Baby Dragons

Centuries ago, there once lived  a pack of ruthless brutes, known to destroy all specks of humanity, has lived among the ancient Amurlas. The Amurlas abhorred the "mnyama" (Swahili for beast). Each night  warriors of  Nyurt tribe traveled long distances towards the Amurlas to commute their minds; arguing that a small, indigenous group of "Baby Dragons" ( originally, the name was Dragon of the Lands) were living amongst them in peace, such that they have created a human-beast like bond. Immutable, the Amurlas minds were fixated on dragon's fire-breathing, rage and destruction. Having said that, it seemed to the Nyurt, that the Armulas were not seeing both sides of the mnyama. It was decided that the chief of the Nyurt tribe will willingly walk into the fortress of these so called "beast". In the year of 160 B.C. the Nyurt's chief, Azize ( means powerful), followed through with his decision to walk right into Dragon territory, along with a baby dragon by his side for protection. The Armulas did not see this as a chance to attack the dragons while Azize distracted them; amused, they assumed that the chief's perception has been fooled and he will soon cease to live. Dragon's slowly approached the Nyurt's chief with curiosity, the baby dragon is what caught their eye, wondering if she was food or another rivaling dragon. The chief called for one of his underlings in attempt to make an offering to the dragon. You see, in the Nyurt's eyes dragons granted anyone immortal life as long as they make a sacrifice, but to the Armulas, dragons only took life away, thus  dragons should be destroyed. The dragon was benign and decided to take Azize's offering; the Armulas were flabbergasted that the dragon did not breathe fire or gobble Azize the moment he became vulnerable!  From that point on, the Armulas were starting to see a new age of dragons, no longer just seen as fire-breathing beast.
