Dragon Hunting Pt. IV

Soaring high above the trees
i can hear the knocking of my knees

toward the village we near
the settlers screams i can hear

he burns down every home
but mine is left alone

he burns all the farms
the settlers are now up in arms

he fights them one by one
sparring what i thought was none

then a boy came out carring a long staff
and the dragon let me down with a little laugh

after reciting some kind of chant or charm
the boy turned into a dragon to my alarm

they flew away
leaving me to stay

all i can figure is they were friends
and sadly, that's how this story ends
