Then, one day,
J'on realized he was bored
with Haven & The Elm.
He wanted to spread his scaly wings
& use his powers
to acquire new territory.
But, in turn,
he
did not want to free The Elm.
Nor could he leave it unprotected.
.
Many times, in the past,
J'on had been forced
to defend his claim on The Elm,
and he had always been
victorious.
It was then that he remembered
the young, green dragon
whose name was
Theod.
He was the perfect choice.
He would obey orders
and keep his place,
never questioning
J'on's authority
as Master.
.
Raised by a kindly wizard,
Theod learned respect
for all living creatures,
and Life itself.
He loved the feeling of
sailing through the sky,
his young wings
catching the Wind
& taking it as his own !
But now was the time
to mature,
give up the play
& take up the
responsibilities.
J'on summoned Theod to a meeting.
He
told Theod he was going
to the Mill Fjiords
and he wanted to leave
Theod in charge
of The Elm
as his "partner".
.
"Beware the slaves, Theod",
he snarled,
"as they are sly devils
who would destroy us
if they could !
They are NOT to be trusted."
"You must be on guard
at all times,
a forceful master,
be kind to no one."
"Especially", he hissed,
"the female called Enoon !
She does not fear me,
nor respect me,
and this could be our bane."
"Do not fail me, Theod,
or you will suffer my wrath ! "
With these words,
he departed,
leaving Theod wondering
what "suffering" J'on's "wrath"
would entail!!
First things first.
He decided to meet
with this
Enoon.
