If I were a dragon

If I were a dragon, my scales would be a celestial green and my eyes would sparkle like dying stars in the moonlight.

My tail would be a sluggish comet trailing light years behind the rest of my body.

I would be the most magnificent dragon that ever lived, as legendary as the glory of all the constellations combined.

And, of course, being such an amazing dragon, I would always get first dibs on the unicorns.

Sorry, Fairy Folk, but you'll have to postpone your BBQ because when a dragon's hungry, there are never any leftovers.
