Alex nodded. 'Sounds like an interesting man. I'll have to chat with him at some point.' He thought about other dragons he'd heard of. From the few clues he'd gotten, it was almost like this dragon was one of the ancients, which was basically the word for any dragon which was over 10,000 years old. Most dragons achieved that age, now. If you had survived the time of knights, you were more likely to survive as a dragon. It was very rare a dragon would die of old age, it was more often illness or murder.
