Dragonette

by Linda Rodriguez

5.The storytellers told us of an era filled with adventure, mythical creatures, and torment. Of oscillating battles between the worlds of light and darkness. How a discarnate demonic being emerged out of nowhere and crept deep into both worlds, establishing itself into the soul of the animal creatures. How a woman had her heart torn between the calls of duty and the love of two men; who were both powerful, yet in many different ways.
