Long agone, in a far- out area, there lived a important dragon named Smaug. Smaug was stressed and deified by all who lived in the land, for he was the last of his kind and held unconceivable wealth and strength. His lair was said to be filled with gold and jewels beyond measure, and it was said that anyone who could master Smaug would come the richest and most important person in the area.

One day, a stalwart and ambitious youthful man named Bard decided that he’d be the one to master Smaug and claim his treasure. Bard was a professed sportswoman and had heard stories of a weak spot on Smaug’s underbelly, where his scales were thinnest. Bard set out on his trip, determined to master the dragon and claim his treasure.

As Bard traveled, he met numerous people who told him that Smaug was too important to master and that he should give up his hunt. But Bard was determined and would not be swayed. He eventually reached Smaug’s lair, and set up that the dragon was indeed a redoubtable foe. Smaug was enormous and his scales were as hard as sword. But Bard flashed back the stories he’d heard of the weak spot on Smaug’s underbelly and aimed his arrow precisely.

With a potent roar, Smaug dived at Bard, but the youthful man was quick and nimble. He dodged the dragon’s fire breath and let his arrow cover. It struck Smaug in the weak spot, and the dragon let out a blaring laugh. But to Bard’s dismay, the arrow didn’t kill Smaug. Enraged, Smaug turned his attention to the near city and began to inflict annihilation upon it.

Bard knew that he’d to act snappily to save the people of the city. He rallied the townsfolk and together they came up with a plan to master Smaug formerly and for all. They would bait the dragon out of his lair by lighting a large fire and also, while Smaug was detracted, Bard would strike the killing blow.

The plan worked impeccably, and with one final arrow, Bard struck Smaug in the heart, killing the dragon and saving the city. The people rejoiced, and Bard came a idol. But as they began to search Smaug’s lair, they set up that the dragon’s treasure wasn’t what they had anticipated. The gold and jewels that they had sought were tainted by Smaug’s rapacity and blood. And so Bard and the townsfolk decided to leave the treasure where it lay, and rather used the newfound peace and substance to rebuild and strengthen their community.

The story of Bard and Smaug came a legend, passed down through the generations. And though the treasure of Smaug was noway claimed, Bard’s frippery and selflessness were flashed back and celebrated for times to come.
