Dragon


It takes to flight and breathes in fire, Unleashing centuries of ire. With claws of steel and fangs of dread, It leaves the bravest heroes dead. The creature thrives, the beast survives, Consuming all that burns and thrives. A spark descends, a chilling breath,To turn the vibrant world to death. The shadow of its brazen wings, Silences the songs it sings. Black claws slash the crimson sky, Leaving ash where others die.
