Khortdad was tall and strong, with a heart as pure as gold. He wore gleaming armor that sparkled like the night sky, and his trusty sword, named Sunrise, was as sharp as his wit.
One sunny afternoon, as Khortdad rode through a misty forest, he heard a faint cry for help.He dismounted his steed, Swiftwind, and followed the sound until he stumbled upon a small village. The villagers were in a panic. A fierce dragon had descended upon their homes, threatening to burn everything to ashes.
Without hesitation, Khortdad drew his sword and charged towards the dragon's lair.The dragon, a monstrous beast with scales as hard as iron and teeth like daggers, roared in defiance as Khortdad approached. But the valiant knight was undeterred.
For hours, they fought a fierce battle, each parry and thrust echoing through the forest.Khortdad's swordsmanship was unmatched, but the dragon's fire breath and razor-sharp claws proved to be a formidable challenge. Just when it seemed that all hope was lost, Khortdad noticed a glimmering object nestled within the dragon's horde.
It was the Dragon's Heart, a precious jewel said to hold immense power.With renewed determination, Khortdad lunged towards the jewel and seized it in his gauntlet. The dragon roared in agony as the Dragon's Heart emitted a blinding light, weakening the beast.
Summoning all his strength, Khortdad thrust Sunrise through the dragon's heart.The dragon let out a final roar before collapsing to the ground, lifeless. The victorious villagers erupted in cheers as Khortdad returned to the village, hailed as a hero.
From that day forward, Khortdad Barandica, the valiant knight who defeated the dragon, became a legend throughout the land, inspiring countless others to stand up for what is right and to believe in their own strength.
