1. The Lion and the Mouse

￼

A lion was once sleeping in the jungle when a mouse started running up and down his body just for fun. This disturbed the lion's sleep, and he woke up quite angry. He was about to eat the mouse when the mouse desperately requested the lion to set him free. "I promise you, I will be of great help to you someday if you save me." The lion laughed at the mouse's confidence and let him go.

One day, a few hunters came into the forest and took the lion with them. They tied him up against a tree. The lion was struggling to get out and started to whimper. Soon, the mouse walked past and noticed the lion in trouble. Quickly, he ran and gnawed on the ropes to set the lion free. Both of them sped off into the jungle.

2. Count Wisely

￼

One day, king Akbar asked a question in his court that left everyone in the courtroom puzzled. As they all tried to figure out the answer, Birbal walked in and asked what the matter was. They repeated the question to him.

The question was, "How many crows are there in the city?"

Birbal immediately smiled and went up to Akbar. He announced the answer; he said there were twenty-one thousand, five hundred and twenty-three crows in the city. When asked how he knew the answer, Birbal replied, "Ask your men to count the number of crows. If there are more, then the relatives of the crows must be visiting them from nearby cities. If there are fewer, then the crows from our city must be visiting their relatives who live outside the city." Pleased with the answer, Akbar presented Birbal with a ruby and pearl chain.

Moral of the Story

Having an explanation for your answer is just as important as having an answer.

3. The Boy Who Cried Wolf

￼

In a village, lived a carefree boy with his father. The boy's father told him that he was old enough to watch over the sheep while they graze in the fields. Every day, he had to take the sheep to the grassy fields and watch them as they graze. However, the boy was unhappy and didn't want to take the sheep to the fields. He wanted to run and play, not watch the boring sheep graze in the field. So, he decided to have some fun. He cried, "Wolf! Wolf!" until the entire village came running with stones to chase away the wolf before it could eat any of the sheep. When the villagers saw that there was no wolf, they left muttering under their breath about how the boy had wasted their time. The next day, the boy cried once more, "Wolf! Wolf!" and, again, the villagers rushed there to chase the wolf away.

The boy laughed at the fright he had caused. This time, the villagers left angrily. The third day, as the boy went up the small hill, he suddenly saw a wolf attacking his sheep. He cried as hard as he could, "Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!", but not a single villager came to help him. The villagers thought that he was trying to fool them again and did not come to rescue him or his sheep. The little boy lost many sheep that day, all because of his foolishness.

Moral of the Story

It is difficult to trust people who lie, so it's important to always be truthful.

4. The Fox and the Stork

￼

One day, a selfish fox invited a stork for dinner. Stork was very happy with the invitation – she reached the fox's home on time and knocked at the door with her long beak. The fox took her to the dinner table and served some soup in shallow bowls for both of them. As the bowl was too shallow for the stork, she couldn't have soup at all. But, the fox licked up his soup quickly.

The stork was angry and upset, but she didn't show her anger and behaved politely. To teach a lesson to the fox, she then invited him for dinner the next day. She too served soup, but this time the soup was served in two tall narrow vases. The stork devoured the soup from her vase, but the fox couldn't drink any of it because of his narrow neck. The fox realised his mistake and went home famished.

Moral of the Story

A selfish act backfires sooner or later!

￼

Once there lived a greedy man in a small town. He was very rich, and he loved gold and all things fancy. But he loved his daughter more than anything. One day, he chanced upon a fairy. The fairy's hair was caught in a few tree branches. He helped her out, but as his greediness took over, he realised that he had an opportunity to become richer by asking for a wish in return (by helping her out). The fairy granted him a wish. He said, "All that I touch should turn to gold." And his wish was granted by the grateful fairy.

The greedy man rushed home to tell his wife and daughter about his wish, all the while touching stones and pebbles and watching them convert into gold. Once he got home, his daughter rushed to greet him. As soon as he bent down to scoop her up in his arms, she turned into a gold statue. He was devastated and started crying and trying to bring his daughter back to life. He realised his folly and spent the rest of his days searching for the fairy to take away his wish.

As she took steps towards the market, her thoughts took steps towards wealth. On her way, she kept thinking about the money she would make from selling the milk. Then she thought about what she would do with that money.

She was talking to herself and said, "Once I get the money, I'll buy a chicken. The chicken will lay eggs and I will get more chickens. They'll all lay eggs, and I will sell them for more money. Then, I'll buy the house on the hill and everyone will envy me." She was very happy that soon she would be very rich. With these happy thoughts, she marched ahead. But suddenly, she tripped and fell. Both the pails of the milk fell and all her dreams were shattered. The milk spilt onto the ground, and all Patty could do was cry. "No more dream," she cried foolishly!

Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.

7. When Adversity Knocks

￼

This is a story that explains how adversity is met differently by different people. There was a girl named Asha who lived with her mother and father in a village. One day, her father assigned her a simple task. He took three vessels filled with boiling water. He placed an egg in one vessel, a potato in the second vessel, and some tea leaves in the third vessel. He asked Asha to keep an eye on the vessels for about ten to fifteen minutes while the three ingredients in three separate vessels boiled. After the said time, he asked Asha to peel the potato and egg, and strain the tea leaves. Asha was left puzzled – she understood her father was trying to explain her something, but she didn't know what it was.

Her father explained, "All three items were put in the same circumstances. See how they've responded differently." He said that the potato turned soft, the egg turned hard, and the tea leaves changed the colour and taste of the water. He further said, "We are all like one of these items. When adversity calls, we respond exactly the way they do. Now, are you a potato, an egg, or tea leaves?"

Moral of the Story

We can choose how to respond to a difficult situation.

8. The Proud Rose

￼

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful rose plant in a garden. One rose flower on the plant was proud of its beauty. However, it was disappointed that it was growing next to an ugly cactus. Every day, the rose would insult the cactus about its looks, but the cactus stayed quiet. All the other plants in the garden tried to stop the rose from bullying the cactus, but the rose was too swayed by its own beauty to listen to anyone.

One summer, a well in the garden dried up and there was no water for the plants. The rose slowly began to wilt. The rose saw a sparrow dip its beak into the cactus for some water. The rose then felt ashamed for having made fun of the cactus all this time. But because it was in need of water, it went to ask the cactus if it could have some water. The kind cactus agreed, and they both got through summer as friends.

Moral of the Story

Never judge someone by the way they look.

9. The Tale of the Pencil

￼

A boy named Raj was upset because he had done poorly in his English test. He was sitting in his room when his grandmother came and comforted him. His grandmother sat beside him and gave him a pencil. Raj looked at his grandma puzzled, and said he didn't deserve a pencil after his performance in the test.

His grandma explained, "You can learn many things from this pencil because it is just like you. It experiences a painful sharpening, just the way you have experienced the pain of not doing well on your test. However, it will help you be a better student. Just as all the good that comes from the pencil is from within itself, you will also find the strength to overcome this hurdle. And finally, just as this pencil will make its mark on any surface, you too shall leave your mark on anything you choose to." Raj was immediately consoled and promised himself that he would do better.

