Dragon's Quest

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away… No wait. Wrong story. Gimme a sec, I’ll find the right one. Oh, here we go.

Once upon a time there was a young prince named Jack who wished to become greater than his annoying egoistic brother, Marcus. So Prince Jack decided to go on a quest. A grand quest to slay the evil dragon of the Free Mountains. Now, this grand quest has been attempted by many of men. None of whom returned from the mountain.

Because of this the young prince decided he might have a better chance of killing the beast if he had help. So Jack requested to have three soldiers who would be willing to go with him on this great journey.

The three that came forward were marksman Edward; his brother, Matthew; and Lady Skylar, a brave girl who is not a distressed damsel of any kind and is actually a knight.

These four people, this is including the prince of course, left Starrin and headed towards the Free Mountains.

Okay, so the story about the journey between the Free Mountains and the Kingdom of Starrin is long and boring so I will just skip a few chapters. Nothing really happened. Only a couple run ins with Jack’s older brother, an attempted assassination, and a battle with a troll.

Two weeks later:

The foursome were riding through the Dark Forest of Erion when they happened across a traveler named Alexis. After learning that Alexis knew how to heal people they decided to ask her if she’d like to come slay a dragon and then heal any wounds they had. Alexis agreed and they continued traveling together.

A week later they arrived at the dragon’s cave. Standing at the entrance was a knight in red armor. The guardian of the cave and the adopted daughter of the dragon. Don’t ask. I have no idea why the dragon would adopt a human daughter.

“You shall not enter,” the red knight said.

Prince Jack battled the red knight. He somehow managed to knock her out without getting his head cut off but he did get stabbed in the chest.

Alexis healed Jack best she could but he did not make it. Prince Jack died. Just joking! Can’t have the prince die, can we? Actually yes we can but it’s not needed for this story.

Prince Jack knocked out the red knight and entered the cave followed by his friends.

A great black and green dragon lay on a pile of gold within the cave.

The dragon looked up from studying a large gem and growled at the intruders

Prince Jack and his friends attacked the beast. Edward fired arrows, Matthew whacked it with his sword, Skylar also whacked it with a sword, and Jack shouted insults at it while whacking it with a sword. Alexis stood on the sidelines unable to do anything because she had no fighting skills whatsoever.

The dragon breathed fire and knocked around the four attackers. Edward got eaten. This is not a joke. The dude actually got eaten. Sorry.

Eventually Jack stuck the dragon in the heart and the dragon died. Everyone went back to Starrin much richer and full of glory. They were heroes. Jack had proved he could do something that Marcus could not do. Everything was perfect. Except for Matthew. He was a little mad that his brother got eaten by a dragon so he left Starrin. Alexis went with him. But Skylar and Jack lived happily ever after. The end.

Nice story, huh? There were battles, long journeys, a dragon, a guy died, and everyone lived happily ever after, kind of. So goodbye for now and remember, never get eaten by a dragon. It’s bad for your health.
