Greetings my friends. :8)

    One story I can tell you is how I met Avalon a very young Magical Dragon, and where I would learn more and to refine my magical skills. Also how I was able to help them with a problem they had. I must warn you ahead of time. There something's I cannot go into to much detail about.

    It all started one day while I was flying over a land I had never been too before. When I heard a commotion from below me next to a cliff face. Taking a closer look I saw a very young Dragon backed up against the cliff with about twenty men standing around him waving swords and spears. They were slowly moving in on him and I knew they meant to kill him. I let out a very loud roar and dove down on the men. As I dove I started increasing my size and shooting flames out my nostrils. The men all stopped and turned to see what was going on. The look on their faces was one of complete terror when they saw me coming. It only took a second before they dropped everything and started running for their lives. I chased them down the hill away from the young Dragon, shooting flames over their heads. They looked so funny to me, the way they were running and screaming that I could not follow them any farther. I had to turn away from them before they heard me laughing.

    As I returned to the young Dragon I decrease my size back to normal. I was still laughing as I gently landed in front of him. He was still scared, only now he was scared of me. So I tried my best to stop laughing long enough to introduce myself. It went something like this:

Me: Greetings little one, my name is DragonMay, I only want to help you.

Avalon: Greetings DragonMay, my name is Avalon of the Morry Clan.

Me: Pleased to meet you Avalon. Are you hurt?

Avalon: No Sir, I'm not hurt. Thank you for your help. I feared that they would kill me.

Me: As long as you are not hurt, then all is well. I don't think they will be back to bother us for awhile, they will be to busy washing themselves and their cloths. (Grinning) And please call me May.

Avalon: (Giggling) Yes Sir, I mean May, Sorry.

Me: Do not be sorry my small friend. Do you live far from here?

Avalon: Ok, (smiling) I live on the other side of these mountains. I was on way home from my walk when I spotted a Dragon from the Torran Clan. They are a small but mean clan that likes to fight. We all try to stay away from them. I feared that he would harm me so I tried to go out around him. That's when the men seen me and chased me here.

Me: Hummm, Would you like me to accompany you home? If we come across him I'll deal with him.

Avalon: Thank you again. And yes I would like that, I'm sure my father would like to thank you also.

    So off we went. After a short time I shrunk down in size some more so that we were walking at the same pace. This seamed to make him happy. After about a half-hour he started to slow down. He said he was getting so tiered from everything that happened to him today. So I suggested that I fly us to his home. He accepted my offer and as soon as I grew large enough for him to ride comfortable on my back he climbed on and I took off.

    As we cleared the top of the first mountain we saw three other Dragons coming towards us. They did not look like Avalon so I asked him if they were from the Torran Clan. And he said yes. I could feel his grip on me tighten and could hear the fear in his voice. So I stopped moving forward and turned my head back to him and told him to climb on to my neck just below my head and to hold on to my mane. As soon as he was ready I started to increase my size till I was four times the size I was. I then started forward again. The three Dragons never stopped and I think they thought I never did either. They mistook my increasing in size for just moving closer to them.

    The one in the lead let loose a ball of flame at me. So I flared up and let it harmlessly hit me in the chest. At this point I let out a roar and shot out some light flame of my own engulfing all three of them. It was not hot enough to harm them, it was more a warning. That got their attention and they all stopped. I told them that the Clan of Light trained me as a warrior, and that, I had no fight with them. If they attacked me I would defend my self. They turned away and let me pass. I could hear Avalon giggling from in my mane. And had to smile myself.

    He did not say any more till we neared his home and he called out that the caves in the mountain to the right was where he lived. As we got closer I could see many Dragons like Avalon coming out and looking at us. Five of the biggest ones lifted off and headed towards us. Avalon said the third one from the right is his father and his name is Horvan. I was just about to ask Avalon if one of them was his father. He must have been reading my thoughts for I never had a chance to get the words out and he had answered me. At that point for the first time ever, I heard in my head the thoughts of his father and the others coming to meet us. Before I could respond with a greeting his father was thanking me for saving his son and seeing him home. He also welcomed me to his lair for as long as I cared to stay. But he said I would have to shrink back down to my normal size if I were to fit inside his cave. (At this I heard giggles coming from Avalon) At which point I realized that I had not decreased my size from the run in with the Three Dragons of the Torran Clan. Slowly I decreased my size so that Avalon would not fall off. And joined with the others and landed at the Clans meeting grounds.

