Against a hazy backdrop, they kissed until they couldn’t breathe. He knew she had to go, but he wouldn’t let her leave. Under the blossoming cherry tree, he professed his love, hoping, she would not flee. Still she moved away from him, afraid she would stay forever, which was his idea, all along, indeed, it was rather clever.

The sun was setting quietly, behind them, where they stood, not taking any chances, he kissed her, again, and kissed her good. She kissed him back quiet gingerly, then with a passion, sure; staying in his loving arms, was truly his allure.

A cracking noise from the building, followed by loud flapping of wings, and she knew he was there. For too long, the dragon had slept. The hour was upon the mighty warrior. Her army, fled, leaving her alone.

Fiery evil was held back by the golden shield in Myrina’s skilled hand. The queen would have to battle the blaze, until she could battle no more.

 

Authors note:  Michelle’s prompts for June are perfect for flash fiction writing.  I have chosen to do just that, each in 100 words, for the next 30 days. I hope you enjoy.  🙂
