DRAGONS

A dragon is a legendary creature, typically with serpentine or reptilian traits, that features in the myths of many cultures. There are two distinct cultural traditions of dragons: the European dragon, derived from European folk traditions and ultimately related to Greek and Middle Eastern mythologies, and the Chinese dragon, with counterparts in Japan (namely the Japanese dragon), Korea and other East Asian countries. The two traditions may have evolved separately, but have influenced each other to a certain extent, particularly with the cross-cultural contact of recent centuries. The English word dragon derives from Greek δράκων (drákōn), “dragon, serpent of huge size, water-snake”. X

Iona couldn’t help but joked, even at the most inopportune moment. It was how she reacted in these kind of situations, to try and lighten the mood. But the mood was anything but light as she waited in the shadows, eyes darting back and forth cautiously until Sera joined her, the fae huddling against the fire dragon for warmth. It was times like these she was glad her friend was so warm.

“Is this really the best plan? I mean, when they throw him out, we’ll be out here too. What if he sees us before we see him?” This was a situation where spontaneity may not have been the best answer, and Iona only had her doubts when it was already too late. “It better not take too long, this corset was made to sparkle, not to prevent hypothermia.”

“Do you really think I’d let anything happen to you? He won’t see you, and if he does, I’ll keep him away from you. Have some faith.” Sera gave her friend’s arm a squeeze and shot her a rare, encouraging smile. Inside Black Watch, there wasn’t much Serefina could do to keep people safe or level the playing field. At least her physical strength came in handy. “Does this happen a lot?” she asked, keeping her voice quiet as her eyes trailed back toward the door of the club. “Not with this man specifically, but in general.”

“People don’t generally want honest. They want this perfect dream with that perfect person, and it really doesn’t exist. But for those few minutes, you think that Prince, or Princess Charming and that life will work out perfectly. But yeah, let’s throw that direct thing in there and not waste time. Like now.” He took a deep swig of his drink and put the glass down on the table. Leave it to someone to ruin his mood. “Have a good night. And life.” Picking up his coat, he pulled the leather attire back on and headed for the door.

“So we agree to disagree,” Sera shrugged, though she could barely resist rolling her eyes at the male. His sudden shift in mood was confusing. He’d made her listen to his opinions and seemed pleasant until that second. Her brow furrowed in confusion. Her comments weren’t even harsh, especially given how direct she had been at the beginning of their conversation. “Fine then. Be that way. Someone doesn’t agree with your way of thinking and you have to run away from a conversation. Go then. Hang around with someone who will just agree with every little word that falls from your lips.”
