While she loves her family and her clutch-mates dearly, she felt a deeper calling…. She was moved by an inner sense of adventure, and she knew that one day she would strike out on her own…. And so, amidst much ado and flap between Saturday night and Tuesday morning, she made her goodbyes and set off on her own…..
As the sun broke the horizon Tuesday morning, she stretched her wings and leaped skyward…. She circled her former home in Albany, Oregon twice, as if to say “Farewell.” Setting her back to the wind, she soared up into the clouds, straining her efforts toward Portland…
She slept fitfully that night, not used to the sights and sounds of Portland…. She was anxious to set out again, to answer the call…. She awoke in the wee hours, and not being able to sleep any longer, she set off once again…. The ever-changing hues of her scales made her nigh on impossible to see in the night sky, and she was confident and secure in her element…..
She could not explain why she flew where she did; she just “knew” in her soul that with each beat of her wings she was that much closer to where she belonged….. Eastward she flew, into the sun, a celebration of the morning, a celebration of new beginnings…..
The winds were fierce above Hermiston, and much to her disappointment she was forced to land… Her muscles ached, her wings needed rest, she needed to feed and sleep….. Exhausted, she spiraled into a deep slumber…..
Neat. I’m not very good with figurative language like, but I love the imagery. Welcome to forums. 😀

Sun Dragon Koi #3She awoke late the next morning, surprised by how long she had slumbered…. Her first thought was to take to the skies, but her instinct said “Eat!” So eat she did, and the denizens of Hermiston commented frequently that day about the scarcity of pigeons thereabouts….
Well fed, well rested, she soared aloft once again, setting her direction south and east. She knew not her final destination, but she did know she was headed in the right direction….. She pushed on, and in the distance she spied the Rocky Mountains, the crags and peaks glistening with ice and snow…. As she neared them, the clouds began to build, to amass, and she reveled in the glory of the currents that kept her aloft, giving her wings a brief respite from the strain of flying…. High above the earth, soaring in the clouds, she was perfectly camouflaged, her creams and whites blending with the colors of the clouds… A ray of sunlight stabbed through, and brilliant flashes of iridescent blues and purples jumped from her scales, lighting the heavens with rainbow hues….. The gemstone in her forehead greeted the sun, capturing the rays, shining forth like a beacon to guide her on her journey…..
She had flown for more than 24 hours, and she could go no farther….. Knowing full well that she was not yet at her destination, but also knowing the dangers of trying to fly when she could barely keep her eyes open, barely keep herself aloft, she chose instead to rest again…. She was at the eastern foot of the Rocky Mountains, in a place two-legs frequently referred to as the “Front Range.” Sheltered in the lee of the mountains, basking in the warmth of the glowing sun, she drifted off…. “Commerce City” was the last thing she remembered seeing before sleep overtook her….

Male Hearth....one day🤞Dream on.Her body slept the deep sleep of exhaustion, but her mind was ever so alive with dreams….. And as with most dreams, much was left forgotten when she awoke…. But not all….
She remembered the shell, and her own hatching as she struggled to break free of its confinement… The Creator was there, as was she always from the beginning of time, to shape her and mold her into the exquisite being she had become…. And while the Creator breathed life into her soul, it was the other, “Nam,” who gave meaning to her existence…. It was this “Nam” who made her who she was, a dragon like so many others, and yet unique, individual, the only one of her kind…. She was, indeed, surrounded by kinfolk… And yet, oddly enough, she was alone….
She recalled her former home, her family, dragon and non-dragon alike… And she recalled that with the blessing of both the Creator and Nam, and a goodly amount of tears, she followed her heart to seek her new beginnings….
