memorial dragon

He was the weirdest cat I'd ever had but also one of the sweetest little boys. He would sleep curled around my shoulders any chance he could, was completely OBSESSED with mayonnaise, and weighed less than a bag of grapes.

During two separate summers, I watched scary ghost videos and became hysterically afraid of sleeping at night in fear that shadow people would watch me from the corner of my room. I would keep my desk light on and stay up until at least 4am.

The only thing that managed to help me, both times, was Tiger. I figured, cats are supposed to be able to sense spirits, right? They usually start hissing and spitting and generally freaking out if one was near, but Tiger never did that.

So I would tell myself that as long as I had Tiger, I could sleep knowing I was safe.

That's what he did for me my whole life, soothing anxiety that nothing else could by just being there.

And even when he passed, he chose to do it curled up under my bed because I guess all along I was his safety too.

xxGoodbye’s are always hard.
xxIt’s with heaving breaths and the fresh threat of tears burning at the corners of the eyes.
xxHe had worked with many young dragons; the world wasn’t kind and it was his job to make it easier, to help them see that the darkness didn’t last.
xxThere was always that little light of hope that they could cling to, don’t give up just yet.
xxEach hatchling was a new challenge, a new struggle to see them into that light. Some adapted keenly, some needed gentler paws to guide them through their days.
xxI know it’s hard but I'm here.
xxYou cannot admit to having a favorite in such a line of work but Tiger wasn’t beyond acknowledging that he did; one in particular, a small Guardian (at the time when he started working with her) by the name of Kris.
xxHe had spent many years at their side; well over a decade, he reckoned. The growth had been slow and sporadic at the start, a push and pull of tethered emotions that rooted deeper than he had first known.
xxYou’re growing strong and fast, you wont need me to hunt for you soon.
xxSome days, he could only curl around the smaller dragon and provide the warmth of another's care to sooth them through the terrors that plagued their mind. Other days were much better (and those came more often the further into his care Kris lingered) where they played, where Tiger would insist that it is time for food now or even merely exploring the safe spaces they already knew.
xxAs all his hatchlings did, Kris grew under his care. At times, it was hard to differentiate them from an extension of himself; a part of his family. It was a long process and with each new step forward, Tiger’s pride bubbled that bit more at how far they had come.
xxYou’ll do great, I just know it.
xxThe days drifted from one to the other in an endless tide, coming and going gently under his wing but by the time he found himself looking up to them, it had felt like only months had passed instead of the years that had washed away the sharper edges of the Guardian’s trauma.
xxTiger would never claim to have fixed all of Kris’ issues nor made them vanish into the darkness from where they came. Instead, he had hoped that he had offered them ways to get themselves through that darkness without fear; finding strength in themself, allowing their head to stay tall even without him there.
xxI may not be here but you know that I’ll always be with you.
xxSo when the day came, sooner than Tiger had ever hoped, he swallowed back his shaking tears with a fonder sort of smile. It was their time to move on without him, Kris’ family had opted to move to another clan and Tiger’s work still held him to the responsibilities that he had among his current.
xxA small wicker doll of a Tundra nestled close under his wing watched with him as they left.
xxIf you need me, you’ll know I won't be far from your heart.
xxThe silence in their departure had left a greater hole than Tiger could truly have fathomed. The empty spaces that were once filled with the lively and larger form of a Guardian left a deeper ache that, in a short time, saw him leave his clan and depart for something… newer.
xxIt was time to move on from his duties to something calmer, steadier, for the later years of his life. Old hobbies were collected once more; tea-making and brewing seemed to be a far more ideal life, something to help heal by.
xxI won't forget you, I swear it.
xxIt was a year or so later that, after taking days away for the anniversary of it, a small feather-made Guardian doll had rested gently upon the counter of his cafe; the fleeting form of an Obelisk caught the corners of his vision before they watered heavily.
xxI hope you know that, whilst we’re not together, I'm at peace here.
xxYou never truly forget the marks others leave on your soul regardless of whether they remain at your side or move on.
xxRemember me fondly as I remember you in a time much warmer with me coiled upon your shoulders.
xxI love you.
