Finally after a long moment the dragon looked at Fred and decided to just
tell him the truth.
"I am not really an evil dragon.." He said slowly "That is why i do not
kill the people."
Fred knew that he was telling the truth
"If you are not evil then why do you terrorize everyone so much?"
The dragon took a deep breath and continued "once long ago before there
were many people living in these mountains and valleys...the skys were
filled with dragons.We lived in peace with these early inhibitants, and
never hurt anyone."
Fred stared at the beast in amazement, for the great dragon had started
to cry.
"One day an evil sorcerer decided that she wanted to use our power to her
advantage. She wanted to be the ruler of all the land,but the dragons
would not help because we were peaceful creatures.She got very angry and
swore that we would all pay for not doing as she wished. And she was true
to her word....she hunted us down and killed many until only two of us
remained. Myself and my brother."
Fred urged him to go on,this was all getting rather interesting.
"what happend next my unlikely friend?"he asked softly
The dragon continued with his sad story "she captured us both and told us
that we could either help her or perish like the rest of our kind..so we
agreed to help.."
Fred thought about what he had been told and was a little bit confused,he
had never heard of such a women.
"What happend to that evil woman?" Fred questioned
The dragon glanced down at him with sadness in his eyes and said "She is
the grandmother of your king."
Fred was taken aback by this imformation. The kings own grandmother was
responsible for all of the destruction.He couldnt go back and tell his
ruler this,the king would never believe him.He would think that the
dragon had lied and that Fred had lost his mind in not slaying him right
away. What was he to do?.....
