Once upon a time...

Once there was a kingdom plague by a nasty dragon. The dragon would terrorized villages, and towns to steal their livestocks. King Mauro, the ruler of the kingdom tried everything but the dragon's no easy foe. Out of option the king decided...

...to seek the service of Alfred, a dragon slayer for hire. So the king send a messenger to summon Alfred. Several days later, the infamous dragon slayer arrived riding a griffin as mount! The king was awed seeing such an incredible sight.

Alfred the dragon slayer walked towards the king. He then gave a slight bow as a sign of respect. The king looked at Alfred and can't help but admit that he is a man of grit. He had a feeling that this man might just succeed in subjugating the dragon

Alfred introduced himself to the king, and inquire about the dragon that have been terrorizing the kingdom. After knowing the situation, he asked for some supplies before heading off. The next day he arrived at the place the dragon was last seen.

There he saw the damage the dragon caused. Yet when he asked around he found out that the said dragon have not actually killed anyone but only feed on livestocks. Despite this though, Alfred is determined to hunt the dragon. Finding no more clues...

...Alfred flew to the next village where the dragon was seen. But on the way to the village, Alfred saw a large red figure flying to a certain direction. "That's... a dragon!" Alfred exclaimed in shock. Alfred couldn't believe his luck, he actually..

...spotted a dragon the moment he decided to leave. "Quickly follow the dragon, Feather!" Alfred told his griffin. Feather the griffin followed the dragon as its master ordered. But no matter how Feather tried he could not match the dragon's speed!
^{(by Hive account@chrislyr)}

Yet Alfred did not give up, and ordered Feather to maintain its current speed. Soon they stumble upon a valley, and the dragon descend while carrying a sheep. It then entered a cave, and everything was silent once more. After observing, Alfred...
^{(by Hive account@yuki-nee)}

...thought that the timing's just perfect. "Feather, let's do it," Alfred told Fearher. "Kweh!!!" Feather agreed, and determination fill its eyes. The dragon who was secretly watching looked at the duo in confusion. "What are they planning?"
^{(by Hive account@yuki-nee)}

Not long after the dragon recieved the answer to its question. Alfred, and the griffin started dancing in a weird way. "This..." the dragon's maw almost fall to the ground agape. To see a human dancing like a lunatic truly shocked the dragon...
^{(by Hive account@riovanes)}

"What's going on? And why is my body moving on my own?!" The dragon started panicking. Hearing the rumble inside the cave, Alfred new his secret technique was working. "Let's step it up a notch, Feather!" Exclaimed the sweating Alfred.
^{(by Hive account@chadrona)}

The dragon could not help but dance along with Alfred, and Feather. Unable to understand what's happening the dragon panicked. It then realized that not only is it dancing, it's also moving towards the duo's direction. "Damn it!" It exclaimed.
^{(by Hive account@chadrona)}

Soon the dragon found itself in front of Alfred, and Feather. Its huge figure that towers over most species should be enough to terrify anyone. But Alfred is not just anyone; he is a dragon slayer! Alfred glared at the dragon before...
^{(by Hive account@riovanes)}

...brandishing his sword! A furious dragon stared angrily at a man, and a griffin, poised to attack. Suddenly the dragon spoke. "What the hell is the big idea, dude? Why did you used magic on me?" It asked. "Dude? What are you saying?" Alfred asked.
^{(by Hive account@chadrona)}

"Dude is dude! What do you think it is? Anyway, you still have not answered my question. Why did you attacked me?" The dragon asked again. "I've still no idea what this "dude" is. But the reason I attacked you is because I was asked to."
^{(by Hive account@vegaron)}

Alfred then told the dragon about his mission. "Lame! That's just lame, dude! Sure I might have stolen some livestocks but that's no reason to hunt me! I'm a freaking dragon for crying out loud!" Roared the dragon in resentment. After venting, the...
^{(by Hive account@riovanes)}

...dragon grabbed Alfred, and flew! It's destination the kingdom's capital. "Wait, whar are you going to do!" Alfred screamed, confused at the sudden turn of.event. Meanwhile, Feather tries to catch up with the dragon, hoping to save its master.
^{(by Hive account@riovanes)}

But no matter what Feather do, the dragon's speed is not something it could match. Therefore, it could only do its best not to lose sight of them. "Wait! Let's make a deal!" Alfred plead after realizing the dragon's plan. The dragon...
^{(by Hive account@chrislyr)}

