As I pulled the sword out of the dragon's skull, and wiped blood and brain off it, I saw the young woman, standing nearby. I assumed she was one of the maidens the foul beast had captured, but before I could tell her thanks weren't necessary, she asked an odd question.
"Why did you kill this creature?"
I blinked a few times before I climbed down the corpse.
"I'd say it was to claim the reward, but to be honest, because it killed my father."
"Greed and Revenge. Not good enough."
She vanished, and the beast rose once more, healed...
