Champion of the Sky
~*~
Golden flecked emerald eyes
Glow through the darkness
As she emerges from the shadows of her lair
Crystal blue scales shiny and smooth
Shimmer as they hit the moon light
Leathery wings spread set to take flight
Her majestic serpentine tail whips gracefully through the air
As thunderous roars that resound from deep within
Sparks fear in even the bravest Knight.
A formidable predator
Known through many a land
Soaring high skyward bound
Villages and towns left in the carnage of her wake
Battles lost and vanquished foe
Men turned to ash from her fiery flow
No chains can ground this mighty beast
No blade too strong
No arrow too sleek
Leaving a charred and desolate land
Triumphant once again
She the Dragon champion of the sky.
