A Tale of Two Dragons

An original story featuring my two dragons, Winston and Saphira, and my House Elves by DreamHigh Studio
​

the Journey Begins

A group of Elves were on their way to see the King...
Picture
The delegation included Archibald, their High Aldwin....
Picture
...Sir Nolan, their highest ranking General...
Picture
...who rode a beautiful purple dragon...
Picture
..and Sir Gino, who rode a not particularly fierce looking polar bear.
Picture
They had already travelled a long way...
Picture
​...when they met Willie. The King had appointed her as Ambassador to the Elves since she was  from their kingdom originally.
Picture
As the King's representative it was her job to welcome the visitors and accompany them the rest of the way.
Picture

the Castle

The little Elf delegation finally arrived at the castle...
Picture
..with Willie leading the way.
Picture
The elves were impressed with the beautiful architecture...
Picture
"This is a really beautiful complex."
Picture
Picture
"..and everything is so BIG!!"
Picture
"If you'd follow me, we need to make our way to the Great Hall."
Picture
..and they went with her.
Picture
But the Elf delegation was awestruck...
Picture
"Look at those magnificent buildings!"
Picture
"I've never seen anything like them."
Picture
Picture
"I'm so impressed!"
Picture
Picture
"Some of them are hundreds of years old."
Picture
"But, gentlemen...the King is waiting. So if you'd kindly follow me."
Picture

Sending Winston

Meanwhile, Miho had called Winston, and it seemed urgent.
Picture
She told him that she had foreseen that he was about to meet a new, very special friend...
Picture
..and that he needed to go to the King's castle to see Baron...right away....
Picture

A New Dragon

So Winston flew to the castle, and found Baron in the Great Hall....
Picture
...just as the Elf delegation arrived....
Picture
...and they had a DRAGON!!
Picture
Winston had never seen another dragon before. He had always thought that he was the last of his kind. But here, in the Great Hall, right in front of him, stood another dragon. And it was a girl!!
Picture

the Elf Delegation

The Elves approached the King....
Picture
Picture
Winston was almost beside himself with excitement at seeing the other dragon, but he knew it was an important state affair, so just stood quietly and watched the proceedings...
Picture
Willie stepped forward...
Picture
"Your Majesty, I'd like to present the Elf Delegation.."
Picture
"I'd like to introduce Sir Gino, Sir Nolan..."
Picture
"...and Archibald, High Aldwin of the Elven Kingdom."
Picture
"It's an honour to be invited here to join your Kingdom Alliance, your Majesty."
Picture
"The honour is mine sir, that you have accepted our invitation and come here to join us."
Picture

the Treaty

The first order of official business was to sign the Treaty.
Picture
As a member of Lawrence's Kingdom Alliance, the Elves were guaranteed a peaceful coexistence with all the other member nations. 
Picture
They would have free markets for all their goods, and would be entitled to receive help in difficult times. Including military help. In other words, a pact of friendly nations looking out for one another.
Picture
Picture
Archibald read over the document.  "Everything looks in order.."
Picture
..and he signed it. 
Picture
Picture
Then after Lawrence signed it...
Picture
..it was Nolan's turn...
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and it was done.
Picture

Saphira

While the leaders were busy signing the treaty...
Picture
Willie introduced the two dragons to each other. "Saphira, this is Winston, a very good friend of mine.""
Picture
 "And Winston, this is Saphira." ​​Saphira took off her face guard...
Picture
 "It's so nice to meet you, Winston!" 
Picture
But Winston was awestruck, and feeling rather tongue-tied. 
Picture
However, Saphira was no shrinking violet. "It's so wonderful to meet you. I've never met another Dragon before, and always thought I was the only one."
Picture
"The Elves will be attending a banquet this evening, in honour of the new Treaty, but I won't be going."
Picture
"So maybe the two of us could find something to eat, and have a nice little visit?"
Picture

A New Friend

Well, Winston wasn't about to say 'no' to Saphira's suggestion..
Picture
..and left with the Elf delegation, who were headed to their rooms to rest up before dinner.
Picture
 Lawrence and Baron watched them go....
Picture
"So, we'll see each other later then...."
Picture
"I think Winston has a new friend."
Picture
"Definitely! I've never seen him so smitten."
