The Dragon's Death

There weren’t always dragons in the valley. They’d been driven here, years ago, as people moved into the areas opposite the mountains. Their cats and pigs let loose hunted for dragon eggs, and the huge rats that stalked cities stalked dragon nests as well. Their numbers dwindled, and survivors from all over fled into the valley, turning it into a cutthroat land of mismatched species.
