Baskadia

The Dragon flew past the village

Larger than towers

longer than the catapult used to

take down armies

he saw puny humans and was disgusted

as how the world was ruled by such

insolence

who were they compared to him

for he was epitome of strength

pride, fortune and destruction

he terrorized the village and demanded

he gets a sacrifice a day to qwell his anger

flying to the mountains which he named sacred

he waited everyday eating a puny human

which he detested

Soon he found this amusing for he could

demand and it would be brought

so he up the stakes

the princess I demand

for what is royalty in my sight but just puny

stripes on the green cloth of the earth

he sent out his demand

and the next the princess

dressed as a bride to her husband

with no tears ready for death moved to the mountains to meet her and end

she came open a sleeping dragon

calmly she went up to on her knees

waking him up from his slumber

she knelt in front of him as if submitting her whole being

but when the dragon woke

what he saw made him weak

it would be a waste to take away this beautiful and care

and his true nature shown

he laid his head at her knees

like a pet who's master was coming for the first time

Princess? she smiled and touched him gently, calmly and smiling all the while

It's okay you won't be lonely anymore
