1 The First Conquest.

In a burning village a scene of slaughter could be seen, all the villagers were dead, some looked to be trampled or smashed, some seemed to have endured more torture than others, others looked to have died fighting or trying to escape something.

But amongst this scene of horror two figures stood, one a ordinary man facing the other,

the other a fearsome dragon.

the dragon asked the man what was his name.

The man told the dragon it could call him vale.

the dragon offered the man a wish, the man wished for the power to summon.

the dragon granted the mans wish at a cost, the man must make an exchange of equal value for his summoning, a basic rule of magic yet this was not the same, it was not just mana that could be exchanged by this man but anything of equal value.

The man asked the dragon for a second wish, the dragon permitted it but at a higher cost of course.

The mans second wish was for the dragons blood, the dragon granted the mans wish and gave to him his blood.

The man first drank some of the blood, then the dragon spoke. "the cost for my blood is a curse, you shall be cursed to conquer human."

the man took the remainder of the dragond blood and conjured a knight born of death and had it kill the dragon, and then the man walked away uttering these words. "Then conquer I shall."

that was the mans first conquest but not his last.
