Lair of the Gold Dragon

Graphic Intense. Please be Patient. It's worth it.

Welcome Wanderer

You have traveled far to end up in a lair such as this.
If you are not afraid, maybe you should be... Do I sound mean? hehe!
Since you are here, I guess I should give the tour. That's what my Master
wants me to do. My Master has taught me to be tolerant of our visitors.
I am beginning to look forward to the humans visits. Some of you are very nice.

I am the Gold Dragon and this is our new lair. I now have a son. His name is
Sputter. You must watch your head. Sputter likes to fly low and he has just
learned how to breath fire. We called him Sputter because that is all he did
when he tried to breath fire. I guess I may have to rename him. Huumm!
Then again, you were not renamed when you learned how to Walk! or Talk!
This Lair used to belongs to my Master. My Masters' name is Sir David.
Sir David said that this Lair belongs to both of us. We have lived together
long enough to share in the wealth. This is the first time I have ever owned
anything. It is the humans that own everything, including critters.
I will tell you the story, how Sir David and I met. It was a wonderful time.

Sir David saved my life many years
ago and I have been faithful to him ever since. He does not expect
it, but I feel it is only right. Besides, the law of the dragon requires
it. Sir David saved my life by severing the heads of a Hydra. I was
about to be killed and eaten when, with his sword flaring, he decapitated
all five heads in very short order. The Hydra was called Leech; now we call
him just, dead.
My Master brought me here and nursed me back to health. We have
been together for about thirty years. Oh! I have a picture here.

I'm very glad he is now dead.
Sir David had a mistress, but she passed
away about five years ago. She was a gorgeous woman. She was
captured by a rogue blue dragon. Those blue dragons, you just
can't trust the lot. Some of my kin are blue and I'm leery about them.
But Sir David tracked him down and disemboweled him. Then he cut him
up and, with help, ate him. It took a week. He gave most of the meat to
the critters and the peasants of the forest. There are a lot of homeless
and hungry critters out there. His mistress was named Gwendaleyn.
I have a picture of her talking to me. I don't think Sir David would mind
if I show it to you.

She really liked me! Well... she liked all critters. We played for hours
on end while Sir David was at work spreading the word of peace.
We are building a Castle; actually, we are really refurbishing a Castle. It was
abandoned several years ago, or so we thought, and Sir David is hoping to
fix it up for us and the rest of the creatures of the realm. He has told me
about his plans and asks my advice about certain things. He is trying to
teach the rouge dragons to be more tolerant and to stop killing everything.
He will make a special cave just for that. There will also be a nursery for
dragons to hatch their young without fear of being killed by predators.
Sir David is a rascal. He has made it difficult to tour the Castle. In order
to advance to the next area of the Castle, you have to find the key or
lever. They are placed in plain view but easy to overlook. You will not
find the key to move on unless you are at peace. You see, the Castle is
haunted by deceased dragons and their torturers. You must purify your
spirit. Suppress your fears and control your hate. Humans are the only
species that kill their own. Genocide seems to be the passtime of the
humans. Hate, like anger, is the impediment of the warrior. You must
bring out the warrior in you. Forgive your enemies and embrace your fears.

The portal is not far. You may wish to finish the tour of the forest
and caves, then come back to the Portal. While you wander become one
with your surroundings. Remember this, you breath the same air that the
trees and plants produce, see the same images, walk the same paths, and
revel at the same wonders of Mother Earth as all the creatures of the realm.
We are all at one with our surroundings. Do not destroy yourself.

As you wander through the lair you will find several entrances.
One, and I think the best, is of my family and the hardships we went through.
Many centuries, my family has fought
for their lives. For some reason when humans see us they think only of
killing us. It has only been the past decade or so that some humans have
opened their eyes and realized that we could live in harmony. I hope you are
one of these humans. Even Sir David has had bad experiences with dragons,
Blue ones! But he also knows that there is good and bad in all creatures that
inhabit the realm.
Oh!! I have a picture of the BLUE dragon that took ,
Gwendaleyn in the prime of her life.

Well I guess he had a touch of green also.
Sir David has finally filled this void. He has visited The "Camelot Gala Event"
and come home with a beauty. She is a Lady Warrior and is beautiful. We have a
picture of her at the end of my tour. When you enter the Dragon Realm Archives,
you will see all colors of dragons in battle and in peace. The pictures of the dragons
in peace are not very old, for obvious reasons. Be most respectful when you enter, for
most of the dragons in these pictures are now dead, aftermath, of the war.

There are entrances that only humans go through. One tells of Sir David's' hobbies
and adventures. I can just imagine the adventures that Sir David has gone through.
I suspect he faired well. Look at his awards page.
He has several, given to him by inhabitants of the realm. He is very proud of these
awards. If you want to know something about Sir David, click on the button...

I hope that I have done my job well. If I did, please tell My Master.
You can reach him at my mail site. He reads all the mail (I can't read).
One last thing. The art work on this site has been donated. At the
bottom of the page are the names of those that were kind enough to
help me. Some have links or email addresses. Write them and let
them know you liked it. If your name is not mentioned and you see a
picture you did or if you know who an author of a picture is, please let
me know, so I can give credit where credit is due.
Those of you who have been here before will notice that the "Banner Den"
is gone as well as all advertisements. That's because this Lair is mine and
the only banners that go on this site are the ones I want. This site does
not cost me anything per month. It is the best deal around. I have a banner
to the Host at the bottom of the page. If you sign up, I get a commission.
This will help me keep the torches burning. I hope you enjoy your visit.

The journey to the Castle is a long one. Be sure to take nourishment
When you reach the clean up page,
that is as far as I have got so far. 12-30-06.
Enjoy!

The Portal is operational.
Go in peace! Then return in one piece!
