The most exotic of all dragons, the only conceivable kind, and the only one I have ever found. Whereas I'm a melon dragon by title, this one exists solely thanks to the kindness of a friend of mine, Nick, that this dragon is around today.

...and no, I shall not be eating it, and you all cannot have it! *picks up the melon dragon and dashes*

...in all seriousness, this is a piece that I fear will not appear again, ever, and even if it looks simple, I am going to treasure this piece greatly. A keepsake of its maker, who made it for me without my needing to ask. He is, and was, a very sweet person.

This isn't a post for the sake of attracting views. It's to show what small, but genuine gifts a now passed on friend has given me. Nick made this for me...and I am very much going to hold onto it.
