The species was dragons and we call the island Reptavia because the dragons speak in a language we have yet to decipher. There were six types of dragons on the island Icewings, Flamewings, Seawings, Knowledgewings, Strongwings, and Desertwings. But there was a problem between the six tribes because Queen Torch of the Flamewings boasted that the Flamewings are the best Dragons in the land. The problem was that she said this at the annual inter-tribal meeting which caused the most stirring with Queen Frost of the Icewings because she always felt that the Flamewings were kind of dangerous.

On April 26, 1964 just like any other day, I was walking around town with my friends acting ruthlessly. We had been in this neighborhood a couple times, usually we get into trouble. It contained: nice cars, houses, and an MMA (Mix Martial Arts) gym. I have been wanting to get in a mma or boxing class. Couple hours later, after my friends left I went back to the gym to see how it was. The gym was cool and huge inside. The best part about the gym one of the world's best MMA fighter was the owner of the gym, Bruce Lee. “In 1953, he began to hone his passions into a discipline, he studied kung fu” (“Bruce Lee Biography”).

It felt to Gilhain that he now lived on the Cardurleth. He dared not leave it, for the attacks of the enemy did not let up. And he trusted to no other to organize the defense. Not that others were incompetent; there were many who could do the task, but the responsibility was his alone.

Phones were buzzing as we tried to organize last minute plans, with the boys continually introducing complications that hindered us from our goal. The girls and I continued filling the air with plans for a day in Nashville, as the boys either interrogated us for details, or in Zach’s case, stopped replying all together.

Dragons are prevalent in myths all across the world. Eastern countries in particular hold dragons in the highest regard in their cultures. “The dragons of East Asian legend have sweeping powers.
