Daisy drifted upon the thermals, basking in the warm sunlight that dappled her dark scales ; she stretched her wings to full extent, unaware of the mighty shadow they cast far below, a shadow that moved over hill and vale, over village and field, striking fear and terror into the ant-like creatures she knew only as 'food' : life was simple for a dragon : there was 'food' and 'not-food'.. occasionally, a small sub-category of 'not-yet-food' could describe an over-abundance of 'food' beyond even the capacious stomaches of her and her sisters, who shared the delight of drifting far and wide upon the air currents : such abundance left uneaten today usually reverted to the 'food' category tomorrow, so all was good. the category of 'not-food' could be a more complex equation : rocks, obviously, were not food, her sisters were 'not-food' though, on occasion when scrapping over a tasty morsel an odd mouthful of siblings wing added to the frolicsome fun : and, of course, Danik was definitely 'not-food', even though he was of the type of creature most firmly located in the 'food' frame. Even dragons of unimaginable power and strength do like to be scratched just behind the ear and Danik was an ear-scratcher of unsurpassable skill. So, he was permitted to live upon the Sacred Hill, the birthplace of dragons since before time began.
Glancing down, Daisy saw a most ugly and ragged creature planting strange weeds upon the Sacred Hill : She howled the dragon equivalent of 'WTF?' and her sisters gathered beside her and , following her pointed talon, saw the sacrilege being unfolded upon the Hill : One after the other, they peeled away from their formation and began their dives down and down, speed building and talons flexing, deep breathes in-drawn as they stoked the furnaces within ready to send forth a flame that would consume the Sun itself : it was time to get medieval on this suckers ass.
