The Invasion of the Dragons

“my lord, my cousins, the great dragons of the north, have declared war on you.�

“this is most distressing. what do they demand?�

“your land, my lords, to start with.”

“your crown.”

“and your sceptre.”

“but we have given them food and nourishment.”

“i thought that they were as sons to us.”

“we should have treated them not as sons - but as the dogs they are.�

“they have betrayed our trust.”

“but we shall deal with them justly.”
