Annabel Lee - Edgar Allan Poe 1849

Annabel Lee

It was many and many a year ago,

  In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden there lived whom you may know

  By the name of ANNABEL LEE;--

And this maiden she lived with no other thought

  Than to love and be loved by me.

She was a child and I was a child,

  In this kingdom by the sea,

But we loved with a love that was more than love--

  I and my Annabel Lee--

With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven

  Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,

  In this kingdom by the sea,

A wind blew out of a cloud by night

  Chilling my Annabel Lee;

So that her high-born kinsman came

  And bore her away from me,

To shut her up in a sepulchre

  In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,

  Went envying her and me:--

Yes!that was the reason (as all men know,

  In this kingdom by the sea)

That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling

  And killing my Annabel Lee. 

But our love it was stronger by far than the love

  Of those who were older than we--

  Of many far wiser than we-

And neither the angels in Heaven above,

 Nor the demons down under the sea,

Can ever dissever my soul from the soul

  Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:--

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams

  Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes

  Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And so , all the night-tide, I lie down by the side

Of my darling, my darling my life and my bride,

 In her sepulchre there by the sea--

 In her tomb by the side of the sea.

Golden Dragons

The Golden Dragon

Although the Golden dragon isn't in any particular family group of the dragon. The Golden dragon is

History of the Golden Dragon~
The Golden dragon doesn't belong to any of the typical three three elements - Earth, Water and Fire. By nature he embraces all three. However the Golden Dragon does have an element of his own and that would be the element Air.
But either of the main elements will predominate in him alone. 
The Life of the Golden Dragon~
The Golden's are quite beautiful in comparison to any of the other dragons. This could be that their scales and wings are made of an scintillating burnished Gold! But even if he has all this beauty he is a  noble dragon and doesn't boast about his looks. 

There is another dragon called the Celestial Dragon that I will cover at some later point that has

some of the same qualities as the golden dragon.
The Celestial Dragon is from Ancient China and is a symbol of the Chinese people around the world.  They proudly proclaimed to be a

descendants of this dragon. The Ancient Chinese people feel that the Celestial dragon is refer as divine and will bring ultimate abundance, prosperity and good fortune. 

Some say, that only three knights have actually set their eyes upon the Golden dragon and only one 

single man has even been a friend to a golden dragon. 
To understand something of this mysterious, there was supposedly a BOOK OF THE GOLDEN DRAGON. This book of all the secrets of the dragons was handed down from generations for centenaries but who knows what happened to the BOOK? 
Culture~ 
Tradition says that the Golden dragon has never taken part in any aggressive action whatsoever. He

is pure and unsullied by any flaw. 
He has also been know as the keeper and defends and the enchanted castle where a pure hearted knight who devotedly helps guard what is know as the Sacred Chalice- 
The Sacred Chalice~ is said to have hidden font and quintessence of wisdom encompassed by a double principle. The meaning of of the Chalice is- 'Life Secrets lies In Comprehension rather than Knowledge' . 
This subtle, supernal message, has to be concealed from the minds of humans because they are not yet ready for this KNOWLEDGE! 
ONLY THREE KNIGHTS HAVE EVER BEEN SUCCEEDED IN REALIZING SOME OF ITS MEANING AND THE MESSAGE. 
AND ONLY ONE KNIGHT WHO WAS FREE FORM STAIN BECAME ITS TRUE CUSTODIAN. 

So it was said - when the two Companions, the pure-hearted knight and the Sacred Chalice were then Transported away by the Golden Dragon with a promise that they would return to the outside world when the dwellers of this world were worthy of the Sacred Chalice and its knowledge. 
The Castle of the Golden Dragon~

The Castle is made of pure Crystal and is hidden in the heart of a ancient Oakwood forest in a Enchanted world. In this Castle is where he is watching of the Guardian Knight until the illumination of the Sacred Chalice can be accepted onto the Earth.  
The Prophecy~
It is prophesied that when this happens every single dragon on the earth will take flight to meet the Golden dragon, to carry on their backs  the chosen men who will finally solve the enigmas of the Chalice-
The Prophecy states that once humankind is properly enlightened, humans, will eventually pay homage to the Golden Dragon.

It is said that through this Grand eventual revelation all nature will be cured of its terrible destruction,fear and hatred will be purged from the earth. 
Peace will gradually break out instead of War and a dawn emitted from the Sacred Chalice will bathe our weary world into the Golden-light of a New World.

Note-
This of course is either Myth, legend, or how much one wants to believe in Fae? Or it very well could be true who know! The legend of the Holy Grail and other Holy legends - That you can't explain or SEE?  

The question that I ask you is do you believe in the possibility that there may be a golden dragon, a sacred chalice that will purged the earth of our destructive ways we have done? Do you believe in the unseen world of the faerie world, elves, mermaids, and other creatures of the unseen world. Just because you can't see don't me they aren't there!

But please do enjoy the artist that do draw

& the Celestial Dragon too.

    

Faeries - J.R. Tolkiens

*Faeries*

I am off down the road

where the fairy lanterns glowed

And the little pretty flitter-mice are flying

A Slender band of grey

It run creepily away

And the hedges and the grasses are a-sighing.

