There once was a young red and yellow fire dragon. He was just several years old, maybe even a hatchling. His parents loved him very dearly, and named him Apollus, to be shining like the sun, and a victor. When Apollus was young, he would often times wander into the woods, and fight off little bugs. He had a brave young heart, yearning for adventure and excitement
As he grew older, Apollus began his training to be a Sword fighter. His father made him a shining silver sword, imbued with his father, and mother's love. They told him, "Let us always be with you, in your heart, and mind. We shall fight with you, son."The day for departure came upon Apollus, he spread his wings, and took flight from the forest and mountains he once called home. His parents were smiling as he left to continue his righteous journey.
With his sword in hand, he fought many brave battles. Some against evil monsters, shadows, the wicked. A mystic told him, "Beware, a great evil is arising, you must be ready young knight." He knew in his heart, he had a heart of Justice, one that would defend the peace. She instructed him to find the armor of the ancients. The sacred armor, worn by heroes of the old, imbued with their spirits.
It wasn't long before Apollus had grown mature, acquired the sacred armor, and was prepared for the fight of his life. The darkness was inside everyone, it penetrated the light, utterly destroying it. The armor shone through the darkness, and it was deep inside Apollus, that he had the power to overcome evil.Things looked very grim when he was surrounded, everywhere by the master and ruler of darkness. All hope seemed to be lost, no way to defeat the darkness. He shut his eyes, and for the first time in his life....Apollus, had fear, and tears in his eyes.
He remembered, his parents. The people he had met on his travels, were all counting on him, him to save the world, and keep it from being corrupted.He was a dragon. A dragon knight. Silver sword, steel shield in hand, ready to fight. There's darkness and shadow monsters forming around him with red eyes. With a nod, he let out a roar of power, a call for strength, to his mother....to his father....to all those he cared about. His sword shone as a beacon of hope for the world, piercing the darkness. It burned with fire, his inner dragon spirit. He fought with all his strength and hope, never letting the darkness overcome the world he so dearly loved, he vanquished all bit a small orb of it."You can never defeat the darkness, that is in your own heart. You fight for others, but do you truly fight for yourself?" The darkness spoke to him.
It was time to vanquish the darkness once and for all, or let it be sunk into one and all's soul. Apollus dropped his sword, and accepted the darkness, he sacrificed himself for the good of others. He wanted a world of peace, serenity, and Justice. He took the darkness into himself, and let his heart of righteousness and bravery destroy the evil. ’Til his day, it is said that Apollus is a hero to the world. He is the bravest of all dragons, one who fights with courage, and beside others. He fights for balance, and for his dear ones.
Just like we all should, fight with hope, determination, righteousness, and love. The legend goes that it was his love for everyone that saved the world, it was the love between the people he had come to know, and the love of his parents.It's what we should live with, love. Compassion. Serenity. Peace. Apollus did what was best for everyone, not just for himself.
Here's just a short story I wrote up one day, just helps me to feel calm and at peace with what I can do. Hope you guys enjoy it.
