“Humans are like dragons, Grith decided. Both had the capacity to do good, and the capacity to do evil. Today, a lot had done evil, but she’d seen good, too. And just as she thought it was wrong to kill an evil dragon, she decided it was wrong to kill an evil human, whether witch, wizard, or mundane.”

“I wanted to thank you,” Grith explained. “You are the first human I have ever truly seen as a dragon-like creature. One that is like us, rather than like prey. It is difficult for me to dislike one that I see only as a food source, and my personal distaste for you has made me realize that you have progressed beyond that.” She pulled her lips back, long white fangs glinting in the moonlight. “I do not kill other dragons, but if for some reason, I was forced to kill you, nothing would remain of your body but ash. Not a single drop of blood or piece of flesh would be left.”

“Try not to use too much of your magic yet,” Paul replied, not particularly concerned as he waved his hand, wafting smoke away. “If you do, I’ll have to force-feed you, which I doubt will be fun for either of us.” He scratched the top of his head. “Do you prefer human meat? You did almost bite off one of your coworker’s hands. I’ve gotten special council permission to do whatever is necessary to take care of you, and I would like you to be as comfortable as possible.”

“Do not feed me humans,” Grith growled. “How can you feel that way towards your own species?”

“Listen my hatchling, for now you shall hear
Of the only seven slayers a dragon must fear.

First beware Pride, lest belief in one’s might
Has you discount the foeman who is braving your sight.
Never Envy other dragons their wealth, power, or home
For dark plots and plans will bring death to your own.

Your Wrath shouldn’t win, when spears strike your scale
Anger kills cunning, which you will need to prevail.
A dragon must rest, but Sloth you should dread
Else long years of napping let assassins to your bed.

‘Greed is good,’ or so foolish dragons will say
Until piles of treasure bring killing thieves where they lay.
Hungry is your body, and at times you must feed
But Gluttony makes fat dragons, who can’t fly at their need.

A hot Lust for glory, gems, gold, or mates
Leads reckless young drakes to the blackest of fates.
So take heed of this wisdom, precious hatchling of mine,
And the long years of dragonhood are sure to be thine.”
― E.E. Knight, Dragon Champion
