~ Scatha ~
Yet Another Dragon !? No ..it
's THE DRAGON !!!
Those who recall the Lord of
the Rings, might have heard about the famous mighty dragon. But...alas
!.... not much is told about Scatha in that story, and the reliability
of that little which is told is very doubtful indeed !... he was
thought slain by the dwarves, but you know, those who are thought dead
live longer !... i remember my old cave in the misty mountains, when he
talked to celebrimbor secretly from the astral, who was greatest of elven
smithes in the middle ages ... magical rubies and emeralds, and golden
topazes were filling the treasuries !....
Celebrimbor was an elvish smith
so long ago, that even the wise don't always remember ....
neither was Scatha ever evil
of spirit... when the dark lord tried to ensnarl him, he was not willing
to subdue, but clever enough to use his magic to shapeshift into a shape
to the evil one's liking... and just that shape was, a mere hide, which
was slain by eomer and the dwarves of moria... it was a giant magical dragon
trick !.. he travelled the astral to fight the dark lord as an unknown
spirit.....
i am happy those times are over
now !:..*..*..dragon dancing merrily.*:.spilling red golden green sparkles
of joy.*.*.*.:....
