The great dragon
Obrfynar climbed the side of the mountain; reaching the podium, she
turned to face the audience. There was polite applause, curtailed
because everyone wanted to listen. She was, after all, one of the
most famous dragons on the conference circuit. Mountain birds flew
hastily away in case she cleared her throat, but she just took a
drink of sheep’s blood from the glass on the podium and began to
speak.
“We are
Dragon-kind! All look to us in awe! We are the mightiest! And from
the beginning of time we have known what we want, what we need, what
we must have, what we will
have! And what is it?”
There
was a predictable roar from the crowd. Any birds foolish enough to be
watching had long fled or were roasted in the excitement. The roar
said one word:
“GOLD!”
“We
must seek gold. Wherever it is, we must find
it and hoard it!”
