(Dear Reader,
The story আপনি are about to read is another Eden book. "The Guardian of Eden" is part of the Encounter series. Please keep in mind that some parts may be spoilers for other Eden Chronicles books.
The following story was originally written spring 2011 under the শিরোনাম "Hirach." It has since been changed. I hope আপনি all enjoy this tale from Eden.

A ফ্যান্টাসি NOVEL
PROLOGUE
THE FIRST GUARDIAN
Centuries ago, when humans began to exploitthe dragons' Knowledge and power for themselves, something had to be done. A special meeting of Parliament was called to address the problem. The king, who, at six centuries of age, still retained his youthful musculature, countered every proposal Parliament put forth.
"We must isolate ourselves from the humans. Our power is too great for them to have."
"No. I have a better idea." The king proceeded to outline his plan.
The plan called for humans to be selected to guard and use the dragons' abilities for good. Allthat remained was to draw up the qualities that would be required of the new "Guardians."
*
When the plan had solidified, ড্রাগন streamed through thed portal, each searching for a Guardian of their own. Most of the new Guardians were young children, too young to fully understand the responsibility. Their innocence attracted the ড্রাগন like moths to light.
Only one dragon ignored the young humans. Human chhildren went through many phases, innocence being only one. This dragon, a copper female whose name is হারিয়ে গেছে to history, had an idea of her own.
She was searching for a human, just like all the rest. However, she was different in the quaalities she looked for. Her Guardian had to be mature, yet retain its childood innocence. Only one fit both sies of the equation.
He was a peasant boy of about seventeen years of age. His face had not yet হারিয়ে গেছে its childhood roundness. His name was Arthur Pendragon.
*
Arthur was plowing the wheatfield when the dragon approached. The massive female stood in the middle of the field, glaring at him with one eye bright as a new copper coin. After many minutes, she spoke.
"Are আপনি Arthur Pendragon?"
"Yes. Now if আপনি don't mind, I have plowing to do," he replied curtly. The dragon's copper eye narrowed.
"You would do well to learn some manners, simple boy," she retorted.
"I may be a peasant, but that doesn't mean I am simple."
"Simple অথবা no, আপনি are to come with me." Thanks to the dragon,.Arthur eventually became king of his land. Over the centuries, those of his line were always chosen as Guardians. Not too long ago, humans distanced themselves from magic. ড্রাগন became a story, and the Guardians faded into oblivion. It wasn't the fault of the dragons, for there was no stopping the decline. Humans quickly descended into rough, grasping barbarians.
The humans killed for the sake of killing, slaughtering their siblings in cold blood. The only way to restore order was to restore the Guardians.
***
The শিরোনাম of this new book is a play on Garden of Eden.
Arthur Pendragon, the first Guardian, is indeed the King Arthur of legend.
Any magical being can choose a Guardian, but ড্রাগন established the tradition.
Dragon magic is complicated. Strict rules govern its use. One rule, which came about through the language itself, prevents ড্রাগন from using any magic on themselves, even healing spells. আরো will be covered as it comes up.
I think that covers everything for this chapter. Let me know if you're still confused.

This is a poem I came up with
The pain is far greater
the pain is almost blinding
আপনি ব্যক্ত you'd always প্রণয় me
a rope of প্রণয় wrapped around me, a binding
But now I know the truth
You're nothing but a fake
আপনি took my হৃদয় and played with it
and now my হৃদয় does nothing but ache
I wish to hear your voice again
I wish আপনি had never hurt me
for now I can't even look at আপনি
without having to turn and flee
This pain has gotten worse
I can't stand it much longer
but if I take a blade....
I can take the pain আপনি gave me and make a different pain stronger.
