This is my entry for Sue Vincent of The Daily Echo‘s Thursday Photo Prompt Challenge.
There he lay on the summit of the Clift next to the castle. He knew he was dieing, his wound was mortal.
The gaping hole just above his tail had long since stopped hurting. He was so tired and cold. Both the feeling of tiredness and cold were new to him. Always the internal fires he owned had kept him warm and there was no room for tiredness in the life of a Dragon king.
He looked across to the castle where his beloved mate was clearly visible. She looked glorious even in death affixed to the turret and covered in gold.
He wept, he grieved a feeling until now unknown to him. He thought of revenge but it was too late he was already turning to stone.
The last of the dragons, now gone.

The dragons aren’t gone in my world, just exiled, but there’s evil afoot.
May 24, 2018 @ 20:06:59
I love dragons, maybe they are not the last of their mind then 💜🌹
May 24, 2018 @ 20:14:09
Not in the universe I’m creating.
May 24, 2018 @ 20:15:28
Excellent 💜

How sad! Perhaps there is hope and this isn’t the last of the dragons.
May 24, 2018 @ 20:53:35
I really hope so too 💜💜
May 24, 2018 @ 22:55:34
There is always hope in dreams. ❤❤

Interesting – dragons turn to stone after they die?
May 25, 2018 @ 05:37:54
I certainly think that they do 💜💜
May 25, 2018 @ 12:24:14
Such a shame 😦
May 25, 2018 @ 23:05:21
Good one willow, sad when dragons cease to be.
May 26, 2018 @ 05:54:26
Yes very sad I always thought that we should of treated them better.xxx
May 26, 2018 @ 11:57:07
Nooooo!! 😦
Why did they have to die?
May 26, 2018 @ 15:47:22
I know I regret it 💜😱
May 27, 2018 @ 01:20:43
Oh…the poor Dragons! I hope there is a Dragon Heaven or another incarnation or Dragons. A very sweet and sad tale, but I really like it very much.
May 27, 2018 @ 01:45:28
Thank you so much for reading, I hope that the Dragons are not quite done yet. Either way, this king and his queen will at least be together 💜
May 28, 2018 @ 12:12:10
Ahh…that makes me feel so much better!! I am so glad! Karen 🙂
