TheWoWDBNote positioning makes a big difference on how many sparkles you get credit for. If you stand next to the dragon thing after you click on it as it runs away you'll get credit for maybe 1, but if you stand where the sparkles are landing I've gotten credit for as many as 15, which really shortens the number of dragons it takes to finish the quest.

Description
I think that old paper said something about "fiery wings." Those little dragons around here have wings. They're kind of fiery, in a way. You're quicker than me. Try catching some of those dragons... or at least slapping the powder off of them. No point in killing a harmless little dragon, if all you want is the sparkle from their wings.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Horror Comes A-Rising
We are protected from the mantid. Such was the agreement made so many millennia ago. There are forces from which we are not safe, however. The kyparites beneath the ground to the west will haunt us, chase us... even eat us. The mistlurkers eat our kind by the handful. Help our people, outsider.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Incantations Fae and Primal
I suspect we are going to need the help of these sprites. We have two enchanted daggers, bound together with wood and shade. Now we need someone to perform ancient "incantations" on our artifact. Before we ask for favors, let's show the sprites that we mean well.
