Once, long ago, fantastical and magical creatures like wild unicorns, pixies, and their rivals the fairies. leprechaun, elves, and mermaids populated the Earth. Dragons, pterodactyl (tear-uh-DACK-til) egons, (a lion with eagle wings and claws,) sored through the skies. Earth was a peaceful place with bright sunny days and cool moonlit nights. It was perfect... until one fateful day.

One cool night, the sky's got covered in gray clouds, blocking the moonlight. A big, scaly, red dragon flew in from above, blowing smoke out of its nose. The dragons screeched and hollered, fleeing away from their nests. The mermaids swam deep into the ocean where their sweet siren songs couldn't be heard. The unicorns galloped away with the elves on their backs. The pixies and fairies hid in the hollowed-out trees they called home.

Earth got covered in smoke and fire. The dark haze covered the Earth, clouding the air and blocking the sunlight. The results of this were costly. Creatures started to die from pollution. The oceans started to dry up from the fires and the ashes contaminated the freshwater. Fairies and pixies were forced from their homes as they burned, becoming nothing but ash. The unicorns and elves traveled the lands as nomads. The red dragon feasted on its own kind, riding the world of any other dragons.

The dragon roared and flapped its wings. Earth and all its creatures were at his Mersey now. All of Earth's creatures trembled with fear as his mighty roar echoed through the mountains and trees. They all knew no one was safe from this merciless dragon. They all knew this dragon couldn't be beat.

As the years passed, Earth fell into runes as the dragon made Earth its own, destroying everything in its path. Trees, grass, dirt, all burnt and charted from the merciless fires. What was left of the oceans was filled with dark ash clouding the once, fresh, crystal blue water. The air was gray with smoke polluting the once fresh, clean air. Plants withered from the lack of oxygen, sunlight, and water. Earth's population quickly declined as the red dragon ate all the creators Earth had to offer. Creators and animals went extinct in a blink of an eye.

All hope seems lost, nothing could stop this dragon.... Well, that seemed to be the case, anyway. In the midst of it all, in the sanctuary deep underground, a miracle was being born. This miracle was something never seen before by the creatures. It was a magical thing for the creatures to have the first-ever human on planet Earth. He would save them from the horde dragon.... Hnereck would save them from the monstrous dragon.

Hnereck grew smart and strong despite living underground in sanitary, he was witty but polite. The creatures gave Hnereck a magic sword and shield to aid him in killing the dragon. Hnereck took the shield and sword and traveled to the surface of Earth to defeat the dragon. The red dragon was angry with Hnereck for challenging him, but Hnereck didn't back down because of this. It was a long and dangerous battle of the ages, both the dragon and Hnereck struggled to overpower the other. In the end, after all the hardship and struggling, Hnereck won. Hnereck slayed the dragon and saved the creatures from imprisonment all because he had the one thing the dragon didn't.

Heart.

The only thing left behind from the dragon was its foot, of which Earth was squashed underneath. Hnereck knew he had to do something to tell this story through the ages. Hnereck decided to put the dragon's foot in the stars so Future conquerors wouldn't dare to mess with Earth, or they'd face the wrath of Hnereck.

Hnereck, the hero of Earth.
