After a few long years both civilizations had grown larger and stronger so it was no surprise to Asus when the humans or “The Lamarians” as they called themselves, didn’t give their twenty-percent. Asus, knowing that if he were to fly to their village he would most likely be attacked, decided against confronting the humans. The humans had gotten much stronger because while dragons could lay eggs only once in their lifetime, humans could have almost as many babies as they like which caused a huge population change. As well as the population threat, the humans had developed new kinds of weapons that could harm the dragons such as bows and ballistas. The dragons did not take this news lightly and many of them were ready to attack. Though Asus …show more content…
At twilight the dragons flew out and attacked the humans sending them into disarray. In the midst of the fighting the human leader General Lamar was killed by one of the dragons. The humans became enraged, slaughtering the rebel group. The next morning, they declared war on Asus and the dragons, thinking it was him who sent them to assassinate their leader. When Asus heard of what happened he was put in a slightly bittersweet mood recognizing that the humans would hate the dragons and constantly be looking for a way to attack the dragons, but at the same time they would be weaker without their leader. The humans launched an attack the next day attempting to kill as many of the dragons as they could. It was a hard battle and the humans killed many dragons, but the humans ended up retreating. Over the next month the humans launched attack after attack, killing the dragons off until there were not many left. Asus realized that things were not going well for the dragons so he had to go to desperate measures. In his cave Asus forged a mighty weapon from the core of the Earth that he would use to attack the humans. He called the weapon “fire” and unleashed it upon the

Firstly, Leonidas receives a message from the Persian messenger that is sent and he asks for Earth and water in return. Secondly, Leonidas speaks to the Oracle and they tell him not to go to battle, but he does so anyways. Thirdly, he commands his army to build the Phocian wall because he knows that when the Persians strike them here it will allow them to fight less soldiers at once. Lastly, the 300 men and Leonidas all head north to the hot gates which is a narrow passage and prepare for battle. This is also where Leonidas meets Ephilates and he asks if he can be in the army, but Leonidas says he is not fit to be a Spartan. All of these events are similar to what happened in history. All of these things lead to the Battle of
Asoka came to the throne in 270 B.C. after a power struggle that ended in the death of one of his brothers. He was at first disposed to follow the example of his father and grandfather and complete the conquest of the Indian peninsula. In about 256 B.C. Asoka attacked Kalinga, a country on the east coast of Madras, in order to expand his empire, which he ruled as a tyrant at the time. Asoka succeeded in conquering Kalinga in the bloody war in which 100,000 men were killed, 150,000 injured, and thousands were captured and retained as slaves.

While I was distracted with my dagger, Beowulf had been scanning the massive room we were in and spotted the sword on the wall. He ran over to it and picked it up. The weapon was massive and heavy, forged by giants to be used by a huge beast like me, not a pathetic human like Beowulf. The blade glistened as he pulled it out of its sheath and swung it my way. All of a sudden, my body was filled with red hot pain. The clear water around us turned to a murky red. The smell and taste of iron overwhelmed me, and suddenly, I realized it was coming from
The Chorus informs the audience of the battle that occurred in the previous scene. The army of Polynices swarmed on the city, but Polynices was forced to flee before he could damage the city. The day before, the Argive Army attacked Thebes and was driven back. Choragos, the Chorus's leader, explains that "the wild eagle screaming," Polyneices, led the attack on his own home, but Thebes answered the battle cry. Choragos explains that God supported the Theban warriors since “God hates utterly the bray of bragging tongues”, or in other words, arrogant and prideful warriors such as Polyneices and the Argive army. Choragos and the Chorus share that two brothers, Polyneices and Eteocles, killed each other. Then the Chorus celebrates this ultimate Theban victory. Now, says the Chorus, is the time to celebrate, “to fill the temples, with glad thanksgiving for warfare ended”.
The queen laid down her sword at her feet and approached the beast. “No.” She stared into his eyes, reached out, and patted the dragon’s long snout. “The dragon does not want war and hate; in his eyes, I see what he desires. He wants a home and to be understood, the things all men and women want. He wants to belong and be loved.”
Dragons have long taken part in many cultures all over the world, spanning from the Celtic people in Ireland to ancient Japanese and Chinese beliefs. Their roles in history have affected wars, traditions, and many of our modern folklore and fairytales. These beliefs and ideas have long been subtly woven into our culture here in North America; and even though we no longer train warriors to fight and slay dragons, or listen for birds to point out weak spots in dragons armor, we are still surrounded by their tales, from flags to videogames, they are sleeping in the caves of our minds.

“Dragons. Four fully grown, enormous, vicious-looking dragons were rearing on their hind legs inside an enclosure fenced with thick planks of wood, roaring and snorting- torrents of fire were shooting into the dark sky from their open, fanged mouths, fifty feet above the ground on their outstretched necks.” (p286)
