#801 All This in a World Without Dragons- Lucas Southworth
This is an allegorical tale about allegorical story telling. This world is about fathers and sons and the passing of generations. Each boy must kill his father when he turns twenty. Killing a dragon slayer, makes you, yourself a dragon slayer. The dragons have long since been killed off, and with it, hope and discovery.
"We live in a world without dragons…it is a place where nothing is left to be discovered.”
A child becomes a man and kills off hope and discovery. He has lost the childish imagination where dragons exist. Unless a father (and a mother) decide early on to set their son on a different, riskier path.
“Find a dragon, he insisted, bring one back alive. If you do, everything might change. If you do, it might save us all.”