The dragon looked at Alfred with interest. It then urges Alfred to speak. Taking a deep breath, Alfred lay down his plan. Hearing it, the dragon could not helped but guffawed. "Interesting! Truly interesting! Fine, I accept!" The dragon exclaimed.
^{(by Hive account@chadrona)}

The two flew towards the capital but this time Alfred's no longer a hostage, and is actually allowed to ride the dragon's back. Meanwhile, Feather had seen all this and is very confused by the sudden change.
^{(by Hive account@vegaron)}

Before long, a man and dragon combo reached the kingdom's capital followed by a tired griffin. "So this is the capital? It's smaller than I thought. The ones I saw in my dreams were ten times larger than this." The dragon said with disdain.
^{(by Hive account@yuki-nee)}

The dragon went towards the castle where the king is waiting. Upon arrival they saw the soldiers fully armed but one could see the fear in their eyes. Knowing that they will only die if they fight the dragon, Alfred intervened and asked for the king.
^{(by Hive account@riovanes)}

The king nervously appear before Alfred and the dragon. "I've come to report the result of my mission, your majesty!" Alfred proclaimed. "The result of your mission? You don't mean—" Alfred cut off the king's words, and said "yes, that is correct."
^{(by Hive account@yuki-nee)}

Alfred explained the situation promptly. While listening, the king could not help but wonder at Alfred's quick thinking. Any normal man would have given up if they were in his shoes. "So that's it. I understand." The king nodded.
^{(by Hive account@chrislyr)}

"But can we really trust him?" King asked. "He and I are bound by an oath, your majesty. As long as I uphold my oath the dragon will too." Alfred assured. "Of course his protection do not come cheap." He added.
^{(by Hive account@vegaron)}

Relieved by what Alfred said, the king quickly agreed to his proposition and gift a certain valley as the dragon's territory. With a dragon protecting the kingdom, other kingdom will think twice before attacking. Alfred seeing the king's...
^{(by Hive account@vegaron)}

...expression knew what the king is thinking. Therefore, he warned the king not to put too fate on the dragon as the dragon's race pride is very well known. Realizing that.he'd gotten to caught up on the situation, the king apologized.
^{(by Hive account@riovanes)}

Alfred no longer pursue the matter and reported the terms agreed by him and the king to the dragon. "Oh? Well, I don't really care. I'll do whatever I wanted anyway, whether there's an agreement or not." The dragon declared with a yawn.
^{(by Hive account@chadrona)}

After saying its piece the dragon flew towards the valley that is to becoming its new home. Days later the news that a dragon had become their kingdom's protector. The citizens are awed and was besides themselves with joy. But that joy...
^{(by Hive account@yuki-nee)}

...did not last long as news of monsters attacking a village spread throughout the kingdom. Terrified of the news, the citizen turn to the king for comfort. The king enraged by the attack summoned Alfred.
^{(by Hive account@yuki-nee)}

Alfred received the summon and arrived quickly. "Greetings your majesty! How could I be of service?" Alfred greets the king and asked why he was being summoned. The king greets Alfred as well. After a brief pleasantries, he went straight to business.
^{(by Hive account@riovanes)}

"Sir Alfred, I assumed that you already knew what happened?" The king started. Alfred nod signaling his understanding of the matter. "Those monsters have gone too far! I beseech you to ask the lord dragon and eradicate them." The king pleaded.
^{(by Hive account@chrislyr)}

After talking to the king, Alfred proceed to meet the dragon. But to his surprise the dragon was already out of its lair seemingly waiting for him. "Took you long enough." The dragon complained and then flew towards the destroyed village.
^{(by Hive account@riovanes)}

Alfred frown in displeasure after seeing the destruction. The scent of blood was still strong and there are even dead bodies of humans and monsters. Even the usually willful dragon is silent. "I can feel the presence of dark magic," the dragon said.
^{(by Hive account@vegaron)}

"Are you sure?" Startled by what the dragon said, Alfred quickly asked. "No doubt and it is most likely casted by a powerful dark magician," the dragon affirmed. "Can you trace it?" Alfred asked. "Sure but..."
^{(by Hive account@riovanes)}

"...it could be very dangerous." The dragon answered. "No matter the danger we need to find and stop that person!" Alfred didn't back down. "Fine. Give me a moment." The dragon concentrates and then flew! "Follow me!"
