(Bath, Great Britain -- The Past)
-1-
During the hardest days of the dragon wars times...
When the beasts tromped through all the lands at will...
Killing and burning and flying and terrorizing all...
Mankind, with our will to survive, did repel the fire beasts!
Our greatest knights and magicians and alchemists,
They did, by way of nighttime and daytime of sleeplessness,
Forge metals of hardness and strength to draw dragon blood --
And show the beasts that pain can be inflicted twice ways!

And it was of one of the darkest hours in the war against the dragon beasts...
When mankind happened upon a surprising ammunition breakthrough!
It changed the way future dragon battles would be forever fought...
Thanks to the gods who we thought had abandoned us to death by fire!
Who in their most vivid mosquito borne nightmare would have ever thought...
Thanks to the gods who we thought had abandoned us to death by fire!
Who in their most vivid mosquito borne nightmare would have ever thought...
Who would have known that one of the simplest of god's creations,
A most common of objects know to man and woman...
Would turn the dragon wars toward the human’s favor!
It was Alzigon, the Ebon skinned slave warrior protector of Sir Mallory of London,
Who, while defending the life of his master from the female dragon beast,
Used the object in his possession to fight off the dragon...
Moments before it surely would have bitten him in half!
The dragon had bitten into the tree Sir Mallory was using as a shield!
It ripped the ancient tree out of the soggy ground by the roots!
It flung the tree behind itself, high up into the air...
Right before it turned toward Sir Mallory with its mouth wide open to bite!
Alzigon's Sword had been knocked from his hand and was lost in the mud!
The driving rain made the soaked battle scene a blinded confused mess!
They lasted this long with this dragon battle only because of the blinding rain...
And the dragon's flames being stunted by the mid-summer deluge!
Alzigon had only one seemingly harmless possession in his side pouch.
In a desperate last minute attempt to save his master's life...
Alzigon aimed the object at the head of the dragon beast and threw it hard!
And then the object hit the right shield sized eye of the dragon!
The dragon beast reared back its head and screamed in pain!
Smoke and steam and puffs of fire gurgled from its wide open maw!
It was terrorized by the pain in its eye as it thrashed about in pain...
And quick witted Alzigon turned toward the stunned soldiers cowering over there!
"A sword, You men of helplessness! Throw me a sword!"
And he watched as one single blade of hardened steel was tossed to him.
Alzigon grabbed the weapon in mid air, ran to the side of the beast...
To plunge the sword into the eye of the beast, its head resting in the cooling mud!
This was the first times a human has actually laid sword to the head of a dragon!
And...
