When two great forces occupy the same land or space, there will be clashes between them. One of the two opposing forces, one will be stronger than its adversary. On the other hand, it is also possible that both forces are equally matched and the end will not occur soon.
The fictional Dragons are always depicted as powerful beasts in movies and in television series like “Game of Thrones”. In stories, authors create their “dragons”, the villain and the Hero. Both characters are powerful, although they also have their flaws. It is usually these weaknesses, that result in the Hero or the Villain winning the battle.
Is there a balance between good and evil in our stories? Yes, we as writers can create our conflicts, challenges, and resolutions, so that good triumphs over evil. However, in reality, this is usually not always the case, where evil triumphs over good or appears to seem so. What appears to be evil or good is actually a fight for survival taking place by forces and people on either side of the battle.
Life is not so black and white as we find in the movies, stories, and novels. These “Dragon Wars” as I refer to them are an enigma and it is the dragons on either side, that can determine the outcome of the war, especially if both are powerful.
