the Dragon and the Griffin.

A new War has broken out,
Purple haze slowly drying the mighty red flames,
A Griffin has entered the Dragon's lair,
wanting to take the throne.

There were roars and grunts from the dragon's snout,
Bursting flames in its throat.
The Griffin spreads her wings to intimidate,
Spreading it wide to boast.

The two creatures soared to fight,
in a whirlwind of fury and light.
The battle seemed to take forever,
taking countless days and sleepless nights.

What seemed never ending would suddenly end,
with the Dragon out of breath,
and the Griffin crippled at end.
What seemed to be the battle of ages
no one won.
Only spent energy,
Spent on none.

Both grew tired of the scourge,
retreated and stopped the onslaught.
from then on, an alliance was forged,
of the Griffin and the Dragon reborn.
