Whereas,
during the dark ages, dragons are known to have had a reputation for
purposes that were evil and violent, they did in fact provide a very
necessary service of protection and defence, for which they were amply
rewarded by the protected - a situation not unknown in Chicago in more
recent times.
However,
at the Concordat of Worms (n.b. It is
essential to bear in mind that only dragons may call each other 'worm'.
Others do so at their peril.) which was held
in the year 984BN (before Nog-time),
the Meeting felt that sufficient material treasure, had been amassed for
any conceivable purpose. It therefore resolved that a DRAGONS' FRIENDLY
SOCIETY be formed and that the treasure should be placed in cold storage.
A Treasurer was sought and naturally the post fell to Grolliffe, partly
because, being that rare figment, an Ice Dragon, he would relish the
environment, and partly on account of his laziness which in his case
amounted to a staunch preference for sleep rather than wakeful activity.
During the
last century Grolliffe's admirable slumber has been considerably disturbed
by the scraping of electronic internetting, and consequently the
possibility of his reawakening has increased. To avoid this the Concordat
has reconvened and the following action has been taken: the cold cave has
been, as it is now said, 'screened'. A new, mortal, but fully accredited
DRAGONS' FRIENDLY SOCIETY has been formed to attend to the recognised
human interest in related matters.
For this
institution the post of Treasurer has fallen to a latter-day honorary
dragon by the name of Loaf (of Liverpool).
