Luck dragon tales

As part of learning my teacher has insisted I keep a journal. He did not specify about what so I've chosen to record the past. Someday, this may be used to spread legends of my destined role.

Summer 187 AoN
I was just returning from eating my fill when a dangerous looking visitor appeared. It was a raven haired Kerasoka wearing leather armor of a deep black. A pair of dirks were sheathed at his side. He rested scarred hands on the pommels of his weapons.
"Welcome seeker of the luck dragon's favor. You may have one request granted in exchange for proper compensation. My power is bound by three unbreakable rules. One; I will not force love on the unwilling. Two; I am no assassin if it is murder you seek go elsewhere. Three; you can not wish for multiple wishes only one per visit. Are these terms acceptable traveler?" Dessrexin waited patiently for a response.
The Kerasoka grew angry as the rules were laid out. "That is ridiculous you are a dragon mightiest of all beast. It should be easy for you to end a pitiful human's life. I want the head of a powerful house Arcaod member. She must fall at my feet broken and bloody so I can dance on her corpse." The elves words were followed by crazed laughter.
"Well then I suggest you do it yourself. No matter what offering you bring fate itself decreed my rules. So I must refuse, do you have any other wishes?"
The crazed sound continued for a few more moments before he spoke again. "A counter offer then, give me the funds to hire my own slayer. Or I will take what I want reguardless lizard." Without waiting for an answer he drew his weapons and charged the dragon recklessly.
Dessrexin swiped with both front claws. Unfortunately, he missed as the determined elf nimbly dodged striking just under his neck with both dirks. The weapons were coated with enough lethal poison to kill a fully grown elephant three times over. However, the kerasoka didn’t know his target was immune to the poison. So the dragon may have felt pain, but his attacker left himself open for a devastating bite. The interloper was crushed and pierced simultaneously, dying instantly with a muffled scream of pain. With the fool's death Dessrexin added more treasures to his hoard and had a unplanned desert.
