Once upon a time there was a wizard who dreamed of seeing a dragon. The magician had read many books about these fantastic creatures, and he wanted to meet them in person. So one day, he mustered up his courage and ventured into the forest, where a dragon was said to live.
The magician walked for hours, following the footprints and signs that indicated the dragon's presence. Finally, he came to a cave, where he saw a huge scaly tail protruding from the entrance. The wizard approached cautiously, and called to the dragon in a kind voice.
Hello, dragon. I am a magician, and I have come to see you. I don't want to hurt you, I just want to talk to you.
The dragon stuck its head out of the cave, and looked at the wizard curiously. He was a red dragon, with yellow eyes and sharp fangs. The magician was impressed by his beauty and the majesty of him.
A magician? - the dragon asked with a deep voice -. What do you want of me?
I want to know more about you, and about your species. I want to learn from you, and be your friend.
My friend? - the dragon mocked -. Humans are not friends of dragons. Humans fear us, hate us and hunt us. Why should I trust you?
Because I am not like other humans. I respect dragons, and admire their wisdom and power. I won't do you any harm, I promise.
The dragon looked thoughtful, then nodded.
Okay, wizard. I'll give you a chance. Come, enter my cave, and we will talk.
The magician entered the cave, and sat down next to the dragon. The dragon told him many things about his life, his customs, his legends and his secrets. The magician listened attentively, and asked him many questions. The wizard and the dragon talked for hours, and became friends.
Thus began the story of the wizard and the dragon, which lasted many years. The magician visited the dragon whenever he could, and the dragon taught him his tricks and his charms. The wizard and the dragon shared their knowledge, their experiences and their feelings. The wizard and the dragon loved each other, and protected each other.
But one day, the happiness of the wizard and the dragon was threatened by a group of hunters, who had discovered the dragon's cave. The hunters wanted to capture the dragon, and bring it to the king, who would pay a large reward for its head. The hunters surrounded the cave, and attacked the dragon with their arrows and his spears.
The magician, who was inside the cave, heard the noise, and came out to see what was happening. Seeing the dragon wounded and surrounded, the magician became enraged, and cast a spell against the hunters. The spell created a large explosion, causing the hunters to flee in terror. The wizard ran towards the dragon, and hugged him.
Dragon, dragon, are you okay? - the magician asked with anguish.
"I am wounded, wizard, but I will not die," the dragon responded weakly. Thanks for saving me, friend.
You're welcome, dragon. You are my friend, and I love you.
I love you too, wizard. You are the best friend I have ever had.
The wizard and the dragon looked at each other tenderly, and smiled. Then, the wizard healed the dragon's wounds with his potions, and the dragon recovered. The wizard and the dragon stayed in the cave, and remained friends. And thus ended the story of the wizard and the dragon.
