There's said to be many types of dragons, but they're all called one thing.

A killer.

Monster.

Beast.

Murderer.

And so many more.

But...

They're not.

Why?

Well...

I've seen a dragon.

I've rode a dragon.

I've helped a dragon.

I've bonded with a dragon.

I've raised a dragon.

Dragons aren't monstrous killers.

No.

They love and hurt just like us.

They have a heart.

And I would know.

Cause I love and care for one and he loves and cares for me.

Many call me fearless.

Brave.

Strong.

Lucky.

Daring

Bold.

Confident.

And so on.

But really I'm none of those things.

I'm just a girl, who has a pet dragon, with a messed up past, and a lot of scars that I have no problem showing.

And...

A heart of a dragon