Moral of the Story

We all have the strength to be who we wish to be.

10. The Crystal Ball

￼

Nasir, a small boy, found a crystal ball behind the banyan tree of his garden. The tree told him that it would grant him a wish. He was very happy and he thought hard, but unfortunately, he could not come up with anything he wanted. So, he kept the crystal ball in his bag and waited until he could decide on his wish.

Days went by without him making a wish but his best friend saw him looking at the crystal ball. He stole it from Nasir and showed it to everyone in the village. They all asked for palaces and riches and lots of gold, but could not make more than one wish. In the end, everyone was angry because no one could have everything they wanted. They became very unhappy and decided to ask Nasir for help. Nasir wished that everything would go back to how it was once – before the villagers had tried to satisfy their greed. The palaces and gold vanished and the villagers once again became happy and content.

Moral of the Story

Money and wealth do not always bring happiness.

11. A Bundle of Sticks

￼

Once upon a time, three neighbours living in a village were having trouble with their crops. Each of the neighbours had one field, but the crops on their fields were infested with pests and were wilting. Every day, they would come up with different ideas to help their crops. The first one tried using a scarecrow in his field, the second used pesticides, and the third built a fence on his field, all to no avail.

One day, the village head came by and called the three farmers. He gave them each a stick and asked them to break it. The farmers could break them easily. He then gave them a bundle of three sticks, and again, asked them to break it. This time, the farmers struggled to break the sticks. The village head said, "Together, you are stronger and work better than you do it alone." The farmers understood what the village head was saying. They pooled in their resources and got rid of the pests from their fields.

Moral of the Story

There is strength in unity.

These Great Stories Are not written by me I just happened to remember them from childhood so I think why not post them.
 
English is not my mother language so sorry for mistakes

Short Inspirational stories are powerful reads;

The great thing about them is that they’re so easy to digest, and there’s always a moral at the end of the story.

Whether they’re true stories or not is another thing, as many of them are legends supposedly hundreds of years old.

However, the stories that I’m talking about are so powerful and inspirational that many of them really do get you thinking and even leave you speechless at times.

