When you live for centuries, you experience regret more than someone who can reasonably expect a lifespan of three-quarters of one century. You experience sadness and regret, and you experience it often. I have lost loves. I have watched them grow old, and I have lost them. I know sadness, and I know regret.

I have never experienced sadness like this.

I have never experienced regret like this.

More than once, I have spent decades with a woman, the span of their entire adult life. I spent less than two weeks with Sienna, and yet now I feel hollow and empty. I was sad when my last lover passed on. I was sad, and I was bitter, and there were nights I felt profound unhappiness. I never felt hollow, though. I never felt empty. I never felt as though there existed no real reason to go on, as though nothing would fill the void.

What possessed me not to tell her to stay?

I told her to stay with me the first time, in context to having her vacation with me. She did exactly as I asked. I am certain if only I took a moment to tell her to stay permanently, she would be with me here now. What prevented me? I am certain she would have agreed. I am certain she would have done what I asked so why didn’t I ask?

I don’t know the answer to that question, but I suspect it has to do with the power of dragons in general. There is a roleplaying game that was very popular in the 1970s and 1980s. I believe it is still around but I’m not sure in this age of video games and easy entertainment if games using books and miniatures are still economically viable. I imagine they can just do all of these things on a computer now. In fact, they don’t even need to roll dice. The computer can generate the numbers randomly.

In this game, adventurers explored dungeons and killed dragons and other monsters. In the game, dragons are depicted as powerful and intelligent creatures, capable of commanding awe and fear. They are ancient beings that possess immense strength, magical abilities, and a legendary hoard of treasure. The part that always impressed me was the awe and fear. It was actually built into the rules of the game and characters running into a dragon might actually be forced by the rules of the game to turn tail and run with no choice involved.

Certainly, the dragons had impressive physical attributes, colossal reptilian creatures, with fierce claws, massive wings, a strong tail, and a scaly hide that ranged in color from metallic hues like gold, silver, and bronze to more vibrant shades such as red, green, blue, or black. Each color represented a different species of dragon, associated with specific elemental powers and personality traits.

The truth is, we dragons do come in different colors, but it is simply genetics in much the same way there are brunette humans, redhead humans, blonde humans, and so on.
