WELCOME
         

        Dragons are mythical creatures, good and evil.  For Christians, the dragon stood for evil, Satan. The  ArchAngel Michael defeated the dragon, proving that good overcomes evil. The Ancient Egyptians had a similar myth. The dragon, Apophis, spread chaos and darkness over the earth each night, and aws overcome by the SUN GOD, Ra, each morning. While, in the Far East, the dragon is seen as a force for good. The Chinese dragon, LONG, is kinglike: he lives in rivers, lakes and oceans, and roams the skies. For over 2000 years, the Chinese people have performed special dances to him asking him to send them rain, to feed the earth and to bring them good fortune.

        AND of course the Greek Mythology. Remember the story of the Golden Fleece where Jason was supposed to get the fleece which was fiercely guarded by a DRAGON.   
           
         
        Well, we have heard a lot of stories about Dragons and we also know that they belong to the LIZARD species (yuck). You can say that they are GIANT FLYING LIZARDS, I don't really like that idea though, like dragons are part of historical romantic stories and lizards are such creepy crawly creatures. i like hearing stories about dragons but DEFINITLEY not lizrads.    
          
        Actually, a dragon is supposed to be a very fierce creature which breathes fire and destroys towns after towns without thinking "Hey I am causing so much destruction without any reasons", no way IT DOES NOT think that. So, the general perception is that dragons are mindless creatures hell bent on destruction and sacrifices.     

        Dragons are a very essential part of any fairy tale which has a knight in it who saves the princess or a beautiful (she has to be GORGEOUS) maiden from the clutches of a fierce dragon, a typical "KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR" fairy tale. Well, that reminds me of Saint George, the one who used to fight and kill dragons, he is very famous for that profession you know.    
            
        Well, you know not all dragons were evil, hell bent on destroying cities, there are some good ones too as the Chinese believe.    
           

         
         
        Some people say that dragons are not what they are portrayed as, you know they are meek poor creatures and stuff BUT that's the beauty of it all, they are supposed to be fierce, they are the lords of the sky, they often helped knights in winning battles. Knights used to ride them on battlefield to destroy their enemies. If we say that dragons are meek creatures, it just doesn't do justice to the magnificient creatures.   
            
        I believe in dragons and I believe that they are the most magnificient creatures I've heard of - the lords of the sky.
