A dragon knew, a dragon flew shadowed skies of moonless night. A morsel for a dragon’s stew beyond the view of demon’s flight He soared and sailed across the land in search a maiden pure and chaste. It was his work, was what he planned and nary a drop would come to waste. An eye of green and gold and black did scour the land both far and wide. His claws were honed for his attack and then he’d soar away and hide. Then o’er the hill in valley dale He saw the quarry he desired. She walked to well with empty pail The form of her his lust did fire With flap of wing and puff of smoke one focused eye and deadly aim He dived through air in darkness cloaked Intent upon this mark he’d claim Then quickly as a dragon’s sigh Without warning of coming change The maid transformed before his eye a warrior princess did remain She stood most bold, smooth blade in hand Raven haired with snow white skin Eyes that flashed with steely command Confident this battle she’d win “Come to me, thou wicked blight, Fire and brimstone be your kin. I shalt slay thee upon this night And make new boots from dragon skin!” He roared and fussed in anger’s rage and pawed the air in pure disgust. For she would grace a lofted cage as he sat eyeing her with lust. And from his lofted height of death he soared toward her waiting blade as fire and smoke gave way his breath in his lunge toward this maid. And to the earth the dragon fell his curdling scream piercing the night.. For from her stance a sword was thrown which found his heart...to end the fight. They say the moon now smiles again above the castle peak and wall. Because a maiden of soft skin remains in wait their cry and call. |

My God, what beautiful writing, guys and an amazing tale, the raven haired beauty reminded of something Celtic, maybe Rhiannon . . . without the dragon *wink* |