"Information about the Norse Mythological System?"
Upon seeing these words, Kennard instantly couldn't shift his eyes away. He was so excited that his hands began to tremble.
As a genetic grandmaster, what had he never seen before? But right now upon seeing the information of a complete mythological system appearing before his eyes, it was truly difficult for him to maintain his calmness.
At the side, Feng Lin laughed when he saw this. He didn't feel too surprised at Kennard's reaction.
A hundred gene sequences wasted too much genetic potential. Didn't this Kennard simply wish to obtain new mythological knowledge?
In that case, he might as well give Kennard the stories he knew about the Norse Mythological System and let him probe the mysteries behind them on his own. Feng Lin didn't want to waste his genetic potential for nothing.
"Godking of Norse: Odin. He was the king of gods, the ruler of the world. He wore a large helmet and had two divine crows perched on his shoulders. They symbolized "thought" and "memory" respectively. Every morning, they would fly and report what they see and hear to Odin. Odin rode on two wolf mounts. The names of the two wolves were, "greed" and "desire". They were responsible for guarding him. In order to increase his intelligence, to be able to foretell the future so as to better govern the world, Odin was determined to drink the water from the sacred well of wisdom which existed beside the root of the world tree. However, the guardian of the well, Mimir, wanted him to pay the price of one of his eyes. Odin didn't hesitate; he instantly dug one of his eyes out. After drinking a draught of water, he obtained divine-level wisdom. He invented the ancient Nordic text. The fairy of fate then used these newly created characters to record destiny on his shield, and the runic characters became the source of all magic…"
"Queen of gods: Frigg. She was the goddess of love and governed marriage and family, the wife of Odin. She had authority in both Valhalla and Hades. She was extremely beautiful and had a white feather clasped in her golden hair. She dressed in white robes with a golden belt, and there was a string of keys on the belt. She loved beautiful dresses and resplendent gems. She once stole Odin's gold to buy an extremely valuable necklace, and after Odin learned of it, he stormed out of Asgard in anger. Asgard was then invaded by the frost giants, which then covered the entire world with their icy breath. Until seven months later after Odin returned to Asgard did the crisis pass…"
"Thunder god: Thor. He was extremely muscular and his strength was astounding. He had a pair of leopard eyes and golden beard, wielding a divine hammer with metallic gloves. He also had a golden belt on. Thor would frequently clash against the frost giants and giant pythons in the eastern border, protecting the home of gods from them. Thor was upright and plainspoken, even daring to rebut Odin. Thor's temper was extremely explosive, yet he was open-minded and heroic. When Ragnarok—the end of gods—arrived, Thunder God Thor fought against Jörmungandr—the Midgard Serpent and died together with it ..."
…
Kennard only wanted to obtain more genetic sequences from Feng Lin, yet he didn't expect Feng Lin to smack his face with a whole trove of mythological knowledge. This was truly a troublesome blessing.
He ignored the fact that Feng Lin stood before him and started to read through the information.
The names of legendary characters in mythology appeared before his life.
These gods' names were previously scattered, recorded in fragmented mythological information. But now, they clearly appeared before him and formed a complete system.
Genetic Grandmasters were a group of people with the deepest mythological knowledge in the world. Given Kennard's judgment, he could tell that the information Feng Lin had given him was the real deal and indeed belonged to a complete system.
Every god in the Norse Mythological System was reasonably orderly. Right now, it was like the secrets of Norse Mythology were fully displayed before his eyes. He was unable to contain his joy.
With such information, if he could analyze them bit by bit through his experiments, how many more new mythological paths and Genetic Sequence Diagrams would he be able to deduce?
Godking, Odin Gene's sequence?
Thunder God, Thor Gene's sequence?
Demon Wolf, Fenrir Gene's sequence?
...
If he succeeded, each mythological sequence would contain boundless potential.
This was like a huge treasure trove before his eyes, waiting for him to excavate it, seemingly inexhaustible.
Staring at the dazed look on Kennard's face, Lin Feng's lips curled into a smile. Everything was within his expectations.
Because Kennard was a caucasian, he intentionally revealed knowledge of Norse Mythology to him. It seemed like this was truly the vital point of this man, and it should be more than enough to exchange for the information of this lab's latest research.
"What? That's all?" All of a sudden, Kennard roared in anger. It felt like the treasure that was about to be in his hands was suddenly seized away. Kennard's eyes protruded and were bloodshot. An inhumanly violent aura radiated from him as he stared fixedly at Feng Lin.
At this moment, Feng Lin felt as though he was being glared at by an incomparably terrifying monster. Goosebumps involuntarily rose on his skin.
(Something is wrong with this man.)
Kennard's eyes drooped and his expression turned incomparably sinister.
Right now, it was like he had lost control. He resembled a devil that had torn off his mask. Kennard no longer seemed like that erudite scholar. Instead, his aura was dark, sinister, and terrifying.
As a genetic grandmaster that experimented on his own kind, could Kennard be simply just a researcher?
Could he possibly have added some inhuman modifications to his own body?
...
Feng Lin faintly discovered that he had underestimated Kennard. His heart was filled with chills.
"Where's the rest of the knowledge? Why is there only a single page?" At this moment, Kennard's body size changed. His eyes were bloodshot and his veins throbbed on his face.
It was like the moment Feng Lin failed to give a reasonable explanation, he would lunge over.
Feng Lin's heart thumped, yet his expression remained calm. "How vast is the entire Norse Mythological System? What I know is only the tip of the iceberg. How can I possibly give you the complete information? No matter how valuable your research is, can it be compared to the knowledge of a complete mythological system? Even if the information I have is incomplete, I still need to see if your research is worthy enough to be exchanged for what I have!"
Who didn't know about how valuable mythological knowledge was?
Without paying something, how could Kennard expect to get something else in return?
Why would there be something so cheap in the world?
...
Feng Lin's tone was calm as he smiled quietly.
No matter how valuable the research information of this lab was, it was impossible for Feng Lin to hand over the complete knowledge of the entire Norse Mythological System.
Right now, the inheritance of mythology was completely fragmented!
If he randomly took out knowledge of a complete mythological system, it would be too conspicuous. He would definitely attract the covetous attention of those major powers.
Feng Lin naturally wouldn't want to place himself in danger.
As to how much information he gave out, that would depend on whether the research information provided by Kennard could move his heart.
The redness in Kennard's eyes faded away. He cast a deep glance at Feng Lin and remained silent for a long time. The atmosphere also felt unprecedentedly treacherous.
Feng Lin's external expression remained calm, but he was extremely vigilant in his heart. He was prepared to act at any moment.
For a genetic grandmaster like Kennard that could deduce so many genetic sequences, if he cultivated, he would definitely not be a weakling.
Because, compared to ordinary cultivators, a genetic grandmaster had many more options to choose from. They would naturally select the best option for themselves.
Feng Lin would never underestimate his opponent, let alone someone like Kennard who was an extremely rare genetic grandmaster.
Ultimately, the silence of the situation was still broken.
"Follow me." Kennard coldly snorted and began to walk toward the depths of the lab.
Feng Lin didn't hesitate and followed closely behind.
Although the atmosphere was weird and there might be danger waiting for him, he also wanted to know about the latest research information discovered by Kennard.
The fact that he was walking on Sun Wukong Mythological Path also gave him enough confidence that no matter how troublesome the situation was, he would still be able to deal with it.
Given how vast the universe was, he didn't dare say that no one was a match for him. But if he wished to leave, Feng Lin believed that only a very few people in the universe would be able to stop him.
Even the spirit blackholes weren't able to do so, let alone a human like Kennard.
The deeper he entered, the dimmer the laboratory became.
Numerous large-scaled life maintenance cabins appeared before Feng Lin's eyes. The transparent alloy reflected the scenes inside.
Right now, the creatures immersed in the red liquid were no longer human. They were animals of all shapes and sizes. There was a three-tails fox with scales, a gorilla with four arms, a giant python with a singular spiral horn…
From these creatures, one could see traces of the original animals they were based on. Yet all of them were mutated.
What was crucial was that Feng Lin could clearly sense the force of mythological genes within them.
"These are…" Feng Lin had a guess in his heart, but he still put on a look of puzzlement on his face as he asked.
Kennard laughed lowly, his laughter sounded hoarse but was filled with satisfaction. "Mythological genes originated from myths and legends. You must know that in the ancient myths, there were not only legendary characters, but also legendary monsters as well! How can it be that only humans could awaken the powers of mythological genes? From my research, I discovered that animals also have mythological genes, but because they lacked the intelligence and wisdom of humans, they had no way to awaken their genes naturally. However, if we use external force to stimulate them, we would be able to cause the mythological genes in animals to awaken and retrace the genetic path, allowing animals to gain the powers of mythological and legendary monsters! I named this as mythological ancestor recall engineering…"
When he spoke until here, Kennard began to laugh complacently.
Feng Lin's expression didn't change. He glanced at the creatures in the red fluid. He could see three-tail fox, devil ape, a jiao snake...There were indeed traces of mythological creatures in these animals.
Genetic potential +890, +920, +1090…
Feng Lin glanced over at everything. From these monsters, he saw the truth of many ancient myths and legends, leading to his genetic potential rising.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
All of a sudden, the sound of a strong and powerful heartbeat rang out...
Feng Lin saw a ball of meat as large as a fist floating in a sealed vacuum space in a cultivating device. It throbbed and pounded like a heart, yet it emitted mythological genetic powers. However, the properties of the genetic powers were muddled with no singular attributes. In fact, it seemed that it was able to evolve to produce any desired attribute.
"What creature is this?" Feng Lin mumbled silently in his heart.
All of a sudden, a voice filled with fanaticism rang out from the side.
"This is my origin laboratory's highest achievement, the greatest masterpiece!"
"Creation cells!!!"


Every myth and legend is a path to Godhood!
When humans enter the interstellar era, ancient cultivation techniques shone with new life. Your genes exist with you! A single sentence showing the true meaning of cultivation. Myths and legends are not a fantasy, there are ancient mythological genes in the bodies of everyone.
The Hou Yi Gene allows you to shoot a hundred miles, using a single arrow to break down the dome of heaven.
The Kuafu Gene allows you to run with flying speed, chasing after the sun and moon.
The Divine Dragon Gene allows you to soar among the clouds, roaming around the starry space.
….
Almost ten thousand years have passed. Feng Lin came from the 21st century to this majestic era that surged forth with great momentum. Based on his understanding on the myths and legends of the ancient earth era, he embarked upon a unique genetic cultivation path.
Monkey Gene + Stonebirth Gene = Stone Monkey Gene
Stone Monkey Gene + ??? = Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene
Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene + ??? = Handsome Monkey King Gene
Handsome Monkey King Gene + ??? = Sun Wukong Gene
Sun Wukong Gene + ??? = Great Sage Equal to Heavens Gene

Hello to everyone who is reading this. 
I love stories,  and this is one of the stories which I have grown up listening to.
(I do not own this story as it is one of the major Hindu epics) 
Each region in India has its own version of it, I have listened and read almost all of them. 
The story which I am writing hear is my own understanding and compilation of all the different versions of the same story. 
The story which you are about to read is as the title says "MAHABHARAT: Through my eyes" so I am sorry to the people who are offended and I deeply apologize to them. I will try to keep this story as neutral as possible and not put my biases in the story. 
I am simply a narrator. 
❄❄❄
I am writing this story for the people who are unaware about this of have some misconceptions of the mythological epic. 
Whenever there is a requirement of extra knowledge of gods or some uncommon objects of places I might go on a tangent. 
I will  be using some sanskrit and hindi words so please bear with it. 
❄❄❄
So without further ado let's start with the story

This is my version of events of  an Indian epic Mahabharat. 
This story down to its core is about brothers fighting and killing each other over property, but there are immortals, magic weapons, grate warriors, sages, curses, gods, demons davas and much more. 
To find out please read it. 
This is my first time writing and I have not found my style of writing yet so I might experiment a bit so sorry for the inconvenience. 

