Sword Bearer was wandering the grassy, rolling hills of the Middle Plains. He looked up to see a beautiful, endless and pure blue sky. Sword Bearer glanced down to see a pair of prairie dogs frantically scurrying between his feet and behind him, into the distance. He would soon find why the two rodents were in such a hurry. . .

The ground rumbled, and the Sword Bearer's first thought was that somehow, an earthquake was striking the once-serene plains. He was proven wrong when the ground in front of him exploded in a hailstorm of dirt and rock and a tower of scaly skin soared through the earth, looming before Sword Bearer.

"What manner of beast art thou??" Sword Bearer yelled as loud as he could, hoping the monstrous creature would hear him.

Slowly, dab turned and gave a cold stare to Sword Bearer. His digging had been interrupted for this tiny creature?

After a little hesitation, dab slowly stated, "I am dab, son of earth, dragon-master of rock."

Sword Bearer was just barely able to contain himself, finally, a beast worth slaying!

"I choose you, dab, son of earth, in the name of the almighty Changer!!"

dab let out a deep bellow of a laugh, "Well, I suppose I have no choice but to accept your challenge!" He roared, half-honest, half-humoring Sword Bearer.

"Prepare to die, dragon-master of rock!" Sword Bearer exclaimed, unsheathing his sword. . .

Sword Bearer quickly lunged forward in a Quick Attack. Dab, unsuspecting, turned around at the last split-second to dodge the attack. Since dab was very massive, he didn't have time to completely turn around and Sword Bearer succeeded in cutting the tip of his tail.

"NOOOOOOOOO! My precious tail! shouted dab. You puny human, prepare to DIE!!!!"

"Speak for thyself, dragon." Answered Sword Bearer.

Dab tried a Kick Attack and missed Sword Bearer, but the dragon succeeded in doing a Slash attack, leaving a big scar on Sword Bearer's face. Dab buried himself back into the ground in another quake, and disappeared.

"WHERE ART THOU, DRAGON? SHOW THYSELF! ON BEHALF OF THE CHANGER, I SWEAR, NAY, I PROMISE I WILL NOT REST UNTIL I HOLD THY HEAD IN MINE OWN HANDS!"

As he was wiping the tears and blood from his face, Sword Bearer sheathed his sword and took the tip of dab's tail. From now on, his goal was to kill the one that took his dignity. He took a string and made a pendant with the tail, and tied it to his neck.
