“There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. It was a myth, a mythical, fire breathing beast with

wings that swoop down from the sky to grab you with its thick, long sharp talons. It’s been said that

dragons have a furious appetite for human flesh. They come twice a day appearing high in the sky when

they come out of the farther reaches of the mountains to fly to the valley in search for food.

Gray in color, the head’s bright red with long white feather’s flowing down the back. Their bodies

covered in thick layered scales from the head down it’s back, legs and tails with the same white colored

feathers. The breast uncovered from these scales covered in a thick yellow hide and the only

vulnerable part of the dragons. The wings massive in size also covered in the same white feathers.

In fact, the dragons are a very beautiful creature to behold and very dangerous with their wide mouths

full of sharp teeth and a squall that they omit in flight travelling for miles.

Only a few have lived to tell the tale of this amazing creature. Paintings on the underground walls tells

the story. It appearing to be a-cross, a hybrid of a bird and a lizard formed many, many years of

evolving with time. And with this time, they grew too almost enormous in size.

“How did this happen? You ask. I will tell you. I was picked from a group of elders to keep the story and

pass it on. If you remember earlier, I said it took many, many years for these dragons to evolve from a

bird like lizard to a dragon we know of today. There was once a time that the world was so populated

and growing with technology that the people of the time would have never imagine anything like this

to happen. The year was 3250 A.D.E., the wars in every corner of the earth; Atomic bombs, missiles,

guns killings of human and animals were astronomical. Chaos reigned in every city or small town

around. These wars were so strong and so long that the pollutant's that went up into the air started to

block out the sun. This change of events slowly making the earth froze over and as the earth was slowly

freezing a very few groups of people took it upon themselves to dig deep down as close to the core of

the earth to get heat. Cities were built, farms to grow crops, stables for livestock and every other need

available to substance life. The only thing left out of the new ways were left behind. Life had to start

over deep down where the people labored to build bigger places to make new places for the million

humans to come to live. But things are not what they appear here anymore. The population grew too

fast as crime started here also. Some trying to bring the old ways back because they themselves were

too greedy to work for food. Some laws were made and then more laws until nobody knew how to get

along. The war on top had found its way down here. There was unrest and untrusty for the

citizens and some had learned how to fasten their own swords again. It had gotten unsafe for every living being. A lot of the people got exceled out into the cold. They were not welcomed anymore from their crimes. Once that started happening the crimes grew smaller until the crimes were no more. We had learned to live in peace. Nobody knew when the earth thawed or when the trees, grass, flowers of all kinds had appeared. Only that once we learned of the new world we also learned of the new dangers. Dragons.
