Even Dragons Need Love

Written By Chaeya Robles

This scene is a from the movie “I Am Dragon” and is filmed in Russian, but has subtitles. It’s available on YouTube films and on Amazon Prime.

For all you Romantics out there, this film is one of my favs because it’s a dragon shifter story that captures the pure essence of a Beauty and the Beast situation. The story takes place in a long ago time in a small province in Russia. The movie begins by showing the villagers having a bit of a problem with a dragon, where they were forced every so often to give up a virgin to him to keep the peace. On this occasion, the dragon picked the wrong girl because her betrothed was pissed off enough to where he figured out where the dragon lived and wound up slaying him. And peace reigned throughout the land . . . or so they thought. Fast-forward to some years later, we have a duke’s daughter preparing to wed the grandson of the man who slayed the dragon. Grandson thought it would be a good idea to reenact the old ritual and sing the old song that was used to summon the dragon. Little did they know, the dragon had a son, and he’s the new guy . . . or dragon.

I can’t go on without giving away spoilers, so you’ll have to get the movie and watch it. For all the action hounds and those on team girl boss, this film will be too subdued for you. It’s straight up Romance. Which is great for an evening of chill. If someone asked my why I loved this film so much it was the: (1) the romance; (2) the setting - the cinematography and graphics are awesome, very well done; (3) Miroslava, our female protagonist, is excellent. She’s not out there trying to be a girl boss, but neither is she a damsel in distress either. She’s what you would expect most women to be in her situation: proactive, resourceful, and has a strong sense of self and takes no crap off anyone without being bitchy; (4) Armand is a lonely dragon who, outside of his father, has never had any type of human companionship, let alone ever been around women. Besides being very dreamy in appearance, he does what many guys do, kick back and lets Miroslava run the place and tell him what to do, all under the guise of teaching him to live like a human; and (5) the attraction between them is apparent, but it’s paced very well - not too fast and not too slow - and it makes sense and is realistic in its unfolding.

If you need a movie with beautiful graphics and cinematography, a good soundtrack with modern music, and excellent storytelling. I also like how nothing seemed rushed and everything tied up well at the end. You’ll be satisfied.

Like many young dreamers, I set out from St. Louis, Missouri, at the age of 19 to California where I started out as a singer/songwriter back in the early 1980s, and onwards to travel the world working as a studio session vocalist. When not singing, I spent my days being a vagabond misfit, traversing the streets of London - making my home there for six months - then moving to Zurich where I stayed for over five years where I traveled everywhere from Egypt, Venice, and Australia.

While in Zurich, I began my first small business called "Excalibur" where I sold metaphysical, pagan, and wiccan supplies imported from American artists. Living in foreign lands afforded me the opportunity to learn about many different cultures and gave me experiences which forever changed me into the person I am today.

I returned to the United States in 1993 and started a family, these years were immersed in work and motherhood.

After testing the waters with several other businesses, I finally found my niche and passion in jewelry and bagmaking in 2017. This is where Ev*A*Dream, the name of my band persona - The Empress of Ev*A*Dream - was born, and I have been here ever since, sewing and wire-wrapping away.

I am also an author and here you will find books I will periodically publish. If you enjoy fantasy lands as much as I do, I bid you check them out for those times you wish to get away from this hum-de-dum, everyday life.

I bid you welcome and thank you for stopping by my humble page. If you live or will be in the Southern California area, I would love to see you at one of my shows, even if to stop by and say hello. :)
