Child: Miss can you tell me another story

Lady: Why certainly would you like to hear about the Great Caretaker .

Child: No you told me that the last time.

Lady: Well how about the Dark Sovereign.

Child: You told me that story twice

Lady: Ok then, how about the Last Guardian or the Blind Monk

Child: No, these are all stories I heard before. Miss if you don't have any good stories then I'm leaving

Lady: Fine, I guess you don't want to hear about the Azure Dragon.

Child: The what Dragon.

Lady: The Azure Dragon, I was going to tell you about, but since your not interested...

Child: Tell me, tell me about the Azure Dragon.

Lady: All right Child I'll tell you. Long ago in a mountain not far here laid a hidden village inhabited by Dragons.

Child: A village of Dragons!

Lady: Yes Child, Dragons of each one unique ability, however there one type of Dragon that came only once every Thousands years, and only one of this type, The Azure Dragon. A Dragon with scales as deep blue as the Sea and shined as bright as precious jewel, these are born with so much magic they were seen as Divine.

Child: How so?

Lady: They could control every element, heal even the most serious of illnesses and injuries, but most importantly they could take the form of both man and beast.

Child: Wow.

Lady: Wow indeed, that is why when an Azure Dragon is born they would be the King of that village. However one year something different happened.

Child: What happened?

Lady: One year in particular an Azure Dragon was born, however the Dragon was the first female Azure Dragon, the Village first Empress, but an evil Sorcerer caught wind of this, you see for many years this Sorcerer tried to take over this village, and as soon as he heard about this he planed to make, this Dragon his Queen, so that night the Sorcerer snuck in to the village and into the temple to steal the hatchling, but the temples guardians was still awake and spotted the Sorcerer, the Guardian alerted the entire village. See that he would have to fight his way to the female hatchling, and that he did he used a forbidden magic Slaying every Dragon he could until it was him and the hatchling.

Child: Nooooo! It cant end like that.

Lady: Be patient child, that's not how the story in fact the true story hasn't truly began.

Child: What do you mean.

Lady: Let me continue then, the young hatching was alive long enough to see the Temple Guardian and the other Dragons that she saw as Mentors, friends but more importantly Family seeing them die in front of her filled her with so much rage that she had to release and she knew who to release it on.

Child: Did she kill the Sorcerer

Lady: With that much Anger inside the young hatchling, he stood no chance, with one blast she destroyed the Sorcerer.

Child: Wow is that it.

Lady: No child, there's much more. Many years after that the young hatchling grew and learned everything she could to become a true Azure Dragon, was another thing she felt, loneliness. With all of the Dragons gone she had no to keep her company, the only people that came to the village were bandits, but they only wanted to steal from the village, and she did not wish to leave the village afraid that everyone would be just like the Sorcerer or the Bandits. One day a Wuju master and His student the Monkey King passed through the village, tired and exhausted they decided to stay the night in the village think it was abandon, little did they know that the dragon was watching.

Child: Was she going to eat them.

Lady: No dear child, she just watched them, she thought they were thief's at first, but unlike the many thief's and bandits that came before they didn't immediately go pilfering the homes or the temple. This got the Dragon curious. That night while the strangers and the dragon slept, group of bandits quietly entered the village, but they did not come for Gold nor Jewels, they came for the head of the Azure Dragon.

Child: But why she didn't do anything wrong, she was just protecting the village.

Lady: Yes it was that way to us, but to them she was nothing more then a monster.

Child: She didn't go after them right.

Lady: I am afraid she did, she was not only concern for the Village but for the two strangers as well and it was a grave mistake for it was a trap while some the bandits distracted her, there were other hidden out of the Dragons sight until she was close they unleashed the chains and pined down the Dragon.

Child : This cant possible be the end for her.

Lady: Let me finish child, the Bandit leader ready his blade to chop of the Dragons, when he was interrupted by the Wuju master and his student. The battle between the Bandits and the two didn't last even a minute, the teacher and student won, and freed the Dragon but by the time they did She was so tried at she changed into her human form, the two men were shocked by this but they still choose to help her.

A few minutes the Dragon finds herself in the company of the men that saved her, feeling grateful for what the two men had done, she told them who and what she was and about the village, they couldn't help but feel were sad for her, living here all her life all alone, so they both agreed to stay with the dragon just for this night, for once in her life the feeling loneliness was gone.

Child: But they were only staying for night, wouldn't she be lonely again.

Lady: Let me finish the story then, morning soon came and the two men were to leave, the Dragon saw them off, but before they left, the student asked the Dragon if she would come with. It was a conflicting chose for her, to stay in a place were she comfortable but lonely, or to go out in to the world full of danger but have people by herside.

Child: What did she choose.

Lady: She choose to go.

Child: So now she would never be alone

Lady: That is right.

Child: So what happened next.

Lady: What happen after that.....Is a different sorry.
