Description

Original no copy, began in 2001 and put aside until 2008. I went through several color schemes, a few of which can be seen in the GIF/PNGs. Perhaps it's a cliched subject matter, but I hope it can be appeciated for its execution. :-D
Background Story
----------------
In Norse mythology, Fafnir was a son of the dwarf king Hreidmar and brother of Regin and Otr. He guarded his father's house of glittering gold and flashing gems. He was the strongest and most aggressive of the three brothers.
After Otr was killed by Loki, Hreidmar received the cursed gold of Andvari's as repayment for the loss of his son. Fafnir and Regin then killed their father to get the gold, but Fafnir decided he wanted it all, turning into a dragon (symbol of greed). Regin then sent his foster-son, Sigurd, to kill the dragon. Sigurd succeeded by digging a pit under the trail Fafnir used to walk to a stream and plunging his sword Gram into his heart as he walked past.
