	Hi, I feel compelled to begin with my enthusiastic applause for this 
great story.
	Anyways that done I wanted to give some thought to an underlying 
question namely What's up with the Dragon.  Now in the story the dragon 
offers a small amount of it's blood to a sorceror/sorceress who can defeat
it's minnions, asking for a quantity of the mage's blood in return.  Why 
would a dragon do his?  After all it's blood is infinately more powerful 
than human blood so what does it need the blood for?  Here's my theory:  

	You know, that makes me wonder... _why_ is dragon's blood 
infinitely more powerful that a human's?  It's a tradition, sure, but I 
don't buy it.  I see no reason why human blood, in a fantasy sense, 
should be as powerful, if not more so, than some overgrown flying lizard's.
	But, yeah... great story!
