Aldetha's quest book #1 The Quest for Magic By Brody Newman Chapter #1 The Beginning Once there was a dragon, His name was Gelph. He was a kind dragon but nobody ever seemed to understand him. He still dreamt about the old days when no one teased for doing good works. They were the days when all dragons were kind and none had to kill. They were the days when he could rule himself without being pushed around by humans. The dragons were always happy until the evil things that the humans called weapons came. The dragons hated all weapons. They could usually dodge the bullets but when they hit they really hurt and the noise was almost unbearable. The dragons were never too far apart from each other. That way whenever they heard the sound of guns they would investigate. Then if it was a fellow dragon they would help. Whenever there was a fight the dragons would bring their young with them and put them with the female dragons to protect them. Sort of like their own portable nursery. Gelph was the first wizard dragon he worked with Merlin the first wizard.