*Lastly I would like to say, from this story you will find that words have grate power it is like an arrow or a bullet once fired it can not be taken back "

Since the encounter with the terrifying, red-haired Vivian, Hao Ren knew that the information Hessiana brought was critical. He gathered everyone in the family. Y'zaks joined them as he returned from the outside. Since the coffee table was broken, Hao Ren moved the dining table to the center of the living room. Hessiana placed the dried body of the "Infernal Fleshripper" on the table and began to explain.
"It was Mythological Period," Hessiana said, facing Hao Ren, her serious face looked the same as when Vivian was lecturing them. "You should know already that Earth was quite different back then. Magic was widespread, supernatural power was the norm, humans were not well-versed in magic, and the cities they built were fragile, they needed protection. The otherworldlings at that time had not only built superstructure unimaginable to humans today but the magical environment at that time also made the planet very different from today. The alien dimensions were connected to the earth, some of them were artificial and some naturally occurring since the beginning."
Hao Ren nodded slightly. He had heard of this before from Vivian, but no harm to brush up the knowledge, he thought.
"At that time, the otherworldlings had built many things. Families who self-proclaimed as gods had built huge 'divine kingdoms,' such as Mount Olympus and Asgard. But now the ruins of these magnificent places are nowhere to be found on earth because these 'divine kingdoms' are in different dimensions," Vivian said, continued what Hessiana started. "These celestial kingdoms are artificial dimensions. There are some original dimensions, which exist and are linked to Earth. They include Inferno and some other demonic planes. Otherworldlings such as the shadelings originally lived in these dimensions. Their hometown, Shadowy World, is a frozen place with no starlight. I have been there once, and it is astounding."
It was news to Hao Ren. He immediately linked it with the coming of otherworldlings to Earth.
They were initially inhabitants of the Plane of Dreams. They came to this universe through the crack on the Wall of Reality.
Were the alien dimensions of ancient times also from the Plane of Dreams? Or, in other words, had the rupture on the Wall of Reality brought not only a large number of other races to this space but also flung the dimensional debris of the Plane of Dreams here?
Hao Ren exchanged a look with the others as if they already had the same conclusion in this mind. But they did not harp on this point. Taking into account the condition of the Wall of Reality and the theoretical model of Grand Unified Theory, the leaking of dimensional debris into this universe through the crack on the Wall of Reality was normal. Instead, what mattered most was the scale of the leakage. By now, it seemed that the leakage was more severe than imagined.
"After the collapse of the Mythological Era, the alien dimensions disappeared," Hessiana continued. "The artificial divine kingdoms lost their support after the death of the master. Most of them collapsed, and the rest closed. The one dimension that we have found in the Temple of Olympus is a closed dimension while the original dimensions are in exile. The demon hunters could not have destroyed the space-time structure, so to sever the foundation of the otherworldling races the demon hunters locked them in and destroyed the link between them and the main plane."
"Now those alien dimensions should be still floating in the cracks of space-time. There is no way to rebuilding links from the inside, so they wander in an endless space-time until the universe comes to an end," Vivian said. Suddenly, she felt a chill ran down her spine. "I was lucky that I didn't go and hibernate in any of those dimensions. I would have been trapped inside and drifting endlessly now."
Hao Ren looked at the Infernal Fleshripper on the table, wondering what kind of environment could give birth to this quirky creature. "What kind of place is Inferno?"
"The craziest among all the dimensions. There is no intelligent life in it, only beasts," Hessiana said as she compressed her lips and looked up at Vivian. "You should ask Vivian. Everything about the ancient times I heard it from others but Vivian was the one seeing it."
Vivian sighed, recalling the memory. "I have not been to Inferno though. Even during the Mythological Era, few had been there. The link between Inferno and the main plane was unstable. Unlike other dimensions where there were fixed passages or method of access, the door to Inferno opened randomly on Earth. The first level of Inferno was easier to understand. Some daring wizards would explore the dimension, where there were poisonous air and hot springs of extreme temperature, so hot that the whole world was boiling. The Infernal Fleshripper lived on the first level while the monsters on the second. They were beasts of flesh and blood. With no intelligence, they would maul and kill each other. Killing instinct dictated their actions. They would rip apart all the mortals that intruded into their space. Back then, Hades had tried to form an Undead Legion explore Inferno. But the twisted monsters in Inferno ripped those skeletons and zombies apart. It is an insane place."
"An awful dimension filled with primitive beasts," Hao Ren said, scratching his jaw. "Why did the wizards want to study the place?"
"The creatures in Inferno were born with immense strength, and their flesh and blood contained special primitive energy," Vivian said. "Although those bloodthirsty monsters are dangerous, the wizards regarded them highly. Some ointments made from Infernal creatures were said to be useful in casting taboo spells, such as elevating human beings into immortal witches or opening the portal to deeper, distorted dimensions. During the Mythological Era, wizards were minions of the otherworldlings. At that time, they were forced to explore Inferno by their masters, but after the end of Mythological Era, some wizards did that on their initiative."
Lily immediately yelled. "Oh, wait a second. Inferno not in exile? I thought the demon hunters had cast it away together with other alien dimensions after the Mythological Era ended?"
"The demon hunters had cast away other natural dimensions, except Inferno." Vivian shook her head. "As I said before, Inferno is an unstable dimension. Its connection with the main plane is completely random. There are no native intelligent races; no one could control the connection—even the demon hunter could not get hold of the dimension. So after the end of Mythological Era, Inferno still linked to Earth from time to time when some surviving otherworldlings or wizards were crossing over. But after that, the demon hunters interfered. They used a kind of dimensional disturbance power to push Inferno away. Though it hadn't obliterated the connection with Earth, it had greatly reduced the frequency of connection. Since then, Inferno had not appeared for almost two thousand years. The last time it appeared was during the Augustus period; a door opened in the north of Rome where monsters swallowed up a few villages. That was the last time the appearance of the 'gate.' Unfortunately, the Inferno gate incident at that time wasn't big enough to leave any historical clues behind."
Hao Ren listened to the stories, wide-eyed. What happened after the end of Mythological Period surprised him. His eyes landed on the specimen of the Inferno Fleshripper. "That thing..."
"That thing was made into specimen hundreds of years ago," Hessiana said as she nodded. "It means that a wizard had opened the Inferno gate hundreds of years ago, and brought something out of it alive."
"Hundreds of years ago? It was already the time when humans and the demon hunters ruling the earth." Hao Ren felt it incredible. "Hadn't the demon hunters discovered the opening?"
"I don't know, but the wizard had evaded the demon hunters. We found some clues pointing to the activity of the wizard in Europe until the American Revolution broke out."
"So, in summary, there was a wizard who had opened the gate to Inferno hundreds of years ago and brought something out from it. Then the wizard had left behind a magic book that could summon the evil-spirit Vivian…" Hao Ren knocked on the table with his knuckles. "What is the connection between the two things?"
"There is evidence shows that the summoning ritual recorded in the book is just one of the wizard's many taboo spells. We found some random manuscripts left behind by the wizard," Hessiana said as she slid a glance at Vivian. "His summoning of the 'King of Blood' was not the ultimate goal, but he wanted to make use of the power of the King of Blood to bring him deeper into Inferno. He must have left behind many more manuscripts. And, there may be more than one taboo spell associated with Vivian. The secrets should be hidden somewhere where he opened the gate to Inferno."
"Where?"
"Northern Europe."


