People, please read the full description - it is not stolen. I wrote the music for the original. Fiddlegriff made this for me to put on my channel. The original is linked in the description. Thank you to all who have posted kind words. I'm very lucky to have worked with this talented animator.
Dave Volpe I wrote a comment on the original video that is essentially a continuation of the original story can I copy and post it here so you can tell me what you think?
Dave Volpe the baby dragon is cute
Dave Volpe I love the baby dragon
gonna say this was not as sad as I remember, I think I like this ending better
TheRectroDragon Yope I know I don't think it was supposed to be sad more along the lines of just beautiful I can assure you it was definitely beautiful this was a cute animation
There once was a foolish knight, hopeless in love was he with a maiden so young and pure you see. He heard tales of the crystal dragons, so strong and graceful they were a sight to see with crstals hearts that glowed like stars as precious as can be. They were treasured and held sacred, but the words of warnings he choice not to heed. To the mountains he rode as fast as the winds can be and there he climbed finding his prize he yearned to seek. Without a second thought he slayed a dragonling, claiming his prize and presented it to his love to be.
Little did he know those legends held true for a dragon's wrath it did consume, turning maiden into dragon all too soon. Scared she fled and unsure what to do. Along the way a friend she madealong with her lover too. She proclaimed, "You ruined not one life but two!" so they set off on a journey to the Dragon's Keep. Where surely there would be answers to their problems. A crystal they did find so large and pure but time was running out you see for that cure. A dragon so enraged appeared, for she knew they would come it seems. The foolish knight and the vengeful beast engaged in a battle of spite, blaming each for their pain. The foolish knight fel in defeat, the crystal heart shattered and gleamed no more and the curse had ceased. The beast then spoke, "A life for a life, return what you stole from me!"
Regret and remorse he realized the mistake he had made, "I was a fool, blinded by love it seems. I stole from you what you held so dear. Do as you please with me..."
The maiden cried, "Please don't let this be, you have your life ahead of thee!" was stopped by her friend, the knight's finally clear to them. The beast did rear and let loose her flame and took back was her's and off to the heavens with her child she did flew.
I loved reading this

Is that what happened?

Thats rait 💁🐉
You are right.
Lol
Hell yes
This music is actually WAY better than most trash released today. The animation pairs well with the music, and it actually gives the whole thing a real feeling of justice.
Let alone that, I know the animation at least, was made by one person over the course of a year.
Here's what I mean when I say 'justice'
As the tune of this song plays, you realize that the beginning and the end are the same, but with the ending being slightly different. The beginning seems to represent an action that creates the start of a journey, all the while seeming to tell a story. It visits this same action in the end, representing a kind of full circle.
We see this replicated in the animation, with the beginning action being the knight's killing of the baby dragon, (WHICH EVERYONE WHO WATCHES THIS AND LOVES DRAGONS KNOWS THIS IS A CRUEL ACT OF HUMANITY) and the ending action being the knight's transformation/"death", causing him to become a baby dragon.
So saying 'justice' from my perspective means that the knight received the consequences for what he did. His actions were justified by the queen.
On a separate note, this animation is way better than any animation Disney has done lately. A story told in 13 minutes was better than what Disney could do in 1 1/2 hours.
Music now a days has no soul because it was made by a generation who grew up being told they don't have one.
Lesson: Don't screw with dragons.
Grell Sutcliff Especially a mama.
yep
Took the word right out of my mouth
Did you know dragons are some of the strongest creathers
Grell Sutcliff fuck off lol
This piece has stuck with me years after first hearing it. Just closing my eyes and letting it carry me always invokes so much emotion. Thank you for writing this and I hope your career has been a fulfilling on.
Please please PLEASE go watch the full animation by Carolyn Chrisman, its a short animated film called "Reversal of the Heart" released in 2011. This video only shows part of the animation, you can see the full story on Carolyn's channel: FiddleGriff Animation.
EDIT: No no no he didn't "steal" the animation, he was the composer of the intro and outro songs to the animation. The animator has given him permission to use it and the composer gives full credit.
Pepper Theatre yeah its really good. It tells the whole story.
I've seen it. its one of my fav yt animations
I did feel like parts were cut out, so I will go find that.
I was wondering why this video seems chopped up!
hmm that might explain why i don't quite get this- cause it's not the full video, thx!
Me: This is cute!

This animation was so amazing! I loved the story and how the mom dragon got revenge for her dead dragonet. Truly art and I wish that I was as amazing at animating as you guys are. :)
I SMELL A WOF FAN
Such a beautiful melody. It reminds me of vikings and dragons and wizard and other mythological creatures..So soothing to listen to...
