Prolog
They say that there is a legend that long ago in an ancient land, there lived a horrible dragon. One that struck utter fear into the heart of the bravest man. It burned villages to the ground and made cattle scarce. The great king did not know what to do. Before his very eyes, his people had been thrown into poverty and years of famine. When matters became worse he decided to strike a deal with this dragon. Every year the dragon will receive a female sacrifice in exchange for peace in his lands.
The dragon thought about this deal, contemplating wether he would profit from such a gift. When villages were hardly able to even identify as villages did the dragon agree to this offer. One maiden sacrifice per year to bring peace to the country. And it was such every year. A chosen maiden was left upon a hill many miles away from the castle to become a sacrifice. It was a long term deal and many years past, until one maiden sacrifice finally ended it all.
It was a shock when the woman that had been sacrificed three months ago just ended up on the kings doorstep, her belly swollen with a child. The king became afraid, as well as his people, thinking that the dragon thought the sacrifices no longer quenched and would again bombard villages to nothing but rubble. But, the year had passed and no village burned to the ground nor any cattle disappeared. The king questioned the woman, but all she said was that she had "mated" with the dragon and was now carrying its child. The king took this as folly, but could not explain why she carried a child. Still, six months after her appearance the child was birthed. It did not look any more different than any human child except for her eyes. The child's eyes were a stunning blue that seemed to hold the universe itself within.
The king had financed a small home in the quiet mountains where the woman had requested to live. After five years passed, the king had went to the mountains to visit the woman and her child, but he found no one. All he found was an empty shack and nothing more.
The legend had continued from then on, but wether you believe it or not is your choice....