As a person who is down-to-earth as well as a good Samaritan, Hao Ren desires to live the rest of his life as a benevolent landlord. Stumbling into a curious yet mysterious lady, he began his journey of “collecting” abnormal and supernatural tenants. 
His life only became more chaotic when he receives a labor contract from “God”. Discover the many races, myths and worlds that lie beyond what humans define as normal! This bizzare fantasy full of fun is sure to bring you on a crazy rollercoaster of emotions!

- Volume 4 - There is a mistake in the volume section - This chapter is in the - Volume 4 We Were Once Gods
As Artic continued to advance towards the tower, he continued to think about it. He didn't have to think much. If the person who sent him this message was really "Set," it was a very different thing about how important the situation was.
But he had a lot of questions to ask about this situation.
"Why would the Set God text me?"
"Why would a mythological god in the world be a mystic?"

"Why is a god in mythological stories an entity"
Artic was curious about these questions. He wanted to guess a little, but he couldn't think of anything in general. That's when I got a text again, and it came down to Artic by the system.
"Naber lan slob" - Apollo"
Artic swallowed lightly. It was getting weird. If the person who sent the first message wasn't the "Set" that Artic was thinking about, and it was a coincidence, If he didnt remember it wrong this message now sent by the Roman God Apollo.
Could it have been a coincidence? As Artic was thinking about it, he hesitated and stopped going to the tower. After creating a platform on a tree, he immediately created a seat and started thinking after he sat down.
He couldn't understand either of those two messages. He didn't know why. But all he knows, these two messages he's received, could have been the most important thing in his life so far. That's why he had to be careful.
That's when he got a different message again. This time it came from a different guy.
"Ruhuna sokam.!" - Zhong Qui" *
Artic took a really deep breath this time. This time, one of the Chinese mythology god texted him. Each message was spelled differently. But Artic couldn't read any of the words they used, so he couldn't make sense of it.
So he began to think and wait deeply. It wasn't a few minutes later. I got another message.
"Sana bir korum bir de duvar kor" - Zeus"
Artic couldn't read the messages again. But this time, the sender completely surprised him. The others were the gods, but this time perhaps the most well-known and cared for of the mythological god who sent it him the message this time.
This person was naturally called "Zeus". It seemed strange and different to him. Because no one knew who Zeus was.
Even someone who had no interest in mythological history knew Zeus' story more or less.
"Zeus was the first of the GODS and a very imposing figure. Often referred to as the "Father of Gods and men", he is a sky god who controls lightning (often using it as a weapon) and thunder. Zeus is king of Mount Olympus, the home of Greek gods, where he rules the world and imposes his will onto gods and mortals alike.
Zeus was the last child of the titans Cronus and RHEA and avoided being swallowed by his father (who had been told one of his children overthrow him) when Rhea s help ought from URANUS and Ge. Cronus had previously swallowed DEMETER, HESTIA, HERA, HADES, and POSEIDON.
Along with Hades and Poseidon, Zeus shared the rule of the world and became king of Olympus as the children of Cronus were filled with admiration for their noble brother and sided with him against their unjust father – even following Zeus into The Battle of the Titans.
Zeus mated with many goddesses and mortals (including Aegina, Alcmena, Calliope, Cassiopea, Demeter, Dione, Europa, Io, Leda, Leto, Mnemosyne, Niobe, PERSEPHONE and Semele) but married to his sister Hera – of marriage and monogamy.
-
Artic had overhauled his thoughts on Zeus. In general, that was the most important message he got. Compared to other messages.
But Artic knew it didn't matter if you thought too much about it right now. Therefore, he got up from the window he created and continued to fly. He had a vengeance to take. Or rather, he wanted to kill the beings who annoyed him.
Although outsiders thought Artic was evil, Artic was his own. He wasn't coming in and making any moves on you unless you messed with him. But when the attack, the disrespect, and most importantly the "betrayal" entered the situation, Artic would become an entity at a level that would make even the devil embarrassing for his work.
-
-
Artic soon arrived at the tower. He killed all the Black Hand Members around the tower with a waving hand and entered directly to the top of the tower. With a gentle shake of his hand, the black hard stones of the tower turned to glass and then melted and paved the way for artic to enter.
There was only one person inside.
This was a woman with black hair and eagle eyes. The more he looked at Artic, the more he swallowed. Artic, after looking at her, knew she was the leader of this tower. Because she was mystical at 5th Star Level, and with a little improvement, she was going to go up to Level 6.
Artic didn't take it long and started talking.
"Look, I don't have a lot of time. Just give me the address of the institution where you're superior, and I'll go. If you want to die, do it."
The black-haired woman laughed slightly and began to speak.
"I think you got it wrong, you should have said, "If you don't want to die, you should do this." Am I wrong?"
The black-haired woman began to look artic in the face after his remarks. Artic's face was dull and he just shook his head and started talking.
"No, I didn't make a mistake. If you want to die, you have to say it. If you don't tell, you'll be tortured and you won't die even if you want to die."
If the black-haired woman had heard those words from anyone else, she would have strangely looked at her. But the man in front of him was saying those words so relaxed and clean, that he was going to do what he said, and it was certain where he was going to do what he said. It was so definite that the black-haired woman had no idea.
He took a deep breath and gave Artic the name and address of the Regional Leader, who checked the Towers, and the name and address of the institution.
Artic smiled slightly and after shaking his hand, he destroyed the black-haired woman along with the tower.

"Artic"
"When the chessboard closes, the king and the pawn are will be placed in the same bag."
-
Artic was a young student. He often struggled with his thoughts in his mind and tried to survive in the modern world. He was smart and liked to read, but he also liked to think about different things in his mind.
-
Artic was killed trying to help a woman who was attacked. When he opened his eyes, he was in a different land with a voice in his head. Where he was reborn in the same body, people could have divine powers or possess special powers by developing their knowledge and philosophical perspectives on issues.
-
We see what Artic choose for his special powers and what kind of person he will be in a new fantastical world.

On the way home, Qianli came up with multiple ideas for the exam. But she only had limited time, so many of these ideas crumbled inside of her mind.

