[QUOTE="RMcCall, post: 6287733, member: 6774892"] [COLOR=#ffd700]"No, no, the KING was the dragon. Psychic dragon. I think those are purple. Nunpoldrn wasn't the dragon, that wouldn't make sense for the story! The king would just be like, 'Everyone, kill that dragon!' instead of just 'No, you can't have my daughter.' But maybe things were different back then." [/COLOR]Cinthia doesn't seem to entertain the idea that the story could have changed over time for any number of reasons.
