KNIGHTS - A Medieval Heroes

[Grey_Wolf]

Prologue

Thousands of years ago when Mankind in the shape of Cro-Magnon was appearing in the World one can hardly believe that it was on the very verge of annihilation. The great reptiles that had left their mark on the face of world had been long gone. But a greater threat was soon to rear its hideous head.

Then out of the cold North came fearsome scaly beasts spreading destruction in the form of fire and ice. These were the precursors of the Fire and Ice Dragons.

Then as now a group of special men and women was called upon to stand between these reptiles and the destruction of Man.

These were the first Dragon-Warriors.

With ingenious methods and specially made weapons disaster was staved off and those reptiles retreated that were not killed.

Millenia passed and Mankind evolved. Dragon-Knights took the place of Dragon-Warriors. But no one really believed that the reptiles would return - so the stance and vigilance was relaxed. The weapons were put away down in the deep cellars of the castles and special skills were forgotten.

But then – rumours began to spread – of fearsome scaly beasts spreading death and destruction across the northern world – but yet no one really paid them any heed.