" .... I really don't know what to do now, this mortal plane has never seen or heard of most of the ingredients of the alchemy pills that I know of, and even the Qilin beast are just mythological beasts that are unheard of since millennia's ago... "

" I guess I have no choice than to pass the exam as a disciple, and try my luck later when I get inside the sect ..."

 

Making up her mind, just as she was heading to her house, she heard a commotion near and filled with curiosity, she rushed toward the noise.

 

" Master Chen, we should head back to the mansion before people come here! "

" Damn! who would've thought that with just a few hits and this as*h*le die like this! This trash can't even stand a beating! "

" Master... we should go now, or else the city lord ... "

" Father won't forgive me if he finds out .... let's go! "

Qianli who just got there was hiding near a bush, watching the whole thing. Apparently, the one referred to as young master Chen was the kid who looked like fifteen years old, and the one near him was his attendant, a scarred old man. She decided to not meddle with their business and waited for them to go.

After she carefully observed the surroundings, she went near the corpse of the young kid lying in the grass who's age was similar to that young master Chen.

She tried to touch his pulse, and after inspecting it she was inwardly shocked.

" This kid should be dead, but his life force (meridians) are still circulating! what on earth... "

Fearing that someone else comes there, she tried to lift him and take him to her house before further examination.

Sadly, unbeknown to her, a person was watching the whole scene.

After putting him on the bed, she took black needles out of her station ring. And then she ripped off his shirt.

" I have to be quick, who knows how much time he will still be alive... "

She closed her eyes and started to recollect her memories from the books she read before.

 

nirvana rebirth of the meridians...No, it doesn't seem to be like this... Fire tempering... No, it isn't... Phoenix soul revival!

Wait... does that mean that this kid actually has the Phoenix soul inside his body?! How did he ...

 

She was interrupted by the blood spurting from the kid's mouth, his face who was already pale became white as sheets.

 

" Shit! I don't have time to study his body, I have to try the opening of his meridians or else he will die at any second now! "

 

She took a chair and sat near him. Then she focused all her attention, and after no more than half a second, she swiftly inserted 10 needles in his body.

Not able to cultivate, she was well versed in the art of healing, acupuncture, alchemy, etc...

To the point that she mastered all of this arts, even her master was shocked to see that. Her skills were on par with the greatest masters in the world!

However, some tasks still demanded great stamina and concentration. After she inserted all the needles in his body, her forehead was sweating a lot.

The young fellow's pale face finally returned to normal.

" ... he should be resting now "

" Sister! Sister! "

A young girl was running in the corridor of the lord's mansion. If anyone saw this beautiful girl, they would recognize her immediately: Fairy maiden.

 

" ... what is it again... "

The annoyed girl was her sister, she was currently resting in her quarters and didn't seem to like being disturbed.

" Sister! I went outside the city and I saw something incredible! "

" You! didn't you hear father's words before! don't go alone there are lots of people with bad intentions that just was to seize any opportunity to harm you, and you still just go there to play?! "

" Sister... don't be mad... I was just ..."

" You were just what?! "

" I .. saw Xiao Feng getting beat up by Li Chen... to the point of lying in the grass without moving ... and then there was some woman who just got there and took the boy's body ... "

" You saw what????!"

....

After resting for about 2 days, The boy finally opened his eyes.

Qianli who was just finished of preparing a meal took a portion and then tried to feed him.

" eat, your body is still weak, don't try to move... "

" ... I ... "

" Hush, open your mouth and eat for now. You haven't eaten anything for the past two days... "

Looking straight into her eyes, the boy seemed like to understand her intentions, and opened slowly his mouth.

After eating, he closed his eyes and started to sleep again.

It was only after twelve more hours that he finally woke up.

Qianli was sitting in the chair near him, patiently waiting for him to wake up the whole time.

" ... I ... thank you ... "

" ... No need to mention it, just rest. After that when you are ready to go, don't forget to take your ripped shirt on the floor "

" No ! I want to thank you for saving my life, if not I would've been ... "

"As I said, don't mention it, I already gained something so you could consider that as a repayment. "

tilting his head in confusion, he didn't understand her last sentence.

But with his personality, he would never accept being in debt to someone without trying to repay him.

For now, he chose to remain silent, and while resting he would come up with an idea...

 

Qianli, prior to his waking, was inspecting again his body, and she found lots of interesting things.

Apparently, this boy had the Phoenix soul! a legendary beast one of kind who resided in the high heavens.

She only heard stories about it from her master, this divine beast was one of the four divine beasts guardians of the world, after 10 thousand years till now, no one heard of it again.

It wasn't until she read about it in a book that her master gave her. She remembered the book quite well because it was worn out, and it gave the feeling of something profound was written in there.

The Phoenix soul cultivation was also mentioned there. It was one of the 36 unique constitutions in the world and ranked in the top 5.

When treating the boy, she was still in awe before his outstanding physique. How lucky for a mortal to have this kind of chance to have a Phoenix soul.

But this boy was luckier than others,

He experienced a near-death situation and because of that, the Phoenix soul tried to open forcibly his meridians.

Before, he was considered trash. The Phoenix soul hasn't awakened yet.

But now that she treated him, his meridians were burning, 10 of the 64 acupuncture points were opened, his Phoenix soul awakened, his cultivation will skyrocket from now on as long as he had the right cultivation technique!

Qianli thought about this for a long time while he was asleep. But she wouldn't force him to learn from her, as a matter of fact, he still considers her as a benefactor and wouldn't want to ask favors from her either. She was at loss to what to do now...

 

She stood up and then went to the door

 

" I'm going to the market to buy food, when you finish resting, you can leave. Don't mind the door nothing is valuable in this house anyway... "

After saying this she left.

What happens when your master abandons you, you who has no family left behind...

What path is left for you, you who has been chased by every firmament...

What choice will you follow, you who has already gained immortality...

Find out the everyday life of a young immortal who starts cultivating and teaching in a small sect.

