Feared for ages,
Thought to be a mindless beast,
The dragon rests on a mountain
Of fire and brimstone
Viewed as a monster,
Labeled as a killer,
The dragon remains in its home
It wishes only for peace,
A quiet, undisturbed life
But, the humans never understand that,
And what they don’t understand,
They try to break
Legions of knights sent
To slay the great beast,
All failing in the end
Until one day,
A princess came along
Gentle and kind-hearted,
She met the dragon
With nothing but serenity,
And for years, they lived
In tranquil harmony
For after all this time,
The dragon had finally
Found a true friend