Watch the video
I didn't know vikings were mythological creatures
Satan he was referring to dragons and wizards but I can see why someone as unintelligent as you would get confused
Funny how you can tell my intelligence from one joke question poking fun at the wording of the previous statement.
+Satan you are an impersonation of Satan
You have amazing music! In our time, the avant-garde is so nice to listen to such heartfelt piano music! Creative success to you! Thank you for such an unearthly pleasure!
I lack the words to describe the beauty of this little musical. I have seen the full version of this and this one is no less fantastic. Well done. never meddle in the affairs of dragons for you may wind up paying the price.
When the mother dragon flew into the cave with all the other dragons I got full body chills.
Wow! This gives me so many Disney vibes! Love it!
This is WONDERFUL.
I LOVE DRAGONS.
It was sad I almost cried because the mother dragon lost her child but it was great
idk if your comment is insulting or not xD
Watch the full animation, reversal of the heart
so was the knight transformed into a baby dragon at the end or what? i also thought the baby dragon dying was sad
Werewolf Alvarez Same here.
The baby came back to life ♡♡♡♡
My sister was all like “I WONT CRY BECAUSE OF A VIDEO!” Showed her this and looked at her with tears in her eyes. Good video!!
story to all thos who dont QUITE get it...
a mother dragon is about to go hunting and nuzzling her son she tells him to stay in the cave and wait for her to return home. but as she leave soon after the little guy chases a butterfly back into the cave and soon a knight comes along with evil intent. drawing his blade he goes and he KILLS the baby dragon without mercy. the baby dragons mother senses something is wrong due to there connection and the soul bond a mother and child have and she flies back to her cave to find her son dead she then flies to the cave of dragons where the all seeing crystal is and behind her are others of her kind and they watch what happens before and after and they see the knight killing the dragon mothers son and stealing his soul gem, at least that is what i call it, and he places it to a golden necklace and rides off to meet his love the princess. but unknowing to the knight there is a cures placed on a dragons soul gem and that if it is taken from dragon without mercy or kindness or given up freely it will end up bestowing a cures on the one who wears it turning them into a dragon themselves until the cures is lifted. the knight after seeing his one true love being turned into a dragoness from the gem he stole he seeks out a wizards help in turning her back. the wizard goes and tells him that the only way to lift the cures it to destroy the the gem around her neck to free her from the dragons cures. meanwhile the princess who is now a dragon is on her own and all a lone.she had to flee her home after she was turned into a dragon. not knowing what to do she flies off to a meadow to think about what is going to happen to her now when it starts raining. the princess seeks shelter n an old barn and lays down to sleep but soon the mother dragon finds the princess and brings her to the dragons cave home where she is to live out the rest of her day. she had asked the wizard to accompany her cause they wizard was her best friend back home in the castle and he had found her a few days ago when the knight asked for his help in freeing her from the dragons curse why he went to the dragons cave to kill the mother dragon. and the mother dragon allows this but by the time they get there the knight was already there waiting for the mother dragon who's child soul gem he stole. he and the mother dragon end up fighting and seeing that she was in danger the princes goes and she jumps in front of the mother dragon protecting her and once the knights blade comes down to end the mother dragons life it hits the soul gem instead throwing the princess back. the necklace falls off her as the wizard holds the princess in his arms and she changes back to her true self. and as this happens the mother dragon goes and she pushes the broken soul gem to the knight as its power goes and lifts from the gem and looking at him with cold eyes cause of what he done. finally realizing what he had done the knight falls to his knees and excepts his fate by the mother dragon. she goes and using the soul gems power she breathes fire on the knight as the princess and wizard watch not being able to do anything as he is turned into the son that was taken from her. taking hold of her new son she goes and turning around she flies off with her new son in her jaws as the princess,who is smiling knowing he will learn a good lesson in the end, as they watch the mother and son fly off into the night.
i hope this helps thos who dont quite get it with some parts missing here and there. this is the way i see it and feel it would go if some bits weren't missing hehe ^^
oh and moral of the story
DON'T FUCK WITH A MAMA DRAGONS KIDS! OR ANY MAMAS KIDS for that matter :P lol
Thank you
no problem ^^ i watched the full story of this and i was like SO off in many parts but i like my story its just as good OwO
When she(mother dragon) turned the knight into her son ,did the knight *JUST* turn into the baby dragon with his soul still inside
(Only his body has replace by the baby dragon)
Or
The knights *soul* has been *REPLACE* by the baby dragon
Which means the knight is DEAD
and the baby dragon has reborn?
