“Are those for me?” I said smiling.

The dragon tamer knelt down on one knee.”will you marry me?”

“Yes….wow! Thank you for the beautiful flowers!” I said with tears in my eyes.

“I picked them out of the garden at the training center. They’re snap dragons of many colors mixed with daisies and roses.”

He said happily as he stood.

We walked to a nearby bench in the park. Then we sat down to watch...

Dragon migration, what a sight to behold—unless said dragons decide to take a dump, covering the town, the trees and of course, the people in a gruesome, repugnant stench.

Every year, the town’s folk celebrate in the streets. Volunteers hung up banners and flags created by the local school children, erecting marquees of every colour and food stalls from every continent.

People from all walks of...

Seraphina had never seen dragons before. Her fiancé brought her here to the reserve where he worked and she couldn’t believe her eyes. She heard chirping from down by her feet and smiled when a little blue dragon and a little red one are rolling around together by her feet. She picks up the blue one and giggles when it runs up her arm to her shoulder and sits. The little red one huffs, steam comin...

“They have come so far, have they not?”

Elka turned, startled, “Yes. They have grown to twice their size since I last saw them.”

The Tamer smirked, “Thrice, in fact. Almost full grown.” Elka smiled and looked back at the creatures swirling around each other in the distance. Stepping back from the cliff edge, she fiddled with the ring on her finger.

“It has been some time,” She looked down, uns...

Mesmerized, I look up to the sky to see the flock of dragons fly above me. They fly so high, it looks like they are far from the tall buildings.

“Hello, I’m the dragon master and here is this lovely bouquet. Will you join me and my dragons to learn of a world far beyond the one you live in?”

Shocked, I only shake my head in a yes.

Never had I seen dragons! I recount the ones I spotted. A beaut...

Watching as a flock of dragons flies above the city, you feel a tap on your shoulder. You turn around to see your beloved dragon tamer with a bouquet in their hands. It’s Picchu. His arm extends as he offers you the bouquet. You notice that in his other arm, he holds his dragontooth helmet. You realise that this is his way of saying that he cares about you on one hand but he also cares about his j...

The gaze sent chilling shivers down Mara’s spine as she smiled shyly, tucking a tendril of short brown hair behind her ear. She gently took the bouquet of fresh red roses and while lilies and tucked it in the crook of her arm, accepting the soft kiss her charmer initiated.

Even though they had been through thick and thin, the delicate touch of the man still made her swoon. Mara pulled away bashf...

“Okay, remember, 4 o’clock tomorrow,” I told him slowly. Really I meant 5 but I knew he was going to be late like always. “And please try and act normal around my mum. No big surprises.”

He nodded slowly.

“What time?” He asked.

“4.”

“And what to bring.”

“Big surprises.”

We both paused confused.

“Oh wait, I meant to say you should bring NO surprises,” I corrected.

“So I shouldn’t bring no big surp...

As over-the-top engagements go, Mattias’ plan beat anything I could have dreamt up. I knew he wanted to make a big show for me because Mattias ALWAYS wants to make a big show, but that is kind of the nature of anyone who takes on the job of dragon tamer. Most of the tamers are flashy, over confident, and certainly have a big dollop of narcissism thrown in.

We had been dating for almost a year a...

The flowers were a bit sudden...I didn’t expect flowers. Wild ones..my favourite. Wide innocent daisies, buttercups the yellow of sunshine, small forget me nots hidden among the wild grasses, bright splashes of colour in the cheeriness of pansies, lavender stalks with their heady scent wafting upwards. I didn’t expect flowers. Wonderful crunchy flowers. Yum!

“Ok Idris, you know you’re my favour...
