It has been five days since the report about Peaceful Dragon, the damaged or destroyed buildings are almost done. In a surprise move James calls for a press conference and has two members of Dragon Slayer with him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, first off I want to apologize to the families of the falsely accused from Dragon Slayer. Second these wonderful, helpful and truly loving humans have been working with dragons to rebuild what was damaged or destroyed by Peaceful Dragon. We will be taking questions after a brief word from Alex. Alex please come up, remember no questions until after Alex is done."

Alex nods and smiles as he walks up to the microphone.
"Thank you King James, let me start by saying that the dragons have been truly amazing the time we have been with them. To the humans I call out to you, please help us in stopping the cruel and heartless attacks by Peaceful Dragon. Although not made public King James has already saved 165 children cancer. I have witnessed it myself, the methods used by the dragons are centuries ahead of the humans most advanced cancer treatment. Radiation therapy is in the words of the dragon doctors, barbaric and primitive but they understand that we are centuries behind them in almost every area of medical treatment. I call upon the leaders of every nation of the world to step up and join forces with the dragons, and in doing so I say join us for a better world or be forever known as supporters of the terrorist organization known as Peaceful Dragon."

James nods and says as he steps back up to the microphone.
"Thank you Alex, we will now be taking questions."

The reporter from NBC stands and says.
"Why aren't you upset about being falsely accused of crimes you didn't commit?"

Alex nods and smiles.
"Because of one simple fact. King James was the first to apologize for everything and it was him that made everything right."

The BBC reporter nods and says.
"King James, when you found out about Peaceful Dragon, what was the first thing you did?"

James nods and looks at the reporters.
"What any individual in my position should have done. I cancelled their punishment, cleared their names of all charges and reissued the charges against Peaceful Dragon, the second thing I did was to personally apologize for everything. And it was these humans who showed me a true understanding, they admitted that the evidence was so overwhelming against them. But the also said if the positions were the other way around it more than likely would have had the same results."

The reporter from CBS nods and says.
"What are you being given in exchange for your help to rebuild?"

Alex smiles and says.
"We are being paid for our services, given free room and board, given all meals at no charge, all medical is being taken care of at no charge."

The same reporter says with a hint of curiosity.
"So how much is that costing the dragons?"

James looks at the reporters and says.
"The cost is irrelevant, what is relevant is the fact that humans and dragons are working together. And I'm happy to announce that dragon families have taken these humans into their homes and have made them part of their families."

The reporters look at each other, James didn't know yet but his last statement had a massive effect on the humans. James looks at the reporters and says.
"In a effort to help bring the terrorist organization known as Peaceful Dragon to justice, I am offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of members of the terrorist organization known as Peaceful Dragon." James holds up a gold coin.
"Reward for information leading to the arrest of members of Peaceful Dragon is 500 gold coins. In human money that converts to approximately 20 thousand dollars. All information will be verified by me and law enforcement agencies before payment. All false information that is found to be misleading will be treated as an attempt to interfere with justice and the individual who gave the false information will be investigated for aiding and abetting criminal activity." James looks at the cameras and says with a serious look on his face.
"Mr. President, I issue a challenge to you. Prove to me that you are a man, prove to me that you are not a total pussy. Catch the terrorist known as Peaceful Dragon before us or at least show that the justice system in the human world is not a corrupt, broken and untrustworthy system." With those final words James, Alex and the other humans leave. The president responds to James challenge by issuing a federal warrent for every member of Peaceful Dragon. Putting them on the FBI most wanted list and making anyone who is part of or supports Peaceful Dragon a flight risk. With the reward and now a federal warrent for arrest, it was going to be almost impossible for anyone who is associated with Peaceful Dragon to go anywhere.

Humans that have different skills got to the dragon city. Carpenters, electricians, amateur chefs, child care and senior citizen care. It doesn't take long to find them work in the dragon city. Parents of children with cancer sing the praises of the dragons and their miracle treatment for cancer, not only children get treated for cancer. The dragon doctors meet with the families to discuss treatment and if it is even worth it. Some of the cancer patients were so bad it would have only prolonged the inevitable in a bad way. So some cancer patients were given the opportunity to become part of a new experimental cancer treatment, they were informed that it may not work, or they could die during the testing process. The volunteers agree and take part in the experimental treatment. For their willingness to help the families were given 200 gold coins, the cost of burial would be handled by the dragons as well as all medical. Families were allowed to visit and spend time with their sick and dying relatives. With the help of the volunteers the experimental treatment goes from testing to gain approval from the medical review dragons. The process could take two to three months. The volunteers who showed improvement were transferred to a cancer survivor and care facility. And with the money coming in the dragons were able to more than triple the size of the cancer treatment center, it went from 200 beds to over 2,000 beds and the treatment rooms were tripled. Unfortunately even the best efforts of the dragons couldn't bring the cost of the treatment down. The cost of the herbs to make the mist couldn't be lowered any more than what it already had been, the growth and cultivation of the herbs was expensive. To the dragons surprise the families coming to help their children and family members didn't mind paying $700 for the treatment. It was cheaper than the humans current treatment options. Thousands of leads pour in leading to the arrest of members of Peaceful Dragon, the group Dragon Slayer provided help and security at the entrance of the dragon city. Although things were going well both human and dragon knew the human terrorists groups would soon become a problem for the dragons.
