The next book, though just as thick, you go through it much faster in about half an hour now that you got your reading engines all warmed up. Erod's autobiography reads more like your typical fantasy adventure book that you've half a mind to think it's really fiction, but then again this entire world feels like it's straight from some fantasy fiction. It starts with Erod's typical humble beginning story where he's the son of a squire, his training and so forth, and it's only about halfway into the book that it actually gets to to the dragon. The first half was mostly his training and upbringing which seemed far too idealistic to be realistic. As for the dragon, it said that he came from the deepest pits of the earth, and that his wings cast a foul darkness across the lands. It cursed everywhere that the darkness touched, causing the dead to rise and monsters to be born from shadows. Many kingdoms formed an alliance to slay the dragon and it's army, but it's powers were too much even for them. Though they won many victories against the dragon's monsters, they could never slay the dragon themselves. It wasn't until Erod took a silver sword blessed by the maker himself that he was able to seal the dragon away, and cast the sword back into the darkness it came from.

Once more, details about the dragon but not so much why you're here. That being said perhaps this pit the dragon came from might be relevant, considering you too came out from a pit. Though how that relates to the dragon you saw in your dreams, that connection was unclear. You certainly didn't see any silver swords in that pit and even the throwing knives you found were more on the rusty dull side. Again if it weren't for the fact you were in a fantasy world, the entire autobiography could be written off as some work of fiction by a novice novelist. There was, however, one thing that might be a decent lead. When Erod had obtained the silver sword, it was because he had also obtained the name of Arisen. What that meant the book did not explain, but you do vaguely remember from the previous book that many kings have been called Arisen because of their deeds in life, though only if they had slain a great beast threatening the lands, which was usually a dragon. There was one minor example about a king who slew some sort of troll, but even that turned out to be partly draconic.
