Seren
The dragon spotted the little intruder, but för whatever reason decided not to alert his bonded to her presence. Nor did he stir from his spot, a mere shadow in the gathering dark; merely watched, and waited to see what would unfold.
Seren picked her way up onto and along the jagged rocks that surrounded the base of the lighthouse. It was a game she had played many times, but much of the challenge was gone now that her legs were longer. The drop to the water's edge below was not as far, nor was it an effort in calling on weightlessness to make one particular leap that had always seemed so daunting.
All it took was a skip and a hop, and for a moment the young woman seemed to float from boulder to boulder, impossibly suspended as her feet never once touched ground. When she landed, it was with a long, restless sigh... and quite on impulse she plopped down to sit on the flat surface. Listless and unable to maintain the fun when so much crowded her mind.

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved
In secret, between the shadow and the soul
