Once upon a time in a mysterious and curious time, there was an amazing warrior of great talent. This outstanding knight was the best in the ways of the sword and could best any challenger who dared to confront the warrior. All who came before the great warrior was bested in a swift, effortless victory. Essentially, this warrior was very capable to the point of ridiculing any who couldn't follow his ways. The lone knight may have had a high sense of self worth and superiority, the townspeople still looked to him to solve all the problems of the small farm town and defeat the threatening monsters surrounding it. One night, three dragons, one green, one blue, and one red, attacked the warrior's hometown. The people called on the valiant knight to defeat the beasts and protect the town. Nonchalantly, the warrior started the journey, effortlessly traversing the land and tracking the dragons' location.
By morning, the great warrior had discovered the dragons hiding spot up a mountain. At the foot of the crag, the knight shouted to the blue dragon, "Vile coward! You have the nerve to thrash in my town and tarnish it with your cursed presence?"
The blue lizard gazed down at the knight from a cliff and hissed, "Yes, dumb knight, I dare thrash your town and torment it with no fear from small humans!"
Fuming, the knight bellowed, "Foolish monster, you should know to fear me! Be ready dragon for I will repay you for the trouble you have put me through!" As the blue dragon turns back up the mountain, laughing at the knight for his conceit, the knight silently scales through the cliffside and cuts the lizard in its hind leg. The blue beast howls in pain and flies away higher to the mountains. Triumphantly, the knight screams to the fleeing dragon, "Haha! You dumb animal! I am the great warrior, you will cower before me!"
The determined knight climbed higher up the mountain, chasing the blue dragon up the peaks. By the afternoon, the fearful blue dragon flew into a cave at the face of the mountain. There, the green dragon emerged from its home. The knight shouted in confirmation, "Obnoxious troublemaker! You and your kin have desolated my fair town with your fire and flames! You knocked down its buildings with no shame on your part! I have outperformed your sibling and now I am out to slay you!"
The green fiend glared down to the knight and growled, "Me and my family have desolated you town with our fire and flames! I have no guilt or shame over knocking over its shanty buildings! But harming my brood was the last mistake you will ever make and you will be the one to be slain!"
The snarly knight screamed, "Imprudent snake, you should take you sibling's injury as a warning! I will reimburse my struggles against you!" The scaly green dragon, lashes at the knight in anger and vengeance, the warrior parries the attack and slashes into the green beast's face. The green dragon screams in agony, scaring the blue dragon and having it fly up even higher up the mountain. Now afraid of the deadly mortal, the green dragon follows the blue in a desperate attempt to escape. Successfully, the knight yells up to the dragons, "Run! Run! Waste your energy! I am the master of combat and you prolong the inevitable!"
Under the setting sun, the gritty warrior relentlessly hunted the blue and the green dragons higher to the mountain summit. When the moon rose, the great warrior was at the top of the mount. There waiting for him was the little blue dragon, the fair green dragon, and the great large red dragon. Between them was a large hole with a small but strong light flaring from it. The mountain was in fact a volcano and the dragons lived within it. The stately red dragon trotted to the brash warrior, defiantly facing him while its kin kept their distance. In fixation, the warrior shouted to the red dragon, "Devilish cur! You all have destroyed my town, its crops and its people. Their blood is on your claws and their sorrow is on your conscious! You feral demons have no souls, no hearts, or any sense of dignity! You dragons are the curse upon the world and it is in my power that I enact justice upon you all for crimes that are normally unable to punish you! Your family has already tasted my blade and not your ends are near!"
The red dragon look into the warriors eyes intently and moaned remorsefully, "It is true that we dragons have caused you grief, but we mean no harm, for all be wanted was food for our belies. but prey is scarce because of you humans driving them away. I speak for my fellow dragons as I say that we apologize for the plight we have put you all through. Our hunger clouded our judgments and we had no reason to attack your frail town. We implore you to forgive us for our nuisance and leave us free and me and my kin will never harm you city again."
Bewildered but untrusting, the warrior screamed back, "Irresponsible creature, your actions have sealed your fate and for that I refuse to forgive you! Accept your punishment, so I can end our misery!" The warrior launched at the red dragon unleashing a torrent of deadly combat techniques designed to swiftly go for the kill. But all attempts at the dragon were swiftly dodged and evaded. The red dragon stoically avoided all of the berserker's attacks. The exhausted warrior swayed and stammered, struggling to stay on his feet when the red dragon slowly approached him, give a sturdy shove, and pushed the warrior down the mouth of the volcano. The three dragons stared down the shaft in a wave of silence, and quietly flew away in to the night. The dragons were never seen again and the people rejoiced for their now dragon-less town. Unfortunately, there were other monsters terrorizing the town but no warrior to stop them. The people ended up slaughtered and the entire town pillaged and burned to the ground. Too bad, but then, that's fate.
