The Dragon That Wasn't There
« on: January 29, 2008, 12:15:12 am »
*It hardly takes any coercion to get this tale told, just the mention of the 'd' word.*

"Argali knows the new tale of the drragons! Yes!

"We arre in the stinky, stinky Swamps of the Sorrows on Alindorr, looking forr the killerrs of zis lady's husband and son. Yes, it was verry sad.

"We arre finding the remains of the bodies, but no signs of the trrail. Then, one who iz therre beforre, iz rememberring the blue drragon. Yes, she iz therre in the original tale! Zo, Arrynne, who iz quite good at the crraft of the woods, iz leading us deeperr and deeperr into the stinky swamps to find the drragon.

"Then, you arre neverr guessing what. We arre finding the biggest bearr that was everr therre was! At the shoulderr, it iz tallerr than the big ogrre! Yes! And he iz not verry happy to see us. When the elf iz going up to zay hello... it eats herr!" *makes exaggarated biting and chewing motions* "Therre iz not much left afterrwarrds.

"Afterr the long fight, when many heroes of the renown arre lending theirr steel and skill, we arre finally besting the giant bearr. Zome, who arre knowing about zhese things, arre zaying the bearr iz poisoned the same way the drragons arre poisoned, giving them the red eye. Therre iz the small disagrreement overr what to be doing with the carrcass of the bearr.

"Next, we arre making ourr way into..." *makes overly dramatic voice* "the lairr of the drragon." *nods in her own excitement*

"On the way in, we arre finding the body of the person who iz courrageously going ahead and finding all the trraps forr the grroup.

"Courrageous? Foolish? Argali iz always getting zhose two mixed up.

"Finally, we arre finding the blue drragon of the deepest sapphirre. It iz coming out and zaying..." *makes a deep, booming voice* "'Begone, iz grrumpy today, and iz not seeing people.'

"Zo, Argali takes the drragon at its worrd, and turrns arround to be going. But zome of the otherrs, who arre having the morre curiosity than the zense, arre wanting to talk to the drragon. Zo, the drragon iz eating them.

"At zis point, Argali iz thinking it would be the time to be going. But the otherrs arre zaying, let us be looking arround its lairr. Zo, in they arre going, and the drragon comes out and iz zaying... *makes a deep, booming voice* "'Begone, iz grrumpy today, and iz not seeing people.' And again, the drragon iz eating them.

"Then Sasha, who iz verry cleverr at these sorrts of things, iz noticing the drragon iz zaying exactly the same thing each time. Zo, she iz going in, and the drragon comes out and iz zaying... *makes a deep, booming voice* "'Begone, iz grrumpy today, and iz not seeing people.'

"Zis time, everryone iz fighting the drragon, and defeats it. Yes! But when it iz defeated, they arre zaying, iz not real drragon, iz magic. Zo, despite eating nearrly half the grroup, the drragon iz not really therre!

"Only question iz," *with a small glint in her eye* "who iz making zis magic? And why?

"And wherre iz the blue drragon?"

*Argali Trueaxe discreetly enquires of those she meets, particularly those who attended the summons of the Dragon Called, if they know of the blue dragon of the Swamp of Sorrows, and if they do, of the dragon's disappearance.*
