i was only protecting myself, it wasn't my fault, it was too late, was it ash? |
the dragon spit flame at any who dared to get too close -i was only protecting myself the dragon swooped down from the skies dodging the people’s arrows an arrow with goose feather fletching lodged itself in between the dragon’s scales the dragon roared in pain raining hellfire on the village below -it wasn't my fault the princess entered the dragon’s lair on a mission to rid her people of this monstrosity she expected to find a fearsome creature with fire spewing from its jaws what the princess found was not a monster out for blood but a miserable creature who had not planned to harm anybody the princess pitied the dragon and thought to return home and declare the dragon to be peaceful the dragon had heard the princess approach and turned it’s scaled head knowing that the princess had been sent to slay it the dragon reared back heat pooled in the dragon’s throat and burst from its mouth in licks of copper flame the princess dropped her sword and held her hands up in a gesture of peace as she burned -it was too late the people banded together to avenge their beloved princess they found the dragon with its wings hanging limply on either side of what seemed to be a mound of dry earth the dragon did not turn when the people entered its lair the dragon only lay its head down beside the ashen soil as the people pried at its scales with their pitchforks and arrows and blades the ground darkened stained with the blood of the fallen winged creature -was it ash? |
