Dragon: As I sit here at this bar that has been open since 1852. The spot has also been run by the same family for six generations. Over the years, two fires have broken out, burning the tavern to the ground. However, both times, Breitbach's Country Dining was rebuilt.
This is what American history is like: we have struggles and build things that will just survive. Just like what you and I and Legion will endure really soon. The difference between you and I. I know I'm walking into a fight that will push me to my limits. You are still waving your white and red flag of paranoia and swearing that the match is rigged against you.
William orders a beer and steak medium rare and eggs over easy. He grabs his phone and begins looking up Stu-E's reference about a patron Saint of England killing a dragon. He finds the information and begins to read while taking notes as well.
Dragon: Let's see you careless about Greek mythology and say they are not real but then tell me a story about Saint George offering to kill an imaginary Dragon so that 15,000 men including a king of Silene convert to Christianity and be baptized. He supposedly beheaded the imaginary creature and the body was carted out of the city on four ox-carts. Wow!!!
William looked with a lost but comical smirk on his face. He looks at the people spending time at the bar and restaurant feeling the pride and honor of these people that they have for their community and the country as a whole. They are watching sports on the TVs and talking about their crops and how the country is going.
William sits back in his chair as he listens to this group of older gentlemen sitting across from him. They talk about the wars they have fought in and the wars that America is in now. William looks at the pictures of kids that have died for the country hanging on a wall of memorial. The feeling of true sadness and honor is felt in William's heart.
Dragon: Stu-E you talk down on me anytime you can. Why is that maybe because just like the revolutionary war you British bullies acted like the American colonies should bow down to your rules like forcing colonists to allow British soldiers to sleep and eat in those American homes. It was always a stacked deck in those times British pushing the American people around like ya'll were something more than any of you were.
Now Stu-E I start to understand why in this match you are so paranoid that it's a match that has you standing in the shoes of the American colonist. Because the big bad Legion will work together with me to beat you. But see I have nothing to prove to you or anyone else.
The server walks up and hands William his food and multiple choices of hot sauces. William thanks the waitress.
Dragon: That is the difference in this match. You want to prove to all of HWA that you will destroy a man that did you wrong and I understand being a father myself. I raised a strong minded and strong willed woman that has her daddy's strength and courage.
But you also have to step back into the ring with a man that you have history with. A man that took his time to beat you down for not only your first match back but also his. So you want to make sure that defeat was a fluke.
William begins to eat his steak and eggs. He drinks the beer and asks for another. He feels the emotion for all these people and just feels strength and fortitude and a true calmness. He eats and revels in the chance to get into the ring at Art of War to see who truly will have their hand raised in victory. William finishes the food and walks over to the vets across from him. He sits and begins to talk as the scene fades to black…..
