as he realized his appearance was so unwanted by her, embarrassment and anxiety
troubled his mind as he walked away. He, as a great creature has been conquering so many battles among other male dragons must face a defeat from a seemed so weak female one...unbelievable yet true...
Then he remembered once an old saying told to him :
"Greater in battleNow for the first time he really understood what the meaning of it ...
than the man who would conquer
a thousand-thousand men,
is he who would conquer
just one — himself"
