What Is The Legend Of Black Dragons
My name is Ravyn, and I am the black dragon. That may not mean anything significant now, but by the end of this tale you will realize that those words hold power, and meaning. I might just become a legend in your eyes. Allow me to elaborate on exactly what a black dragon is. There can only be one black dragon at a time. After the existing black dragon dies, then an egg appears in the shadowy Black Castle of Mirian, where the single, lonely egg lays in a huge nest in the throne room, where the future dragon may rule. It can take anywhere from 5 to 1,000 years to hatch. Black dragons cannot produce or breed to make more black dragons. This makes each black dragon unique, and as rare, if not more rare than the phoenix. The queen of the …show more content…
She only reinforces everyone’s belief of the deadly black dragon being savage and heartless.
Nearly all of them were, so I cannot blame them. The people of almost all worlds have been terrorized by at least one of the black dragons. Many black dragons were lazy, they just stayed in Mirian and destroyed the world there, then rebuilt it. Many people speak or write of the black dragon, but those legends are burned in its fire. A black dragon’s shadow upon the ground spells death and heralds doom. Some cults even adopt the symbol of the black dragon. Most of those cults don’t exist anymore. They were weak, not representing the black dragon well, not enough power to behold the great symbol of the dark dragon.
Us black dragons, we are gifted. Any other dragon, be it Chinese dragon, fire dragon, electric dragon, ice dragon, or any others, can only control or master one element, which is their own. Black dragons can control and master all of them. They also have a kind of ultimate power. This ultimate power has only been used by black dragons twice before, as the dragon has to be experienced and “Legendary”.
The power also kills the dragon. To use it is to sacrifice itself to destroy all of its enemies in a blaze

The fear was merely set aside as rumors of Cinder’s death spread. Of course they knew one would be born again, but for now they could rest easy.
On to my point. I am special because I have the capacity to feel emotion. You might think that the other black dragons, like Brynhildr, and Cinder act out of hatred of the human race, of all other things living. Or maybe out of jealousy. But that is not the case. Some of them acted out of boredom because they have nothing good to do. Others killed because that is what they were born to do. I killed because if I didn’t, they would send their knights to hunt me down and try to kill me. Of course, they can’t, but having some brave man swiping at you with a sword when you’re trying to sleep is not exactly pleasant. If they don’t leave me alone, they die. I don’t do that anymore. Anyway, I said I have the capacity to feel emotion. I was only born able to feel fear. All of the other emotions develop when I am around other things that feel emotion. Humans, for example. I’ll get to that later. Spending a lot of time with humans, just around them, talking to them, I slowly feel more emotions. At one point in this story, I will get to

    And here comes this huge winged beast, who breathes fire from its mouth; bringing the half of the kingdom down to ashes. A dragon has come to challenge our might of our hero. And as per the norm, despite his old age, our King accepts. He puts on his sword and armor once more, and combats the beast. Our king struggled for the beast had the upper hand. But we all know that a dragon is no match for the mighty Beowulf. Our king slits the dragon’s left wing holding its flight to lower grounds. Once our hero successfully placed himself into position, he cuts through the dragon’s skin and reaches for its heart. The dragon wriggled and fought but he was overpowered by our mighty Beowulf. He grabs a hold of the dragon’s heart and rips it from its body. The dragon completely falls down to the ground, dead, but leaving our hero poisoned to death. And here we are, mourning. But is that what our king would really want? I believe that if he were to attend his own burial, he would not want us to mourn, but to rejoice instead. For he died…

    The Elf in the novel Eragon is introduced to the readers when Eragon is placed in imprisonment and sees the Elf unconscious in the halls of the building. Elves are commonly derived from Norse mythology, which, is similar to the more common Greek mythology, but not exactly identical. The development of these creatures is closely derived from mythological descriptions of Dwarfs. The dragon, Saphira, is introduced to the readers when the stone, which is found to be an egg, hatches. Greek and Norse mythology both also speak of a creature known as a Dragon. Dragons are giant reptiles, in the fantasy genre the Dragon is typically fire-breathing dragons also tend to symbolise chaos or evil. During the development of the Dragon, Saphira Paolini (2011) wrote, “After all, how can a mere dragon expect to tell a man like yourself what to do? In fact, everyone should stand in awe of your brilliance of finding the only dead end. -Saphira” Dragons are commonly referred to as being alive in the Medieval time…

    “Wake up Dragonfire.” I jolt awake rubbing my eyes. I look up and see only smoke. The sun has been gone for years, who knows when it’s coming back. “We have a meeting at noon.” I look up to see Dragonfly glaring at me. Why we all have “dragon” in our names? Don’t go asking me. I get out of bed and get dressed. I run a brush through my dark brown hair while looking in the mirror. I haven’t bathed in days. I sigh and walk out to our makeshift camp, heading out to the meeting hall. I walk in and see my whole team staring at me.…

    Beowulf is an epic poem written by an anonymous Anglo-Saxon. In Beowulf the dragon is a very powerful character because he can represent both good and evil. It depends on the perspective you look at him in. He 's either standing for his culture and his dead race, or terrifying all the Geat people. The dragon represents protection, fierce, anger, fire, and past culture. Whenever the dragon appears in Beowulf, it stands for terror, anger, fear, and culture of his people.…
