For avanti_90: "A country desperate to be conquered."

Yes, it's the same dragon from here, here and here

"I'm sorry, what?"

"Oh, Great Dragon," the ambassador repeated. "We beg to see your dark wings over lands, bringing your flaming breath upon our fields and homes, to steal our gold and our sweetest virgins."

"Yes, I got that bit," she said. "Why?"

"Our land is filled with sin..."

She puffed a gout of flame. "Get serious!"

The ambassador stood up, dusting off his robes. "Honestly? Giving tribute to a dragon would be an improvement. You don't know what the king has being doing to us. Only a dragon can stop him now."

She cocked her head. "Tell me more."

And if they can produce a 'hero' who'd make a decent king, she happens to have a 'princess' going spare...

The "princess" has her own set of problems at the moment. *plots evilly*

Oooooh!

Okay, so what is that king doing that makes a dragon seem good in comparison??? And what do the virgins think of this?

[jeriendhal.livejournal.com]

Well, virgins who encounter dragons generally stay virgins...

Yes, but they don't usually survive very long [g].

That poor dragon is probably thinking she picked the wrong century to wake up...
