Taming the dragon (by hisseefit) - First Raffle Prize
The pic was inspired by this song
Winter is still harsh there among the Italian lands, and icy winds blow among the vegetation, caressing its bare branches and lashing the last autumn leaves not yet fallen.
It rains, sometimes it snows. The natural rhythms slow down, and spring seems far away now.
However, this doesn't seem to happen among the quiet hills of the princedom of Valmeridia.
The wind blows, but it's almost warm by comparison. It hasn't snowed for a while, and the rain is much gentler on the first shoots that are already sprouting around.
The garden of the castle shines bright green due to the drops of water that wet the leaves, when around the sunset a traveling minstrel group arrives at the castle, coming from distant lands.
One musician in particular draws the attention of the vixen and the dragon. A cat, carrying a beautiful bone flute with him, that seems to hide magical powers!
Silva has no doubt, while during the performance of the group of minstrels, she whispers the news in the ear of Prince Borgon.
The dragon, however, keeps it for himself: he knows very well that magic is frowned upon in a good portion of the world, and if the cat has not yet flaunted his skills in public, it means that he cares not to reveal them.
So, at the end of the show, Borgon asks the musician to follow him for a private performance. Then, without being heard, he whispers that he would like something less usual and more "magical".
Tomleo, this the name of the black cat, nods and reveals to actually bring a story to the dragon prince as a gift: not, however, a story made up of words, but of notes.
When the evening arrives, reached one of the balconies of the castle, the black cat turns the movement of his fingers and his own breath into music, and as a pleasant symphony frees itself from the aether, a mist fills the air.
In a swirling cloud, the mist takes on shapes and meanings: images of the past, made up of hunters and warriors lost in the sands of time, begin to appear here and there. And in the cold breeze of the evening echo the notes of an old tune from a distant land, that now is no longer there after being invaded.
The dragon follows the enchanted figures with dreamy eyes, lulled by the melody that carries him far away in time and space, in the presence of memories and sensations belonging to other kingdoms and people.
A pleasant gift, that definitively allows Tomleo to tame the dragon, at least for a moment~
