Friends - An Excerpt from my first book of "The Eight Speeds of Light Series"
The Black Dragon rose slowly from the ground
In chains and dungeon where it was found
Dwarven enchantments held it there
Little Elf, Kyrt, froze stiff and stared
While lighting torches on dungeon walls
He remembered Die's key before the fall
Limping back to the pit of hell he stopped
And chipped a crystal from passage rock
With key and gear tucked in his pack
He turned around and headed back
On his way his leg healed fast
The Smokey Quartz, he had to laugh
Returning he used the crush dream key
To set the tortured Black Dragon free
It hissed and shrieked a venomous cry
Spread its wings smashing stone to fly
In ascent cave rock tumbled down and fell
And Kyrt ran back to that pit of hell
Watching as the Dragon flew away
He knew they'd meet another day
He entered the Dragon lair once again
Found stone made stairs, he grinned
But before he left he searched around
And oh what treasures there he found
~ Four Eagles
All right of picture to the artist, I just used it as an example of a Black Dragon.
