In many stories knights were sent to kill dragons who endangered their kingdoms.

This fairy tale is set in a time when there were no more dragons in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, or most of the European countries. This fairy tale about the Last Dragon that you will read here will reveal whether the dragon that lived near the kingdom of Lavenderia long ago was truly dangerous, or just misunderstood. This story takes place a very long time ago. The last dragon lived long before what we have learned of "English History" began. The last real live dragon was known to be living somewhere in a small European kingdom. He lived in one of the huge caves found amidst the red rock hills near the kingdom called Lavenderia. He was an awesome dragon that measuered sixty feet long and had huge beautiful wings. Now the King of Lavenderia, King Kyanight, had one daughter, the very lovely, Princess Sapphire. According to tradition, when a Princess in the kingdom of Lavenderia turned eighteen she was to be tied to a tree near a dragon's cave. Then a brave Prince from another kingdom was expected to come to rescue her by slaying that dragon to win her hand. But this was the Last Dragon, and Princess Sapphire really didn't want to slay the Last of the Dragons. Instead she plots a way to change history and save the Last of the Dragons. But can she devise a plan that Prince Citrine will help her with and that both of the royal families in their two Kingdoms will accept?
