Arthur was in the middle of his initiation to become a warrior, when suddenly, he saw a purple creature. He thought it was the animal he was supposed to capture. But, right as he was drawing his bow, he heard someone talking to him. As he listened, he saw it was the purple creature in front of him. It said to him, “Do not be alarmed. I am a dragon.” Arthur was confused. He had seen many dragons, and knew his friends had dragons, but he had never seen a purple dragon. “How can this be? There has never been a purple dragon before.” Arthur thought. He then realized that he still had to find the animal for his initiation. He looked throughout the forest for 15 more minutes, but kept finding the purple dragon. He couldn't understand. He looked in that area, and thought that it might be underneath the dragon. He knew that all dragons reached their full weight and size only if they are with their chosen human or elf, in the case of Arthur and his friends. He and his friends were all elves. So he picked up the tiny dragon and realized just what this dragon was, as all elves and humans relive the memories of their chosen dragon when they first get it. He saw nothing, except for other dragons of all colors. Then he realized that this dragon was still young. It had seen many other dragons though, but it was still young. He realized that no matter how many other dragon's he touched, this had never happened to him. He understood what this meant. He had finally found his dragon. As he realized this, he found the animal he was looking for. After doing that, he went back to his home and became a warrior. After becoming a warrior, he went to see the elder and his blue dragon, who knew all the legends of elves and humans. As Arthur told the elder of his journey for his initiation, the elder realized what Arthur's dragon was. “This is the legendary purple dragon, of which there has only ever been 1 in history. This purple dragon had come when there was a great evil lurking. I think this might be the sane purple dragon in the legend.” The elder said. “But what does this mean? Am I a hero?” Arthur wondered aloud. “I would think so.” said the elders dragon. “But you are not a hero yet. You will have to destroy the black dragon and it's human. Unfortunately, this will be hard as the black dragon has poisonous breath, and can turn invisible.” “So, what am I to do?” Arthur asked. His dragon walked in and said, “It seems we will have to leave and find this evil dragon and it's human, Arthur.” “I think you are right, dragon.” Arthur said. The elder thought, “Has Arthur gone insane? No, that cannot be.” Suddenly the elders dragon said, “It seems as though the purple dragon can communicate telepathically with it's chosen human or elf.” That had been what was happening earlier. “This will give me a great advantage in the fight against the black dragon.” Arthur told his dragon. “It certainly will be.” his dragon said. “So, what shall I do now, elder?” Arthur asked. “You will have to find the black dragon, and kill him, though no one knows where the black dragon dwells.” the elder said. As the elder was talking, Arthur realized something. “My bow won't be of much use at close range. What kind of sword could I use?” Arthur said. “Maybe a short sword, or possibly a broadsword.” The elder suggested. “I think maybe a broadsword would work, as it is still pretty long, so I could slice into the dragon at a slightly shorter range, but it could be more effective than my arrows,” Arthur said, “even if I dipped my arrows in poison.” The elder thought for a while, then spoke. “It is ritual for all who become warriors to be presented with a sword, so this came just in time. This is your chance to shine, and prove that we elves are not weak, and can win in the fight against evil.” the elder said. “How could this black dragon destroy the world, though?” Arthur asked. “The black dragon might use his poison breath after digging a hole, therefore permeating the earth, destroying it,” the elders dragon said. “Let's get going then, my dragon,” Arthur said. “My name is Kennan,” Kennan communicated to him telepathically. “Okay, Kennan, let's go,” Arthur said. After grabbing his broadsword and making sure his quiver was fully stocked, Arthur and Kennan set off on their journey to find the black dragon. But little did they know that the black dragon was also hunting them. However, this dragon didn't need a rider, as no dragon needs a rider, but it helps in combat. The black dragon, known as Scal, was hungry, but not for food. The black dragon has the rare ability to consume a dragon and gain it's claw length and scale number. It had recently consumed an orange dragon, gaining its long claws and strong armor. Right as it was about to consume a yellow, to gain it's incredible luck, an arrow got stuck between 2 of it's scales. Out popped Arthur and Kennan from the bushes. “That must be Scal,” Arthur said to Kennan. “It must be, he's pitch black.” Kennan said. Right then, Scal disappeared, except for a slight shimmer in the air. “That can't be good,” Kennan said. As they were wondering where Scal could be, Arthur remembered he had shot an arrow into Scal's leg! As he looked for it he finally saw it! He jumped off Kennan and slashed near there with his broadsword, and ended up cutting Scal's tail. Now they could follow the blood from Scal's cut tail. Arthur shot more arrows into Scal, and one got him right in the heart. As Scal was dying, he reached forward and used his poison breath on Arthur and Kennan. Now, that was going to be bad. Luckily, the yellow dragon had not fled, and cured the poison from Scal. But, Scal's poison couldn't be neutralized that easily. This actually sped up the poison going through their bodies. Right as they were about to get into the elf village, they died. The elder found Arthur and Kennan, and buried them together, as Dragon and rider.
And then there was 1!
