Dragons are fabled beasts of myth and lore,
and yet, some say they lived in the far past.
And they were noble creatures at their core;
or so said every mage I've ever asked.
They slept upon the treasures they'd amassed,
and those hoards were oft-rumored to be vast.
They were adept at soaring silently
on magnificent wings, masters of flight.
And yet, Man treated them violently;
beheading one; the quest of every knight.
And so, they were hunted and killed on sight;
till few mystic creatures were left to fight.
St. George once slue a dragon in England,
and He is renowned for it; to this day.
The last of dragon kind, killed by Man's hand,
was a leviathan of silver-grey
that once flew the skies of ancient Cathay,
only to be speared and left to decay.
Now long extinct, destroyed by greed and fear,
dragons were once magical and austere.
