Drakon, Drako, Drago, Draco, Lindworm, Lung, and Tanin. There is a word for dragon in every language, and a meaning attached to that word. A whole culture clustered around it. It varies from a fear of the creature that swoops down to eat you, to the appreciation of the one which gave you fire, but none the less, the culture is there. Why does every culture have a dragon? Because they are real. These rare reptiles have many species, most breath fire, but poison is also common. Wings are also optional, as are legs with their being varieties with four, two, and zero legs. All have scales and hair somewhere, but some have skin, and others even have feathers! However, dragons of all sorts are increasingly becoming rare as human activities threaten them (through the capture and hunting of dragons) and their natural habitat (through the destruction of food webs and ecosystems, deforestation and global warming).

She was smiling in front of me and it looked very convincing. But I knew it was just a disguise, and behind it were countless other disguises. And only when I reached the end of those disguises, will I reach the source of her sadness. I could see tears falling down her chin behind the image of the smile she was showing me. And her actual mouth, that was forcing a distorted smile while gritting with sadness and regret.

"Ah." Luo nan yawned and opened his eyes. Outside the window, the sun was hanging high. After taking in the picture of the scene, Luo Nan felt a little stiff. He stayed overtime last night to catch up with a project, but he actually fell asleep? He subconsciously touched the phone from his trouser pocket and proceeded to see the time. [Unlock failed, please enter your password.] "???" Luonan was a little worried. Holding the mobile phone, he looked back and forth twice. This was not his phone. 'Which bastard stole my phone!'
