Today is Sunday, and the people of McCready are bracing themselves for a dragon attack. The shops in the village were closed today, because everyone was spending time with their families, and with God.
Everyone was in church today praying for the safety of themselves and the village. After church, me, my wife, and my 4 month old son went home to spend time together. I am nervous about the emanate attack, but I've fought many dragons over the years.
I'm thinking about facing the dragons outside the village. The sword is sharp, the shield is ready, and my armor is strong. To keep the village safe, I have to make sure they never make it here. If I do decide to leave McCready to fight the dragons, I don't think I can do it alone. I'm just not sure how many there are, and how strong they will be. I do hope my brother gets here soon.
I will be praying about this decision and speak to my wife about it. I will sleep tonight, and tomorrow I will make my final decision. It wouldn't be the first time I've left the village, just the first time away from my son. It will be a tough decision, but the safety of my family and the village is my top priority.

Diary of a Dragon Slayer- 2
There hasn't been any sign of the dragons that are rumored to be coming in from the east. I still am not taking any chances though. I have sent Patrick the messenger to Silverton, a neighboring village about 20 miles west of our village of McCready. I told him to find my brother and have him and his expecting wife come stay with me until the dragons come, or change course. My brother is also an experienced dragon slayer, so it is better if we worked together.
We've had some villagers receive letters from loved ones saying there homes have been destroyed, and many have been killed. I'm not sure why these dragons won't stop their destruction and death. All we can do is fight against them. It is a very tense time for all of us in McCready.
All I do is sharpen my sword and polish my shield. My armor is made from dragon scales from previous kills that I have done. The armor is as strong as steel. I'm more than ready for any kind of attack.
I've done this for many years, and I'm more nervous now than I've been since I started. Its because my son is almost 4 months old, and my wife is the greatest in the village. The fact that something could happen to them scares me. I could never love anything more than I love them. They are the reason why I wake up everyday. My wife is readying our supper. We will pray for our safety, and ask for God to watch over us. Tomorrow is Sunday, the Lords day. With the inevitable danger to our village, you can be sure there will be many praying for safety at church tomorrow. God's the only one that can keep us strong and safe through these desperate times. Tomorrow will be a day to spend with my family and my Lord before the village encounters any dragons. I just hope my brother gets to the village before the dragons do.

Diary of a Dragon Slayer- 1 Introduction
Its not always easy being a professional dragon slayer. There aren't very many of us left. Many stay in the village as bakers, lock smiths, and blacksmiths. That's all they've known for their whole lives. When you're a professional dragon slayer, its filled with danger and you know that one day, you may not come back home to your family.
I've killed many dragons, and I've seen many villages destroyed because of dragons. I have also lost many friends and family because of these dragons. There isn't a day that goes by that I wish I could do another profession, but this is all I know. My father, my brother, my uncle; we are all dragon slayers. One day, even my son will do this.
So you may ask, why do I do it? To risk my life everyday, and the pay isn't even that good. The reason is this, there are people who want to be bakers, lock smiths, blacksmiths, and many other professions that keep our village moving. The fact that they don't have to do what I do, and can go to work without any fear, makes me happy. I'm no hero, but someone has to keep these dragons away from here. The fact that everyone is safe is the only thanks that I need.
Even though its a rough winter, it doesn't mean that my work will slow down. It is a well known fact that dragons don't hibernate. The village needs me. It is believed that there are dragons coming in from the east. The village shouldn't worry; me, my sword, and my shield are ready.
