Once upon a time, far away in the
clouds and lost to the eyes of all things
modern, remained the beautiful
Kingdom of Anathia. Naive to the ways of
other worlds, the people would
rejoice within each day for the wonderful
lives they lead.
And it was within this world that
the beautiful Kate lived. Uneducated in ways of
hard work, depression and hatred,
everyday was like an adventure to her, but
something was missing.
And then there was Ashley, brave
and handsome, the dream of every female
soul who knew him. A dragon tamer
by trade, there was nothing he could not
handle. But still, something was
missing.
Life was perfect and sweet, and
the sun always decorated the sky with mosaics
of rainbows and clouds. But there
were two; two strangers with no knowledge
of one another and who were lonely
for something beyond their grasps.. but how
could someone be of want for anything
in Anathia... no one understood, and
thusly they felt mentally outcast
from everything they knew and loved.
And it came to past, as many things
did then, that dragons began to haunt the
lands of Kate's home... and with
this came Kate's fear. A new emotion never
before felt, Kate had trouble living
with herself, wanting every moment to give
up and give in to the fear.
And he came... A handsome figure
all dressed in blue, his shadow hazing as he
crossed the field. Kate's eyes
widened... never before had she seen a man
besides her father, and this creature's
beauty amazed her. But it wasn't her he
was looking at, but she was all
that was there.
The sound rose from behind her:
a sound she knew well and feared above all
others. The colorful wings rose
and shown across the sky as she tried to hide.
And then, a touch ... it was him,
and it was magic.
He took her hand, his eyes never
leaving hers... and all was forgotten. He turned
his head and whistled ever so lightly
and before them stood the creature of her
fears... but somewhat more pleasent.
Ashley took her by the waist and glided
her gently onto the dragon's back
before taking his place behind her.
Together, having still not spoken
a word to each other, they soared about the
open skies all afternoon, and as
the sun left the sky, so did Kate's fear. And as
the two moons of Anathia rose brightly
in the sky, something new was found. A
space once empty was filled and
even without a word being spoken, they both
Knew.
