Approximately eight years after the end of the "Explode-necked" event, SCP-1762, which had been determined to be "neutralized", re-emitted smoke.

From the chest appeared a piece of amethyst and a book.

The crystal crystal is engraved with the words "for the last time".

The book contains a detailed account of the various species that live in the "Illusory World", and the author of the book says that they are extinct.

This is the end.

Connected by a box, the vague past of dragons and humans in the fantasy world may be the essence of SCP-1762.

The Foundation remained as cold as ever, watching the entire process of the fall of the Illusion Realm without doing anything.

This cannot be said to be a mistake.

But it's hard for the reader not to grieve at the words of those dragons, for the sheer trust and protection they give to humans.

As the words "the dragon was here" reveal the emotional color-

Something precious and incredible once existed there, but it was already there.

We still don't know what the "illusory world" is.

A real otherworld, or a child's naïve fantasy, or even the collective manifestation of a fantasy story written by a human being?

We have lost them.

They are killed by enemies who have not been revealed, either as a reference to the Foundation's concealment and inaction, or as a reference to humanity's abandonment of mystery and toward science.

Just like the dragon in "SCP-3844-Slayer".

3844 and the Foundation were first met in 1906, and "it looked exactly what we imagined it to be", referring to the comer as "the Knight of the New Age".

In 1941, the Foundation began construction of containment procedures for it, erasing all traces of it.

The communication between it and the Foundation personnel was very friendly, and it only asked, "Will you allow me to fly again?"

"I hope so. But I'm afraid not until the end of the war. The doctor replied.

But by the time the time came 1984, the war had long since ended, and the dragon was still contained.

Special containment procedures have been constructed for it, and anti-aircraft guns are placed near the lair. And it has become weaker, from size to ability, some of which can even be explained by science.

The Doctor who had communicated with the dragon became O5-2, and many years later he returned to the area for a long-lost appointment.

"When did you learn the nature of the light?" the dragon asked.

"At least a few decades ago. ”

"What about the smallest structures that make up the material world?"

"We took apart the atom during the war. ”

"It won't be long before you may be able to explain the origins of my race!"

"Well, you'll be amazed by the power of science. For example, oh my God, the people in our department have discovered that some of the so-called anomalies are not anomalies at all. ”

"So, has science found a way for me to spread my wings and fly?"

This time, the answer is still no.

Because of the development of radar technology, dragons are not allowed to leave the lair.

Until 2007.

Now it's only ten meters long, its entire body is fading, its abilities are shrinking, and even the principle of fire-breathing has been fully understood by the Foundation.

The dragon had one last conversation with O5-2.

It thought that O5-2's immortality must be some kind of magic, and the other party simply replied, "With sufficient research, everything is science." ”

The dragon thought it was too bad.

Science, science is eroding the world it is familiar with, those "flaming balls of gas" are replacing the "stars".

But the world in its mind was still the same as it had been when a duke described the stars many, many years ago," he said, 'They are little lights from heaven.' His voice was as awe-struck as it was when you first met me. ”

O5-2: "Are you saddened by the progress of science, upset that we can now understand your existence?"

"No, I'm mourning the myths and miracles that no longer exist. I wish I could embrace science, but science takes away so much of what I enjoy in our world. I found out that I was allergic to science. ”

With the only remaining confidence and dignity, SCP-3844 spreads its wings for a century with the bizarre fantasy of not being willing to die.

It was executed by anti-aircraft guns, leaving only the remains of an ordinary flying lizard.

The dragon's lair changes from a huge cave to a small hole about 1 meter deep and 2 meters in diameter.

It's like a dream.

The world's last dragon died on April 11, 2007, in the fall of fantasy.

The Foundation is on the verge of neutralizing the project, if not for the next iteration......

In the latest part of the document, SCP-3844 has been reclassified as Keter, a vague description that defies the Foundation's norms, and at the end of the only note left by the uploader—

"Dragons. There are also many dragons that live in the mountains. ”

These mysterious creatures, which are at odds with science, have lost their mythical shells in the gradual clarity of human perception of the world.

However, new mysteries are constantly emerging, and new dragons are emerging in areas that science has not been able to explore.

We don't know everything yet.

We will know it all.

Is this fortunate or unfortunate?

But in any case, human illusions should never end.

"SCP-CN-1999-Fantasy Relic" in the middle continues the idea of the above work, and focuses on "imagination of the sky".

Since a long time ago, large entities formed for unknown reasons have been appearing in the sky.

They change shape according to human pop culture preferences and are considered to be the embodiment of people's romantic fantasies about the unknown.

It is the legend of every era.

Similar to the development experienced by SCP-3844, the frequency of such occurrences has decreased as the times have progressed rapidly.

After most people moved to other planets, they largely ceased to appear.

In 3091, five years after SCP-CN-1999 ceased to appear, a large number of fantasy entities suddenly appeared above the earth, and they began to collide with each other and fall, and then dissipated before falling to the ground.

The last eight fantasy relics that the Foundation rescued in an emergency were eventually lost in the course of repeated experiments and long periods of time.

SCP-CN-1999 seems to have vanished completely, along with human fantasies about the sky.

But only "it seems".

In 4001, some of the images and comments posted on the Internet caught the Foundation's attention—

"The other day, my friends and I went on a trip to the earth. This place, which is said to be the birthplace of human civilization, is now full of ruins, weeds, and primitive houses, and is not inhabited by many people. But because of this, we also saw the ocean connected to the skyline for the first time. When we reached the sea, there were creatures at the bottom of the water that we had never seen before, and the water was so close to the sky that it seemed as if they jumped up and entered the sky. ”

"On the planet where I was born, the sea and the sky were divided by dense urban lines, and even the sky that peeked out of the square was filled with all kinds of new flying ships. Today, however, I saw a colorful creature in the colorless void on that side: a fish flying in the air. Reason tells me that this cannot be a real creature, just because fish are born in the ocean and die in the ocean, but deep down I am fantasizing whether they also cruised in the air in that era of technological backwardness, on that planet where water and sky meet. ”

They say the dragon was here.

But what really "once was" was the belief and dream of human beings in that wonderful world that cannot be explained by science.

The hazy beauty of the world is obscured by intellectual reality.

But at least we had faith.

We used to have dreams.

"Even though I am in the midst of a fruit shell, I still consider myself the king of the infinite universe. ”

The borders of the world are the end of human imagination.
