Arsizio's Dream
“Get up!” The voice rang through his ears as his eyes jolted open. He could hear Palomino seemingly gathering various materials but was too stubborn to turn and look. “It’s time for you to walk,” the voice continued, calm and stern. “I can’t walk.” Arsizio blurted out abruptly. “No but you must.” Palomino retorted ever so eloquently. “Only your mind has been defeated so far, not your body. So that is what we need to restore. Listen to your body not your mind and your doubts will clear away.” Arsizio knew that Palomino was right but was too stubborn to admit so he just continued glaring off in the opposite direction at the wood wall. The injury did more than hurt his knee but wounded his self perception as well.

A Dragon's Flight
The air is cool against my scales, and I can finally breathe. The hot sun shines down through the morning mist sharp and stabby, its heat welcome on my iridescent wings. I pump them hard once more, shooting straight through a wet cloud then level off. I am above the clouds now and the world below consists of nothing but these rolling white hills and I feel utterly alone. Before that would have scared me, but now all I feel is content. Banking west, I tuck my wings in and coast several miles. The air is cooler this way and acts as an invisible compass that will direct me to my destination. Home, I whisper out loud. I am finally going home. And for that glorious morning, for the first time in a long time, all was well.
