Nighty, night, headless knight

At the top of the world, the last kingdom was built or was it the first?
No one could tell since the spell once spoken by a wizard wasn't broken yet.

A dragon guarded the place and although there was no one to protect it against she kept circling up in the sky secretly hoping some event would happen that would kill the boring life she was living.

Years passed by if not ages and all one could tell, if anyone would ever show up and be able to leave alive, that the dragon was still present filling the air with her majestic posture, flapping her wings while not a single soul ever set foot outside the castle.

On a certain day, a man on a horse galloped through the forest. He was self-assured and driven by a tale told by his nanny in his childhood. All he wanted was to find the truth hidden at the top so he studied hard to be a knight since knights are needed to destroy dragons and to break into castles, no matter if it's day or night.

Ohh, if this headless knight would have only understood it's useless to fight against a bored dragon, one forty times his size and incessant to protect the world and building it was living in.