…
Different from the heroes in most of the mythological stories, Kratos wasn't an orthodox hero; his behavior showed the mercilessness and indifference towards these Olympian gods.
Once a leader of an army of Spartans, who were famous for their strength and bravery, Kratos was courageous and vicious.
Defeated in a battle, he begged for help from Ares, the God of War. He received Ares' help and defeated his enemies at the price of servitude under Ares by signing a covenant. Killing countless humans and gods, he became Ares's puppet and killing machine, a powerful warrior who was serving the gods.
After that, he killed countless gods and humans. To make him into a perfect warrior, Ares set up a trap and made him kill his own wife and daughter.
With the ashes of his wife and daughter covering his body, causing Kratos's skin to become pale grey, he was cursed with constant nightmares, reliving the scenes of that day. This curse made him into an even more cold-blooded warrior who lived only for battles and revenge.
…
The Hydra ran havoc in the cities close to the shore as the monsters from the Underworld butchered humans at will.
Gods said… they would send a warrior to rescue them?
No, the gods were only annoyed by the disturbances of the troublesome fierce beasts in their back garden, so they sent a qualified warrior to clear them. As for rescuing the mortals? It wasn't their concern.
Kratos, trained by Ares, the God of War, wouldn't show any mercy to them.
It was why all kinds of human soldiers died in the hand of the monsters when Kratos killed the Hydra.
God of War depicted a world under the gods' rule. It looked orderly on the surface but was in fact chaotic and gloomy.
…
Therefore, it was natural that someone would try to drag these gods off their shrine.
The deaths of his wife and daughter woke up Kratos, and he decided to seek revenge by slaying the gods. Meanwhile, he hoped that this would compensate for the crimes that he had committed and get rid of the endless curse and nightmares which haunted him for countless days and nights.
He asked Athena and the other gods for help, which led to the scene before them.
After killing the Hydra, the storm on the ocean turned even more violent. Rain poured down like a waterfall!
"I have faithfully served the gods for ten years. When will you relieve me of these nightmares?"
"We request one final task of you, Kratos." On the gloomy ocean, the statue of Athena looked solemn and grand. "As we speak, Athens is on the verge of destruction. It is the will of Ares, my great city falls, but Zeus has forbidden the gods from waging war on each other."
"Complete this final task, and the past that consumes you will be forgiven. Have faith Kratos, the gods do not forget those who come to their aid."
This was Kratos's new task: slaying a god.
He must kill Ares, the God of War who schemed to overthrow Zeus's ruling and was attacking Athens.
The storm lessened, and dark clouds gradually dispersed in the sky above the vast ocean, revealing a full moon that looked like a silver plate.
With the goddess's words still echoing in his ears, Kratos continued forward on his huge battleship. In the past ten years, he had engaged in countless wars while riding this battleship. Perhaps this was the last journey.
His biggest test and the chance to return from the edge of craziness was in the grand City of Athens in front of him.
At this moment, people seemed to see hope in his eyes.
At this moment, all the players remembered the scene at the beginning and thought that perhaps he would obtain the victory in this great battle of slaying a major god, but…
The more they thought of it, the more tragic the story would be in the eyes of the people who were watching or playing the game.
Under the gazes of the gods, the ending that was waiting for this hero wouldn't be the one that he wanted!
Like the God of War, the legendary life of this man who was struggling on the verge of insanity began.
…
"This game… seems intriguing…" While eating potato chips, Elf Queen Kellybel watched from behind and seemed to be hooked by the story.
"Is it interesting?" nearby, some elves asked.
"Yeah. Warriors can fight the monsters in melee combats, and mages can use magic spells," Kellybel commented, "I wonder what happens to the man. Will he die?"
Remembering the last scene, she continued watching without thinking
"Really…" Sala said, "Then, let's activate God of War later. After I level up once, I'll play it for a while."
"…" Kellybel's face darkened as she had the urge to beat these elves. Can't you let me, your queen, play for a while?
She wished that she could grab the seat from one of the elves.
Of course, as an elegant and noble elf queen, she wouldn't put her thought into action. After all, she didn't want to expose her true identity yet. Even if she did, she wouldn't do such a disgraceful thing.
Therefore, Kellybel could do nothing but to sit behind and watch the elves play with widened eyes. Then, she sometimes glanced at the person sitting across the aisle and playing God of War. She concentrated on being a bystander.
…
"Haya-!" With a loud yell, St. Leidon controlled Kratos to tear a monster into pieces with his bare hands. "Haha! This man is so powerful!"
Boom!
As thunderbolts crashed, the mages activated Poseidon's Rage and learned the method of using the godly power.
"Oh! If only I could combine one tiny bit of this technique into my magic spells! It would be a huge magic revolution!" Adolf, the white-robed mage, yelled, "It's hard to imagine. By that time, our magic spells would make a noticeable leap forward!"
At this moment, the City of Athens was full of countless horrifying demons. They were not as giant or as powerful as the Hydra, but there were many of them.
Having served the Olympian gods for countless years, Kratos had fought with many monsters and even gods whose strength far surpassed his own. That was how he obtained lots of battle experience and combat techniques. With abundant experience and skills, he looked like a war machine working with great accuracy!
"We can learn new magic spells?!" Kellybel watched as the players encountered a shadow cast by a new god.
"This god said that we can learn the spell, Medusa's Gaze, which can turn people to stone, after we kill Medusa?" the players said curiously, "What's so powerful about Medusa's Gaze?"
…
Meanwhile, in the Radiant Light Godly Nation, a holy golden light fell from the vast sky.
Princess Isabela was bathed in the holy godly light beam.
"This is… the descent of a heavenly god! It's the descent of a heavenly god-!"
Countless followers worshipped on their knees below the godly palace. "It's the descent of a heavenly god!"

Werewolves. Mythological animals and the subjects of many stories and nightmares throughout the world. 
These are people who morph into vicious, powerful wolves. They are blood thirsty and are unable to control their lust for hunting and killing. 

According to Greek mythology, werewolves were the result of a curse which made an appearance with the legend of Lyacon. According to the legend, Lyacon, the son of pelasgus, angered the God Zeus when he served him a meal made from the remains of a sacrificed boy. As punishment, the enraged Zeus turned Lyacon and his sons into wolves. 

In the Nordic folklore, The saga of volsungus tells the story of a father and son who discovered wolf pelts that had the power to turn people into wolves for ten days. The father-son duo donned the pelts, transformed into wolves and went on a killing rampage in their forest which ended when the father attacked his son causing a lethal wound. The son only survived because a kind raven gave the father a leaf with healing power. 

            =======================

After the death of his father, the laird of 
MacLeod clan, its about time for Rory MacLeod to give up his much wanted life of war and battle and return home to claim his position as the new laird and swear allegiance to his people. Just like any other ordinary firstborn of a laird..

Except, he is not ordinary. He has secrets, dark terrible secrets which could just about destroy his very existence.
But the fiery lass who has seemingly won many hearts ( and stomachs) in the village with her much delectable apple tarts proves to be a temptation too sweet to resist..



Living as a common village lass at Dunvegan, the last thing Isabella wants anyone to discover is her true identity -- daughter of eighth chief of clan MacDonald of Glengarry, especially not when that could very much result in her getting dragged to Glengarry to marry the old hag her father chose for her. 

That means straying as much away from the uncanny eyes of the new laird as possible. 

But a scandalous kiss is all it'll take to break her resolve...

  Accessing Lore Selecting  Origins of the Fire-Breathing Beast by Ian Harvey]

+ From ancient Greek myths to Game of Thrones, the legend of the dragon is one of the most enduring and romanticized throughout history. It has been traced back as far as 4000 BC and exists in all parts of the world. In and around Europe dragons are viewed mostly as monsters of evil intent. In ancient Rome, the army used dragons as symbols of strength. During the Renaissance, fear of sea monsters kept sailors from venturing too far from known waters, and the edges of their maps would read "Here be dragons."


+ The etymology of the word dragon, which it says entered the English lexicon in around 1220 and was used in English versions of the Bible from the early 14th century. Dragon derives from Old French, the language used by nobles and law courts following the Norman conquest of 1066. This, in turn, stems from the Latin draconem or Draco meaning "big serpent," which was derived from ancient Greek δράκων (drakon).


