*I don't own Jane and the Dragon or its Characters

Looking over the land of Kippernia, it looked so much smaller than I remembered. When I was young I was as free as a bird, me and Dragon went wherever we wanted, whenever we wanted. There was many battles won but at great cost every time. One by one my comrades were sent to their graves either by natural causes or in battle.

Kippernium is a bustling city now, so different from the small village it used to be. My life was full of such great joy and sadness. My friends are all gone now. How I outlived them I don't know but my time is running out. My oldest friend sits beside me while I quietly think. Despite his age he still feels young. My life was a drop in the bucket compared to his but I enjoying every bit of what it meant to as a short life.

When did I get old? I don't know. It's like I was born not long ago, it's wasn't long ago that I found Dragon, it wasn't that long ago that I married the men that loved me. My children that I bore with my first husband Gunther and my children that I bore from my second husband Jester, they live on carrying on my legacy. I truly loved Jester most, who I would have married first if my parents hadn't promised me to Gunther. But it wasn't so bad, Gunther was very kind to me so I likewise was a good wife. When he fell in battle, I truly felt remorseful but like the sun, Jester who was always there for me kept me safe and warm.

Marrying me soon after Gunther died, Jester and I lived the life we had planned to. Losing him was perhaps one the hardest things, but I don't hold a grudge against him. It's been a few years now, and I'm finally going to be alright. We all have a short time to live. Soon I'll be gone, I'm not sure when but I know it's soon.

Till this day Dragon takes me to his cave where we talk about his day and the many adventures he has with my great-granddaughter. Would I live my life all over again if I could? Yes I would, for it was a happy life. Time is running out, and I know I'll be gone soon. But until then, it's me and Dragon together, till the end of my days.
