Most people envision dragons as huge winged lizards that breathe fire on the heroic knight as he tries to rescue the damsel in distress.
However common this image of dragons is, it is a truly unfair one.
There are many people which feel a deep love and respect for dragons, I myself, being one of them.
I am a believer. A believer in magic, dragons, faery folk and the like.
A believer of a world long gone by. Many people these days find it hard to believe in such things and dismiss them as myth and legend. Those are the people that have little imagination. Those are the people that judge before they really understand.
I, however, disagree.
Many cultures have based traditions and everyday culture around such things as dragons, faeries and magic. There are still some facets of our own culture which reflect these beliefs although many may not realize it.
Dragons are truly the embodiment of a time gone by.
They symbolize joy, love, sorrow, power, magic, and most of all hope. Hope that one day people will be willing to look beyond first impressions to see true beauty within.
