The tone in my voice carried the same annoyed parental inflection one would use on a rambungtious and fidgety child..
"Would you kindly BE STILL!" ::looks sternly at the tiny dragon in my hand::
An equally annoyed and impatient voice rings out with the familiar, and discontented lament,"Arn't you done YET?"
"The creation of beauty ,my tiny friend, requires diligence and patience and must be dilberate,in detail,and exact, lest it be mocked and shunned!"
The tiny dragon sighed with exassperation and impatience, and once again relented to my constant, painting,placement, plucking and preening . of each of its tiny beautiful scales!
As I busied myself,I offered explaination again, still decorating , scrutinizing, and admiring the color and position of each scale..........
"You are to be my gift to M'lord and creator.. and your design and decor must be impecable, and exquisite!As you are well aware,M'lord can only keep my company in the shadows, I was created and
born of and in the dark and have no place in the light,and so i cannot be present,watchful,or protective, of M'lord...
You are the mightiest of all the abyssal creatures even in this puny form,( offering my gentle assurance to its true nature),you are as
imposing, and deadly as your behemoth Kin,(my voice rings with a hint of teasing),albiet,.. "cute!" The tiny dragon,glances over its shoulder, and offers a glare of insult..
Continues to explain, I present you to him in this form, because as you
are aware he gifted and created me with the Noble and superior soul of your
ancestors,and through my gift of you, he will be reminded of my eternal
gratitude and appreciation!
You are to crown the blade of a most subtle,yet unimposing and deadly
dagger.iT is my desire That he will glory in your beauty, and keep you
constant,and close at hand, For me you will be my ever vigilant and watchful
eyes, and you must NEVER allow harm to come to him.
So i beg your patience, my little friend ,
and your indulgence, in my endeavor to strive for perfection.
The tiny dragon , sighed and settled.. offering no resistance
as i fussed over it with diligent scrutiny and intensity!
