Description It had been centuries since she last ventured into her sea side cavern, centuries since she last sifted her paws through the vastly mountains of golds, rubies and treasures of plenty she kept there.

As with all dragons over time, she outgrew her cavern long ago... Though, even if she wasn't so big, she doubted she would have squeezed her hips into the cave anyway.

Again they came, those eager little humans on their stalworth vessels. The humans were many, had pikes long and swords sharp. Their greed hungry for her golds, gems and treasures untold.

And again, she feasted.

Pike staves cracked and blades bent, ships sank and men broke.
But still, every year, they tried. Dozens of ships and thousands of men, with more and more coming each passing decade. Centuries of men striving to gain her treasures had failed to do so, but they had fed her well.

She lay upon the cliff face like a daemon goddess, a guardian of the greeds of men. One by one the ships made for her cavern, and one by one she swallowed them all.

"Why even do you try?"

Her voice boomed like thunder, an unholy roar to the puny men who cowered on their ships, some daring the ice cold water and razor sharp rocks of the sea rather than suffer her maw.
She laughed to the sky, watching the remaining men squeal in fear as she swallowed half their ship.

"No matter, you like your fathers before you, and their fathers before them have all tried to steal my treasures. You will all share the fate of your ancestors now."

She glanced behind to look at herself, chuckling at the sight of her swollen gluttonous belly sprawled upon the cliff tops, sloshing full of ships, men and sea water. She curled her long thick tail gleefully, watching it swaying over her wide voluminously plump hips.
With a playful grin, she swallowed the rest of the ship in her left paw, then the other in her right, and then another, and another, ever feeding her own greedy appetite.





I do so love old sea tales, myths and legends... And big beautiful dragon lasses with an appetite for treasure and feasts! ^.=.^

I had fun with this little short story, and I hope you all enjoy! =3

Probably forgotten something, usually do. ^.=.^

A few hundred years later, tanks, fighter jets, battleships, missiles, nukes, and guns.
no more puny wooden ships for you to snack on. Now, your probably gonna die if you face them because if they cannot get it, nobody will. (Nuked)

Do not take this as a hate message, I try to remain neutral. I merely pointed out though, that the military might of our armies would probably wreck that dragon, just like it wrecked our ships hundreds of years ago, and if we still cannot destroy it, a few hundred MORE years, giant mechs, space battle ships, LASERS, forcefields, and etc.

not a hate message, a factual message

No, the U.S has battleship mounted masers that can take down planes in a few seconds, depending on engine armoring.

The laser itself is hard to see, so it looks like a big turret just slowly tracking a plane across the sky, until the plane bursts into flames and plummets into the ocean. I've also heard that we are researching smaller lasers that can shoot down ballistic missiles and cannonfire.

The only thing capable of containing plasma is an ultra strong electromagnetic field, as it is as hot as the core of the sun.

Easy enough, just takes a few EMF generators of some sort, nothing the military cannot handle if needing to fight such a creature.

TheIronPelvis In reply to doomrider023 [2014-10-21 21:05:05 +0000 UTC]

Keep in mind it's an EXPIREMENTAL ENGINE, meaning it's only use would be propulsion, and it gobbles up energy like a mofo. It'd be much cheaper and safer to build a space laser and melt whatever behemoth you're fighting that's big enough that you'd consider risking incinerating you, a multi billion dollar govt project and everything else. Or just nuke it from orbit. Both of the safer alternatives (kinda) exist already.

Not a problem. Nuclear warheads are capable of leveling cities, and some missiles
Carry twelve of the things. However, the dinosaur killing asteroid had a yield of 100 teratons, or 100000000000000 TONS of TNT, a number that gives me heavy breathing.

Actually, the largest nuke earth ever had was only 50 megatons, or 50000000 tons. And there was only one. So it would take two million of those to match it.

Ah, I have a fav for PKMs and miniguns :3
As for snipers, there are too many to name, so I will name a few! AS50, M107, PTRSD, M-100 Intervention, there are loads of them, although I have a bit of a liking for the PTRSD, it's one of the largest infantry held guns, it was a WW2 Russian anti-tank rifle. It could pierce solid armor plating.
