Fantasy Winter Landscape
A silver dawn slowly rose over new-fallen snow, casting light across the northern plains. Frigid wind scraped the steel sky like a dragon's talons. Then the wind stopped suddenly, as if the world had taken a deep breath. Nothing stirred for a long moment. Then a shadow spread like water across the snow, growing larger and darker until a great beast could be seen in the sky. The dragon's magnificent wings glittered like diamonds in the sunlight as it soared over the plains. The wild air beneath its wings swept the snow below, blowing it across the plains. The dragon soared higher, disappearing into spider web-like clouds. All was silent and still once more.
I believe there's a hero in all of us that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams. -- Aunt May, Spider-Man 2
