The DragonSlayer
By DragonEyzs
They speak of a Legend from days of old
Of a mortal man that was strong and bold
A mighty sword strapped to his back
Honor and wisdom, he did not lack
Many a callous marred his hands
From wielding the sword to protect the land
Songs were sung of his noble deeds
For he lived a life to keep man free
He ventured forth one cold spring day
To fulfill a quest, but he lost his way
Astride his faithful steed of white
He rode all day and into night
Into her Lair he did stray
Green eyes watching from where she lay
He felt her talons close round his waist
As she lifted him with gentle grace
He was stunned as her gaze he met
A toothy grin on her face was set
Never had he met her kind
Though he'd slain many Dragons in his time
The pressure from his waist released
Within his mind she did speak
She shared the knowledge of her ancient life
Of pain, suffering and strife
Opening her heart for him to see
He gazed upon pure love and beauty
Never had he been so moved
Upon Dragon wings he flew
Into the dawn of a bright new day
He realized, he had not lost his way
But found what he did not seek
A Dragon, he chanced to meet
Smiling as he mounted his steed
He glanced back to fill the need
To gaze one more time
At knowledge that was beyond his mind
He left to her a sacred treasure
One that gave him immense pleasure
Knowing it would be guarded with her life
To keep it safe from strife
His heart he left in the Dragon's care
Hidden safely deep within her Lair
