It wasn\u2019t until I came across myths about Chinese water dragons that the idea really fixed in my mind as a potential story arc.\u00a0 Like my character Mr. Kadam, my research is very thorough.\u00a0 I collected pages of notes on every possible type of dragon, created lists of famous dragons, and make charts of their attributes organized according to color, mood, and even tail.<\/p>\n<p>The first decision I had to make was wings or no wings. \u00a0I stuck to my Asian theme and created Chinese dragons that were snakelike and sinuous but had no wings.\u00a0 I kept them bearded with four short limbs and taloned feet and I gave all of them long tongues and tails as well.<\/p>\n<p>Next, I chose colors.\u00a0 Though I discovered that dragons come in all hues, even rainbow, I selected colors purely based on my own preferences.\u00a0 I wanted my dragons to be jewel colored and reflect the bright hues of India and China.\u00a0 Red, Gold, Green, Blue, and White were the five I included in the book.\u00a0 Still, my red dragon is not purely red.\u00a0 He is a mix of red and black and carries the traits of both.\u00a0 My gold dragon has gold, bronze, and yellow characteristics.\u00a0 The blue is a mix of blues and purples and my white dragon also has some of the tendencies of rainbow colored dragons.<\/p>\n<p>In my research, I learned that red and black dragons are fierce and destructive. They can cause violent storms; they battle in the clouds and are said to be the source of lightning and thunder. Blacks are considered evil and deceptive. Reds are associated with all the symbols of red: blood, temper, anger, love, fire, passion, volcanoes. The blue dragons are more peaceful. They like ice and cold waters. Gold dragons are the kings and queens of dragons; they hoard wealth. Green dragons can heal and promote wellness but also cause earthquakes, spew acid, and eat humans. They\u2019re good at tracking and stalking prey.\u00a0 They lie and deceive. Whites are reflective and wise; they are seen only rarely, tell half-truths, are omens of death, and their scales shine like mirrors.\u00a0 They prefer snow and ice and like to live alone.<\/p>\n<p>I found stories of Indian serpent kings, of crystal palaces beneath the ocean where dragons dined on opals and pearls and were served by crabs and fish, and of weather patterns caused by dragons such as waterspouts, typhoons, and hurricanes. \u00a0I learned about the constellation Draco and how some thought it was the serpent that tempted Eve while others believed the dragon in the sky guarded the sacred apples of Hera.<\/p>\n<p>In China they believe that dragons bring the rain, watch over waterways, guard treasure, and bestow strength, wealth, good fortune, and fertility. In centuries past, the Chinese people have even called themselves the Children of the Dragon.<\/p>\n<p>I pulled apart all of these ideas and my dragons came to life.\u00a0 Each of them has a distinct personality but, since they are brothers, there are some characteristics that overlap.\u00a0 In Chinese mythology dragons are omens of good fortune and they are helpful to mankind.\u00a0 So each dragon guides Kelsey, Ren, and Kishan but there is always a price to be paid.\u00a0 I wanted my dragons to help but I also tried to make each of them slightly mischievous.<\/p>\n<p>The elements are a big theme in the tiger series, so I assigned each dragon a duty and associated him with a symbol of his calling.\u00a0 I found a very obscure myth of the dragons of the five oceans.\u00a0 It didn\u2019t go into much detail other than that they each guarded their territory.\u00a0 I chose to assign my dragons to their respective Oceans.<\/p>\n<p>When naming them, I cheated by combining the Chinese word for dragon (l\u00f3ng) with the Chinese word for their color. I also gave them parents\u2014Mother Earth and Father Time.\u00a0 Five dragons with various traits and responsibilities can be confusing so I created a chart to keep them all properly organized.<\/p>\n<p>As my heroes confront the dragons, they must accomplish whatever task the dragon assigns and make a bargain that assures they will ultimately reach their goal of finding Durga\u2019s prize.\u00a0 The red dragon is first and his task is not an easy one.\u00a0 They are given the assignment to light one of his failing stars.\u00a0 Kelsey charms this dragon and he is persuaded to help them move on in their journey.<\/p>\n<p>The blue dragon is spending his days lazily sleeping and to gain his help, Ren, Kelsey, and Kishan must defeat a dangerous sea creature before the dragon will rouse himself.\u00a0 Fortunately, Durga has bestowed new gifts that are especially needed for this battle.<\/p>\n<p>The green dragon is a hunter.\u00a0 He enjoys stalking prey and what better prey could he hunt than tigers?\u00a0 But this dragon is deceitful and clever.\u00a0 He throws one obstacle after another in their path and the tigers must overcome his treacherous plans not only to get one step closer to their goal, but to save what is most precious to them.<\/p>\n<p>The golden dragon is my favorite.\u00a0 He is greedy and openly proud of the fact.\u00a0 In facing this dragon, Ren and Kishan must crush him in a battle of wits.\u00a0 They play on his fears and use shrewd bargaining to attain their goals.<\/p>\n<p>The white dragon is the eldest brother and he offers his aid without ruse or bartering.\u00a0 Still, this dragon, who favors his exotic underwater pets, perhaps doesn\u2019t clearly acknowledge the danger his pets may pose to our heroes as he sends them on a dangerous journey through ice tunnels in the depths of the sea.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think Tiger\u2019s Voyage would be the same book without my dragons.\u00a0 I hope you think so too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Colleen Houck<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"128\">\n<p
