Welcome to all you that have come to sit by the fire with me. It pleases old dragon to see so many and look even your young have come. The young are the future of your race; the survival of your species and your planet has been placed in their hands. So I welcome all the young ones and I ask that they sit close to me by the fire. To see the world through the eyes of a child is a wondrous thing and is most welcome here. I can see that you all have many questions and I will try to share with you the answers to all of them. Please little ones do not be afraid of old dragon. We do not eat children; the flesh is too bland for our taste. We have been known to eat a few cats from time to time though; they taste good with ketchup. See I make a joke and some of you smile. This is a good thing as there is a great energy that comes from just a smile.
You must forgive me for I am very old and have lived many lifetimes. Sometimes my mind drifts off and I jump way ahead of myself. What ' s that little one? You ask me, how old is old dragon? Where do I come from? Your questions are true and just so let me give you the answers to them.
Some of us have walked long before the earth was born; I am the first of my kind and I have always been. We were angels of the highest order. Creator made us in his image and we walked the heavens above the earth realm; wandering and exploring the cosmos. We served Creator well and he allowed us to take on many forms. We chose to become dragon.
A dragon ' s heart is pure; its love for all things is unconditional. We that are dragon are bound by our honour to Creator and all living things great and small. Mother earth is also a living entity and we are also a part of her. We are her caretakers and her record keepers. We are healers, seers and we are teachers to all that seek.
Our knowledge is ancient; all that you have come to perceive comes from its beginnings. Many faiths are splinters of the ancient wisdom recorded in Creator ' s great library. All things are connected to one another.
Dragon ' s belong to no faith; yet we embrace all faiths.
We take from each, that which helps us to help our selves and others. The rest we set aside until it ' s needed. You ask where do dragons come from and how is it we come to live among you? Listen young and old alike and hear the tale of Nubia.
Nubia was a great planet situated amid the star clusters you have come to call Orin ' s belt. We created the sister planet to this earth realm. Our planet was much like yours and its forests, rivers, oceans were many. The climate was also like earth and life anew was everywhere. If you drank of its waters it was said to bring clarity of mind, body and soul. It breathed new life into all much like your fabled fountain of youth. I say fabled but I must tell you that sometimes fables and legends are born of truths. We had three moons and the stars were very bright and bold. I can still remember my home world as if it were yesterday.
Sometimes I long to return there, but I can not as it is no longer there. It was destroyed by those we cast down to the earth realm. The Battle of Nubia can never be forgotten as many perished in its wake including many of my young. In our travels amid the vast consciousness of the universe we saw and learned many things.
We watched on as some of the other sons and daughters of Creator became deviant in their ways. They became envious of what each other had and began fighting among themselves. Each side thinking they were right but both sides had become puffed up in their ways. They became angry with Creator for he called them to his side. Why do my children fight among themselves? Why are you not happy with that which I have given you? You are all equal and perfect beings. He said.
We are sentient beings. Did not you give us the gift of choice? We make our own choices and are we not created in your image? Can we not decide for ourselves that which is right and wrong? Why do you hide from us the vast knowledge of time indefinite? We choose not to listen to you Father for we have out grown our need to.
