	The dragon climbed high for a moment to gather itself up to make
the final attack.  The audacity of these humans! it thought.  They steal
from  me, then think that they have to power to fight me!?!  The dragon
was being more and more enraged thinking of what these humand had done.
This will put an ent to them.  A meteor flew passed him, nearly ripping
a wing.  
	"How Dare He!!" Bolt yelled in dragon at the mage below.  "Since
you have my ring, you will the first to die!!"
	
	Though most people wound never have understood a dragon speaking
Dragon, Salamander was one who did not fit that description.  He understood
completely that he had just pissed off a dragon and was to become the
Dragons's direct target.  Knowing he couldn't hide, Salamander drew his
wand of magic missiles and began pelting the diving Dragon with them.
The missiles were only pissing Bolt off.  Bolt openned his mouth to
breathe.  Salamander knew his time was up, adn that ducking wouldn't
change it.  I can't believe that a Blue Dragon would be my fate... If
only Kaeli were here...  

	Bolt let loose with his breath weapon.  This mage whould have
been a nice snack, he thought.  But Bolt knew that the lightning would 
fry the human to a crisp.  But then he realized that the mage was still
standing when the bolt hit him.  What!! teh Dragon thought.. then
realized his foolish mistake- the ring could absorb his lightning (how
did that ring hide that from me before??) Bolt thought.  No matter, I'll
rip him to shreds. Not even changing course in his dive, the dragon
reached out his claws.

	Salamander was too baffled by the fact that the lightning did no
affect him to get out of the way of the dragon's claw.

	Luthor thought *THE DRAGON COULD MISS SALAMANDER*  -- and the
dragon did.  Bolt climbed up to make another pass.

	The it hit Salamander... THE RING!!!!   Quickly hie ripped open
the pouch he put it in, spilling most of its contents, but the ring
fell into his hand.  Slipping ti on, Salamander began to build his will
to fight the dragon's will.
	To the rest of the group, Salamander seemed to have gone into a
trance.  Then, a faint blue glow eminating from the ring he had just put
on encompassed his body.  In their minds, they heard:


	SUBMIT TO ME NOW, DRAGON!!  Salamander thought- he always
belived in the blunt frontal assault.
	NEVER!! Bolt screamed in his mind, suddenly aware that the
ring's true purpose had been discovered.  I SHALL DESTROY YOU!!
	I'VE DESTROYED YOUR KIND BEFORE. Salamander warned  I CAN DO IT
AGAIN.  YEILD TO ME NOW!!
	NO!!!!   Bolt tried to fight the rings controle was too much.
And there was something more - the mage... Bolt looked into Salamander's
mind.
	THAT'S RIGHT, Salamander thought, feeling the dragon's touch on
his mind.  I HAVE HEALD THE POWER THAT BARS TIAMAT FROM MY WORLD.  YOU
ARE NO MATCH FOR ME, NOW YEILD!!!

	With what seemed a great sigh, Bolt dropped to the ground in
front of Salamander.

	I YEILD, Bolt said, BUT I HATE YOU BEYOND YOUR HUMAN
UNDERSTANDING.
	I'M ELVEN, Salamander shrugged off the comment AND YOU WILL DO
MY BIDDING.
	I WILL....
