The Meeting of A Goddess and A Dragon

Two different entities living in their own worlds. Each day Fate guided them thru their lives, pushing them towards the time when their worlds would intertwine. How did a Goddess and a Dragon come to this place? It's an interesting story...one I wish to tell. Enter the world of chat and you will find many interesting people...some that become your friends, some that become your enemy..and then there are those who you stumble upon that you cannot quite decide what part in your life they play.

It was actually not a Dragon, but a cheeky little demon named Jay_Kay...that caught the interest of the Goddess one day. As she sat in her comfortable chair watching all, this little demon strode into the hall and made his presence known at once. She chuckled to herself thinking..he has some nerve...amusing...but brash. She watched him and smiled to herself.

Each time he came to the hall, she watched intently. There was something about him that kept her interest. Always she watched never acknowledging his presence..until one night...the demon had the nerve to use the hem of her robes to wipe himself off on like a bathing towel. She was outraged...how dare he! The demon rolled around on the floor laughing out loud..he had finally got the attention of the Goddess. She threatened to swat him into the next week, but rather than apologize or show remorse he laughed..."go ahead take your best shot". Rather than get more angry, she just smiled to herself. I see what this is she thought...a challenge. You wanted my attention..you got it. The game had begun. Time went by and the demon would poke at her and tempt her when he got the chance. Some times her tempter got the best of her and other times she would laugh until she cried.

One day the demon disappeared and in his place stood ShadowDragon. Athena realized that this dragon was the demon in another form..a form more powerful and more noble than that of the pesky demon. She grew to like the dragon and then realized later that her feelings were more. Below you will see the Dragon and Athena and their first declaration of unity.

Shadow Dragon
The sun was setting as He cast out powerful wings. Lifting him into the air, magic aiding his flight. The hunt was on. He cast a call into the air, a call of the hunt. A warning directed to the gods telling that a dragon was in flight again. A black streak, He flew through the sky, like a dark arrow. Casting his senses to the wind, searching looking for that special soul He had been waiting for so long, across many worlds and ethereal realms he flew, until He heard it, at first He could not believe it, that it would happen at last. He let out His call, Drawing her, pulling her...heart afire, that this day had finally arrived, that the last Shadow Dragon would find his life mate.

Athena ...The Dragon Within... My life is bathed in shadow It slinks around my Soul, With glimmering opalescence Its presence takes its toll. It watches on with eyes of gold Patient, ever-wise I feel the darkness lurking An enigma in disguise. But as I too gain wisdom My courage seems to grow And though I walk in shadows wake The darkness ebbs and flows. I chance a glimpse of shadow Its edges gilt in light But the glance is fleeting And I plunge back into night. My life is cloaked in shadow It lingers in my mind Though is the dragon evil Or is the dragon kind? When the darkness beckons Reach out and draw it near For within the dragon's shadow Will come the strength you fear. What once was the dragon Now fulfils its holy goal To balance out the light and dark To complete the immortal Soul.
