Thru the Heart of a Dragon

The wind is in battle with my wings tonight.  I find no joy in what I have to do.  I have to find a high perch so the humans won't detect my presence.  Mt. Syd is up ahead.  It has been a happy place for me up until tonight.  A dragon wasn't meant for acts such as this. Gliding down to rest here on this mountain will give me the best view of the castle.  King Treffix is awaiting the birth of his first child.  Why oh why must it be  that I rob him of his joy? I, too, know the pain of being robbed of happiness.  There is a waterfall in this mountain.  A place where my mate, Ergina, loved to frollick in the water. Memories rush back.  "NO!" he screams, "I can't do this, even for her!"  He jumps to take flight. He sees the magical waterfall where his love used to rest. She's a true silver dragon whose edges are black and green.  Her fierce eyes would scare most, but only he knew they were loving eyes.  They were black as coal, deep and dark in battle and shinny when she was happy. She wouldn't approve of what he had been asked to do.  It is wrong to bring your own happiness at the expense of another's.  She might never forgive him.  The humans and others don't know of the strong bonds between dragons.  To them we are just creatures to subdue and use.  They don't know that dragons love and dream too. He soared high into the sky.  The wind defying him.  He battled the wind as he battled his inner screams.  "Ergina!"  the tears rolling from his eyes.  "Ergina! My Love!"
