Imagine, waking up and feeling the cool spring air on your smooth face when you step outside to feel the weather. Then a shadow covers the sun and you look up to see what could possibly cover that much sky. That was once Harlequin.
These shadows now rule the lands and the skies. Their steps tremble the earth. Their tails cause raging winds. Their breath causes seasons to change and their wings can cause hurricanes. Are you scared or relieved to have them sharing the planet with mankind?
Harlequin. Every village from north to south knows that name as "The Vanquisher of Evil". There are many stories about this young Harlequin and there are many versions of his victories.

Soar
Please note: this is a third-draft story but is not revised. More than a century ago, dragons and the blue-eyed Shaderi flew together. Then they were brought down by jealous men who feared their power. Now blue eyes are a curse and dragons are a laughingstock, neither seen outside of slavery. Born a slave, her fair features mark her as a witch who is worth less than even the right to a name. He is a dragon who was raised in the arena, a life that left him unable either to fly or to breathe fire. Thrown together by an ambitious showman, they are united by a bond as old as the legends. Together, they have a hope for something more than the lives to which they were born, if only they can learn to trust each other. The words of a mysterious minstrel point them west, where rumors say their people live in freedom. The road there is hard, and at the end of it they find themselves a world embroiled in a secret war. This new world is ruled by a king who values tradition above all else. At every turn their new friendship is tested, and they are forced to decide how much they are willing to pay for a place to call home. He wants to help her learn the truth of where she came from, and she wants to give him what every dragon deserves: a chance to soar.Complete
