A Tale of Two Dragons - part 3

The continuing story of Winston and Saphira

Into the Mountains

The little group headed through the forest....
Picture
 ...and soon found themselves in the mountains.
Picture
Picture
The terrain became ever more treacherous...
Picture
..as they made their way through a steep mountain pass...
Picture
"This way!!"
Picture
Picture
"Are you sure??"
Picture
"Yes. Just follow me!!"
Picture

Together in the Wilderness

Early the next morning, while the Elves were still asleep after their arduous trek the day before,  Winston and Saphira went off together to have some private time alone...
Picture
"This is a really beautiful place!"
Picture
"It sure is."
Picture
"It's one of my favourite places..."
Picture
"...and I wanted to share it with you."
Picture
"I'm so happy to have met you."
Picture
"Me too.  All our lives we thought we were the last of our kind..."
Picture
"...and now there's two of us!!"
Picture
"But we better head back..."
Picture
"I promised Willie I'd help make breakfast."
Picture
So they started back towards camp...
Picture

Breakfast

Willie and Winston were busy whipping up a hearty breakfast...
Picture
..for the Elves, who were finally up.
Picture
"This looks delicious!"
Picture
"It sure does!!"
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
"More pancakes, anyone??"
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
"Well, this has been delicious, but the sun has been up for a while now, and it's time to move on."
Picture
"Yes," he sighed, "we have a long way to go today."
Picture

On the Rocks

The sky became overcast and the wind picked up as they headed out along the shore of the lake....
Picture
"At least this is easier going than through the forest..."
Picture
"Yes, or over the mountain passes."
Picture
Picture
"We should reach our next camp by nightfall."
Picture
"I just hope it doesn't start to rain..."
Picture
Picture
Picture
But their luck held out, it didn't rain, and they finally arrived at their next camp just as the sun went down...
Picture

More Mountains

The next day they had to cross yet another mountain range...
Picture
Picture
..even steeper and rockier than the last one...
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture

Dinner in Camp

After crossing the mountains, they'd decided to take a break and just rest up in camp for a day. 
Picture
This time Winston offered to make dinner by himself...
Picture
Willie was only too happy to be able to just sit with the others and enjoy a meal for a change....
Picture
Picture
Picture
Winston had made all his favourite signature dishes...
Picture
..no doubt, to impress the lovely Saphira...
Picture
Picture
Even though Phairby was usually off fulfilling her Fairy Godmother duties, she usually made it a point to join them for meals.
​ "This looks so good!"
Picture
Picture
"It sure does!"
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture

A Bouquet of Flowers

While everyone was resting, Winston went and picked a bouquet of wild flowers...
Picture
He found Saphira.  "I picked these for you!"
Picture
"They are beautiful, and some of my favourites!"
Picture
"​Thank you so much!!!"
Picture
And she gave him a big hug.
Picture

Dragons in Love

Winston and Saphira tried to spend as much private time together as they could. 
Picture
They would get up before the others...
Picture
 ....so they could be alone together, just the two of them.
Picture
As the days went by, they became ever closer...
Picture
Until finally, one evening, it was Saphira who said it out loud,    "I love you, Winston..."
Picture
..and she gave him a big hug...
Picture
Winston's heart skipped a beat.  He had been totally smitten ever since the very first moment he saw her...​but had been afraid to say anything...
Picture
"I love you too."
