Metal Dragons have the longest life span
So he had been sent to prepare the land
For all of his persecuted brethren
A place for them to make their final stand.
He had watched and waited for many years
Holding alone that desolate shore.
Lonely, but ever faithful to his trust,
Forever waiting for those days of yore.
It was the Year of the Metal Dragon.
The copper dragon stepped into the sea.
Without other members of dragonkind
What good was it to be alive and free.
