Montblanc

Dragon

Princess Clara

George

Rose Bush

Blood and Roses in Montblanc

Villagers crowd the square with offerings no one dares to keep.

Each sunrise buys one more day from the Dragon's hunger.

Smoke Over Montblanc

The same smoke hangs low as names are drawn from a wooden bowl.

She steps forward, chin high, fingers tight around a ribbon.

Distant wingbeats drum like rolling thunder.

The Lot Is Cast

The drumbeat becomes hooves as George rides through the gate.

He bows to Princess Clara and studies the horizon.

Steel glints as he rides toward the ravine.

George Arrives

Wind howls through black rock as the Dragon rises from its nest.

George plants his shield, eyes narrow, jaw set.

They circle once, then collide in a spray of sparks.

Clash at the Ravine

From that silence, the ground begins to breathe.

From the Dragon's blood, a Rose Bush rises, burning red.

George plucks one bloom from the Rose Bush and presents it to Princess Clara.

Each April, Montblanc remembers, and roses fill the streets.
