Dragons were perpetually feared by all mortals, by our kingdom of men, by the elves, unmatched with the bow and endless in their knowledge of magic and even the foolhardy dwarves. With dragons, came death and as their scales are nigh impenetrable except by only the finest of weapons, few could guard themselves against them.
*year 321 of the gorlund calendar*
An onlooking warrior observed a bout between two ancients beasts: dragon and the magic they wield was just as ancient. They shout in a tongue, long forgotten, and with it rend fire and ice with merely their words. The surrounding humans were either dead, dying or fleeing.
The weaker dragon had been shredded in a most gruesome manner, bringing the battle to an abrupt end. The warrior scrambled toward the remaining beast, hiding behind a building. He had a blade in hand, it was an ancient blade: a relic blessed by magics long forgotten. Ontop of the building the lept onward towards the dragon,''Fere de'' he screams: DIE BY FLAME in the ancient tongue. Burst into flame, the sword dug into the dragons heart, felling the great beast causing the beast to collapse and the warior with it. "HAZAAR" shouted one of the knights that stood by and the rest erupted into shouts of joy and relief.
That warrior became an knight of the kingdom. Having found Ancient tongue scripts in an underground cave deep within the forbidden forest, he passed on his knowledge to all of mankind, this provided them with a way to fight back against the dragons. The knights who learnt the ancient tongue became known as Dragon Slayers, they were heroes to all. A guild was created and only the highest caliber of warriors were permitted to train to become a Dragon Slayer.
Soon the elves and dwarves heard of what happened they stole the scripts of the ancient tongue and made weapons of their own.
The name of that legendary warrior was Arthur pendragon and that is where I fit in I am the great great granddaughter of Arthur pendragon. My name is Kasandra pendragon, I'm 16 years old and I am going to be Dragon Slayer in training!
