Dragon Song

By Jonathan Moeller

Dragons love attention, but wealth and fame can draw the wrong kind of notice.

I don't like parties, and I definitely don't like crowds, but I promised the dragon Delaxsicoria I would go to one of her concerts, and I've run out of excuses.

But I did save Delaxsicoria's life and she's a friend, so it won't be so bad.

Except some of her family's enemies have decided this is a perfect time to take revenge.

And unless I stop them, a lot of innocent people might die in the crossfire...

Dragon Song

I was sitting in my new office on a bleak December day when the dragon walked through my door.

Of course, he wasn’t in dragon form just then.

In his human form, the dragon Polvimrandur looked like a handsome, fit man in his late twenties or maybe early thirties. He had thick black hair and deep blue eyes and tan skin tone that was either Mediterranean or Hispanic and somehow conveyed vigor and health. He wore black dress pants, a gray jacket, a white dress shirt, and a blue bow tie. The outfit was a bit strange, but he pulled it off.

When dragons took the forms of humans or Elves, they almost always chose shapes of stunning beauty and intense charisma. Polvimrandur was no exception. In his human guise, he was Thomas Poole, history teacher at Thompson Street High
