Of all the people of Alefgard, only one was unhappy, but one was enough. This man lived alone in a mountain cave. Shunning the light, he turned inward to his dark mountain home, which was as riddled with tunnels as an ant hill. He explored ever further into the passages until one day he reached the bottom chamber and discovered a sleeping dragon. Suddenly the dragon woke up and the man thought he would be consumed in the monster's fiery breath. But to his surprise he found that the dragon kneeled before him. He commanded the dragon to sit, then run around the room, then roll over and play dead. Like a trained dog, the dragon did all these things. So that is how the man became the Dragonlord. From that day on he began plotting his rise to power and the downfall of Alefgard.
Still more to come....
