slI never really understood why the guys had to be the one to go off and slay the dragon to prove his love for the fair maiden. I always wondered if the girl has to go off and slay a dragon. Or maybe that was too radical and pointlessly dangerous so women decided they couldn’t be bothered killing a dragon, and that dragons could be very useful. They breathe fire after all.
But if you think about it, if some guy managed to slay a dragon, the dragon’s teeth wouldn’t be the only trophy he gets. Oh no, he also gets the trophy fair maiden who, after a few years, loses her post as a the fairest maiden in all the land and is now stuck with a life of servitude to some old pompous jerk trying to relive the glory days when he could actually see his toes (right now, his pot belly a bit too big).
Happily ever after.
Note: I do not mean any ill intent to Saint George because he is a saint and can’t have been that bad.
BLAME THE EXTINCTION OF DRAGONS ON DRAGON-SLAYERS TRYING TO WIN THE TROPHY MAIDEN.
R.I.P. the loss of dragon-slayers. And the dragons.
