Heart-Halved
Chapter One
~*~
I was a dragon once I gave half my heart to a mortal king I loved.
It had never been done before and there were consequences.
Chapter Two
~*~
The king I loved became distant and cold.
He longed for the sky as dragons long.
Chapter Three
~*~
He was reckless and all fire like any dragon
but we are immortal
and can suffer much and live
Chapter Four
~*~
He was mortal and his fire consumed him.
Chapter Five
~*~
I became human in form
and i to longed for the bright blue sky above the clouds
Chapter Six
~*~
Yet I longed for his love more
Chapter Seven
~*~
He made me his queen but was no longer content with my love.
Chapter Eight
~*~
I watched as the fire consumed him and I wept for him.
Chapter Nine
~*~
I have given up my dragonhood but still I was losing him.
Chapter Ten
~*~
We were star-crossed.
Never meant to become one.
Chapter Eleven
~*~
He broke the half a heart I still possessed.
Chapter Twelve
~*~
I found him at the mountain's base impaled through the heart on an exposed root.
His body was cold but his face lately so stern was now so serene.
Chapter Thirteen
~*~
I know what had compelled him to climb the mountain
and seek the lair I had once called my own.
He longed for the dragon that had stolen his heart
and now so do I.
