This is the last post I'm going to make on this, as I don't care
whether you use dragons as giant lizards or dragons as flying
fire-breathing creatures. They don't exist. They aren't real. At most,
in the case of giant lizards, they once existed, but they certainly
didn't exist in conjunction with people at all, and especially people
capable of forging weapons.
