The God And The Dragon Once there was a Dragon, a great beast who feared nothing and no one, not even the greatest of the Knights known to hunt dragons. The dragon would sit amid his hoard confident he owned the most magnificent treasures on the Earth. Now it happened that this Dragon had a friend who was a God and he too feared no one and was confident in his abilities for even though he owned no treasures of earthly wealth the God was rich beyond the dreams of avarice in other things most notable of which was the gift of laughter. He could make the somber Dragon laugh and Dragons were notorious for their serious dispositions. The God liked the Dragon a great deal and over time his heart grew more enamoured of the beast until he knew he must tell the dragon how he felt. On the way to see his Dragon he chanced to walk through a forest and saw a most enchanting creature that might have been fashioned of dreams and moonlight in the way of magical creatures and he was confused for his heart stirred to life just as it did for the Dragon. He was sure he must have been enchanted with powerful magic and try though he might he could sense no spell to explain this awakening. The God saw through the trees his friend the Dragon standing as though spellbound and staring at the creature that might have been fashioned of moonlight. He could see that the Dragon was enamoured of the creature just as much as he and he knew the great beast would determine to possess the creature for his treasure. Even after so short a glimpse the God understood that the creature was sad and melancholy and should the Dragon make it his treasure to be admired by the Dragon alone the creature would wither and die. He could see the wondrous creature needed the sun and moon, the wind and the forest to survive. The God was distressed for he was falling in love with the creature and was already in love with the Dragon and he did not wish to see either his old love alone nor his new love confined. While the God thought of what he might do about this predicament the Dragon chanced to spy his friend watching the beautiful creature and was seized with jealousy that anyone should think to gaze upon the creature. He forgot he was friends with the God and determined to swoop down and capture the creature in his claws as gently as the wind would caress moonlight. He would protect his love from the trials of the world that had so saddened the creature and surround it with the security of his treasures. Unknowing of this the creature walked through the woods and the God and the Dragon watched and waited, eyeing each other with distrust and anger instead of the friendship they had enjoyed for many years.
