Teddy Dragon Bear

Once upon a time a long way away The Prince married the Wizard's daughter Within the Queen's garden they said their vows Wonderful day in the land of Stohyer Then came the black witch and let it be known Her pale white skin sent shivers through the crowd Her voice cackled making the guests tremble Thy firstborns blood will make my skin shine proud To the Wizard's cave they sought his advice There his red haired daughter told of their plight Then with dagger he cut each of their hair Mingled hair in cauldron opened the sight The clear water began to boil and churn When it calmed down it was like a birds eye view This sight was flying fast over the land To the far corners of the land they flew Then the sight did still, showing a great bear The bear looked up at them giving a growl Come ask me kindly as he showed loose claws The King understood the bears words in growl Then sight flew to show an old grand dragon The dragon saw them and bellowed great flame Come ask me kindly showing pile of scales The Prince understood the words from the flame Then the Queens garden to a strong old tree The tree swayed and the wind rustled the leaves Come ask me kindly showing huge walnut The Queen understood rustling of the leaves Leaving Wizard and daughter safe in cave The king rode hard and fast to see the bear The Prince climbed up high to meet the dragon The Queen to her garden asked tree to share Once returned they gave the gifts to Wizard The bear gave claw of a great warrior Dragon gave the scale of the first dragon Placed in walnut shell to protect Stohyer Wizard sealed the shell and gave to daughter Keep warm and with you always my daughter When you are with child it will crack open Revealing a protector of Stohyer The red haired Princess took care of the shell The Princess kept it with her everywhere Then one morning she awoke to cracking With husband they watched a hatching to share It cracked a little here and then more there Revealing something they had never seen A bearlike furry ball with a long tail Stretching out little horns could now be seen The eyes of the Prince and Princess went wide Something beautiful and new was now there Looking up at them with green dragon eyes The Princess cuddled Teddy Dragon Bear
