Just because you can't see the magical creatures of the world doesn't mean there aren't there. They have always' been.That's where the magic is! Right in front of your Eyes...
As
well as many house fairies that live in the hearth or behind the
stove, there are spirit that represent the fire itself. In Northern
European countries, they were called drakes, salamanders and dragons.
They are said to smell like rotten eggs, but this usually only if
betrayed then they presence the stench. They are sometimes glimpsed
as a flaming ball too. They only take on the character of fire when
they fly, then they look like streaks of flame or fiery balls with
long tails. Otherwise they look like small boys with red caps and
coats. They are house fairies who move into a house and keep the
firewood dry and bring gifts of gold and grain to the master of the
house. The bond between the male head of the house hold and the male
drake, is a serious pact, often written in blood. The drake takes
care of the house, barn and stables, making sure that the pantry and
money chest are well stocked. They can travel the world in a split
second and bring their masters a present back from far away places.
In return, the master keeps the drake fed and treated with respect.
Should
the drake be insulted the house will not be there long. If you see a
drake on its travels, take shelter, for they leave behind a poisonous
sulphurous fug.

The
Owls blink is that like of the humans, by closing the upper eyelids.
This gives them a human-like expression. Unlike humans, however, the
eyes don't move! This is what sets the Owls apart from Humans and
most animals in the Animal Kingdom.
