There was a time when I thought that dragons were beautiful. During my childhood, I believed that I was friends with a dragon, except the dragon never knew of this friendship. Days after my 13th birthday, my secret was no longer mine to keep. Soldiers arrived to slay the dragon so that a feudal lord could make his name amongst the Nine Kingdoms. It ended in abject failure.
