By having the dragon fight the Wizard, no more harm wouldcome to the townspeople or the King's soldiers.The sorcerers were victorius as the dragon's great power defeated the Wizard.The king ordered the sorcerers to entomb the Wizard inside of a special sword.The little kingdom was safe from the wizard, and the people were andprosperous once again.The good sorcerers told the king, "Should the Wizard ever escape from withinthis special sword, only a warrior from a faraway land be able to defeat him!"The next day, the sorcerers had mysteriously disappeared.The special sword was placed in the care of only the highest officials in theland, and was passed down along with the prophecy from one generation to the next.
