"Talk to the pretty girl," hissed my haunted brooch.

"No," I hissed back, "She's working!"

"She's smiling at you!"

"It's her job!"

"...Show her your sword," the brooch suggested after a brief silence.

"I don't have that requisite anatomy and it'd be a crime if I did."

"What? No! A real sword; a saber, or a rapier if you're fancy."

"That'd be a different crime."

"If you'd listen to me, you'd have a sword and a girlfriend by now."

"He killed the last family of dragons."

The princess reined in her horse.
"Look," she said, "there's my ex."
The ladies who rode with her also stopped to watch a knight fight a dragon.

"Oh, we're still good friends," the princess said.
"That's nice. So, um. Who?"

To fly is to be free.
To read the winds is to feel the pulse of the planet. To outrun a storm, to ride the roar of a hurricane, to flow and let all flow through you, is to live.
We left, we dragons. When humans became too much of a nuisance we left.
The winds are better on Venus.
