Description
Movement three, “Strife Between Dragon and Man” is probably the most controversial movement, since there is no textual support in Vietnamese mythology that suggests there ever was striving between dragons and men. But every other dragon mythology, especially in Britain and western Europe, does teach that men and dragons were often at war with one another, so this idea I tried to capture here. If one wanted to be more historically accurate, this movement could be a shift from a focus on the dragon to the warring dynasties between Vietnam and the surrounding nations of ancient times.
