A Guardian's Passing...
"They will come." "They are fools, if they do." "Nobody ever said, war was a smart practice."
Z'ev 'Draconis' Zayveon softly nodded to the large female dragon settled atop a platform. The ancient female titled her head to the side as she laid with slowing breath. "You are the keeper of secrets, Draconis. They will come for them. They are already starting to mass in the South. Ships and wagons are in motion to bring their troops this way. With my passing, they see little that will stop them." A light shift of a massive wing, warmth slowly escaping the dragoness as death drew near. "They will break upon the mountains that surround my castle, north of here." Draconis spoke quietly as his hands moved along the dragon's neck. "You can't prolong what is to be, Draconis. Let me go. Let me close my eyes for the last time and part this world." Draconis eased his hands from the dragon's neck with a soft bow of his head and a step back. "You will be missed. The mountains will not be the same with you absent." Soft lowering of head and the dragoness softly blinked a few times. "Thank you, Draconis. For being a good friend....farewell." Wings shifted slightly and then eyelids closed once, before opening and a nod was given from the dragoness. Eyes slowly closed for the last time and a dragon's heart fell silent.
