Many
claimed to have killed dragons. These fierce warriors called themselves
dragonslayers. They were powerful and witty. They had the power to ward
off evil and destroy an evil dragon. Dragonslayers trained for many years
and worked very hard to acquire the skills required to defeat a dragon.
These warriors protected the cities from evil dragons often fighting until
either dragon or slayers perished.
Sometimes evil wizards assumed the role of destroyers
of dragons. Their reason for killing dragons was different than that of
the slayers. Wizards used dragons for their own game which normally was
for the protection and destruction of cites.

In
very rare instances did wizards protect dragons. This is evident in the
famous wizard known as Merlin the Magician. Merlin used his powers to
protect the dying breed and hid dragons in caves and castles when necessary.
He was know across the land as a good and merciful wizard.
Many more had taken on these mammoth beasts. One more in particular
was the mighty warrior Hercules, the son of Zeus. He was sent to earth
as a mortal and brought with him one single power, strength. Hercules
was victorious in battling off the dragons that were sent to destroy him
by the hell-dwelling Hades.