    After landing I lowered my head to the ground and let Avalon climb off. Upon raising my head back up I found my self-surrounded by all the members of the Clan. I think they realized that I never used telepathy before, because I could not hear anything in my head. Horvan stepped forward and speaking explained that till I learned how to use it they would not use telepathy with me. He then said that they were preparing a meal and would I join them so that we could get to know each other. I gladly excepted their offer. Following him we made our way to a large spread of food that was being put out. The table we were at was a very large slab of rock polished smooth on the top and sides. Resting on smaller blocks of the same type of stone. All around was tables of different heights, and the other Dragons where all arranged around the tables according to size. Except for Avalon, he sat next to me. His father explained that he was aloud to sit with us because of me.

    The food was excellent and as they had told me, no telepathy was used. Everyone talked out loud, and by the end of the meal, what happened that day was gone over several times. Plus I found out a lot about them and they about me.

    I found out that they have lived here for several thousand years. They came here looking for a peaceful place to live and practice their magic. Until a hundred years ago they had. That was when the Torran Clan started coming into the area. At first not much happened, but as time went on attacks started to happen more often. No one has been seriously injured yet, but a few attacks would have been bad if they had not stopped when they did. After what I did to the attackers today I was asked if I would be able to help them. Seeing that I had nothing else to do. I wanted to help them and also to learn what I could from them. I said I would see what I could do.

    They have great magical powers, but cannot use it to harm another Dragon because of their beliefs. So in exchange for my help they would take me in and finish my learning of the magical arts. But first I had to swear an oath.

First: That I would never use what they taught me to harm another Dragon.

Second: That I would never divulge what I learned to any non-Dragon.

Third: That I would never divulge anything they teach me to another Dragon not pure of heart.

So I did.

    And with that done they started teaching me right away. About all I can say about what they taught me was that it has helped me a number of times through out my life and I will be forever grateful to them for that. I soon found out that I was a natural at telepathy and very quickly started using that form of communication to talk with them. It is so much faster and easier to understand one another than talking is.

    On the second day with them, I asked Horvan to take me to where we could see the lair of the Torran Clan. We left right after Breakfast and flew about two hours to a high mountain peak were we landed low on one side. Then climbed up to the top where there was a ledge we could sit on and look over the edge. He sat with me telling me everything he knew about them. The leaders name was Dracon, and they were a warrior clan that broke of from another because Dracon had a run in with the leaders of his clan and left taking with him those that felt the way he did. They would raid the human villages and surrounding farms. That was why the humans attached his son. Things had been getting worse for sometime now. I watched them for awhile before going back with him.

    That night I went for a little flight of my own to pay them a visit. Before getting near their lair I increased my size so that I would be larger than their leader Dracon. As I approached their lair I called out a greeting that I did not come to fight and wished to speak to the leader of the Clan. As I landed just outside the area of their lair, five of them came out of the lair. The largest among them came forward while the rest stayed where they were. He stopping on a rather large rocky area and called out to me that his name was Dracon, he was the leader of the Torran Warrior Clan. If I wished to speak I should come forward and we would talk. As I came forward I noticed there was a depression in front him so that he would be higher than the others he was talking to. His face gave away his surprise for only a second when he realized that I was still taller than he was even with me sitting in the depression. As I looked at him I just smiled. What was said went something like this:

Me: My name is DragonMay, and I hope we can talk.

Dracon: Are you the one that chased off three of my warriors yesterday?

Me: Yes that was me, they attacked me for no reason so I gave them a warning blast.

Dracon: They said you are a Warrior of the Clan of Light.

Me: I am not from any Clan. What I said was, the Clan of light trained me as a warrior, and that I had no fight with them. If they attacked me I would defend myself. While I was with the Clan of Light I had achieved Warrior grade. When I left they gave me my warrior name and said that although I could not belong to any clad I would always be treated as one of them if ever I returned.

Dracon: If that is so, then I welcome you to my lair Warrior. What can I do for you?

Me: I'm here to talk to you and to find out why I was attacked, and to let you know that I will be staying near here with the Morry Clan for awhile. I also wanted you to know that I do not want them to be attacked anymore, and that they are now under my protection. I have no fight with anyone. If any of them are attacked again, I will take it as an attack on me.