Well idk but i hope u can answer the question :3
Welp..i cant really understand
English is not my first language :'
Carlata Jones you should edit that your reimagining of the story isn’t the true story because before I came across a comment long after yours I truly thought yours was how it was meant to be
Curse, Mother's, dragon's
0:24 I couldn't imagine a more beautiful sight
1:01 I couldn't imagine a more horrendous sight
2:49 I couldn't imagine a more exquisite sight
This is an awesome song, animation and story in one... simply beauty crystalized.
Your music is very heartfelt and moving
This was a really amazing story! I followed what was happening the whole time and I really love how well this was made. Honestly I'm touched and the music is beautiful yet slightly stirring and kinda keeps you on your seat. It really fits the story. I was sitting the entire time like "Oh my gosh what's gonna happen next?!" This was really amazing. Round of applause for you!
This would be too EPIC if this could be turned into a full length animated movie. I've watched this sooooo many times. NEVER tire of it. ALWAYS get teary when the evil, mean man kills that beautiful baby Dragon......
I know I'm 4 years late but..
There is a full version
Maybe not a movie per say because it's only 13 minutes long but it's called "Reversal Of The Heart"
Child, don't be frightened by the hunters as they creep
With me by your side, safe you will be
Silence in these caverns will drift you off to sleep
sleep
Wings of dreams will carry you off, so close your eyes child
Stars above will light us a path to sweet dreams
goodnight
sweet dreams child, sleep well now
Cold winds of the night blow by, I know that it can be harsh.
Moon hides in the clouds, shining stars to bring us light
And I will warm you here, in the cold of night. Little child I am here to cradle you in
my wings
Sweet dreams
Sleep well child
Small child
Wings of dreams carry you my child
Dragon's lullaby
Child, don't be frightened by the hunters as they creep
With me by your side, safe you will be
Silence in these caverns they have made you fall asleep
dream
Wings of dreams have carried you off, I'll keep you close, sweet child
Stars above will light us a path to sweet dreams
goodnight
sweet dreams
Sleep well
dream
dream

Dragon lullaby
The real lyrics?
:3
These aren't the real lyrics! I wrote these in like 15 minutes really quick at the time, I'm glad some of you like them though
Oh, my gosh I love dragons the animation is perfect this whole thing is awesome and sad and yeah. sadness.
And I get it now... the light purple dragon is the princess after the prince gives her the heart, and the wizard gets rid of it.
wow many likes
There's a full one called Reversal of The Heart if you're curious. I know this was like 11 months ago but just wanted to tell you.
I saw this ages ago, I'm so glad I found it again! It's a beautiful animation!!! It's powerful and emotional!
I'm fine, just sweating a little bit through my eyes.

no you were crying.
Don't mind me I just bleeding from my eyes
Mama I can't sleep." The young dragon said to her mother as he moves towards her slowly, the mother looked, and smiles gently towards the young one. "Can you sing me a Lullaby mama?" Before even his mother could speak, he spoke up with that as he looks upwards. "Of course I can..."
"Shut your eyes, don't you cry.
May the dragons be your guide.
Sleep now little one, it's time to go to sleep.
Rest your head now, and dream a dream.
Of you flying high in the sky.
Come now little one it's time to sleep, may your dreams be sweet.
Move across the fields, and to lay in your mothers arms.
Close your eyes tightly, I am here for you.
Mother loves you, and will always care for you no matter what.
Your mine little dragon...goodnight."
Did you come up with this?
No.. My Friend Did. She Let Me Use It :p
Recorder Fox oh my god that's fucking sad
Ashley Hidgarushi already said that in different video also called Dragon lullaby
It's amazing and sad at the same time
i remember when i watched it for the first time those 6 years ago and i cried back then
now i saw this on my main page and watched it with that nostalgic feeling 😭♥️
This is amazing! It's just so elegant and beautiful! The song makes it thousands of time better! Great job!
This is such a beautiful video. The music is enchanting and goes so well with the animation.
What an amazing story this video tells. Music is spot on. Beautiful symbiosis...
Aww she got her baby back!!! This is beautiful!
C est juste tros magnifique😭😢👌😍
😭 omg i got goosebumps everywhere!!!
Now I'm depressed and sad.but great song.👍
let´s cry :(
same though
That knight is a demon
Thank you so much for linking the sheet music in the description
Bro, I bout’ cried. That’s an accomplishment. Beautiful music, amazing animation, wonderful plot. Great job. I would love to see more like this in the future.
So cute each time I saw the baby dragon. I poured a river of tears when I saw the baby dragon get killed though and those tears went to joy at the end. I love it when animations like this have a happy ending.
I love the full animation of this and the music is amazing!
Its his song, not his animation. The animation you see is called Reversal of the Heart by Carolyn Chrisman (FiddleGriff Animation)
This was beautiful, and sad, and I'm crying like a baby.
