I think that I am a dragon. I feel like a dragon is a part of me I a dragon. I can feel it in my soul. There is a dragon in here with me and I love her. She is so much fun I just love to play with her. We fly through the air and bounce on clouds making them rain on the people below us. we dive deep into the river and follow the current letting the water engulf us and swimming along side the fish. They are scared because we are bigger and they can feel our tummy rumbling. The whole river can hear our tummy rumbling. we pick up a few fish and swallow them up before giving a strong pump with our wings and erupting into the air where we soar through the sky once more.
Completely at home in all elements our dance is performed in every eco system though we tend to stay away from the snow and the deserts. We were not designed for too much cold weather and the desert is so dry that it makes my scales itch in places that I can’t reach.
Weaving in and out I dance with the rainstorms. I fly around them and try to make tornadoes. And I just soar along the high winds in the low pressure.
But I am not just a dragon. I am human as well and in that life I am a daughter a wife a mother and a friend. I have to be very cautious of my tail and wings so I don’t hurt the very smaller people around me. Though my personality sometimes seems to want to bowl them over. Sometimes I try to wrap my wings around and make sure they feel not only protected but also loved. Because a dragon’s love is not given lightly.
I believe I was hatched at dusk in the forest near a river in the spot in my head. There’s a small waterfall there. It’s not a huge river, almost a creek but it feeds into a much larger river and after hatching I could be safe in the creek. Then as I grew and began to roam more and more the deep river accommodated me wonderfully. Whenever it rains I want to return to the river. Or any river I need to return to the water like every single drop that falls from the sky. They all are just waiting for their time to return to the great gathering of water.

I think I am a storm dragon of the river valley T’sara. Near where I was hatched there was a waterfall and I knew I was never to go behind it. But when I was young and curious I wanted just a little peak and all I found was a cave. So scared that someone would see me I ran out. But soon that became my favorite spot when I just needed some time by myself. I used to practice roaring and breathing lightening. When I was in adolescence the cave had basically become my second home. Eventually I found that it was more than just a cave but near the back there was a tunnel. I explored it frequently and could not understand what everyone’s problem was with it.
As I was nearing the end of adolescence I had a tiff with my father and locked myself up in my cave. He had found my secret spot and told me to pack up and leave. Said I was never aloud there again. But as I was giving my last respects I saw the tunnel and figured if I didn’t look now I would never get another chance.
Slowly I creped through the tunnel, careful of whatever had made everyone hate this cave so much. It was very quiet; the sound of the waterfall had vanished very quickly. Though, as I went farther I started to hear the sound of water again, and I quickened my pace. Soon I heard another waterfall but it was much louder than the one I had just left. When I got to the end of the tunnel it was like going through another veil. The other side was very similar to my hatchland but here it was storming. The winds were fierce and the rain was pouring from the sky. It was my favorite kind of storm… a thunderstorm.
I was so excited I flew straight to the clouds and woven around them. I danced in the rain and shot out lightening across the sky.
As the wind started to fade I noticed I was feeling weaker. Like I hadn’t slept in weeks. I started to glide back down to the ground, but as I looked back I noticed that I could hardly see my tail. I hit the ground hard and spun around. I looked at my claws and my body and realized I was starting to disappear. I tried to get to the waterfall but realized I was too far away and I didn’t know where it was. I panicked and flew into the sky trying to follow the creek back to the waterfall but I knew I couldn’t make it. Then I found her. A girl was dancing in the rain next to the creek. It was odd because she was shimmery and transparent. I dove at the waterfall, trying desperately to get back in time.
She stopped dancing and called out to me, “It’s too late, you know.” I stopped in my tracks. “If you try to go back now you’ll get stuck between worlds.”
“What happened to me?” I stopped trying to pass the waterfall and turned to look at her
“You passed over to a different world, and we can’t support your kind of magic here it’s too concentrated, so it begins to drift off, and now all that’s left is your spirit, which won’t last long without your body.”
I lowered my eyes and my head sunk. So this is why my father was so upset. I realized that her was angry but very worried. Now I would never see him again because of my need to revolt. “So I’m to die here.”
“You don’t have to, come with me. I’ll protect you until you can go home.” She walked over to me and placed her hand on my shoulder. Together the two of us soared through the sky and over cities. Soon she came to a house and went through the window. There was a girl inside who looked just like the dancing girl but more solid, and then the shimmery girl started to put herself inside the other.
“I don’t think I can fit in there, especially not both of us.” I was worried and I could feel my spirit wanting to disappear along with my body.
“Don’t worry just lay down right here with me, it will be ok in the morning.” And with that she fitted herself completely inside the sleeping girl.
Slowly I crawled through the window though I noticed that I passed through the wall in the places that couldn’t fit in the window. Then I just curled up on the bed on the girl content that I would be gone in the morning.
When I awoke I seemed to be moving in a strange way. Looking around I realized that I was now inside the girl who had been asleep, her spirit helps me figure things out and we have been together for a very long time now. I can’t wait for when I will be able to go back to my home with other dragons but for now I am learning a lot. I’ve also started to find other dragons in a similar predicament. This isn’t what I was looking for when I went through the tunnel but I think, in the long run, it might be better.
