Guardians of Il'ray
There weren't always dragons in the Valley. Within the curves of the hills, forest and rivers, the Ygg people lived quietly, safeguarded from the chaos erupting outside of the high cliff walls. Who would have thought that something so simple as a rock, or so I had thought, would bring such chaos into the place I had called home my whole life – my whole world turned topsy turvy.

There weren't always dragons in the valley. In fact, when we moved to the sleepy little town of Bonnydale there didn't seem to be a whole lot of anything. I was sixteen and accustomed to the fast pace of city life, so when we lost my dad and had to move in with my grandparents, it was quite the blow to my teenage existence. The hustle and bustle of my former life was suddenly diminished to a place where the most exciting thing to do was go pick up groceries at the general store. I was miserable. It was all so unfair and I made sure that everyone around me knew it. Little did I know that this quiet nothing town would become the setting for the greatest adventure of my life.

Summoning Fire
“There weren’t always dragons in the valley, you know,” I whisper from where we're tucked away, hidden under a low-growing bush. I hold my breath as the shadow sweeps over us, the enormous creature blotting out the sun as it makes its pass above.

There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. I remember the day when they first landed with their riders. We were just a small village with about five hundred people, not enough to be called a town. We rarely had travelers due to our area. Never ending dark forest full of cursed creatures on the east side, mountains that climb to the clouds on the north and south side, and a fierce river that will pull even the most experienced swimmers under,running on the west side. That’s why it was unexpected that they would land here.

“There weren't always dragons in the Valley. In fact before the great treaty of Dagalman such creatures would be murdered on sight, were they to breach a single inch into our land. No violators were spared, not even those seeking refuge from their own tyrannous leader.``

The Ballad Of Vallony Vignacious
There weren't always dragons in the Valley. Always had monsters of course, but none strong enough to be a proper tyrant. Back in the old days, the Valley was overrun by idiotic heroes blundering after petty monsters. Guess who was worse. The local monster causing mischief? Nope. Worse was the parade of shiny smiles and swords who sojourned to our Valley just looking for trouble; who fretted constantly over their "hero image" but never showed a jot of concern about property-damage.
