Vicious

“So comes snow after fire, and even dragons have their ending.” – J.R.R. Tolkien

There is not a view as magnificent as the one of a vicious dragon celebrating its victory over the weaker.

The dragon was standing all tall and gracious in the centre of a burning circle.Surrounded by big flames,he seemed  genuinely proud of those hot,red snakes that were turning everything into dust.

You could tell he enjoyed that glorious scenery he had caused,completely unaffected by the tiny screams of the animals around him.

It was the most monstrously beautiful dragon that the world has ever seen.He had a huge,yet elegant body covered with plate-like scales that were the colour of lavander.His long,thick tail had sharp,bladelike extensions on both sides and he had a few of them on his head as well.There were still little sparks of fire coming out of his black nostrils,but nothing on him was as scary as his little,almond-shaped eyes that looked so empty and cold as ice.

He was truly a ferocious creature.

All of a sudden,he sensed some disturbance in the air,so he open spread his huge,but graceful and purple wings that made him look almost ethereal.

The sky went all grey and in the very next moment million raindrops started falling down heavily.

The dragon gave one last furious roar and flew high in the sky, leaving nothing but ashes behind.

Wicked

-You wanna know a secret ?

He knew exactly how to draw her attention.

The girl was so young that he could easily be confused for her dad. With his big,black beard and gray hair,he didn’t look attractive at all,which made him question himself quite often why did girls like her fall for his lies.

-You don’t? That’s alright.Girls as pretty as you should be cautious.-He smiled.

-I shouldn’t talk to strangers.- She finally spoke,but he could sense her curiosity.

It’s gonna be easy with this one.He heard his wicked mind say.

-Oh,but that only applies to strangers who want to hurt you.I just want to talk,that’s all.- He gave her one of his sweet,innocent smiles and noticed a bit of a relief on her face.- ”You can trust me.I could never,not in a million years,do harm to such a sweet girl.”

She blushed.

Bingo.

–So,what’s the big secret all about ?-she now started acting all cool,which was typical for girls her age.

-Oh,I will tell you.Just gotta make sure no one can hear us.-he said as he took her hand leading her to a darker place.

She followed him slowly,unaware of the wickedness of the monster in front of her.
