I can not help but wonder why they would do this to me. I have been at peace with these humans for many years

For 300 years I have guarded my treasure. My family and I had taken it from a hu gentlemans gentlemans town that we once fumed upon. I took my share and place it on the upland heath concealed in a barrow. No man should have seen it or even caught a reflection of these jewels scintillating in the light of the sun. I was isolated from this world because of what I am, the fire-drake, they margin call me. When Hygelac was king I did non lambast his people often, even when the virgin ruler came to power for 50 years I did non bother his kingdom.A dirty human then snatched whizz of my treasure pieces safe out of the barrow. The day I came back to my lair I knew something was missing. The infrequent cup do of cash and jewels had disappeared. Angry and full of rage I set forth to seek out the wretched thief, while go to my barrow numerous of time to see if my eyes had deceived me. The bullion treasure-cup was legato no where to be found. I testament burn them all to ashes.Th e furor that I possessed was uncontrollable. I could feel the anger slowly devising its wherefore done my body, and until I found the thief I was spillage to contain it. There were so many of these creatures how was I to k directly which one had my treasure-cup. They are all alike it does not matter who stole my gold treasure-cup. Do not think to start anything with these humans Draco, I false around to see that it was my father and the leader of my kind, Drace. You do not understand. I will not let these so called humans take return of me. It was just one golden treasure-cup that is allWhy is Drace not agreeing with me? It is that it was my treasure-cup and they came and daunted me first I roared back. You are on your own then. For if one gold treasure-cup is worth starting a war over then so be it But let this be known that I will not help you in any way. This is your appointment. But let me similarly warn you of a man called, Beowulf, for he is unlike the rest of their kind.With that, Drace left, and I was alone once again.The fact that my family was not on my side did not help the fact that I wanted to conceal my anger until the rightly time. I went out and nearly burned everything to the ground. That was my big mistake for now my barrow was now visible to any eye. I knew that they would soon go on after me. I knew that some of these humans were not cowards. I began to rise myself for the upcoming battle. I did not have much to fear, for my breath could do more harm than all of their swords combined. It still would have felt keen to know that I had my family behind me.Shhh.. What was that? I know that they could not be coming for me so soon.Sweat begins to pour from his pores.I must reckon that they are only humans.As the barbarians moved up the mound towards me I could see their leader very clearly. For he walked with his head high and get wind the strongest of all. This must be the man, Beowulf, that my father was talking of. But somethin g about him caught my eye, why he did not look his age, but in his eyes I could tell that he had gone through many winters. Gaining back my arrogance I proceeded upon them.Ha Look at that old fool. Does he unfeignedly believe that he can defeat me.The leader prepared himself for battle by putting up his shield.Ha That shield will not protect you old fool.The man Beowulf swung his sword and I roared as it made contact with my body. The strength of this blow was something that I had never felt before. I was sure I had been wounded, but as I look not even a scratch was on me. Im invincibleThe look of knock down replaced the courageous expression Beowulf once had. I enveloped him with a huge cauterize of fire I produced at that exact moment. The other humans with him ran come to like cowards towards safety. The leader was left there fighting off the flames. I stopped in rejoiced in my glory, but the second I was tone ending to end his life, the only noble warrior of his pushed him out of my grasp. This man was trying to render his leaders life.He was whispering something to him in a language I could not make out. Roar I rushed at them and through the flame I could see the man protecting his leader. The leader shudder stood up and swung his great sword-blade and hit my head. Staggering, I saw the sword break. campaign towards them I sunk my fangs into the throat of the man, Beowulf. As I turn I felt the blade of another sword. This time there was pain. The other man had drawn his sword upon my body and I was wounded. My vision began to fail and in pain I try to gather my strength back. Beowulf removed an butt from his corselet and sharp sensations overwhelmed me.
