 Some of your past stories need to be retold
especially of the beast and the bold For the ones in armor, were not the ones that held you dear but the winged ones that you were told to fear The golden light once told that we sat upon, only comes from within you this treasure we did not seek to keep, greed was your only thought It was always held deep, deep down in the dark within and not outside you those were the false tales that you all once sought

 Thump thump thump, is it the beat of my heart
that I hear or the flap of a wing that draws near I call to the great ones to surround me and find them all around as I crash into the sea They take me down through the waves past the crust past the graves I see the faces of the ones I once knew when I was a Caller in the land of MU  REPOSTED FROM FITT 2014
Why am I including Dragons on this site? Maybe it is because I have always loved them. As a small child I fell in love with dragons and I wanted one as a pet. I had a deep belief that dragons were good beings: my idea was more like a large flying intelligent dog. I never associated dragons as they typical evil beast that flew around eating people and burning fields to the ground. Although the latter view is typical of Western mythology and what is depicted in most movies. The mythology is of a large beast, obsessed with gold and on a destructive path to kill all humans. That is why the mighty warrior must chase the beast down and slaughter it. This view became so entrenched in our culture that fantasy writers have taken up the crusade against them (although one of my favorite series as a child was “Dragonriders of Pern” by Anne McCaffrey because it was the opposite). Dungeon and Dragons and other games pitted the mighty against the giant beasts and the legends of Dragons and their rage continue. |
