Here I am, a lonely, proud dragon in a solitary cliff cave.

Upon my mighty cliff I have an exquisite view of the endless, turbulent, ocean waves.

If you dare to approach my treasured cave

I will…

Stare you down with my blood red eyes. Eyes that see into your weak soul.

I will….

Shred your tendons with my teeth as sharp as shards of shattered glass

I will…

Beat you back with the curves of my wings of steel.

I will…

Use my needle-pointed, diamond talons like a battle-hungry warrior’s sword.

If only I could tell you why I fight so intensely.

I fight because my entire future depends on it.

My future depends on my woven nest of precious eggs.
