The Black Swan

From Atlantic Roleplay Wiki

Title: The Black Swan

Author: Herself

She was a gentle creature, light of bone and silken feathers that were at one with the wind.

Soaring through clouds, and on occasion staying afloat through the warm spring rains, she grew stronger.

The occasional dragon rushed by, huffing and puffing billowing smoke, and sometimes attempted to make a swift move to catch her in his mouth as he dove near.

So far, she had been able to avoid that encounter.

She lived a simple life, and was unaware that she was different in any way from the others who had nests near the edge of the river.

Until.............

The large drake with the red and orange feathers on his wings began to build his nest nearby.

He watched her, and when she left her nest he would fly very quietly to hers, helping himself to bits and pieces of flotsom from her nest.

Now... building a safe, comfortable nest was not an easy task, and she had labored long and hard to make it strong. Hiding it as she had, it was safe from the preying eyes of most.

But not the drake.
