"I wanted a fare fight." you answer.
"Why do you want to fight me?" enquires the dragon.
"Because the bird-people say you are bad. The voice told me you
were bad too." You answer.
"Do you believe everything you are told? You have never met me
before today. How do you know if I am bad or good. I could be simply
misunderstood."
At that you laugh and throw down your sword. "Maybe your right.
So dragon tell me, are you bad or good."
"Well to people who poke me with swords I am bad. But to people
who sit and chat I can be very kind and a good host."
"How many people do you get to sit and talk with you?"
"Not very many."
"Okay dragon, I'll sit and talk. What about?"
"First of all my name is Septuagint. What do you want to talk
about?"
Instead of vanquishing the dragon the easy and cheating way you walk
over to the dragon. You tap the dragon on it's big shoulder. The
dragon awakes and looks at you in alarm. He sees your armor and
sword. He starts to get up and you see confusion in it's eyes.
"Why have you awakened me?" yells the dragon.