The air is full of wings,

And of blundery beetle-things

That warn you with their whirring and 

their humming.

O! I hear the ting horns

of enchanged leprechauns

And the padded feet of many gnomes a - coming!

O! the lights! o! the gleams! O! the little twinkly

sounds!

O! the rustle of their noiseless little robes!

O! the echo of their feet-of their happy little

feet!

O! the swinging lamps in the starlit globes.

J.R. Tolkien

There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. 

There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there

arent' any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to 

fairies?

Fairies - Arabella Buckley

~Fairies~

There are forces around us, and among us, which I shall ask you to 

allow me to call fairies, and these are ten thousand times more wonderful, 

more magical, and more beautiful in their world, than those of the

old fairy tales...

Just go out into the country, and sit down quietly

and watch nature at work. Listen to the wind

as it blows, look at the clouds rolling overhead,

and waves rippling on the pond at your feet.

Hearken to the brook as it flows by, 

watch the flower buds opening one by one, and

then ask yourself, "How all this is done?" Go out in

the evening and see the dew gather drop by drop

upon the grass, or trace the delicate hoar - frost

crystals which bespangle every blade on a winters morning. 

Look at the vivid flashes of lightning in a storm, and

 listen to the pealing thunder and then tell me, by 

what machinery is all this wonderful work done? Man does

none of it, neither could he stop it if he were to try; for 

it is all the work of the those invisible forces or fairies

whose acquaintance I wish you to make. Day and night,

summer and winter, storm or calm, these fairies are

at work and we may hear them and know them

and make friends of them if we will.

Orange Dragons

Orange Dragons-
Represent vitality, movement and all forms of activity. The colours is good for sexual energy. The

same energy used to stimulated creativity. He rules the skin, reproductive organs, organs that are connected with movement of the body fluids that increase circulation to. 
This dragon moves about taking in the beauty of life surrounding him and blending into his surrounds and at other time will become part of nature.
The History of the Orange Dragon~
Orange dragons are one of those quite rare species of the dragon too. And they are quite a powerful breed which alot of folks may not know of this special quality about them. They have been know to even exist today but are well hidden.
They are a very wise and noble creature, that seek to maintain a perfect balance between good and evil and have deemed themselves protectors of this balance in the world. Although they are the most powerful dragons - They do not  boast about it! 

They prefer only to live peacefully in their Volcano lairs until the time comes when the balance is threatened - when this happens they will stop at almost nothing to restore Peace.
The life of the Orange Dragon~
`At birth, the orange dragons scales are dull yellow or a peach in color. They will turn to a dull orange at the end of the young age of the dragon and will turn the bright shiny orange once they have reach a young adult. 
The orange dragon can speak their own language plus 20% of of them will be able to communicate with any intelligent creature all over the world. 

Orange dragons will make heavy use of their magic talents in battle. Especially their elemental fire spell, but will usually begin combat by using their disintegration breath weapon to try and ward off their attackers and spare their lives, which has proven to be very effective tactic. 
Special Breath Weapon abilities~
Orange dragons have two breathe weapons~
1) A Cone of magma can get up to 80ft long - 10ft wide at the mouth of the dragon and 50 to 60 ft wide at the end of the breath. The magma expelled by the dragon will continue to burn for additional two to three rounds depending on the age of the dragon. 
2) The second breath weapon is ~  
a cloud of disintegration gas that is 50ft long - 40ft at the mouth and can spray up as high as 35ft - 50ft high. The cloud is a spell and its devastating effect of gas only to non - living tissue.
Orange Dragon's Lair~
The orange dragon's will almost always live in Volcano's. They preferred active ones over dead

ones. These dragons will usually create dozens of tunnels surrounding their volcano lair. A fair amount of these tunnels are most likely filled with molten lava. These dragons will horde their treasure there and will always magically protected their lair with a spell. It will also keep large lava flows in between the tunnels and in the lairs entrances. This is done so that no matter what direction you try to access the dragon's horde, you will need to bypass a large quantity of molten lava flow, this of course is usually more than enough to safeguard its treasure. 
Orange dragons are usually very protective of the lairs, but if there is no sign of an immediate threat or they hasn't been anything stolen they usually will allow the trespasser to leave. 
Orange Dragons Offspring~
 Orange's are excellent parents and are very protective of their young ones. They prefer for their

young to stay in their lair until they reach Jr. age. 
Friendless with other dragons~    
Oranges have a fondness for humans too - But not in the way that the Silvers and White dragons do.  But they do have a connection with humans, so you are probably wondering what they do with the humans? Well on rare occasions they have been known to take human riders and aide humans on adventures for a time if they deem their cause worthy and it doesn't upset the balance of the world.
Orange Dragons are very wise and live only to server the balance the earth.
I found the Orange dragon fascinating, when I first started to research the dragon I really didn't have any idea what the Orange dragon was about. I thought at first he was just a fiery dragon that loved to live in a volcanos and protect his treasure. Well I was way off as you all can see from what I've posted here.

I also found a very interesting bit of history about the Orange dragon that I would have never guess this to be true about the Orange Dragon, He has many similarity to the Chinese Orange Dragon. At a later date I might do another post of this similarity or just about the Chinese Orange Dragon.
