DAY 4


As a result of Duncan’s persistent search of the elusive evidence of the dragon’s existence, he and his team found a site full of bones. He had a strong belief that at least half of it would be dragon bones.

The area was conducive for dragons. The high mountains with an intricate cave system provided the dragons with enough of heat despite the snow surrounding the outsides. The dark caves also provided a great place for shelter, and hibernation if necessary.

What Duncan didn’t know was there were some people in his team who thought he was crazy… Eccentric old goat, they called him, though he was neither.

Up till then, people in general believed that the dragon was a myth that co-incidentally existed in all parts of the world and transcended cultures. There were only two sites that remotely presented evidence of their existence.

The first was a mountain up in the Alps. The cave was covered with ice for over a million years. A group of mountaineers had hiked over the Alps. A sudden change in the weather resulting in a terrible blizzard had caused the mountaineers to get trapped up in the mountains. An avalanche that followed revealed the mountain where the three miserable mountaineers sought shelter throughout their horrible ordeal.

They found the cave to be surprisingly warm and comfortable for something that was right in the middle of the mountains.

When the weather improved slightly, they ventured deeper into the cave while waiting to be rescued. There they discovered the dead bodies of 2 creatures unlike anything any of them had ever seen before. It looked as though mother and child had died defending themselves against an unknown attacker.

Duncan was one of the mountaineers.

During the mountaineering incident, Duncan was in his final year of Palaeontology and Anthropology at university.
