Age of Dragons 

With the breath of fire

A look of deep menace

Swirling and curling in their hides

A dragon did exist once

Not as a myth or a legend

But as a living breathing testament

Of only one creature's power

To rule our minds

And be able to exist in every culture

If the Viking, Norwegian, Greek, Chinese or even the Indian culture has ubiquitously mentioned one creature, it has to be the dragon. The power and mystic of this reptilian being has been such that theories are abound that the creature must have existed in some form or other.
Maybe it was my recent cinematic experience where I saw Smaug rise from molten gold and proceed to desolate Lake-town or perhaps it was yesterday's Game of Thrones episode where I saw mere tiny dragons transformed into ferocious mutants ready to take on the world.
Whatever may be the reason, these creatures will always remain part of our culture no matter how modern or how old. That is the significance of these creatures and may the age of the dragons never die.