Dracon: And do you think that you can stop all of us by yourself? What makes you think we will even let you leave here?

Me: To answer your first question. Yes, if it comes to that. To answer your second question. If you tried to stop me from leaving, YOU would be the first to fall. This is the word of one Warrior to another. (As I said this I stood and increased my size half again what I was) The other Dragons were close enough to hear what was being said, and hearing my last remarks and seeing what I did. They started to back away from us.

Dracon: What do you want from me? (He only showed the slightest fear)

Me: What I want is your word as a Warrior that you will leave them alone.

Dracon: And if I don't?

Me: (giving him a look that could have killed) Do you really want to find out?

Dracon: Very well, One warrior to another, I swear to stop attacking them. (Then gritting his teeth) But you better watch your back!

Me: That's fine. I only give one warning and you have been given it. The next time that I am attacked there will not be another. (I said this loud enough so that the other could hear me) I will leave now. Just remember what I said.

    At this I took off right in front of him. Normally as a show of respect one would wait for permission to leave. Then back away before lifting off. But my blood was boiling at that point and I was not going to show him any respect.

    As I was climbing I hear him giving orders for the other to kill me. I waited for them to get close enough, and then turned. All four of them let go with flames. Expecting this I just rolled to the right letting the flames pass by. When I started towards them I shot a flame at the two on the right side engulfing them. They fell from the sky landing in the trees below. They were not dead, but they would not be fighting with anyone for a while. I then turned towards the other two. They had split up and were trying to get me between them. Turning on the left one I attacked at high speed heading straight at him. The tactic had the desired affect on him. Causing him to turn to the side to avoid hitting head on with me. As I passed him, I reach out with my right claw and slit the soft skin of his right wing. Before he even started to fall without the use of that wing, I was already turning to face the last one. Upon seeing what I did to his fellow warriors he turned away and left at a rather high speed. I could see Dracon still standing where I left him, watching and screaming. So instead of going after the other one I went straight at him. I shot another flame towards him, striking his tail and charring it black. He quickly turned and tried to get away but was not quick enough. As I passed over him I grabbed with my front claws just in front of his wings and my back claws gripped his hind quarters. At the size I was, I was able to lift him into the air. I went right into a loop and on the down side of the loop I released him just above the same depression I had just moments before been sitting. He didn't have time to stop himself and hit the dirt hard. As he lay there stunded I turn towards the others that had been looking as though they were going to attack. As I headed towards them I roared who was next and they all dropped down in a position of respect. I then turned back to Dracon, he was just starting to get up, and when he saw me looking at him he dropped into the same position. Knowing he now got the message. I turn away and flew back to my new, but temporary home.

    While I was with the Morry Clan there were no more attacks on them. A few more attacks were made against me but they turned out like the first one did. I stayed with them for close to a hundred years before I took my leave and moved on. I have gone back over the years too visit with them. Avalon is now mated and has two children of his own. They call me uncle whenever I am there. As for the Torran Clan I learn on one of my visits that they broke their word right after I had left. But, while I was there learning magic, just incase something like that happened. I was also teaching them how to defend themselves with out using their magic. There were only a few small attacks made in the beginning. But not long after a larger one was fought, this one was to be the last one. The battle ended and the Torran left the area when Dracon was defeated. He was the only one that had died from the wounds he recieved in the fighting that took place. Seams with him gone the rest of them no longer wanted to fight.

Well that's all for now. Maybe later I will tell another story of my life. It has been a very interesting life if I do say so myself… :8)

I am now up to Ten pages which currently have 175 Scam Emails with 35 Scam Emails on each of the first four pages and 177 Lottery Scam Emails with 37 Lottery Scam Emails on the first page, and 35 Lottery Scam Emails on the other four pages. I also have 22 email/lottery scam pages where I replied to the scammers. Along with one page on Chase bank scam emails, a page with other bank scam emails, a page with scam job offers, and a page about work at home scams. My internet Scam Chamber will continue to grow as I find the time to add all the other scam emails I have and keep getting.

You will find that I add onto it, and remodel it whenever I become bored with the way it looks inside.

There have been over four million visitors to my lair since I opened it.
