Alpha Dragon
"Good, now sleep."
The dream is so real. Too real. The woman from my cell appears before me flying on Pegasus. His mighty white wings flap noiselessly as she stares down at me. "You have the heart of a dragon. To prove yourself, you must fly. Go to the perch and cast yourself from the tower. If you believe, your greatest wish will be realized." She fades away as I blink rapidly several times.
Dreamily, I stand from the bed and walk to the window then outside onto the perch. Peering over the edge, I'm not frightened and a tingling sensation spreads around my shoulders. Without thought, I lift my arms.
