The Sound Of Darkness
Like The Echo Of Lost Souls
An old dragon sighed in the darkness.
Huge, thick, rusted chains hung loosely around his great neck, restraining him from doing all but lay there, alone. His tattered wings were sore from having been bound for so long, causing blisters to spread all along the edges and bottom of his wings. His long tail draped across the hard, rocky stone floor, restricted by long ropes of chains harshly thrown around it. He could not sleep soundly at night, as he was constantly haunted by a past mistake- one small, unforgivable action… but often, that was what did the most damage.

The Shadow Of A Wave
Waves crashed against the shore, blocking out the sound of distant roaring, although the creature’s identity remained a mystery. A child stood at the edge of the water, allowing the waves to lap her toes as she stared out into the horizon. Squinting as hard as she dared into the sun, she saw a graceful silhouette beginning to appear. A long, elegant, thin neck raised from the water, and a long fin ran the length of it; down the neck and onto the back. It turned towards the girl and seemingly smiled. It stayed for a moment, then dove downwards.
