>From the depths of Shadow-Chan's mind comes a brand new epic!
Say "Hello" to the newest series(I hope) on the block!
Let's hear it for...

            Dragon's Eye View
    A spiral of light and darkness.  That's all I can call it,
this..."sleep" phenominon.  Occasionally I can see images of the
future and past in it, but mostly I see only light and darkness
spiralling around each other...a continuing mesh of what can be
and what was.
    I probably don't make any sense to you right now, but then,
I'd be very suprised if you could understand me.  To understand a
dragon is to understand the universe.  As far as I know, no-one
understands the universe, therefore, as far as I can tell, no-one
can understand me.
    My name is Cat-ni-Corrine-vas-Arg.  In standard human
language, Cat, daughter of Corrine and Arg.  The reason for my
father's name is because he died shortly after mother asked for
his name...she replaced what his name might have been with "Arg",
because that's the last thing he uttered in this lifetime.
    The reason for that being that mother ate him.
    That surprise you?  Well, since mother had cast a spell to
make herself look human for a time, (she wanted to see what it
was like for humans to have children) and had sex with father,
she thought it natural that humans did the same thing as
dragons...namely that the females take a big bite of the males,
or sometimes even eat the whole person, after the first time
for sex.  Unfortunately, mother took a bite just a tad too
big...saying that she changed back to dragon form and swallowed
him whole.
    Apparently, she didn't enjoy the tryst too much.
    While some things can surprise even me, nothing surprised me
more than the fact that I, unlike other dragons, look human most
of the time.
    With most of the time, I mean that once a month, when the
moon rises, I shed my human disguise and fly the skies with my
bretheren, taking joy in the simple act of flying.
    The last time I shed my shell was three weeks ago.  Normally,
at this time, I go looking for another dragon to talk to, to
maybe fall in love with.  Unfortunately, I've had to live as a
normal human most of the time, for dragons usually take umbrage
to a human or even human looking dragon living in their midst.
But then, they get mad at each other when they pop in on each
other's territories.
    There are times that I envy the humans.
    That takes me to my current particular problem.  One of the
local humans has taken to following me around at times and
handing me flowers in front of his peers.
    Oh, I forgot to mention something about my father
earlier...My father was what you might call an exotic.  Well,
even that might be a little too light.  My father looked like he
was half human, half cat.
    Now, this might mean nothing to you, but to me it means a
great deal...especially when I don't fit in with any particular
group when it comes to anything.  I look mostly like a human, if
you happen to ignore my ears and tail...both of which scream out
my feline heritage.
    Now my mixed heritage is apparent to anyone who really looks
at me...but this human that says he "loves" me seems not to see
all this...he follows me regardless of the way I look.  For some
reason, I think he's blind.  Oh, well...that's his problem.
