Tassin approached to the statue with his hand over his chest and bowed deeply. Then he faced the camera.
"The statue to my right is Lynne, the Lady of Endless Stories. She's a human but she's revered in the Dragon Cave as a goddess. Actually, if not for her, you would never know about Father Dragon.
Gifted with the Star of the Storyteller, Lady Lynne could open portals to different worlds and dimensions. Many gathered around her to experience the magic she weaved.
Fate wanted Lynne to open the portal between this and the Dragon Dimension. Her Star of the Storyteller lured Father Dragon into this dimension and his Flame of Creativity fascinated her.
Convinced they had met their creative soul mate, the Dragon and the Lady traveled together through dimensions, time, and worlds.
Although it was a magic relationship, it was not easy. Very powerful fires burned inside them both and when their powers collided, their magic created supernovas. Still, the Lady did something no one else could. She tamed the indomitable.
It was Lady Lynne who hired the first dwarves to take care of her dragon. It was her who made him addicted to Virgin Snacks, that she fixed for him. It was her who chose the cave and made it cozy for both. Dragon and Lady spent years opening and closing portals and weaving dreams for each other until Fate commanded different.
They parted ways promising this was not the end. He would always keep a light on the entrance of the cave for her and she would always keep looking at the horizon for that light. They would never forget all that they shared nor the piece of the other they kept in their hearts."
Lady Lynne sounds special.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like a dynamic woman and together they're very powerful.
ReplyDeleteLady and Dragon need to get together again soon.
ReplyDelete"Dragon and the Lady traveled together through dimensions, time, and worlds." This sounds like the start of a book I would love to read. (:
ReplyDeleteFascinating imagery in that tale. I see the muses are doing their job. And since we have the Lady of Endless Stories to thank for Father Dragon, I am in her debt as well.
ReplyDeleteYes, the Dragon and the Lady does sound like a theme for an excellent book. We need more dragons in this world.

That was beautiful. That drawing ain't too bad either. Is it yours?
ReplyDeleteAwesome story, Lynne sounds magical indeed because I think story telling is as close to magic as many of us can get. Nice post :)
ReplyDeleteNicely written!! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with some of the other comments, sounds like a great premise for a book!
ReplyDeleteGoddesses among the dragons make for interesting stories--the kinds that become legends.
ReplyDelete@Lynda: She was, still is. She will always be special.
ReplyDelete@Medeia: Yes, very dynamic. :)
@Alex: Nothing would make me happier.
@Elise: Maybe, in the future. :)
@Jeff: I have a lot to thank her for. A world to thank her for actually. :)
@Jo: I think I was the last she brought here. Not sure.
@farawayeyes: No, the drawing isn't mine. I found it in the web. :)
@Brandon: She's magical.
@DL: Thank you, my friend!
@Suzanne: I'm not ready to write it, Suzanne. Probably some day. :)
She is LOVELY... such a beautiful story FD.... It always takes a special woman to calm the beast within....
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
I think I had the male counterpart to your Lady Lynn in my life once and fate also dictated that we separate. But he has never left my heart. It's the tragic beauty of love.
ReplyDeleteOh, beautiful and bittersweet.
ReplyDeleteVery thoughtful and courageous post. Creative Soul Mates....love that. Keep the Fire and Light Burning in the Cave and in the DragonsHeart.

This makes me happy/sad. I am very happy that the Dragon found Lady Lynne and sad that she is gone. Fate can be a difficult thing. Perhaps what tore them apart will be the thing that brings them together. You never know.
ReplyDeleteA statue to your creativity and/or Muse! That's great. A bit sad as story as well if you want the happy ending, but as the statue represent, she's still there! Maybe to come back when she'll be inspired? I like your way to see things and combining them in fiction and reality!
ReplyDelete@Michael: You are right. Great weekend to you too. :)
ReplyDelete@Julie: Yes and I still miss her greatly.
@Tyrean: Love is like that, right?
@Sue: Yes, I will. Thanks Sue.
@Robin: I never lose hope. I'm one stubborn dragon.
@Franny: Thank you. Yes, someday she'll come back as she promised.
Nice tribute.
ReplyDeleteThat brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful, Al.
