Imagination can
drive someone wild. In ways people can say mad while others call it a beautiful
insane. The history of dragons. Such a broad topic. Throughout the world their
legends stand. Naturally, this gives a scientific aspect as well as a fictional
one. Either way, there is one statement either believer can understand. Dragons
are magnificent creatures.
A trip to Europe

Each belief is
different. Through the eyes of the Europeans lurks a deadly, powerful, and
cruel beast. Known for eating humans, stealing
sheep/cattle, guarding treasures and nesting in caves. There are many tales of
Dragons. Ex: The Swiss Knight Heinrich Von Winkelried managed to kill a dragon
but died moments after he touched its poisonous body.
Basilisk:
A dragon like
creature in European stories. Described as a giant snake or lizard with a
crown-shaped crest. Some authors called it the king of serpents and claimed it
to kill a man with a single glance (oohhh Medusa…)
Location: Caves,
Marshes, near places where farm animals graze.
Description: May
have wings, kills people with poisonous breath, can strangle large animals with
its tail, four legs, two, or none.
**I was tempted to write a short story but I've been sick for a week now and this new medication isn't doing my thought process any justice. In any case I will find a way to speak with all of you eventually... For now please accept this token of "I tried."
