Friends

You have no clue how hard it is to be a dragon. You sit around most of the day, bored out of your mind, and the one time in weeks that you decide to leave your cave, you get attacked by every glory - hungry knight in the country. So, in anger, you burn a village somewhere. That's how it always happens.

You know what the worst part of all this is? The loneliness. Yes, that's right. You probably wouldn't imagine loneliness being the most pressing issue on a dragon's mind, but it is. We don't get to talk to anyone. My own mother would probably try to kill me if she saw me - we're very territorial creatures. No human would ever spend the time of day to talk with me. They would probably either sit there screaming until I ate them to get the noise to stop, or they would charge me on some stupid - looking horse with banners flying from their shinny toothpicks. What a joke!

So anyway, that's what this is all about. I'm desperate for someone to talk to. I decided that this was the only way to get someone in here that wasn't going to try and kill me. The whole story about "if I don't get a virgin I'll burn the village" was just to get someone here, you see? I figured that you might be lonely, too. Now we can enjoy each other's friendship - and talk, right? I can hear what your life is like, and we can be friends, right?
