I read this just before shutting down last night and it made for fun dreams -

On Good Terms With Dragons |
|
|
|
Ken sat on his towel and stared out at the sea. He sensed and felt the approach of the dragon. Wind from the wings swept over him, and the ground trembled slightly with its landing.
Ken looked around. There had been no sound.
KeEnarsha stood within a pace of him, towering over him.
I could eat you. Rumbled the dragons deep voice.
Ken rose smoothly, and faced toward the dragon. Naked after his swim, he stood with his arms stretched out wide, and with his eyes closed. Something told him this was an appropriate way to present himself as a sacrifice.
Eat me, then, and end my troubles. Begin your own.
There was only silence in answer. Then he heard the dragons indrawn breath, and braced himself for what would happen.
Warm air wafted gently over his drying skin, as the slitted nostrils of KeEnarsha opened wide upon him. He opened his eyes. KeEnarsha lowered his head.
Ken stepped forward and wrapped his arms around the huge scaly head. I love you too, KeEnarsha.
The rumbling voice spoke again. Let us ride.
Ken grabbed his towel and draped it over the rough scales behind KeEnarshas short frill, and climbed up to sit behind his head. He held onto the wicked looking horns that came up to form the upper apexes of an inverted triangle.
KeEnarsha spread his wings into the stroke position, and Ken could hear the wheezy sound of the organic bellows of the firelung drawing in air between the dragons shoulder blades. With a sound like a small door slamming shut, the lungflap closed and there was an immediate thunderclap of noise.
Ken was thrust violently downward as the dragon sprang upward. Then KeEnarsha power-stroked again and again, gaining altitude with each beat of his wings. In a moment, they were gliding south along the coastline, riding the onshore breeze as it rose onto the land.
Ken screamed in exultation. KeEnarsha turned his head slightly, looking back at him. The corners of his huge mouth gave a slight twist in the dragon equivalent of a big smile.

When I was a little child, I had many friends. Cowboys, cops, fairies, figments And fire breathing dragons!
Dragon Lady came to me One early summer morn With news that we'd been waiting for; Her babies had been born!
She let me check her babies, They were the cutest little things. Years later, we are all grownups Conquering reality and kings!

I'm glad the cloud's moving anyway, and not just hovering!
Responding to another post, I didn't know you were a pilot! You and dutchess could trade flying stories!
Hi, Sistah D! Been thinking about you - Amy posted a picture the other day that reminded me of Giz. So sweet.

That's a sweet remembrance of one of your husband's little expressions of his love and appreciation for you. :)

I have to agree that baby bluejay is not a beauty - but the adult jays are so pretty!
