Floating all around I see a dream That taunts me As it sparkles Always out of reach Forever I have run Pace unchanging, Desire enduring, And forever I will run For my forbidden stardust I chase The impossible, The otherworldly, And yet I believe in hope I believe in dreams Someday, may I be Deserving of this dream That is my life For I believe in me

She stood alone atop the sand dune, scanning the sky for their approach. Her eyes were slits of deep violet, piercing in rarity. At a distant roar from overhead, she began to hum, a low croon that stroked the desolate horizons. Moments later, she felt them. Strong leathery wings beat the air, casting torrential gusts of wind through the desert, enveloping her in a whirlwind of sand. A wide grin split her features as she opened her mouth to sing, swallowing sand as she did. Her voice cut through the wind, clear for naught could resist her will. Dragons came into view, their wings flapping furiously against the power of her unearthly melody. A gleam in her eye, she pushed her song further, standing motionless even as the dragons fought their way closer.
