Fable
The Owl and the Iris
There once was an owl, wise and majestic. With his dark, spotted body he would spend his time residing over the wild fields. Perched atop a branch, a king in his own right, he would look upon the splendor of the wild fields. At night, he would soar high above enjoying the fresh winds in his feathers and the freedom of his domain.

Inevitability
A great tribe of hunters lived on the Verdant Plain, a land filled with mystery, sprawling grasslands, and pristine rivers. Blessed by the God of the Plains, the land and water teemed with life. The brilliant sky above filled those who beheld it with wonder. The tribe had resided in the land since ancient times and moved in harmony with its seasonal undulations. Each day, a cool breeze would bring comfort to the tribe’s labors as they hunted, fished, and lived amongst each other. The hunters and scholars of the tribe were revered for their clarity of sight and wisdom of thought. They built upon the achievements of their ancestors and cultivated a great richness of life for their people. But, as time passed and the lives of the people became increasingly unburdened, a vague yet deep-seeded feeling of malcontent began to root itself within the hearts of the people.

How The Gods Built Their House
For years, I lived certain I was on the right path. But to my horror, I discovered that it was a lie. I had been deceived as a child and the decisions I had made under the auspice of righteousness had led me down a path of chaos and meaninglessness. Refusing to succumb to nihilism, I resolved to climb the mountain of the gods and beseech them to rectify all, to undo the damage I had done in my blind adherence to what I now knew to be little more than superstition and ignorance. The journey was long and miserable. I passed the Foothills of Novelty, stumbled through the Forests of Humiliation, traversed the Lava Fields of Perdition. I wept at the Fountain of Repentance, conquered my fears in the Desert of Illusion, and was stripped of everything I held dear as I climbed towards the Summit of the Gods.

Do You Believe In Dragons?
If, like me, you are obsessed with Game of Thrones, then dragons play a large part in your life. From the first time I saw Daenerys with her 3 dragon eggs (a wedding gift when she married Khal Drogo), to when we see the dragons fully grown, I have almost dreamt and ‘lived’ “Dragons”. Drogon is the black and red dragon and the one Deanerys rides. Rhaegal is green and bronze and he was named after her eldest brother. Viserion is cream and gold, and was named after her other brother, who met his death at the hands of Khal Drogo. The CGI in Game of Thrones just made these 3 dragons “come alive” and are a real spectacle to behold!
