank you Tannille. They are certainly long lived,
This reads like the coming of a new legend. Well done!
I now have five pieces of flash about Saturn and it’s Dragon Lords, but I do wonder if my muse will let me say more… Time will tell
It’s amazing the things we learn on FF!
Thank you Lizabeth. Perhaps one day Saturn will be on humanity’s road map, till then I feel at liberty to create my own version of Saturn.
Perhaps this isn’t their first visit. Could these sprites be the origin of our dragon “myths?” Good stuff.
Indeed I think that they could be…
You’re doing some interesting world building, Michael. Good take on the prompt.
Thank you Penny, world building is something that I really enjoy, both in my writing and model building
Well, a reciprocal visit is only polite 🙂
That is so true, but often denied here.
Yay, the physics and chemistry of Saturn sprites. What fun.
I ask myself where will it all end, even will these dragons encourage us to understand and learn about the cultural identities of other planets in our solar system.
Seems your muse is enjoying this – are you sure she’s not a sprite in disguise?
Keith, now you have me thinking, however my muse must have multiple layers, but no romance allowed
Here I thought I knew all about sprites. Interesting stuff and a cool take on the prompt!
Thank you Susan, I think that the sprites may lead me to travel to other planets in our solar system
Well, that was most convincing. I can see myself talking knowledgeably about sprites somewhere in the future thanks to you. Such good fun.
Thank you Jenne, the sprites and I appreciate your comment.
I am fairly certain that I do not like the sound of this. But, it is still a fun, imaginative story. Hopefully I won’t be around when the dragon lords get here, and that is something I tell myself every day. 😉
Thank you for commenting Anne The dragon lords are much more gentle than they appear
