Dragon Desk
The dark red wood
Shining in the light
Of a thousand lanterns
Lit with a subtle magic glow
Marks dance
Over the wood
Making it seem alive
On the legs
Dragons curl
Their feet touching the carpeted floor
Their steamy breath
Heats under the desk
So real
You think it will catch alight
The wings of the dragons
Are leathery and huge
If wood can be leathery
Yet you do not think of the dragons as wood
No
They are almost alive
You expect them to breathe under you touch
To fly away
You expect their breath to be hot
Burning you hand as you touch it
But it does not
The charter marks dance
Over all the dragon
Marks of strength
To aid the Abhorsen
That is why the dragons are there
To give the Abhorsen
Courage
Strength
Protection
As he banishes the dead
