Scales and Claws

 In the shadow of the mountain,

a castle dreams,

its stones whisper tales of

scales and claws,

of a snake dragon

coiling through the mist.

Fires dance in the depths,

a breath of ember and ash,

as the maiden waits,

her heart a silent echo,

the knight’s call trembling

in the twilight air.

Wings unfold like ancient secrets,

a slither of power

winding through the night,

where fangs glint,

and legends take flight.

In the shadow of the mountain,

where the craggy peaks cradle the sky,

a castle stands, ancient and proud,

its stones whisper tales of time,

of knights forged in courage,

and maidens draped in dreams.

Amidst the mist, the legend stirs,

a snake dragon coils around the spires,

scales shimmering like starlit night,

each breath a gust of fiery breath,

an ember caught in the rush of wings,

a creature born of earth and sky,

earthy breath mingling with cloud.

She stands at the edge of the crumbling tower,

the maiden with heart of wildflowers,

a spirit bright as the dawn,

her gaze tracing the horizon,

seeking the pulse of adventure,

the battle cry that stirs deep within.

In the distance, the knight approaches,

armored in valor, forged in loyalty,

with every step, echoes of destiny,

his hands, strong as the roots of ancient trees,

clutch the hilt of a sword,

reflections of hope dancing on the blade.

He climbs the steep ascent,

where shadows flicker like forgotten dreams,

the dragon’s roar echoes,

a thunderous song of challenge,

the maiden whispers to the winds,

"Let him find his courage,

let him breathe fire of his own. "

As the dawn breaks,

colors weave through the valley,

and the dragon unfurls beneath the sun,

fangs gleam, claws grasp at the air,

defiance wrapped in a shroud of might,

but the knight, with steady heart, approaches,

a dance of fate upon the rocks.

The clash of wills, a storm of fire and steel,

echoes through the valleys,

each strike a testament to dreams,

each roar igniting the spirit of the age,

and the maiden watches, breath held,

the coil of time tightens,

the tapestry of life unspools before her eyes.

In this moment, all is revealed,

the dragon, a guardian, fierce yet wise,

and the knight, a beacon, steadfast and true,

with each breath, they carve their fates,

in the firelight that merges with the dawn,

a tale woven in the hearts of those who dare.

As the dust settles and silence breaks,

the maiden descends from her lofty perch,

her steps light, each heartbeat a call,

to the knight, to the dragon,

to binding stories, to shared paths,

for in the clash of fire and steel,

they forged a bond, unbreakable,

woven in the fabric of time.

And now, they stand together,

beneath the gaze of the eternal mountain,

a knight, a dragon, and a maiden,

all embracing the winds of change,

their spirits soaring on the wings of courage,

as fire whispers in twilight’s embrace,

and the castle echoes with laughter,

a home where legends intertwine forever.
