Now it just so happened that in those human railroad camps was a fifty year old tavern barmaid
named Maggie Flynn.
What Maggie Flynn knew was that at the age of 50
the pickings were getting leaner and since there was no Welfare or National Pension to speak of
in 1870s United Draconic States
once the railroad was completed she was going to be out of a job and
a safe secure income.
Tough times
She also knew that dragons were magical and the version she'd heard and believed
about them was that if you drank a quantity of dragons blood
and made a wish,your wish came true.
Clearly the wish Maggie Flynn wanted to make after she got her hands on some magical dragons blood
was to be younger and prettier again.
So she set about getting her desperate hands
on some dragons blood so she could make her wish a reality.
