The Last Dragon Is a Coward
fantasy◐ Mature5 contributors · 4 paragraphs deep
Halfway down, the boy heard wings, huge and slow, beating the air. He spun around. The dragon dropped out of the dark sky and landed on the path in front of him, blocking his way. "You stupid child," it growled. "You really meant to fight an army with nothing." It lowered one wing to the ground. "Get on. I changed my mind. But we do this my way."
The dragon set the boy on the ridge and faced the valley alone. But fear is a hard habit to break. As the Legion's drums grew louder, the dragon froze, wings half spread, unable to dive. The boy screamed its name. The moment passed, the army marched by below, and the dragon stood shaking, having frozen at the one moment that mattered.
