Pyrius
Prologue: 3000 years ago, Humankind and Dragonkind lived in peace with each of them building their own civilisations. Dragons had their own ways of magyk. Firepower dragons lived on the land and could weaponize the burning breath. They could set off volcanoes and raze the land for clearing. They also cooked food for the other creatures via the burning breath.

Reasons that made Queen Elizabeth II great
On the 8th September 2022, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth died peacefully at the ripe old age of 102. On the 10th September, I made my way into London, to see the ascension of the new King. It made it to St James Palace and had a good view of the ceremony. It was here that me and many others sang the new national anthem. It felt new and unfamiliar in my mouth. For so long had I been used to sing God save the Queen that King sounded so strange. Even now when I think of King Charles, I automatically think of historic kings. But I still sang it and ushered in the new monarch. Don't get me wrong. I love Prince, now King Charles. He shares many of my interests and even started a charity which is greatly helping me right now. But after all 28 years of my life under Her Maj, and me expecting her to live into the hundreds like her mother, I still feel a great sense of surrealism.

My own asteroid!
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. No one can and that’s the best part. You can scream to your heart desire, and no one will hear you. You can fart, and burp and swear and shout, and no one will hear you. I wasn’t going into space, obviously, that would be just dumb. I wanted to be a hermit, not dead.

It will never happen on earth
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But they can hear it at the international space station. It is still an extension of earth. Rules still apply. Laws still apply. Even some forms of gravity still apply. Hence discrimination also applies.

penultimate destination
You wake up to the sound of a massive CHUG CHUG CHUG. You sense the feeling of movement. You feel like you are heavier than before. You seem to be going very fast as the outside world is zooming by, but you are still able to see the surroundings. The surroundings are like anything you have ever seen. There is a sea, a literal sea of grass. Here and there you see things. A statue that was never completed. Three returned applications that were sent to some place called Harvard. A broken engaged ring. You vaguely know what the items are.

Go bump in the night
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The candle was burning bright and was located on the window still of the derelict cabin. It glowed like a comet in the dark sky. It was a good idea that it was burning for it scared away the public and allowed the ghosts inside to get on with their afterlives.

Chapter one
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. Occasionally , one or two came down from the Frontier Mountains to look for food, when things were scarce for them, but that happened twice a year at the very most. Even then most of them simply flew over Baro and went back to their nests. There hadn’t been a fatality for the last forty season cycles. And that too was a child no more than five autumns old, too stubborn, or young , or both, to heed the alarms of the Red nosed swifts, followed by the bell of Jinpa Dorji.
