Poem
Jaded Dragon Beneath the silver glow of a liner gentle light, A lone figure treads through Whisperwood'endless night. Through tangled vines and ancient trees he roams, His footsteps hushed by nature's muffled drums. When suddenly, a flash of jade catches sight, Guiding him toward secrets cloaked in twilight. His heart pounded fierce, primal dread unfurling wings within his breast, yet he paused, transfixed by emerald fire burning bright against the gloom. Those eyes-oh, those eyes!-held him enthralled, twin lanterns illuminating am ageless sorrow and untold mysteries swirling in their depths. Against his will, he found himself ensnared, Drawn to the dragon's gaze, a siren's glare. Fear melted away, replaced by curiosity, As he stepped closer, pulse racing wildly. Emerald flames flickered in the moonlight pale, Reflecting ages untold in those windows to her soul. With scales like polished jade and eyes that pierce the night, Thou dost command my feet to draw ever near. Through wisdom bids me flee from thy sight, I find myself ensnared, unable to retreat. I am Draconis Harperantrix, last of my kind, banished long ago to dwell in shadowed realms, "Many moons have passed since I last beheld the light of day, handsome stranger. Too long have I dwelled alone, haunted by memories of happier times turned to ashes." "Why seekest thou my lair, bold mortal man? Hast fate entwined our paths in ways unforeseen? Or dost mine eyes ensnare thee, like a lure cast wide, Drawing thee ever closer, to my side?" "My heart doth yearn to trust in thine intent, Yet fear doth grip me tight, lest 'tis mere fleeting bent. Too often have I seen compassion turn to scorn, When mortals learn the truth of my eternal morn." But in thine eyes, I see a light unfeigned, A pure compassion that doth make my spirit wane. Perhaps 'tis destiny that hath brought us thus, Two lost souls seeking solace, bound by an unseen thread. So let's seize thus chance, this slender thread of hope, To heal our shattered halves and lay our burden down. "For in each other's presence, we shall find, A balm for wounds time left upon us. So let us dare unfold thus story, Hand in hand, face whatever lies beyond compare."
