Dragon at Twilight
Twilight unfurled like a banner across the heavens as indigo shadows swept over the valley below. Slowly, the stars began to appear. A cool breeze carried the scent of pine and chestnuts roasting. Suddenly a darker shadow enveloped the others, melting across the dry grass. A defiant, thunderous roar rumbled through the evening sky as the dragon appeared. Her scales glittered and sparkled as they reflected starlight and the last rosy hues of the setting sun. Dusk mingled with night while the dragon soared across the sky. Two bright moons slowly ascended - one waxing, one waning, both jewels of the night. Then the dragon drifted into the distance, shimmering like a star in the moonlit sky.
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
