The dragon was actually slain during an attempted abduction by a Scottish dragon purveyor.

Let me tell you a story. This is about the Tao Goddess, Kwon Yin.

Now, it starts with a warrior, whose name I do not recall, but he was a mighty warrior, and when he died, the Tao Gods took him into the first level of the Tao Heavens. There are many levels of Tao Heavens, just as there are many levels of Tao hells.

Now, this warrior's job, since he was such a mighty warrior, was to kill all the Hell Creatures who were constantly rising up from the Tao hells into the Tao Heavens. Every day, he would ride out on his mighty horse, with his lance, his sword and that bobbly thing with spikes on and he would kill every Hell Creature.

One day, the most fierce, huge, ugly Hell Creature you could ever imagine rose up. The warrior rode out and a ferocious battle ensued. It went on and on and on and the warrior was becoming exhausted, but finally the Hell Creature sank to the ground and the warrior lifted his lance to strike the death blow. As he did so, he looked into the Hell Creature's eyes and in that moment, he attained enlightenment. As he met the Hell Creature's eyes, he realised that all creatures share the same emotions of love and fear.

Now, he could have been raised to the highest levels of the Tao Heavens, but instead he chose to be reincarnated as the Goddess Kwon Yin, whose job it is to protect all the creatures until they attain enlightenment.

Thanks Anna................Here's a story of how Saint George 'met his end' and became a martyr.

In the year AD 302, Diocletian (influenced by Galerius) issued an edict that every Christian soldier in the army should be arrested and every other soldier should offer a sacrifice to the Pagan gods. But George objected and with the courage of his faith approached the Emperor and ruler. Diocletian was upset, not wanting to lose his best Tribune and the son of his best official, Gerontius. George loudly renounced the Emperor's edict, and in front of his fellow soldiers and Tribunes he claimed himself to be a Christian and declared his worship of Jesus Christ. Diocletian attempted to convert George, even offering gifts of land, money and slaves if he made a sacrifice to the Pagan gods. The Emperor made many offers, but George never accepted.


Recognizing the futility of his efforts, Diocletian was left with no choice but to have him executed for his refusal. Before the execution George gave his wealth to the poor and prepared himself. After various torture sessions, including laceration on a wheel of swords in which he was resuscitated three times, George was executed by decapitation before Nicomedia's city wall, on April 23, 303. A witness of his suffering convinced Empress Alexandra and Athanasius, a pagan priest, to become Christians as well, and so they joined George in martyrdom. His body was returned to Lydda for burial, where Christians soon came to honour him as a martyr.

Thanks Lioned. I guess I never knew the proper story and I just knew that story about George killing a dragon.

To be honest i think the 'slaying the dragon' bit might have been made up as i believe they were extinct by this time (well i know there's still some dragons on an island somewhere) but i mean proper fire eating dragons like they had in Ivor the engine ?

Queenie's having a party .......................

This England

This royal throne of kings, this scepter'd isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England,
This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings,
Fear'd by their breed and famous by their eart
