The Half-Blood Calamity
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. At least that is what my mother tells me. When she was a little girl she used to play in the river there. Mother says that there were movies, and fireworks, and the most amazing foods with spices, fruits, and delectable sauces. There were cars fueled by water. And people would play sports or create art simply for the fun of it! How they had time for fun still astounds me. Mother likes to tell me that the people of the city were dream-chasers; and that her home used to be the technology capital of the world.
