Riley shook his head, “I fear you have killed us all.”
“What little faith you have, my friend.” Paige looked forward as Starfire flew into the courtyard. It’s body sparkled with a rainbow of fire. Black as night, yet bright as a star. With a swishing swoop it landed solidly upon the cobbled ground.
“A dragon. We are truly doomed.” Riley turned towards the others and ordered them to flee back into the forest. As he turned back to grab Paige, he stood stunned at the sight before him.
Paige was face to face with the beast and held a smile across her face.
Riley cringed over the thought of seeing her being eaten by this hideous beast. There was no way to save her. He had greatly failed his mission. Why was she so foolish?
Starfire took in a deep breath and blew out blue icy wind, that surrounded Paige's body. Paige’s long golden hair flew around her in a tangled mess...

This is what came to mind:
ReplyDeleteCaptains Three
Captains three, they sailed the blue,
Seeking lands unknown.
Fair winds followed forty days,
Till sunshine turned to gloom.
Sea to sky a wall of black,
And the first captain put about,
No storms for him, his ship returned,
To familiar land and home.
But he never knew, and always wondered,
One ship back, but what of the captains two?
The second plunged right in,
No coward he!
But when he saw the waves,
He tried to flee, but lost his head,
And with his head his life,
And sank into the sea.
One ship back, one ship gone, but what of the final captain?
He set himself, and saw beyond,
The storm, and wind, and waves.
His ship endured, and he broke through,
To lands beyond the sea.
And in the end, the hurricane,
Had proved to each his heart,
One ship back, one ship gone, and one ship through the storm.
