The Dragon's Ring

Prologue

The Dragon's Ring, also known as the Ring of the Dragon, is an ancient artifact that was created way back in the Medieval times in the land of England during the 6th century.  Little to nothing is known of the ring's origin or if it is real.  Some say that the ring was created by the gods, some say that it was created by an evil witch or wizard while others say that it was created by a dragon itself.

Though no proof to those claims can be declared true, one thing they do know about the ring is what makes people fear it: Legend has it that one who wears the ring will be given the powers of the dragon and be transformed into one themselves.  Since the Medieval times, the ring has disappeared and never been found nor proven to be real... until now....

*YEAR: 2018*

Two archaeologists named Kate Williams and Max Williams went to the country, England, to locate the Dragon's Ring and bring it back to the United States for the exhibit for the new opening museum located in the city, Bethlehem.

It has been 4 hours since their arrival to England, Kate and Max arrived at the destination where a small village used to stand before it vanish one awful night.  Only a few people know what happened to the village and they believe it is linked to the Dragon's Ring.  And during the majority of the time, Kate has been recording herself and the area, describing the history of the land while Max went looking for it by digging and looking through the rubble that was still standing.

"Augh, where is it?!?" Max yelled in frustration.

"According to the folks, they say that the town was destroyed by a mysterious creature that they believed was caused by a dragon" Kate began to say as she had her phone focusing and facing her, "After the village was destroyed, a mysterious figure arrived at the scene and told them that the dragon was caused by the artifact known as the Dragon's Ring, a legendary ring that has the power to turn anyone into a dragon and granting the wearer the powers of the dragon as well.  Me and my husband, Max, have been looking for this very ring at the site where the village once stood for the past 3 hours"

Just then, Kate heard Max yell in much more frustration, which took Kate a lot of willpower to not laugh at.

"No, no, no, NO!!  IT'S NOT HERE!!  IT'S NOT FUCKING HERE!!!" Max screamed at the top of his lungs out of frustration and stormed out of the rubble, grabbed his shovel and walked to a very tall tree and began digging next to it.

"Aww, don't worry honey" Kate said as she walked to her husband, "Say something you would like to say to the camera"

Kate understood how important finding the ring was to Max.  Max's goal was to go to England and find the ring and prove to the world it's real.  That's right, for many years, people thought it was legend or a myth or that it doesn't exist and Max wanted to prove it was real.

"Not now, Kate!!" Max shouted, "Can't you see I am busy!?!"

Just then, a loud CLUNK made Kate and Max stop as the shovel hit something hard.  Excitement surged through the both of them and Max began digging faster, while in the process hitting whatever his shovel was hitting.

It took Max 13 minutes to finally get whatever was loose.  He got on his knees and lowered himself to grab what looked like a big wooden chest.  It took him a while but he managed to get the chest on the ground and the 2 archaeologists got even more excited.  Max opened the chest and when they looked inside, Kate let out a scream.

Sitting inside... was a ring.  Not just any ring: It was the Dragon's Ring!!

Max picked up the ring and examined it.  The ring appeared to be made of some kind of metal with scaly designs on it, much like a dragon, and on the top of the ring that was sitting on the bezel was a green gem and inside the gem was some sort of slit, almost like a cat's slit.

"Max, is that...." Kate began to say but was overcome with shock that she wasn't able to finish her sentence.

"The Dragon's Ring" Max said, "It's real"

Just then, the slit in the ring's gem thickened and the ring began to glow.  What was shown to them was something that was shrouded in mystery.

"AHHHHHH!!!"

*MEAHWHILE*

"Sir!"

The mysterious figure that was standing at the far end of the room lifts up a finger as in a way to say 'Silence'.

"Oh..."

The figure kept his finger up for a few moments when it lifted it down and spoke.

"It's almost time for the plan to settle in.  Did you get everything ready?"

"I know the drill, sir"

"Excellent.  So, what do you got for me?"

"Sir, it has happened.  The Dragon's Ring... has been found"
