~He gave himself up to save her~

He made the wrong choice now he had to pay the price.

√√√√√√√√

Careful little princess, careful little boy what you choose, for to consent, is to lose.

The dragon's mouth is wide, filled with bones. It reeks of death and human flesh.

With gold and diamond, he lures you in. 

He has beady pearls-flames for eyes, 

And like a sheep to the slaughter, you're served on a platter.

He never gets enough; for like a lion, he goes about seeking whom to devour—his sole desire.

So children, run, keep your concession, 

Or ye might be next. Ye have been warned.

Remember this tale...the serpent never sleeps.

Seth glanced down at the petite woman beside him. 


"Hope we have to leave now," Seth said steering her gently. 


Seth saw as her eyes adjusted to the darkness till they found his. 


She sat up resting her head in her hands. 


"Yeah, you were." Seth smiled, "How were we ever friends in Uni? You never liked staying up late, not even to study. It's like a taboo for you." 


Blushing red, Hope glared at him mumbling under her breath.
