Our favourite self-proclaimed archeologist dragon makes a return! Courtesy of title limits, the story's full name is... different to this title. Rheal and his human assistant happen upon the ruins of the oldest human society, to discover the origin of the oldest stories shared by human and dragonkind... of the events that helped to shape the relationship between the species. This one has been in the works for a long time... could never get it quite how I liked... but, I hope you all enjoy

No offense but this stuff about the ancient dragon kind of proves why humans shouldn’t exactly have a lot of respect for the species? Reushin shows that it takes huge revolutions just to bring ONE of them down. Humans are kind of right to fear, dissed trust, and hate dragons. Because they seem to all be assholes to some degree.

For most human's its a story, and the story of another people. I wouldn't say the stories the oldest civilisations in the real world have a powerful effect on my interpretation of animals I encounter, for example. Either because it's just a story with no emotional connection, or just because I question if it ever happened. Johan only knows the story intimately because he's an archeologist, for example. And bearing in mind, the dragon is dead (and killed himself) We get one side of the story. History is written by the winners. That's why every revolution that succeeded was a heroic struggle against tyranny and every one that fails was a vicious band of manipulative neer-do-wells motivated by greed or ignorance. And humans so fear, distrust, and sometimes hate dragons. Not because they are "assholes" but for the same reason mice run into a hole when a cat wanders into view. Desire not to be eaten.
And onto the revolution point... again, sorry, but I thought I made it clear this was town sized. I wouldn't call a small town a huge revolution, also humans whose peak of knowledge was stonework. And given that dragon's... particular nature, building was probably way ahead of their other technologies. Sorry to wax on... but, I do feel you're more focussed on a point you want to make than whether or not the details of the story are in line with it...
