In the eye of a dragon, a sword therein lies. If he be good and if she be good, toward the depths of Hell it points, willing the destruction of the demons and their king. If evil be he and evil be she, then to the Heavens it points, ready to be wielded, ready to kill.
A dragon may appear to be good or evil when he is not and she is not, but they can not change their sword on their will. You can always tell the nature of a dragon, by their eyes. The eyes are the windows to the soul, it's true. Among humans, it's true; but among dragons, it is truer.
The sword is like a persons soul, it can be changed for the better or for the worst. As I said before, not by their will do the swords change, but by truly changing themselves and their ways, weather for good or evil, the sword will change positions.
A rare few do not know weather they are good or evil, and they are easy to pick out, for their swords lay on their sides. They care only about themselves, and do what pleases them, weather it hurts others or helps them. They are not wholly evil, and they are not wholly good, they just are.

If you read all that, I'll be impressed!!!! It's just something I made up on the spot and wanted to draw. As you can tell (if you read the entire thing) this is a picture of the eye of a good dragon, and if you didn't read it all, it's STILL the eye of a good dragon!!!!!! I am actually VERY pleased with this, and I am hugging my scanner for doing a great job!!! IT WORKED RIGHT THIS TIME!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!

Done COMPLETELY in Prismacolors!!!!!

Colors used: metallic gold, black, olive green

Hope you like!!!!!

Part 1 – Yes, I do like that. I take it that you wrote it, am I correct?

I tend to hold to the idea that Dragons were real, just not in how we describe them. They were probably the flying Dinosaurs (such as the Pteranodon) if they had wings. Not all legends say they had wings. The other legends were probably of a walking Dinosaur (such as the Parasaurolophus).

I used those two examples because those Dinosaurs had crests on their head. These crests could have housed chemical chambers that when mixed would create flame, like the Bombardier beetle. I know evilutionists don’t want to say that, but as the article said, they’re biased, refusing to believe that which is right in front of their faces.

Part 2 – They can’t say that Dragons were real, or that Dinosaurs breathed fire, because The Holy Bible gives us descriptions of two large creatures. Behemoth in Job 40:15-24 and Leviathan in Job chapter 41. Behemoth, if you study the description, sounds like a Sauropod (like the Brachiosaurus {my favorite dinosaur}). Leviathan sounds very much like a water dragon. He even breathes fire!

I don’t truly believe he is a dragon, as Isaiah calls him a serpent (Isaiah 27:1). Even so, today’s scientists are forced to deny anything that proves The Bible right, as they hate the idea of a God who rules over them.

:-) Kerstyn Kaori Leigh replies: "Exactly!!! You seem to know your Bible, that’s good! "

I agree with Nathanael Herald Eisners comment. This concept is unusual and creative. Most dragons I’ve seen have cat like eyes. Maybe this sword is only visible in sharp light since it makes the pupil contract into a tiny slit. It’s the mechanism for cats at least...
