-Tell me a storyyyyyyy!!
-Hmm... what kind? Maybe a romance?
-Yes! No, wait... I like dragons. What
about a dragon's romance?
-Okay, here we go...
Once upon a time a dragon lived in
harmony with his dragon wife and their two baby dragons. They were
all very happy.
One day, the dragon parents were flying
together, looking for some meat for their babies when they saw a
human army getting close to their cave. It was too late when they
arrived to their cave. The babies were not in there. The dragon wife
was so upset, that for revenge she would kill every last human
around, but the male dragon insisted his wife not to go after them,
because they wouldn't be able to save their baby dragons.
The next morning, when the dragon woke
up, he realized that his wife wasn't in the cave and he knew it: he
knew that she was looking for the human army to destroy them. He flew
as fast as he could to avoid
his wife to go there but when he arrived to the human castle it was
too late. He saw her body, motionless, on the ground and a lot of
humans around her. He was so angry and he promised that one day he
would revenge his family.
Years passed by, years that the dragon
spent all alone. Every day was a torture for him. He had been
training a lot to be able to fight the army. And one day, he decided
he could not wait anymore and he decided to make the first move.
He went to the castle and said that he
would not stop destroying and burning every last rock of the castle
until there would be nothing left of it. The first day he burned an
entire tower down. The humans were so scared. This dragon was huge,
they could not fight it. They hoped the dragon wouldn't come back...
But he did.
The next week the dragon appeared and
killed every cow and goat the humans had. The next one, he returned
and burned as many houses as he could. The following one, he decided
to catch the king's daughter and bring her to his cave. But the
princess was not terrified. In fact, she was surprised, since she
recognized that cave. She was so small back then, when she went there
almost every day to see the baby dragons, her friends. She remembered
that day, when a stupid soldier followed her because he wanted to
marry her -he was forty years elder-. She didn't know she was being
followed when she arrived to the cave to see her friends... But, when
that soldier saw them, he ran to the king and brought back an army to
fight those dragons. The princess was surprised and angry but she
couldn't do anything to save the dragons.
The princess told this story to the
dragon and she saw a tear in his eye. She appologized, for she didn't
know he was their father... They spoke for so much time and became
friends. But that was not the end: on the meantime, the king had sent
the bravest soldier of the land to rescue the princess. The soldier
went to the cave and tried to defeat the dragon. However, the dragon
was stronger, bigger and more intelligent and the soldier was
defeated in a few seconds. He was about to get killed, for he was the
soldier that the princess told the dragon about, but she stopped the dragon.
She wanted to help the dragon, and she knew that killing that soldier
would not help him. The dragon listened to her and she realized that
the only thing that would help him was his own death. He let the
soldier and told him to dare to kill him with his spear. The soldier
got up and perforated the
dragon's chest. The princess was horrified when the dragon felt
death. There was a rose under the blood of the dragon, in the green
grass. That rose was exactly the same color as the blood of the
dragon. She caught the rose and a tear appeared in her eye. But there
was no reason for sadness. The dragon now would be happy, again with
his family. The princess thought that she couldn't tell that story,
for no one would thing it was real. She told everyone that the dragon
was killed by a gorgeous soldier, named St. George. Because St.
George was the name of the dragon, and it was himself who wanted his
own death.
Good night.
-Zzzz...
