Deknarg the Cold

Summer was getting tired of winter's reign and decided he would do something about it. Shortly after winter had gone to bed and was snoring loudly, Summer summoned a dragon from the far north to lie down in front of Winter's home. Summer fed the dragon and by the time Winter was ready to get up the dragon was so big it blocked her front door and she was trapped.
Without Winter to take over, Summer bathed the land in sunlight until the grass burned, rivers dried up, and all living things were dying from the heat.

Deknarg saw all that was happening and decided he had had enough. Deknarg took up his spear and approached Winter's home. The dragon saw him coming and tried to stand and fight, but Summer had fed the dragon so much that it could barely move. Realizing it could not fight, the dragon fled from Deknarg who chased it into a cave. At long last, Winter was able to emerge and push summer back, but Deknarg realized he could not let the dragon leave the cave ever again. He place himself at the mouth of the cavern and sat down with his back to the world. There, as Winter brought snow and cold and healing back to the land, Deknarg sat until his bones froze, and his heart stopped beating. There he sits still, lest the dragon ever try to escape the cave.
