"BLACK DRAGON" Painting

Series of Paintings "THE POWER OF THE DRAGON" STORY OF THE BLACK DRAGON: Once upon a time, in a distant and mysterious land, there was a mighty black dragon named Noctulus. He lived in dark mountains, shrouded in eternal mists and surrounded by impenetrable forests. His scales were blacker than the night itself, and his eyes gleamed like two burning embers. Noctulus was not just a dragon, but the guardian of an ancient magic, over a thousand years old. Many considered him an evil creature because he fiercely defended his territory from men and other beings. But few knew that within the dragon's heart lay deep wisdom and a desire to protect his world from the darkness that could destroy all living things. One day, in the kingdom not far from Noctulus's mountains, a terrible calamity occurred. An ancient demon emerged from the depths of the caves, darkening the sun and bringing an eternal night upon the land. The king gathered the best knights and wizards to fight against the evil, but their strength was insignificant compared to the demon's power. Desperate, the king recalled the legends of the black dragon and decided to seek his help. He sent his daughter, Princess Eliana, to request Noctulus's aid. Eliana, brave and wise, embarked on a dangerous journey, overcoming many hardships along the way. When she reached the mountains, she discovered that the dragon was not as terrifying as the stories described. She told Noctulus of the calamity that had befallen her kingdom. Listening carefully, the dragon remained silent for a long time, pondering. Then he agreed to help, but he set one condition: the people had to stop hunting dragons and respect nature. The princess agreed, and together they set out for the kingdom. In the battle against the demon, Noctulus used all his magic and strength. The fight was long and difficult, but in the end, the dragon managed to defeat the demon, restoring light and peace to the land.
