A mighty champion of the skies
Its scales shining like a thousand rubies
It wields the claws of a mad beast
Its vicious jaws covered in blood
'Tis the bringer of flames and death
An awesome power feared by all
It answers to no one
Up the night of a full moon
The dragon swoops into the night
Searching for blood and flesh
A feast worthy of kings
Screams enter the air upon its fearsome sight
Fires arise
Blades are drawn
A rain of arrows cover the sky
But they are no match for the dragon's might
It's majestic beauty is revealed in the flames
All turns to silence as it prepares its first attack
An epic terror takes hold of all
The hearts of Men are turned to ash
In one fell swoop, many are slain
Blood and flesh rips up into the air
Dying cries are quickly put to rest
The great beast shoots back up into the sky
It's countless scales sparkle with crimson light
'Twas merely its appetizer
The dragon quickly returns
Many have turned and fled, but there is no escape
The remaining search for their resolve
An angel whispers a quiet prayer
As the beast once again begins to charge
The land is brought into a one-sided battle of death
The winged beast gains but a few scars
The lives of dozens are lost forever
When the creature has finished its feast
Countless cries of agony fill the sky
As raging flames rip across the plains
The satiated dragon rapidly climbs back up into the heavens
Leaving behind a charred and desolate land
The remaining survivors know that this is merely the beginning of the end
Of all they held dear
