Dragon's Dungeon

&nbsp;

Within the lower chambers of the Castle, dwells a

Dragon; normally a gentle soul, but he can be very dark and brooding.

His soul is gentle and kind; but he came to me in great pain both

physically and in spirit. His great frame carried the burns of great

fires, which caused great concern! I bathed his wounds, placed a

healing salve upon them, and cared for this gentle soul until his

wounds were healed.

&nbsp;

I had known many nights where this great Dragon

seemed greatly troubled in his sleep - when he could sleep. Oft times,

he was too restless, as though ghosts of the past yet haunted his

gentle spirit. As his physical wounds began to heal, and he grew a

little more rested, he began to share part of his story with me.

&nbsp;

It seems that this gentle soul had long resided in an

abandoned Castle with his mate. They had shared a long and happy life

together, until such a time that their presence was discovered. This

discovery created quite a stir among certain people, and they attacked

the Castle with intent to slay the Dragons. The villagers set fire to

the briars which had grown around the Castle, and they burned rapidly;

scorching the Castle walls. The pair fought to defend themselves from

the attack, but alas, his mate was slain. It was during his attempt to

defend her that he was so badly burned. With her gone, he had no fight

left, and he took to the skies to escape.

&nbsp;

He had sought only to find a place away from these

humans in which to spend his last hours of life; but his great wings

grew weary, and he could travel no farther. And so it was that this

gentle Dragon came to my Castle. His wounds from the fire have healed,

though the scars are yet visible. He yet mourns for the loss of his

mate; and in those times can have a very angry, brooding mood. But, he

knows the sound of my steps, and my voice; and even in his darkest

times, my touch can reach him and bring him back to me.

&nbsp;

Here, he has always been a gentle Dragon, and has

grown very protective of his new home and his new family. His is of a

gentle spirit, but test him not; for his memory is still strong, and

the pain over losing his mate that he loved is great.

Challenge him, and you will know the rage

of this great Dragon. But come as a friend with heart that is pure and

true, and you will know the gentle ways of his Dragon_Spirit.
