Dancing by the light of the Moon

tamed, even curled up with. Ridden, slain (a trick they pull, letting you think that you won).

  But first they will terrify you.

 Sometimes they seem harmless.

 It's not the battle that is key, it's the willingness, the wiley-ness. In my experience they appreciate the entertainment.

 Sometimes they are young. Still ferocious.

 And there is always treasure they hide, protect. You have to show you want it.

Raise your flagon. Cheers to dancing with dragons, your gorgeous, glittering shadow self.
