Purgatory
There weren’t always dragons in the valley. There weren’t supposed to be any, not in this valley or any other. Doctor Faulkes had stollen the Seven Seed-Egg stones from the Dead City on Travon II. Recovered them, he said. And Var-Don the Travon Queens-Pair had found him and the stones aboard the LORES Valkyrie, just before the Queens-Pair Cleave and the nymphs’ emergence from the stones. And Doctor Faulkes’ Purgatory, his penance for his theft was to nurture the nymphs as they morphed toward adulthood, into what would be called dragons by those who did not know.

the blues
The blues came to earth in huge ships. They sent videos out to major government officials, stating peace was their wish. For 6 months we all lived together peacefully, or that was what we all thought. But then one day, early in the morning, an army of blues went through the streets, starting in major cities working their way out towards the smaller towns, dragging all the adults out of their homes and threw them in what looked like police cars. They took the children to another location claiming the adults they took were involved in a secret project to kill or enslave their people.

Existence of dragons revealed!
There weren't always dragons in the valley. They used to reside in the mountains and oceans but as man's hunt for wealth, and profit brought them to ocean sides and mountain tops dragons slowly shifted from oceans and mountains to valleys. A handful of valleys nestled in between mountains so tall man hopefully could never find them. Unfortunately, man's greed was never ending and eventually they were found. The dragons we hear about in myth and lore of razing villages and terrorizing peasants are just that myths. In reality dragons tend to be pretty peaceful. They do hoard treasures and things, but their treasure hordes depend on the dragon's nature. I have met dragons that horde books (Layla) dragons that horde clocks (George) and even dragons that horde different flowers seeds (Arla of the Mecka line weirdly enough) . They horde what they are passionate about similar to humans. Some dragons can breathe fire but that is more of because of the sulfur and similar gases that ignite upon contact with oxygen when they expel them. Dragons were long living intelligent and benevolent in most cases. As with all species there are the outliers and exceptions. Arthur the Black for example enjoyed setting fire to villages and terrorizing peasants -he's actually the reason why you have most of those stories in history. And Belinda of the Opaline line loved to steal girls with fair skin and eyes and keep them like pets. But again, they are the exceptions. So, when man finally discovered dragons were in fact real and not mythical, and they finally quit trying to kill them they brokered a treaty of sorts. Included in the treaty was humans would cease attacks on dragons, hide and protect the fact that dragons were real- so only a select few within the government actually know about them- they in turn would not harm humans, would keep to the designated locations, and most importantly share their knowledge -as mentioned before dragons tended to hoard what they were passionate about and while dragons were few they had quite a long time to collect a few different hobbies in which they were passionate about. Many technological advances were made with the help of dragons in fact some people believe it was aliens but in reality, it was the dragons who gave us the leap forward. Dragons were kept within a handful of mountains valleys and protected facilities around the world. Partially because of the difficulty of moving them secretly and partially because of the fact that dragons believe in grave tending. Mountains like Mount Everest are actually burial grounds of dragons. Dragons being such long lived creatures continuously grow just at a slow pace, so the older the dragon the larger the dragon and when they passed on they tended to pass on after a very prolonged period of not moving which the accumulation of dirt and other things tended to form mountains which is why there are some mountains that have high calcium deposits within them and some have formed volcanoes (certain lines tend to have more firepower shall we say. ) And as I'm looking at this rambling mess of a page, I've written I realize why my supervisors hate my reports. I do in fact jump from one thought to the next with very little to bridge between them.... Maybe I should take that reporting course that Aaliyah was talking about. Let me start over.

The Last Moment On Earth
The Last Moment on Earth The rugged, weather-beaten US military jeep tore through the barren hills outside the city of Diyarbakir, as the world began to end. Jeremiah Stone peered out of the passenger seats window at the passing landscape. Desert sands whipped around the jeep and clumps of dirt thumped relentlessly against the vehicles sides. Outside, the roar of the winds was deafening. Stone hastily hoisted up his window, ears ringing. He slumped back into the seat. Sitting back, his eyes glazed over as his mind left the present moment for the haunted depths of the past.
