a wannabe time traveler with a mission to save the dragons
                             "Saving the Great Dragon"


                   Many amazing tall tales are yet to be told,
                   so declared today's animated dragon-sayer.
         Long ago stories revisited, renown as bloody and bold;
confrontations of an infamous fiery beast with a daring dragon-slayer.

Recalling a Medieval legend of King Arthur and his beloved wizard, Merlin,
the account elaborates a nocturnal vengeful creature with reptilian traits.
Often referred to as a "wyrm", Draco was his name; a fire-emitting dragon.
Perceived so sinister, Mother Earth regarded his blood as poisonous fates.

Enchanting Arthurian sagas deemed The Great Dragon as dangerous and magical.
Ancient cartographers denoted special spaces on maps where dragons did abide.
Merlin and Draco had a special link; for each his wisdom and powers supernatural.
Folklore considers the grand beast to be Merlin's nemesis; or, his personal ally.

Should this zealous storyteller travel back to times of Middle Ages and Camelot,
many more amazing tall tales would be told by the modern day dragon-sayer.
Draco's treasure troves hidden and protected deep in caves, may not be sought.
Instead, the sole purpose would be to become a famous knight; The Dragon-Saver.

Challenges and battles of an infamous flying beast with any daring dragon-slayer
         from long ago myths and legends renown to be bloody and bold.
                   Also will be said by a dedicated dragon-sayer,
                   a wyrm-saving knight's new tales will be told.
