Dragons aren't real. Everyone knows that. Just as they know magic is not real, and even if it was real, it would be evil. It's that simple. Some races, those lesser beings that were spoken of in fairy tales but likely did not exist, they have magic, but they keep it to themselves. Humans are blessed to never be touched by the foul stuff. Any human caught baring even a hint of magic leanings was to be scourged from any village or city where they were found before the demonic plague of magic could spread!
But it was not real. Not really. Just like dragons were not real. Still, it was good to bear in mind the warning. Just in case. And to keep an eye out for suspicious goings-on. Just in case. And stay out of the woods on the hill that was rumored to be the dragon's hunting grounds. Just in case. It was probably a bear or similar predator that spooked the horses and scared the dogs silly, but one never knew...
The ancient stories clung on and on... and perhaps there was a grain of truth... just a grain... for sometimes a woman was accused of witchcraft and rightfully brought to justice. Sometimes there were grand, ornate trials with these women, and now and then one was freed, but it was better to er on the side of caution than to fall to the foul tangles of the devil! Just in case.
Well, magic might be real, but it was easily burnt out. Dragons, dragons were definitely not real.
Still, it was best to avoid the hill.
Just in case.
