Weapon Story
He had grown old.
The king's dauntless gaze had lost its light, and his stalwart body had grown soft. What's more, every ounce of fear and vanity he had gained with age now gnawed away at his heart.
The king was afraid, so he repeatedly ordered the invasion of neighboring countries so as to hold onto the lands he had been sworn to protect.
The king was afraid, so he tried to take everything through violence and oppression, for he no longer trusted his own advisers and vassals.
There was a dragon that had sworn fealty to the king.
This wingless creature would do anything the king commanded, for he had been saved by the king once, and sworn to repay this debt with his very soul. Even if the king's orders were folly and madness, the dragon would follow them to the last, for his king was justice itself.
One day, the dragon requested an audience with the king. He was covered in blood from his latest victim—the king's own son, who the regent had ordered the dragon to assassinate.
The bloody dragon hung his head low and said, "I cannot defy your orders, O king, but neither can I obey them any longer. I beg of you, kill me and grant me release."
This is a tale of a foolish king and a wingless dragon in a nation that fell centuries ago.
Even now, the wind blows ceaselessly across the grasslands. It blows just as it did on the day king and dragon made their pact.
