Knights & Their Dragons

In these stories, Sir Stephen and Sir Henry were young knights and long lost brothers separated from each other at birth. They had to face fear and fight frustration in order to meet little orphaned brother dragons and make them their friends. Stories about their adventures were designed to teach youths how to tame fear and frustration, and eventually make them powerful friendly forces.

Sir Stephen was naturally fearful and cautious. He had to build up his courage to overcome his fear. His brother, Sir Henry, was fearless, but challenged by frustration that burned within him like the fire of a dragon. He had to cool that fire so he could think of a plan to achieve his goals. Both knights befriended young dragons that grew to become powerful helpers.
The Dragon of Fear became "Protector Dragon" and protected the village sheep from packs of wolves. The Dragon of Frustration became "Sir Drag-on" and pulled huge logs to help construct buildings in the village.
After the brothers and their dragon friends all met, fearful Stephen was a cautious and careful planner, but he had to learn that bold action was sometimes needed. Fearless Henry was naturally quick to act, but he had to learn to "look before he leaped' and think before he acted. Likewise, Protector Dragon was afraid of his own fire, but had to learn to use his fire in a controlled way to keep the village safe from packs of wolves. Sir Drag-on loved to help build log buildings, but he had to control his temper when logs got stuck so he didn't burn the buildings down with his angry fire.
The knights and their dragon friends had complimentary characteristics. Each of their natural tendencies became strengths in certain situations. Cautious Sir Stephen developed a plan when caution was needed and bold Sir Henry was fearless when quick action was needed. Likewise, Protector Dragon used his more fearful nature save the village sheep, while explosive Sir Drag-on used his power to pull huge stones and logs whenever they were needed to build buildings in the local village.

The nights and their dragon friends had great adventures together. As they worked together and learned from each other, they became a closely connected team in which they took turns being brave enough to face fears and bold enough to fight frustrations, .
