I'm sure some heroes did that during the war, if not dragons then maybe drakes or wyverns. Which is close enough for legends to run with. 

And Darius has no idea how old it is, besides youngish.

Also its funny but given a dragon's habits their numbers probably grew after the war collapsed the empires.

Before the war they would meet very organized hunting parties.
