The Legend of The Dragon Princess In Komodo Island

 

What a belief has strongly influenced the behavior!

Once upon a time, the dragon princess – a mystical princess married with Empu Najo, and gave birth a twin babies. The baby boy was named as Gerong and the female baby dragon named Orah. Gerong and Orah grown separately in different world. Gerong grown in human world while Orah in the forests. When Gerong grown as a young man, he went for hunting deer in the forests. He met no deer but Orah. They did not know each other. When Gerong pointed his arrow and would like to shoot Orah, their mother suddenly showed up. She said: “Do not kill her, because she is your sister!”.

After that moment all the villagers of the Komodo village believed that they and the dragons are brothers and never like to hurt each other. We can witness how people live together with the dragons on the land in a harmony and how people treat the dragons as sisters up to now.
