Narrative Paper

‘My story begins many years ago in a simpler time. A time when my species ruled over and protected the human race. At times we would be considered monsters and not very reasonable, for when certain men got to much power and exploit that power we would eat them for we are dragons.’
‘My name is Quad. I am a dragon and I have been watching over mankind for three hundred years.’
‘Now to tell you more of my story. There is a man by the name Jonathan Winchester who had come into to much power and his protector came to end his rein of terror on the people of his lands. As his protector was coming Jonathan was warned by one of his followers. When his protector arrived to fulfill his duty Jonathan was ready for him. Jonathan had created a very large crossbow looking machine with a very large arrow, that was about twenty feet in length. When the dragon was nearing close Jonathan fired the arrow and killed the dragon giving him the idea that if he could rein over all mankind.’
‘Jonathan’s lust for power was greater than ever now that he believed he could declare himself a king and rule the rest of his life as long as he killed every last dragon. However Jonathan knew that he needed to convince all people that all dragons are evil creatures that deserve to die. Now he had to come up with a story to tell people, so as to scare them into wanting him to kill all dragons.’
‘Jonathan knew it would be difficult to convince people of his story unless they believed that he was in fact a simple farmer. For Jonathan knew that the people have loved and trusted dragons for millenniums to keep them from being turned into slaves by men with to much power.’
‘Now that he had his story Jonathan grabbed his ten best men and they all dressed themselves in raggedy clothes and dirt to make their story believable. They set out going from one province to the next killing off the dragon of that province.’
‘For a long time Jonathan had to retell his story each time, but after a few years his story was known everywhere. Everyone was now engulfed with rage toward all dragon kind and no longer trusted them. Jonathan was now getting more and more powerful with each dragon that he killed. He now was getting paid by each province to kill their dragon protectors.’
