The MIGHTY DRAGONS of the SECRET REALM By: Rick Shell a.k.a., The Artist Rizioule, Bringer of Music and Light! Written Aug 23,2012 Edit 3 — The castle I see so far away hides many memories of forgotten days where Knights and Dragons struggled for right, The Knights by day and the Dragons by night… …for a long time the knights and soldiers of Castle Land fought against a family of dragons who lived far off in the hills. The young men throughout the kingdom were always trained to fight the dragons and would travel in packs and slay them where ever they could be found. One day though, a child was born who grew into a great king, and he thought about things very deeply. He realized that the dragons had never attacked the castle but the people of the city were always searching for and killing the dragons. So he decided to travel into the deep forested hills and find the dragons and speak with them. He traveled alone because he knew that the path to truth could only be found on ones own journey. For days he made his way through the thick forest, seeing many strange and wonderful creatures along the way. Then one day, he saw a dragon, flying in the sky, as beautiful as a rainbow, as majestic as a mountain, and he dropped to his knees and he cried for all of the lost beauty that his people has caused. He resolved in his heart to find the dragons lair, and seek to make amends for the horrible crimes of the past centuries, and his journey continued for many more days. These days were filled with powerful thoughts and he found great energy in the forest. Every day he could see the world, and life, more clearly. This dragon quest had become a quest for the truth in his own soul. It came to pass that by the time he had been in the woods for 30 days and for 30 nights he had become a new man with a new perspective, and he knew what he must do… He must find the dragons and offer them a place in the kingdom. so he walked… some more… His feet hurt and his breath was like soured sow belly in the hot July sun. His clothing was ripped and torn and his beard had grown long and shaggy. If he could see his face in a looking glass, he may have been tempted to turn back in his journey, because he was a fearsome sight, and more than a few flies followed him. Yet he was conscious of none of these things. He was set in his mission , and he traveled on… One day, he came across a large broken piece of egg, and he looked up in the trees to see a giant nest, as large as a palace. The great nest spanned the top branches of many great trees and its shadow was like twilight. A rush of fear swept through him as he realized where he was, and that his life could be in mortal danger. He had reached his destination, and he had not even known it. He stepped closer into the shadow of the great trees and scanned the sky on the outer edges of the giant nest. Before very long, he saw a small dot in the distance growing larger against the backdrop of the horizon. The small dot grew larger and then another dot emerged in the far distance. As the first dot grew larger still, many more dots appeared across a brilliant red and orange sky. The DRAGONS were coming home! His heart was beating fast and his legs trembled as he watched the dots become giant creatures filling the sky. They’re numbers were in the THOUSANDS and they flew with grace and dignity, The sight was beautiful,..and humbling… and terrifying! The closest Dragons flew in and disappeared over the top edge of the monstrous nest. The ground shook and the air churned from the beating of the mighty wings. Where had these awesome creatures been? What journey wert they returning from? So many Dragons were coming in now that the noise was almost unbearable. The wind was blowing like a tempest and smaller whirlwinds circled here and there. Suddenly, amidst the roaring wind he heard a Dragon scream. It was a noise unlike anything he had ever heard or imagined. Soon he knew the reason for the scream. A flying Dragon had spotted him! The Dragons thunderous scream alerted the other dragons in flight and they all veered their flight path in his direction. Very quickly they were swarming into the trees under the nest and they surrounded him. The creatures stood on hind legs and had heights of more than 200 hands and wingspans of about 450 hands. Truly gigantic beasts. They all surrounded him and began chanting, “Who is he, who is he, who is he?” The noise from all the dragons chanting was too much to bare and he covered his ears and dropped to the ground. Then he heard the loudest voice of all say, “SILENCE”! … and all noise died in an instant. The disheveled king looked up to see a GIANT DRAGON, much larger than the others, standing above him. “Step out into the light traveler, Let me see you with my old dragon eyes”. The king was too terrified to move, his eyes were as big as patties dropped from a looooonng legged cow. The giant dragon spoke again… “Move into the light or I shall need to pull you from the darkness.” The king, looking wide eyed at the dragon the whole time, made his way over to the edge of the nest above, where the last light of the day was still twice as bright as the darkness under the nest. “Well a fine sight you are” said the giant dragon. “Do not fear my teeth, I certainly wont eat you foul traveler! What is your reason for being here in our secret land?” “I..I am the king of Castle Land, and I have come to see who you are, and to make amends for the centuries that our people have hunted you and taken away your family and friends. I want to offer you peace, and invite you to our kingdom as friends.” The Mighty Dragon replied, “Well, you hardly look like the “king” of anything! But I see in your eyes that your heart is heavy and that your words are true.” So I will tell you who we are… We are the spirits of the secret 7th dimension. It is only in this magical land that we can be seen. In all other realms, we are invisible. To other worlds we are only fantasy, and children dream of us. But many become enslaved by dark powers that seek to dominate their realms. The powers tell them not to dream, because there is work to do to benefit the crown. We Dragons of the Secret Realm see all of this through our magical eyes. we can see through the realms and we can see through time. Your people have hunted us and tried to destroy or change the great spirits within us, and each dragon that was lost had a special purpose. All living creatures do. All of those dragons never fulfilled their destinies and that has left holes in time, and has altered many events throughout history. The spiritual death of one of us echos throughout all of the realms for eternity. So there is no redemption for the things you have done. The damage cannot be un-done. You may offer me your kingdom, but what is that to me? I am a spiritual being and I need nothing in your kingdom. we have our own realm where our spirits are free to wonder and explore and grow. Through our growth and change, the whole world is changed. All of the realms vibrate from our energy. We are the rhythm of life, and our power flows from our collective force. If you seek to change the past, then I cannot help you, young King, but if you will change the present… then you will most certainly change the future. And that is the GREATEST THING that you can do for the MIGHTY DRAGONS of The SECRET REALM.” >>> With that the Great Dragon scooped up the king and flew him high into the sky, all the way back to Castle Land where the people were very happy to see him. From then on the humans of Castle Land became part human and part spirit, They were called Faeries and they always worked with the Dragons of the Secret Realm to create a more beautiful and happy world. —The END *** Written By: The Artist Rizioule, Bringer of Music and Light! —Castle Stories will continue shortly!— Share!
