8 :Aquamarine:
I didn't expect to fall in love. Hell, I didn't know I could even accomplish a thing like love. Perhaps what I felt was respect or admiration, not love. But this arousal when I see him, when I hear about him, when I think about him... it has all the indications of lust, if not love.
There was something about him, though, that drew me. There was something about his will, his determination, his absolute belief in the purity of people. I had lived long and understood otherwise, but he had the naiveté of a child—dazzling and endearing.
She was like him, in a way, but she was a darker, lonelier child that he ever was. She was powerful and talented, but she lacked the faith that I had adored in him.
I didn't think I could fall in love with a wizard. Wizards were my sworn enemy. Perhaps what I loved were his aquamarine eyes, seemingly cut out of stone like little gems. Maybe it was that we were two sides to a whole—black and white, evil and good.
But he has died a long time now, and I am only a dragon trapped in a book.