+ In Greek mythology, the Hesperian Dragon named Ladon was a hundred-headed serpent that guarded the golden apples in the garden of the Hesperides. Historically, European dragons were viewed as being evil, jealous, and greedy hoarders of treasure. In the stories, they were generally treated as violent monsters who must be slain by heroes and saints. European dragons could have four legs, two legs, or none, and often had wings.


+ In Asia, and especially China, the view of these creatures was very different. Dragons were thought to live under the ocean in the winter, arising in the spring with a clap of thunder to bring the rain needed for their crops, according to the American Museum of Natural History. They breathed clouds and moved the seasons. The dragon was the symbol of the Chinese Emperor, and the Imperial throne was called the Dragon Throne. Known as the Dragon, the emperor ruled in harmony and brought peace and prosperity to all.


+ Chinese dragons are depicted as being more serpent-like, with long, snaking bodies and usually had four legs. They are generally seen as wingless. How people view them and what they believe about them varies widely, but the idea is too widespread not to think there are some common roots.


+ Ancient Origins discusses a number of potential roots. The first one is crocodiles. Saltwater and Nile crocodiles are the two largest living reptiles on earth today. Currently, saltwater crocodiles live in the eastern Indian Ocean region, and Nile crocs in the rivers, marshes, and lakes of Sub-Saharan Africa. But 1,000 years they had a much larger habitat range and could have been encountered by people living in Greece, Spain, and Southern Italy.

 Back to Lore Selecting The Dragon in Ancient China by Mark Cartwright]

+ Dragons appear in the mythology of many ancient cultures but nowhere else in the world was the creature quite so revered as in China. There, in marked contrast to other world mythologies, the dragon was almost always seen in a positive light and particularly associated with life-giving rains and water sources. Considered the most auspicious year sign, worn on the robes of emperors, depicted in the most precious materials from gold jewelry to jade figurines, and with countless references in literature and the performing arts, the dragon was everywhere in ancient China and looms as large today in the Chinese psyche as ever.


+ One of the earliest creatures to appear in the tales and legends of ancient China, the dragon is most often depicted as a giant and lithe beast which dwells in either water sources or clouds.


+ The Chinese dragon is extraordinarily powerful, and when it flies, it is usually accompanied by lightning and thunder. When, by whom, and on what reality the dragon was first invented is not known, although some historians suggest a link with rainbows and a 'serpent of the sky' which is seen after rain showers or at waterfalls. Carved jade dragons have been excavated at sites of the Hongshan culture, which can be dated to 4500-3000 BCE, far before any written records of the creature appeared. The historian R. Dawson gives the following description of the Chinese dragon's physical attributes.


+ Alternative descriptions give similar attributes but sometimes with the body of a snake, the eyes of a rabbit, the belly of a frog, and the antlers of a deer. Other qualities of the dragon were that it could change its shape and size at will and disappear or reappear wherever it wished.


+ The Chinese scholar Wen Yiduo suggested that this fantastic collection of beastly parts was actually based on the political union of several different tribes, each with a different animal as their totem. The dragon was, therefore, a symbolic representation of the assimilation of these tribes into a single nation. An interesting hypothesis, it does not, however, explain the appearance of dragons long before any such political associations existed in early Chinese communities.


+ Despite the dragon's fearsome aspect it was not usually seen as the bad-intentioned monster that inhabits the myths of other cultures around the world where it is typically slain by a brave hero figure. Indeed, in China, the dragon was and is regarded as being a just and benevolent creature.


+ It is for this reason they became associated with rulership and especially the emperors of China who, in their capacity as the holders of the Mandate of Heaven and as God's representative on earth, must always rule in a just and impartial manner for the good of all their subjects.

  Accessing Myths Selecting Dragons And Dragon Kings In Ancient Mythology]


+ We encounter dragons in almost every ancient culture of the world. Dragons played an important role in the beliefs of our ancestors and these creatures were depicted in a variety of ways.


+ Dragons can be placed in two groups- East and West dragons, and they were regarded as either good or very fearsome and evil creatures. In ancient China, the dragon was a highly significant creature that became a symbol of the Emperor and his throne was sometimes called the Dragon Throne.  Ancient Chinese believed dragons were in control the weather and water. These creatures were said to be able to manipulate oceans, floods, tornadoes, and storms.


+ There are nine distinctive Chinese dragons and some of them are serpent-like creatures with large bodies and long heads. The dragon in China is believed to be a benign creature that is said to bring wisdom, power, and luck. They are famous for their goodness and to ward off evil, protect the innocent and bring safety to all. Tradition and celebration of New Year in China can be traced to a dragon named Nien (or "year").


+ Nien was a legendary wild beast that attacked people at the end of the old year. Villagers would use loud noises and bright lights to scare the creature away, a practice that slowly morphed into the Chinese New Year festivities. Today the dragon has its own year on the Chinese calendar. On the British Isles and in Scandinavia, dragons were often depicted as wingless creatures. In this part of the world, the dragon was depicted as a more malevolent creature that was very difficult to kill. The West dragon was wingless and lived in dark places or wells where he was guarding hoard treasures. Approaching the dragon was almost impossible because of its poisonous fire breath. Dragons in British and Scandinavian mythology often appear in stories when a prince tries to save a young maiden from being abducted by the fearsome animal. 


+ If he can slay the dragon, he can become the new King and win the girl as his bride.n ancient Chinese mythology we encounter five enormous dragon kings who were rainmakers and rulers of the waters. Four of them were stationed at the cardinal points and ruled the seas. Their chief had his abode in the middle. The five dragon kings were named Lung Wang. The dragon kings of China lived in crystal palaces under the sea. 


+It was believed these underwater dwellings were part of the mysterious Underworld that could only be reached through underground mountain caves and special secret entrances. When the Water Dragons rose to the surface the caused typhoons and when they flew through the air caused heavy raining and hurricanes. The Dragon Kings are among the deified forces of nature of the Taoist religion. A dragon's head was one of the most famous symbols of the Vikings. 


+The Viking dragon was in many ways a representation of the Midgard Serpent, a mythical sea creature who fought with the Norse god, Thor. The reason why Vikings built ships with huge dragonheads was that they wanted to appear as frightening as possible from a long distance. Vikings called their longships "Drakkar" or dragon ships and the dragon was a powerful and fearsome symbol of war.


+ Many have seen the Welsh flag features a red dragon and that the Prince of Wales uses rampant dragons on his banner. The old British word "draig," meant leader, and the word, "pen," meant head. The two words combined to form Pendragon or Pen Draig, a noble surname in early Britain as early as the fifth century. The dragon symbol continued to be used by the last native Welsh princes of Wales, Llewelyn ap Gruffydd, and Owain Glyndwr, during their struggles against English occupation in the 14th and 15th centuries.


+ The Pendragon name in Welsh literature includes Uther Pendragon, father of the legendary King Arthur.
