dragons rogue fly from high above
taunting me and spitting flame
but one within them lingers back
as if she's not one with the pack
one from the front swoops down at me
and strikes me with his tail
now all are coming, except for her...
she averts her eyes and grits her teeth

i can't believe it
They dare attack me!
I’ll tear them apart
Limb from limb they fall
Before my feet they lie…
But one before me stands unscathed
But I myself fall to her feet
She has beaten me…

A glimpse before I fell to darkness
Black wings, purple scales
A she-drake too…
She smells of grace and looks like beauty…
Who is she?
This I wondered
This graceful creature

Before I fell she smiled and said
“I am Elora, Soon we’ll meet again.”
I fell to darkness and later awoke
To find her sitting by my side
Tending my wounds she smiled bright
As I stared, unable to speak.
Her claws were gentle
And I tried to speak
But it was for naught
I was too weak
I could only watch as she cared for me.
I don’t know when I fell to sleep
But when I woke She’d fallen too
But pressed against me
To share the heat
Blood rushed to my cheeks
I lay still so not to wake her
Watching the rise and fall
Of her chest
As she breathed
And set to match my own
She soon awoke
And looked at me
Soft eyes
Softer heart
She was beautiful
Words escaped my lips
“I am Lucian
Thank you for tending to me.”
She smiled at me
And my heart beat faster
Her smile brought new warmth to me
I tried to stand
But pain shot through me
And I soon fell
Broken limbs
And broken wing
Would keep me down
For quite a while.
She offered still
To keep me well
To aid me in recovery.
As days go by
I grow closer to her
And my feelings grow as well…,

i can't tell
if she feels for me
the same i feel for her,
but theres hope
and it grows every day
