The Isolated Mountain of Skin and Bone

(lit. The Isolated Mountain of Skin and Bone)
In this story, the protagonist Nikolaos and his grandfather aging time unknown due to a key device of enigmatic origin, Pythagoras, are both eccentric travelers with knowledge of many, with the grandfather slightly more obsessed with knowledge than his own grandson.

Of course, that is until they hear the rumors of a slightly estranged land, "a spikily shaped land where bountiful skeletons lay" if you will, and Pythagoras goes mad over it and drags his grandson along to find out where exactly it is, what it hides, and the truth behind it.

They will face troubles, of course. The rumors came with the fact that "this land of spikes and skeletons lay guarded by two dominant dragon kind, the long-winged, four-legged and shiny Goldskin dragons, and the tiny-winged, dark in color, ever-elusive Shadowbones" and, there is of course, a lack of food source, despite the appearance of wealthy hydration.

This story of fantasy shall be either long, or short, it doesn't matter here in the world of Earf (Earth, but more fantasy-like, hence "f" instead of "th"). All that is important is the ending of the tale. So come, and read with us, the fable of the Isolated Mountain of Skin and Bone.
