Magic...
The world is full of magic. It flows through every living thing. Every creature, plant, animal insect: they all possess magic. The earth itself hums with a mystical song. But by far, the two species that possess the most powerful magic are humans and dragons.
Dragons wield magic in a literal sense. Their breath weapons, their flight, the way that their aura of magic affects everything that lives around them. They are powerful - at the top of the food chain. Their magic is big, strong, and impossible to ignore.
Humans use magic in different ways. It manifests in their unique skill sets, their imagination, creativity, and power to invent and innovate. They build their magic. It comes from the inside out, enhancing their lives in subtle ways.
Perhaps we were never meant to coexist. We are so different, yet so similar. Always fighting for power and land. We will never be able to live peacefully together. We nearly destroyed one another. I witnessed it. I was involved in the bloodshed. And so I sit here, an old man, close to death, writing these words bitterly as my final say on the matter of humans and dragons. They are better off where they are, and so are we. In time we will forget them, as they will remain aware of us but never fully comprehend the fact that we exist. The thought pains me, and I think of my friends. I barely remember their faces. Perhaps I will see them again.
Perhaps not.
