There weren't always dragons in the Valley. What will happen to the Copper Top church with that Sally, the dragon sitting on top of it? Sara hollered from down the street from the dragon that was shooting flames down on the evil villain.

I have no idea what will happen to the church! Let's worry about what may happen to us if either of them heads in our direction, said Jase. I wish that we did not have this going on in our valley. I remember when there weren't any dragons or villains in the valley!

How did they get back? Sara said. The polar ice cap thawed and there they were. Both dragons and villains. Now they have an ongoing battle wherever they land. Hopefully, it won't be in the valley for long, Jase said. Do you know if there are others, Sara asked?

Sara and Jase just left work to go get some lunch. They were both members of the old Copper Top and were concerned for their church and all that worshipped there.

Jase said the minister did say how nice it would be to get a new church! Sara frowned and said, I don't think this is what he had in mind!

Isn't there anything anyone can do about this? Sara asked. I don't believe there is. I know the military has tried and they both just fly away, and the military cannot catch up until the next sighting, said Jase. I heard they are afraid there maybe eggs. And if they hatch, then what?

I heard that there are a group of witches that have agreed to help in any way they can. They are busy with potions and spells to try to help this situation. They believe that if the villain is contained that the dragon will live peacefully with all for the rest of her life, said Jase.

No Jase, it isn’t just the witches, it is everyone on earth that has any special gifts that are meeting to put together a plan to fix this situation. The thought is that the dragon does not wish to hurt anyone. She is fighting to stay alive. No one knows the name of the villain. He is called that as no one knows where he came from and why he is having nonstop battles with the dragon.

Jase said, well there is nothing we can do and if we wish to stay alive, perhaps we should go for cover while we can! We can try to find some food before taking cover if anything is available. Sara said I have a picnic lunch for just this situation. It isn’t much but it will have to do. Let’s take cover!

Later that day, when there was quiet everywhere, everyone took care of the injured, looked at the Copper Top church, and went home. There wasn’t much that could be done with the church, and it looked like it was hardly damaged, even though it sure looked bad at the time!

Sara and Jase drove home on their motorcycles and spent the evening talking to family and friends about what they saw and how they spent their day. They all agreed that it would be nice to stop this from continuing. They thought all they could do was pray for a good outcome and leave it in the hands of the gifted.

One small child said that it was happening because it needed to happen as people in the world are so divided and need to come together to solve this problem. Notice how everyone pitches in to help the injured. Notice all the teamwork involved. These are good things and there will be more. Then he said, “My grandma said this doesn’t look like a good thing, but it is! She said it will be better as soon as we work this out together!”

We can all do our part and we can do some things together also. What will we do...
