What no one expected was that Draco and Einon's fates are linked together through the dragonheart. With Bowen as a leader, Draco as the muscle and the help of an aspiring poet, and Monk (Postlethwaite) and a plucky peasant (Meyer), they believe they can succeed. They then decide to encourage another peasant uprising to bring an end to Einons tyrannical rule. Both Bowen and Draco believed their influence could change him but they were wrong. His time with Draco reminds him of how far he has strayed from the Old Code, and he realizes that Einon was always evil.
The dragon doesn't have to worry about actual slayers and Bowen makes a living hustling the villagers.īowen and the dragon slowly become friends and Bowen eventually names him Draco, after the dragon constellation. The dragon harasses towns and Bowen will pretend to kill him. They fight to a standstill and decide to strike a partnership instead of killing each other. After many 12 years of dragonslaying, Bowen encounters the one who performed the dragonheart ritual, though he doesn't recognize him.
