Now as everyone knows reptiles can regrow a limb if its chopped
off and you are now a awful lot of dragon,a reptile.
So one day the Knight and the Alchemist came invading the dragons
cave while he slept.
The alchemist had paid the Knight not to slay the beast,but to do a
alchemical experiment on it.
Reports had come about a dragon harassing people,a dragon whose one
hind foot was a darker shade,a much darker shade then the other 3 feet.
The Alchemist figured this foot was a new regrown limb,positively
bursting with rejuvenation and reproductive dragon life forces.
So the Knight had tied a heavily sedated cow outside the cave,which
the dragon had eaten,before falling into a deep drugged sleep.
The two folk cut off that foot,whilst the dragon merely grumbled
and twitched in his sleep,and put a proper wound dressing on his stump.
They packed you,the dragon foot in a proper container and ran like hell
before the dragon woke up and did a bad thing to them.
Back in the Alchemists laboratory he put you in a bubbling vat of nutrients and tried
to regrow the rest of your new dragon body from your dragon foot,which
he did in 9 months.
There you lay,a regenerated sleeping huge dragon in his lab...
