Dragon Vòlkan

Twouze Chapit (12)

Renesens dragon an

(Rebirth of the dragon)

While Violette worked on a necklace, the dragon turned merman stalked around the seafloor picking up toys. The children were out playing tag and when they returned, he sat upon all their possessions which they had failed to clean up as they had been told more than once to do. “My mighty hoard is the envy of all!” Wakhangli announced haughtily as he wove back and forth and glared.

Seeing her favorite ball now confiscated, the first child, with long flowing silver hair remarked, “Grr!”

The second, who was blue like his father, seeing his sister’s predicament said, “Hmmph!”

Seeing his little trident had been seized, the third said with an angry swish of his green tail, “Let’s get him!” Violette put down her project to watch.

The three circled Wakhangli just out of reach of his long arms with which he swiped at them ineffectively. He could not leave the horde or they would surely steal it! At the right moment the one directly behind him charged in, he caught Wakhangli off balance as he pawed the water in front of him and tipped him over. The other two now attacked. The once mighty dragon seemed totally unable to fend off his tiny, but determined assailants. Soon they rescued their playthings, this time putting them away properly.

Violette swam over to her husband now prostrate on the seafloor. “Are you wounded, my Sun?”

“I fear it is unto death, but remember always that I loved you.” he replied.

She rolled her eyes. “That’s the second time this week!” She kissed him now as she gathered him in her arms; all was well.

They had the finest hoard in all the land, a spouse and three children who loved them.
