A dragon was said to reside just outside the village of Mordiford.
From early life, the beast, green in colour, was said to have loved a small girl named Maud who resided in Mordiford, Herefordshire, and had nurtured it from infancy. When it grew into adolescence and adulthood, she remained the only person safe from its reign. Only she could soothe it, by gently stroking its claws and cuddling with it. But it saw all other creatures in its territory, human or animal, as prey.
Maud implored the beast during her visits to stop its rampage. Still the beast, now fully mature, killed everything in its way except for Maud, its only friend. A man from the local Garstone family set out in full armour to end the beast's life forever, finding the beast nearly camouflaged into the forest's many plants. The dragon almost instantly released a blast of fire, Garstone barely deflecting it. He aimed a lance at the wyvern's throat, releasing it and fully penetrating through the dragon. Maud, insane with rage and grief, burst from the surrounding forest and came to mourn her past pet. https://twitter.com/SaCha1689/status/1364786685205241858
