-What a beautiful place to live these huge creatures have! - said Cassandra Argon as she looked at the city and the old towers in the background.
What dreams and stories have been told since these fire-spitting beings came to our lands to coexist with us in a rather complicated way at first, but we forged a friendship step by step over the centuries until today.
Oh great star that shines the sky of the citadel of the dragons, how is it that these creatures blow heat when they want something difficult to obtain, but that, after all, they obtain, how is it that these winged creatures of innumerable colors dominate the skies and rule the highest mountains of the kingdom, how did they obtain their imperial fire, what is it that makes these creatures have so much magic to show, how did they come here, and stay here forever...?
Cassandra was asked these questions and many more by the children of the citadel, and she was happy that this was so, Cassandra always had the idea that a child should always be curious and her duty as a sorceress was to answer their questions in the best possible way until there was no doubt, in that way we teach children to get used to reason and to know the truth of things.
Casandra Argon is a young sorceress 19 years old, but for that age, she was quite wise because she already knew the deepest secrets of the magic originated by dragons, do not judge her by her age, this young teenager has a very old soul, that's why she must know so much, she has reincarnated so many times that she is already aware of all her past lives, all that experience throughout space and time allows her to know what to reincarnate in her next life, so deciding to be a human among her dragon brothers is something she would have always wanted.
-Take Firesol, eat this - Cassandra said to the little dragon next to her while they looked at the horizon, they were pieces of light crystals, something that dragons usually eat to stay awake and that can only be obtained in the stars.
How curious teacher Casandra, in this we are very different from the dragons, while we eat fruits, vegetables, cereals and drink water they take that luminous thing.
Cassandra looked at the children waiting for them to intertwine what she had analyzed with the many questions they ask themselves so they could formulate for themselves a new conclusion regarding the origin of the dragons, but there was no reaction.
-Very well, please, make a semi-circle around me," said Cassandra to the little infants while she counted them one by one and then start what she was going to say.
-Today I will tell you an ancient story (this story is a fact)," said Cassandra as she looked at each face of the children attentive to listen.
-It is a story that has to do with the course of our star and the origin of our winged friends.
-And what does our star have to do with dragons," asked a little girl eager to know.
And Cassandra began to relate.
It is said that billions of years ago, before our little world existed and all life was created, there was our star king newly born from a nebula of stars, as you may well know, our principal has billions of years of being in existence, but there is something that is not with him now but if it was in the beginning, our star had a sister at his side, that is, there were two stars next to each other, it was millions of years after our planet was created and all life emerged without more or less, Millions of years later the neighboring star of our star was changing its shape, the first human beings observed such change and prayed to the principal that it was something good, in size, our star was a thousand times bigger, but its sister contained a more intense glow, as thousands of years passed this glow was fading, until something like an ovoid was uncovered, the human beings surprised at such an event did not know what to think, only limited in saying that it was something good for them, then they witnessed something they had never seen, this ovoid began to break into pieces, those pieces of that extinct star fell to our planet and that was when the highest mountains we know emerged, from there start to leave this ovoid infinite winged creatures very strange for humans at that time, something totally unprecedented, these creatures did not come directly to our planet, they stayed in the biggest flares of our star for years, and drank from its fire, done this, they arrived and found in our planet a beautiful place to live, imposing, with crystalline eyes of different colors, large and shiny scales with large necks of different thicknesses and heights, giant wings, with an unquestionable intellect, they showed their magic coming from the stars to humans and until today, we the sorceresses, are committed to guard their secrets ...
With this story, you can solve many questions, right?