Such a tragic, yet beautiful story. I love it.
I’M NOT CRYING!!!!!!!! Is just...DUST IN MY EYES!
I ALMOST CRYED!! THAT TINY DRAGON BABY, AND THAT EVIL MAN!!! 😭😭😭
one of the best things ive watched in weeks
How dare that guy kill that poor baby dragon
I know a poor innocent dragonet

This Video was SOOO Hard and sad...😢
Same I mean what the HECK?!? Who KILLS babys!?!? At least he got what he deserved!
Says the human. You've never killed anything for selfish purposes? The knight symbolises us!
Le genre de truc que je peux écouter mille fois !!!
guys. they credit in the description.
So beautiful I almost cried.
Beautiful work !😍😍
I cried because the Baby dragon was killed by this evil guy . 😢😢😢😢 the poor mother🐉
Une of the most beautifully songs and animations i ever see
Can someone help me? I'm a bit confused about what happened. There was a mother dragon and her child, the mother dragon flew away to do something, possibly collect food, while she was away the baby dragon was killed and its gem thing was stolen, the mother became angry and flew to a nest of dragons and used a crystal to track down the man. Here's where I get confused because it shows a dragon in a field all sad, she wanders for a while before entering a building, the gem necklace breaks and there's someone holding her when she peoples a woman, the knight's there then the mother shows up, kills him, he turns into her child and then they leave and then I'm left sitting there like "what just happened?"
Its from an animation called Reversal of the Heart by Carolyn Chrisman. Her channel name is FiddleGriff Animation, go watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/rHLwG3ioD4Y/v-deo.html
Ah thank you so much
Jess Kat this is not the full animation. However, this person is the composer to the song in the animation, which is actually “Reversal of the heart”
I got confused as well.
Jess Kat Ii
as i watch this more the more emotional it is and makes me cry harder
At first I thought this was a stolen video and I was about to get mad. Then I read the description lol. Beautiful song
Taylor Breckenridge
👍
this is a copied video
@@xxinfinitytigerxxaj1230 It actually isn't, this person composed this song for Reversal of the Heart and the animator of that in turn made an edit for the songwriter. It is actually quite common among filmmakers and the people who write music for specific animations/films for the cinematographers/animators to make a edit for the songwriter.
You should watch Wolfsong
The most beautiful thing I ve ever seen
Omg the lil baby so cute *continues watching*
WHAT THE FAQ MY LIFE IS RUINED *keeps watching*
Yeh :D
That was very emotional. I could feel myself wanting to cry.
That is one angry momma
well it is a dragon
This is dad..
?
not my main account sorry im czech😁
And i am one angry Skeleton that man killed the child and now he is going to pay in hell
0:44 I love it when an animations tone can change from My Little Dragon to Game of Thrones’s The Red Wedding in a heartbeat, Jamie really did deserve to have his hand cut off in season three, LOL 😂!!!
Wonderful music
So many feels with this
I’m in love with dragons more than you will ever know more than anyone in the world
Well then.... Are YOU a dragon?
no i am
This is sad sweet and just amazing at the same time it's really good
Why is it so hard for people to read a damn description.
I love the animation the colors story that has no words at all yassss
Poor Dragon 😭 I cried but a couple of seconds later... I don't know what to react..
But I love the song..
It's a good thing the young dragon came back he didn't know what was going
very few can portray emotion in melony, very well composed I will keep this for a long time.
I just cried
it's beautiful the music is stunning and relatable
I watched the longer one and the mother knew she couldn't get her little girl back so she took the one who killed her kid and turned them into a baby dragon so a life for a life kinda
I believe the person was exchanged to bring back the life of her lost child. But, yes, a life for a life exchange.
Bendy Straw I don't think so. The baby looked exactly like the one from the beginning and looked confused when it woke up. Besides, a mother wouldn't just replace her baby with another baby. But yeah, life for a life.
DarkCynder6 the baby had a purple stone but when the guy turned into a dragon it was blue also he most likely forgot what he did as a human and got the babys memorys and took the role of tbe baby dragon
Bendy Straw could be, but the stone could have been hued from the light of the crystal and cave
DarkCynder64 ok but the eyes were purple then they were blur
I'm not crying! my eyes are just sweating!!!
Beautiful
That was so.. mystical! I loved the music! It filled my heart with joy when I heard it.. You, have been blessed from an angle....
This is so good yet so sad
this actually made me tear up. Amazing!
That moment when your playing Skyrim 😅😳 great video btw
This left me in tears. *in real tears!* 😭😭😭😭😢😢😢
Very beautiful, I loved it, I cried in the middle of the video😢😢😍👌
