Draconian dictate.

The tyranny of sky and land.

By Jordan ZunigaPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

It was a time of uncertainty as the terrors within the skies,

Were a constant thought among the kingdoms,

A fear that rested in the hearts of men.

The sound of the roar of the draconian disdain,

With the shrewd, cold-blooded wrath that terrified those in the dream state.

It was, constant misery at best.

And at worse?

Well, the sound of screaming as fire consumed what was left,

That didn't become fodder for the belly of the beast.

There wasn't always dragons here,

We considered ourselves blessed, all for naught.

There wasn't always dragons here,

Now we suffer for all they have wrought...
